[@stormieblaze510]

I have travelled to 18 countries only and I totally agree with everything you’ve said. Start with the easy, less expensive places and build your experience. Learn to travel during off peak seasons - it costs so much less. Hotels and flights are more than half the price. Plan your trips early and buy tickets 4 to 6months in advance. You will get ridiculously cheaper rates as compared to buying them one month or 2 weeks in advance. Live within your means. Traveling to see the world is different from traveling to show off. The former is cheaper and has more value. Those are my tips. Thanks for these amazing videos Tayo. I hope I can start vlogging my trips soon.❤

The last part of the video shows the current reality of traveling with a Nigerian passport: denials and maltreatment. I started the traveling adventure since last year with a tour of Africa. Some of the things I learnt: / Travel with 2- and 3- pin electric adaptors. You will save money renting ones wherever you are / Security: check travel advisory for the country and read-up about where you travel to. / Learn some basic language of the target country. It helps integration. / Staying among locals vs staying in hotels. The former affords you direct contact and helps you learn more.

I feel bad for genuine tourists from countries such as Nigeria and India, as it's very hard for them to get visas due to extremely high rates of citizens from those countries breaching their visa conditions (working illegally on a tourist visa, overstaying etc). It was mentioned in this video, but the best way to get a visa if you have a difficult passport is definitely to build up a compliant travel history with countries that are a bit easier to travel to. Show that you have a history of being a genuine tourist and sticking to your visa conditions, and never lie at a visa interview.

We might try one meal to compare,lol. - research ,research & more research on places we want to visit. - we save money in advance. - we have a budget that we stick to. -"touristy" places are not always the best places to visit & they are often over priced,especially in peak season. -avoid going to places that are currently trending cos they are over crowded & over priced. And lastly our people (Africans) are generous ,helpful & a welcoming beautiful group of humans,we have been offered accommodation, food, tours,transport totally free. Been invited to weddings & parties (hello home cooked & free meals😂). Lastly when going into a country/city/town/village that's a different culture to yours,be open minded & never forget your humanity. Happy travels my African bros,sistas,cousins & friends.

Thanks for this video. I have learned a lot and I am ready to do some traveling. I am Jamaican living in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and i believe the Jamaican passport is also one of the hardest passports but when you travel to places and return home i think that really helps your chances of traveling to more places. The visa people see you love your country and want to return as sometimes they fear letting you into their country because of illegal immigration Japa (runwhey)...😂

[@jamdawgutube]

There is nothing wrong with the Jamaican passport. And Jamaicans don't have problems getting a visa if they can show they have a job and coming back after their trip abroad. Sometimes people have nothing in Jamaica going on for them and they end up getting the visa. I don't think your travel history (unless you've travelled to highly developed countries) has anything to do with it. You have to show, to the satisfaction of the consular officer, that you have enough ties to your home country and that you have the ability to pay for you trip. Even so, for some nationals, like Nigerians, even when they present everything, they usually get denied, unfortunately.

[@Iyanu_omogbadegun]

[@bimbo3136]

