As a Yoruba-speaking Nigerian, I would like to quickly address the little communication gap that led to the Gary phenomenon, since it seems to be taking on a life of it's own. The catfish seller in the market didn't forget Nick's name and call him Gary. No! She said, "Let me take your picture, jare." Jare, ( which sounded like Gary) in Yoruba, the language of Southwest Nigeria, where Lagos is located, means 'Please' or 'If you please.' So she simply said, "Let me take your picture, please." Nigerians have a habit of injecting words from their local languages or dialects into their sentences when they speak English in informal situations. In the same way, when they speak their local languages, they inject English words into their sentences. So that's what happened. She said, "Let me take your picture, jare." ("Let me take your picture, please"). She didn't call him Gary! So, don't worry Nick. Your 'girlfriend' didn't forget your name!

People tend to not stop someone recording and who is walking quickly also. I love his ability to feel out situations, smile and know whom to talk to…and just as importantly, when to keep walking and keep your head down. It’s a skill that can’t be taught-you only learn through experience. Feeling out danger is an instinct-as is knowing when to approach friendly faces with questions. Great stuff, Nick.

The world gives Nigeria many negative names but I felt absolutely safe while I was there. I encountered situations where people wanted more money out of me because I'm a foreigner but that still didn't change my view of the country. So if you've ever thought of visiting Nigeria, don't let the world turn u away with horrifying stereotypes or stories! Take a chance because everyone is not the same and the experience is absolutely beautiful.

These only deceive the people with nonsense, religious illusions making them have too many children and be lazy.

It took three hours to get a tourist visa as an American here in Houston, TX. Did need to provide a copy of my bank statement, hotel bookings, $280 fee and passport. Photos taken in the office there and they sent everything via FedEx. Got everything back in 10 days without any expediting. There are only five places you can go in person in the states to get a Nigerian visa. Thankfully I live in Houston. I spent a few days in Lagos and Lekki then flew to Ivory Coast and drove back through Ghana, Togo, Benin back to Nigeria. The experience was good. Saw a bit of everything.

Hello i am from Nigeria and i want to recommend some places in nigeria to go so if you want a less populated city that is exactly like lagos go to abuja then if you want a place like lagos but in the north I recommend kano then if you want a calm city in the north go to gombe. And next time that man asks you why u are going to nigeria tell him its non of his business or because its a nice country and its very safe❤

I go to school with a ton of Nigerians and other people from West Africa, and it's really cool to see how engaged they are in academia; I recall reading a statistic that Nigerian-Americans are the most educated group of people in my country, up there with Egyptians. It really demonstrates how a country's best and brightest will often leave to seek better opportunity, and support those behind via remittances. Every Nigerian I've ever met is wonderful, intelligent, and friendly; I believe in a better future for their country.

Not if their best and brightest keep leaving. Even Europe is experiencing a brain drain flowing to the US and Canada. If it affects Europe I can only imagine how it’d affect a country like this

As a Nigerian that has widely travelled around the world but currently lives in Lagos, i think the only issue that is unbearable in Lagos is the traffic. But if you are a business person, you have to work round the rush hour and you'll be fine.

Having been deployed in a combat role in Northern Africa and seen the civil wars and some of the awfulness of Africa firsthand, I just loved the vibe of Lagos, in your video! People in Africa were so genuine, friendly, generous and kind, it was heartbreaking to us to see good people suffering because of war. I would love to go back with no gun and really try to understand the paradox that is Africa.

Lagos is just a tiny part of Nigeria, there is a whole lot about Nigeria beyond Lagos you can experience when you visit other areas of the country. Enjoyed the Documentary.

The local guide is quite lovely and honest, looking forward to seeing your next video of Nigeria. Keep safe.

I lived there 1992-1995, and it was not so lovely back then. Drivers coming back with bullets in their back and stolen car, frequent road blocks (i.e. just give 50 naira or something and move on), we always needed armed escort to go the airport. That stretch alone was brutal, military and police were regularly stealing cars using their guns. To change money we had to go to the casino, because banks wouldn't give more than 20nairs / $ . At the casino you got 4x that amount, from shady guys around there. It was also not too uncommon to notice some burnt tyres on the beach... if you want to imagine the content in the tyres go ahead. Then there was that market a bit out of town, if your container got stolen.... you know 100% you find your stuff there. and you have to buy it back. Pretty much all fancy cars at dealerships were stolen cars, and it was clear because they would never allow any sort of picture. Not like any normal person would need a lamborghini on a lagos street. Then the cocos bar lol, basically a legalized brothel. Well I hope it got better after I left, because it was quite unsafe back then. I was previously in sierra leone for 5 years, and the difference was quite marked. Lagos was way more brutal than Freetown, pre-war. I was small so those were my formative years i guess.
