What They Won't tell You About Northern Nigeria (BEFORE YOU VISIT)

[@PoliticalAtheist80]

Water no get enemy. Fela Kuti

[@Ancin47]

Love your videos! Keep pushing! I am an American born black man that recently traveled to Osobo, Nigeria to get initiated into IFA.

[@DavidNkwa]

Awesome, welcome back home. thanks for the support

[@adeyinkaoladapo5863]

You mean you travelled to Osogbo😂 That is my state, Osun state, during Osun Osogbo festival

[@Jackdemno]

Try visiting abuja, very interesting city

[@dubabaxakatv2993]

There is time for five prayers....they don't stop anyhow...don't mind wait for them and continue travelling

[@sunnyyande378]

He has been saying it. This is one of the reasons why he was dethrone.

[@chelseadaddy7061]

People don't talk on boats because of sea sickness

[@philbek9055]

Praying before every meeting is a Jamaican practice too. All schools begin the day with prayer. Many bus / taxi drivers also pray before they start the day's journey. In fact, some have Bible verses etched on the vehicle. Official meetings begin with prayer.

[@OlierOnah]

Exactly what we do here in Nigeria and before embarking on a long journey in a public transport people also pray together.

[@phillthedrill]

I got an answer, its in you what you said the "flying boat" meaning it would be crusinh very fast and its there is no shelter around the boats therefore, you have to really shout to be heard, you will repeat yourself many times due to fast moving air

[@marlajones26]

I'm new to your channel and sir, t's amazing!! Can you take us (your audience) to Igbo pyramids? Are they in ruins, or are they still there? I love learning about Nigeria and its rich culture and beautiful landscapes! Thank you for the work you do to bring us videos. ❤

[@DavidNkwa]

Thank you Maria. We have lots of adventures and documentary video on the channel. Yes Igbo pyramid, I will find out more about that. Thank you

[@irinajo]

There’s a lot to learn about NIGERIA, we need people to tell and hear our stories

[@esthervanda7401]

@@irinajo Nigerians should tell their own stories

[@irinajo]

@@esthervanda7401 Yes NIGERIANS definitely

[@zk1479]

Good that we pray before public meetings. This is good habit and we should not want to become unprayful even when in public gathering. More prayers the better for us.

[@bbnCRLB]

Culture shock for me when I lived in Kano. Alcohol wasn't easy to come by. This was as far as 2008 and 2009. You had to go to Sabongeri. Secondly, up to 70% of cars on the road are Honda.

[@DavidNkwa]

Hmm

[@backbison]

What do Africans think about Somalia people?

[@praiseadelowo5556]

The part about expecting you to hear Hausa is true..very true

[@akrikaakrika1474]

Regarding the police roadblocks in the South, I couldn’t agree more with you. It’s like two different countries in one, in more ways than one. Unscrupulous Nigerian police makes more money from those roadblocks, especially in the SouthEast than the entire Nigerian police budget. It stinks to high heavens!

[@mercyaileme2678]

U are right

[@bbnCRLB]

The south is a "conquered territory" that must be constantly reminded of the might of the federal government. I'm Igbo and this is the sad reality of living in the south. This was even before IPOB and when Boko Haram was at its peak. They're more interested in dominating the south than protecting the North.

[@irinajo]

This is a very informative video. Thank you

[@mikahel.m.i9217]

Another banger, this is an edutainment, how ever Benue state is not a northern state, they have nothing in common

[@ahmednjidda6182]

The North doesn't claim you Mr man. Pls move the land far south to the coast. Like it's a plus affiliating with you guys.

[@mikahel.m.i9217]

@@ahmednjidda6182 We are not part of alimagiri republic, mr ahmed go claim your part and stop adding the middle belt to the north, we have nothing in common, stay inside your lane and allow others to remain in thiers period enough of manipulation.