Wow, lovely and packed vlog. I enjoyed it! Its sad that you have experienced unpleasant travel challenges though. Perhaps this is because of profiling of Nigerian men? I'm Nigerian and female, and I've been to lovely countries in North, South, East and West Africa, my travelling has been very eye opening for me. I've also been to several countries in Europe and the Middle East, entering many countries multiple times. I've experienced delays but never due to being profiled or because I'm Nigerian its been mostly due to staff being overwhelmed with the crowd they have to deal with but never due to negative profiling or stereotyping. I've really enjoyed my green passport, I must say! I agree with you that going to African countries helps get access to other countries, so folks that want to experience international travel should start there. I'd recommend that if it is possible to lean on work opportunities or to get supporting documentation from your office, please take advantage. I'd say things that help are having all documentation on hand - especially vacccination documentation, information on accommodation, and being confident to speak on your purpose while in the country if asked by the border patrol officials. I once got held back in Nairobi because my Yellow Fever vaccination card did not have the expiration date for the vaccine. I had to wait almost an hour, and after a while, I was allowed to enter the country. I got back home and went to the MoH. The lady at the ofice said the vaccine is mostly administered once in a lifetime so any health official shouldn't ask, but they'd usually have a 10 year expiration on the card, who knows why I was stopped? But I was calm and cooperative with the officials. Being polite and waiting your turn also helps, dressing in a neat way, and toning down on what may be considered to be loud or aggressive behaviour is essential. This is especially true when travelling in groups as Nigerians tend to enjoy their own company, bantering, making jokes, and having a nice time, usually with raised voices. I'm not saying to pretend to be someone else, but considering that you need help, support or information from the official or individual in the host country, going with our Nigerian charm and grace makes it easier. We often tend to want things done quickly as Nigerians and may be perceived as forceful, aggressive, or brash. It comes with the territory, there are so many of us and sometimes we have to 'buga' to make things happen in Nigeria, but that is not the norm in most other countries I have visited so calming down is wise. Another tip is that with a valid UK or American visa that has been used before, Nigerians can get into a lot of North African countries with visas on arrival or evisa options. I've used this for visiting Egypt (visa on arrival) and Morrocco (evisa). My final contribution is on cheaper flights and accommodation. For flights, I'd recommend using the travel comparators so sites like Expedia, Sky Scanner, etc, they often give cheaper flights. Also, subscribe to alerts on price drops and sales. The only challenge is that these are usually during off-season, like May and November, and not a good time for families that have kids in school. I once got a trip to the UK for 3 people at a little less than 700k in 2019 on Emirates using the comparison websites. For accommodation (and visas) I've had friends write invitation letters on my behalf and offer me accommodation. Online renting services like Airbnb and booking.com give the option to really shop around and get affordable places, one time i travelled to Scotland and was looking for affordabke accommodation outside Edinburgh, I selected a small town and found that it had an underground aquarium and one of the UNESCO world heritage sites. Imagine that! My trip wasn't only focused on touring Edingurgh, but we had a really nice time in North Queensferry, which was also the ancestral hometown of Andrew Carnegie - the famous industrialist and philanthropist. We visited the museum dedicated to him. I now look for these travel attractions and try to visit other towns with local or cheaper transportation. For instance a visit to England doesn't have to be only to London, using the train or bus, the visit can be extended to Liverpool, Leads, York and Manchester as a nice exploration of Northern England or one could consider touring Bristol, Bath, Stonehenge, Oxford and Cambridge which have really lovely places to visit. There are also really affordable travel airlines in Europe and America including crossing from North America to Canada, and so long as you have a schengen visa you can tour as many countries as you can afford within the period of your visa validity. So I'd encourage people to utilise the public lockers for storing suitcases and hop on a cheap flight with just handluggage or a back pack. I did this and travelled from Denmark to Paris to have a swell time! Similarly Nigerians that have japa'd to Canada can take advantage to get an American Visa and travel extensively. I've written a lot! Whew!!!! I'd love the opportunity to explore Asia and South America! Safe travels in your journey around the world, maybe our travel itienaries would sync one day and I'd get the chance to meet you Tayo!

[@regiejohn15126]

Hey Tayo! It is refreshing to see a Nigerian having to travel the world for a living and seeing the world from your perspective. As a Filipino passport holder, I know the feeling of the constant paper work of getting visas (to western countries) and being second screened at the border, as Filipinos have a reputation of overstaying visas in order to look for work. Always build your travel history, adhere to its conditions and be law abiding. Travel to nearby countries and build it from there, then overtime apply for a visa to a country that is hard to get with. Everything is a pattern that something leads to another. Believe it or not, you are still representing the country of the passport that you hold - think of it as an impromptu ambassador - a minor thing would make a big difference. After living in Malaysia as a student, I can understand why Nigerians (or West Africans in general) have a reputation in the eyes of immigration. As much as I want a western passport or legally buying/donating/investing in one, I'd rather travel with the passport that I hold now. I like the challenge that it brings and some novelty that it brings (as a bragging right haha) There are other travellers on YT travelling with a weaker passport, if they can do it, then why not? (PS Did you know that since you hold a US visa, you can use it as a ''visa substitute'' to other 30+ visa required countries such as Canada, Mexico, Argentina etc. just to name a few)

Thanks you so much for sharing your perspective with us. I never Knew the Filipino Passport also Faces a lot of problems. We are very similar I guess. 😄

[@okekechukwuemeka2610]

I love your comment ❤

​@TayoAinaFilms I was trying to go to Jamaica but right now I have to go to Miami to get a passport. Trying to get a UK passport it hasn't been easy I found out that I was adopted and I thought I was born in the US. But I was adopted out of England I really need help I have been struggling

​@@TayoAinaFilmsI just saw this video how often do you travel to England? I like Birmingham

This is so informative and accurate. I'd definitely love to see more of this in the future. Thumbs up.

