I’m trying to get OUT of Nigeria 🇳🇬[S7-E65]

In this video, I am riding from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria to the border with Cameroon. It's well over 800 kilometers, so I take two days to do it. Along the way, I pass over 50 checkpoints - mostly with tree trunks on the road, and often with armed guys without official uniform. I try to make my way quickly through Nigeria, because of the security situation. Once I reach the highlands, I get to see a completely different side of Nigeria, and it's like I entered a different world..

[@petecartwright5211]

I've followed Noraly for most of these adventures and it's easy to miss how far she travels every day. She's on that bike ALL day, in all conditions. I was also concerned seeing roadblock after roadblock, but she maneuvered passed them all with ease. Noraly is one of those people who just exude nice. People immediately pick up on that, no matter the country, and she is welcomed by them. As an American, I shake my head wondering why this isn't being broadcast on television. Those folks are missing a solid gold hit and a potential viewership that would top millions. Every episode. Our Noraly is global, too. She's liked by every culture she encounters. I'll say it again...someone is going to figure that out soon...

I think she would call a producer unessary baggage. It's the ability to travel incognito , that I think is the safer way for her to travel.

Great comment. I don't think any media company would require one. All of her episodes are filmed, viewed and edited by her. Same with the drone shots. (my fav) I would think a media co. would recognize some internal edit process, but her work is virtually television ready. I agree with you. A "producer" would be a detriment to the quality and wouldn't be necessary with her.@@gjohnston6052

[@jasonzerbini2375]

People that don't ride in less than favorable environments cannot imagine what its like riding all day without proper facilities. We see just over 20 minutes and viewers feel tired just watching her do that. She has to go through so many challenges in these countries we'll never see. It boggles my mind when I think about the physical and mental toughness required. I call her the real Wonder Woman. As far as being broadcast on TV I will speculate she doesn't want it to be. Only way maybe if she owned the TV network. With TV comes advertisers and advertisers often dictate content and then control is lost. Money grabbing starts down an ugly path. Noraly is independent and she stays in complete control of her content and image. But she is very intelligent so maybe someday after her world riding, filming, editing, creating, uploading videos is done she will figure out a way to get her content to the masses. To me what is most valuable (aside from the amazing geography and culture teachings) is how she teaches us to live and treat other people. Peace!

As things became difficult to stay in the small space, I was able to just imagine my favorite KZbin adventurers traveling in an open world.

It helped me so much and I was able to get through the procedure thinking of all the freedom of traveling under an open sky. Thank you for taking us along so many journeys.
