You are right,. she's more than brave. Those routes she followed are simply teeming with bandits and robbers. She could easily be taken hostage and a huge ransom demanded before she is released. As a woman, one of the bandit leaders could even decide to turn her into a bride. He would take her deep into the forest where she can't be traced. By the time she gets her freedom, she could be the mother of several brats. As she traverses to the Cameroon border, it's not bandits she could encounter but islamic terrorist groups like boko haram. When they take her hostage, it is curtains and babies. Personally, I'll suggest she cut short her Nigerian and African adventures. It's nice viewing for us but simply too risky for a white woman.

I have done videos on skiing for 20 years and with a camera Canon L1 with an external battery, and a backpack, it weighed 20 pounds, I wore a backpack backward with the battery on the back of my neck and now you have all of that on your Helmut and more battery in pock your little cameras of today and digital editing, digital hard drive so small. I am so amazed at what you create with those tools of today. I am so amazed that a whole editing suite fits in a little laptop and you are crashing through all this mud, rock, and holes and some crashes, and at the end of the day you put this story together and the music matches the mood. You have opened my eyes of 80 years and my viewpoint has softened on so many fronts as to what the world really looks like, we are so lucky to have you telling your stories and making the whole world fall in love with you. Thank so you very much for your very hard work. I know a little about how much time takes. It takes 4 hours for 5 minutes on Facebook for a ski club for me, [I'm sure your much faster] and they downsize the file so much, it looks so poor it feels like I when back to tape of old.

I crossed the Niger on a near empty Nigerian Airway 727 that lacked cabin pressure, so we flew real low. I sat with the son of an Oba (King) smoking joints. It cost $10, and I didn't get muddy.

[@ballisticsgel2602]

I'm a Nigerian and I just stumbled upon your video and i subbed immediately..i fell in love with just your sheer audacity that i can never have😂 ,love to see it❤

[@jasonzerbini2375]

By the way congratulations on the Arai helmet auction that ended today. $8156USD. Two Wheels for Life benefit (to help get aid to isolated Africans). So awesome to do that....and some fortunate person gets the helmet! What a treasure. Peace! ❤❤❤

Noraly delivering seminars for keeping composure in difficult sitations. Thank you for being awesome.

[@victoribekwe3663]

This is epic Noraly. Navigating these roads takes courage. What an amazing job. Hats off and be safe.

[@sstionescu]

Absolutely insane adventure. Keep safe Noraly!

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

You are so generous Noraly. I give thanks for everyone that joined the ferry ride across with you.

[@kkja0]

Nigeria reminds me of Indian villages in the rainy season. Guys going crazy with TVS, Bajaj motorcycles make it even better 🤩

I love your adventures! Wishing you safe and happy travels.

[@dr0elf]

If one imagines that this country should be one of the richest ones in the world due to its resources... Unbelievable.

[@leonardothefabulous3490]

That's why there's a difference between "imagination" and "reality."..look at who runs it.

[@agb3762]

@dr0elf, that's true. However, one thing you should know is that all of her travel routes in Nigeria have been through very rural areas & not one city yet so you'd expect to see rural sceneries.

[@christiangideon7966]

She's avoiding the cities due to traffic as a Nigerian I don't even know some of these places

[@damytzeus]

you judge with the eyes of a westerner and you see very little of nigeria. and yes, nigeria could be much much more than it is. corruption kills nigeria. and for many other reasons, it's a pretty wonderful place

[@damytzeus]

also, this not the normal path to travel. she's intentionally avoiding the main highways, which are wide and paved. how do you think tractor trailers cross the niger river? she's not showing you typical nigeria. very few nigerians would ever travel these roads. nigeria is also full luxury cars. how do you think they travel from lagos to abuja. this route gets more views. search youtube for other videos of nigeria

[@derekmiles767]

I've never heard of this route to Abuja; the most common route from the South is through Lokoja, and there's a large bridge there, and after the bridge, it's like 150-200km to Abuja... There's also a longer 2nd route from the South that cuts a bit to the East through Onitsha, but then you still have a large bridge there in the Onitsha bridge... Never heard of a route coming from the South to Abuja, were you have to cross the river using a ferry.

[@blademanx]

Lol doesn't get views though 😂

[@mimisworld8675]

I was also wondering how can the GPS lead her down there. Ferry to Abuja. It’s too stressful for her.

[@FADEDNATHANTV]

I've never seen someone enjoy his/her videos as you do!! I mean you just laugh and laugh at anything no matter the situation 😅 I just love this content

[@JB-ie8wk]

HEY NORALY! You have such a great sense of humor and incredible tenacity. Very excited to watching you traverse this incredible country.