[@yakubujungudo842]

North Central Geopolitical zone. Take any official document and fill middle belt, instead of north central to see whether it is acceptable. You can choose to live in denial though. It is your life

[@mikahel.m.i9217]

@@yakubujungudo842 That is the lie you people are using to edge us out all these years. Remove the middle belt and the land mass of the north will be small. We are tired of been lied to. Calling us north yet claiming power belong to you people. STOP all this north central shit !, it's not working and we don't need it any longer enough of lying, stealing, deceiving and brain scrubbing.

[@fesderi3933]

​@@ahmednjidda6182 why should a group of people move their ancestral land for your comfort, to you the north mean an ethnic group , you don't know the difference between Benue and your state ??

[@nwankwosunday4636]

U too much, I do love your researches❤ Keep up the good work 👍

[@asbanmediaservices2662]

O God! I am missing my home (Taraba)

[@goodwill351]

Thank u my brother for bridging the gap in nigeria through your lens ,from wode maya's camp

[@DavidNkwa]

Wodemaya squad I see you

[@prospektarty1513]

The only people that talk while on the boat are the Itsekiri and Ijaw people who are riverine and live on the Atlantic coast and the riverine Niger delta where the creeks are the highways and you have to travel everywhere by boat. Fear of the river isn’t present, however most Nigerians are terrified of water travel or even swimming in the sea and that’s why everyone is fully clothed on the beach and you hardly find people swimming. Nigerians also do not like mountains.

[@ashleyqueen5084]

Yeah stopping the car to pray also shocked me ooo....

[@Kim-js8jf]

So interesting. Thanks 🙏.❤️🇨🇦. Have a wonderful weekend

[@DavidNkwa]

You too Kim. Hope you are doing okay. Warm regards

[@drellalyons]

Nice video. Thank you

[@DavidNkwa]

Thank you

[@extrazero1593]

5:57 owch! that guy that got hit 3 times was like "why are you so angry?!" lol... 😵

[@prospektarty1513]

Black people are very spiritually conscious and praying is in our DNA.

[@kingodi9402]

Uncle David Do you have any partnership with bitelike?

[@DavidNkwa]

No sir

[@fortunewinter]

Great videos, would love to meet you.

[@DavidNkwa]

Thank you Winter looking forward to it

[@thembadube9589]

Mr Nkwa, have you perhaps posted a video where you answer questions posed by the admirers of your work? If so, would you kindly point me to where I can find it. I have some questions I would like to ask, some about you, and others about your country: 1. Apart from Igbo and English, which other languages can you speak? 2. There are some people who say the Igbos like to dominate other Nigerians. In your view, is there any truth in that assertion? 3. Seeing that your videos are so educational and well researched, I would have expected that many many Nigerians would view them. That, however, (judging solely by the displayed number of views) does not seem to be the case. What would you say is the reason for that? Lack of access to internet? 4. This one is a little sensitive, and apologies if it is inappropriate. Have the Biafrans forgiven the atrocities of the civil war? 5. Do you have any plans to do this wonderful work in other African countries? If so, please come down south and educate my fellow citizens about their country South Africa. 6. Finally, is Madam Nkwa Igbo? Have you and her blessed your parents with some grandchildren?

[@zaharsani]

The language you're talking about is also official in sahel region in Africa...... Broh religion is an opinion please let's us respect each others!

[@oceejekwam6829]

I am sure, the mixing of religion with politics wasn't the only thing that shocked your South Korean colleagues.

[@DavidNkwa]

🤣🤣

[@nwachichigbundu5602]

😢Insightful video. Thanks.

[@veraaddoyobo8482]

IT'S BECAUSE AFRICA IS VERY SPIRITUAL

[@BalmoralBaal]

No wonder the country is wasting its potential!!

[@Ilyasdawah]

Don’t you think it also happens In the south ? When you can’t speak English you are being ridiculed

[@phinextmoney7649]

❤️

[@allwellbenson3904]

I like your videos

[@barrymony4031]

The boat is almost everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@juliafox7904]

…well David speaks better English than we do Hausa. Thanks for the education, David !