[@Tearoze]

I understand completely! So sorry you had to endure all that. You’ve done great with the hurdles you had to overcome. Travelling on a Jamaican passport has its own shares of challenges as well. Love your advice of living within your means. No point impressing people you don’t know.

I'm Zambian and i see we are number 11 with Tunisia. My daughter is South African so I'm glad she at the top 3 of the list and this gives her more future opportunities.

The red is where you need to get a visa before you can gain entry - not necessarily that you can not go there.

Exactly, most of them in red

I'm so glad to see this sincere content about traveling with a Nigerian Passport. I have been holding back on traveling to other countries but this just spures me to making concrete plans to leave my comfort zone and take a plunge. Will be visiting other countries every very soon and making content as I go along. Thanks brother T.

It's sad how we Africans treat each other. I understand the history behind it, but it's not right that people from outside Africa, sometimes from countries that colonized us, find it easier to move around here than we do. This isn't new; it's been a problem for a long time, and some African countries are even making it worse. We have to do better. Tayo, no matter what they say, this is your continent, and you're loved here. Sometimes, those closest to us can hurt us the most. But keep your head up and enjoy exploring your continent. From a fellow African 😊

[@comrade9374]

Africa is full of terrorism and militia groups so we can have them to just travel around freely

[@dazedconfuseds]

that's why it's important the government parties work together. Think EU, the ECOWAS needs to be adopted by more African countries

[@gedenironald8635]

Fix Nigeria first and stop blaming us Africans fro the mess you and the politicians you elect cause. Nigeria is simply one country almost all African countries outside of West Africa are not interested in having their citizens.

Thank you tayo for this video, the profiling of Nigerians in diaspora is alarming. Luckily you have a platform to share your experience, for those of us without we go through a lot for something that other people do with ease. There are bad and good people everywhere.

[@chukaoham8137]

How do you prepare. Eg packing , what clothes , heavy or light packing?.eg If you go to Nairobi from West Africa between April and August you will be shocked at the cold weather . How do you set up communication ? What do you read to prepare for the country.? How do you access cheaper accomodations that are not on Google maps? etc

[@anthonyagbor1690]

I have traveled to 24 countries, including leaving and working in Germany for 6 years. I went to Italy, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Australia, Turkey, and many other African countries, including South Africa. When I applied for the US visa in January of 2023, I was asked if I had ever traveled out of Cameroon, I said yes and gave the visa officer my passport. She flipped the passport back and forth and asked me why I traveled so much. I told her I'm a researcher, so I traveled to different countries for work. She looked at me and said, "Sorry, we can not give you a visa at this time. I guess the moral of the story is that, when it comes to a US visa, it's all boiled down to LUCK!!

[@hikedeco9749]

The problem is,the USA still uses face to face interviews,whether they admit or or not,it still rides on biases and opinions,I guarantee if your application was strictly document processing with talking ,90%,you would've gotten it.I'm Cameroonian too,etasien Dem fo dier mind,na heaven🤣🤣🤣,but na small heaven

[@jamdawgutube]

You should not have have said that you travel for work. She probably thought you were coming to the US to work on your visitor visa

It's so hard to apply with the green passport. I hope our image as a people improves,also I hope the bad eggs would stop labeling us all.

[@asanwa3126]

It's never going to stop till Nigerians stop washing their dirty linens in public. People won't respect Nigerians till we learn how to respect ourselves. I have seen worse behaviour from other countries citizens but you won't see their bloggers on social media trashing their country's image. Nigerians are REALLY CARRYING LAST.

[@I.AM.R3N3]

Another informative and interesting video as always.. Thank you Tayo !! When travelling make sure you have enough money, if possible more than enough. You can never have too much. *Not a travel tip* but i think most people also need to understand that travelling should always be done for a genuine purpose. You can travel as a tourist, travel for school, work e.t.c but don't travel because you have an ulterior motive. Lastly, for a lot of people travelling to another country is a luxury, don't feel pressure or feel like you're missing out. When the time is right, you'll also travel (comfortably and conveniently).