[@luciawepener]

Beautiful scenery 👌 Your ability to find humor in difficult situations and turns it into a lighthearted moment. ❤ Ride safe Noraly. 🤗

[@Ken-lp5zv]

I am new to your channel. So inspired by your travels. I do worry about your safety, not just by people with ill intentions, but in case you injure yourself on the bike in the middle of nowhere. I also ride and look forward to catching up on all of your emails. Keep up the travels for us lowly senior citizens who cannot experience what you are so blessed with seeing and SHARING with us.

[@Dede-et3wd]

You are one brave lady travelling on your own around different countries 🙌🏻I take my hat off to you

[@kumarannamalai680]

This Nigerian journey still gives me jitters . Just hope you go past Nigeria fast . Be safe and happy riding Noraly.

[@elani6507]

I sadly agree with you as a Nigerian. I was worried sick about her. I won’t be as brave as her!

[@giftforlife7441]

​@@elani6507 Worried about what? If she follows the major road there will be nothing to worry about

[@sonofwealth625]

​@@giftforlife7441don't mind them. They @are worried over what exactly? Their ears are just itchy for bad news. Crazy

[@gabbykeys1399]

worry about your self..nothing is happenimg in nigeria

[@joslims]

Lovely, your boldness is commendable. We (Nigerians) are a mix of good people and opportunists. Ride safe and use the main roads as much as possible. Enjoying your vlogs.

[@deja2]

I fear when I see her on those roads and wonder why she chooses to: 1. For her safety because locals are naturally lovely people, warmer than city folks, but the vast spaces also make crime easy. and 2. For the image. Many people would be seeing these videos for the first time and this is the image of Nigeria they'd have. She's simply inspiring!

[@la12m43]

Your story and videos show us so many different places and kind people everywhere so ur doing great young lady and glad someone still out there going everywhere telling the whole world it’s a safe place and nice people out there still 🙌🏼🙌🏼👋🏼well done

[@DriedMoss]

Such a wonderful journey to join you on. Thanks for taking us with you. An experience I may not get the chance to do myself, but so many other ones to try. I hope you the very best each every trip!

[@kadimosenye8830]

Her first Nigeria episode was talked about on Arise television and the corrupt police man has been arrested for asking for bribe

[@bakerbill4274]

He was arrested for being stupid. The rest know not to do it on camera.

[@neilurquhart8622]

Hope he gets charged and dealt with robustly…….but if money changes hands my guess is that he’ll get off!

[@emecee7889]

​@@muhilan8540he did but not so bad

[@ROTV-DanLockhart]

I'll bet you didn't know you were going to pay for everybody on that ferry. You really stood up to guy who was trying to rip you off. You're bulls*** detector went off immediately. My favorite scene was the guys riding four up in all their colorful clothes. Well done, Noraly! Thanks for this video!

[@oidadesgibtsned]

yea, that bullshit-detector went off like crazy there.

[@afvet5075]

Thank you, United States, for inventing and improving GPS for civilians. I'm am sure other countries appreciate it. Otherwise, we would still be using road maps where available and getting lost. What a great country. Great video, young lady.

[@ayor_tee12]

This takes a lot of bravery! You inspire me Noraly!

[@zweispurmopped]

15000 Naira is almost 18 Euros according to my preferred currency converter! What a rip-off! 🤨 Even the ferry across river Rhine at Bonn in _expensive_ Germany only costs €2.60 or so! 😵‍💫 Even the corrupt police officer wasn't nearly as bad as that ferryman there! 🧐 Anyway, kudos to the daily rally riders in Nigeria! 🤗🤭 Give them powerful enduros, and they'll make the Dakar riders blush! 🥳🤩 The cliffhanger suggests this day ended up being hard work, but the episode was another urgently needed fix for this here Itchyholic, and it was GREAT! Thanksy! 😍🤗

[@DollarPreneur]

No, like 15k in naira to 18 euro 💶 you mean. Around 1000 naira is a dollar which close range in value to euro too. Not 150,000 but 15000

[@zweispurmopped]

@@DollarPreneur **Patch!!1!** 🤦‍♂🤭🤫 Typo… 🥴🥴 You're right, fixed that.🤗

[@Tech316Ent]

It's called haggling!! You are expected to negotiate!!!

[@christip20]

Just as I was thinking about what a great place this would be to ride horses through, all those cattle came up! They looked like Texas Longhorns! It also dawned on me that part of the reasons you’re so successful is that you can “get out fast” and you’re basically in Disguise. Or they’re so busy admiring your Bike that they assume you’re a “Rich Man” . It’s fun to watch the faces of the native men when you flip up your shield or take off your helmet, they’re amazed…..

Que buen y bonito cruce del Niger, unos caminos auténticos y con barro!! Gracias por el video! Saludos desde Sevilla, España.

I have watched a few of your videos. Your Courage, Bravery and easy grasp of local languages is on a way more high notes. I won't even try a quarter of this. You have shown me unique parts of this country that I won't even imagine going to. All the best Noraly.
