"They will kill you fast in Niger" |S7-E53|

In this video, I cross the border into Ghana. My original plan was to ride to the north of Ivory Coast first, so I could still explore a little of the country. However, violence is spreading from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and the north of Ivory Coast is therefore not safe any longer either. So I figured it was better to cross the border into Ghana, and visit a small stilt village on a lake, called Nzulezo.

You are an amazing person. I'm Nigerian, and watching I kept praying your tour of Africa goes well and no attack to you and/possessions. You are very brave indeed. I don't think I could do what you've done even as an African. There's true humanity about you. The fear of evil takes away our opportunity to explore and enjoy life experiences, and that's what you continue to prove. This episode blew me away, especially when you went to the village, and then you carried that little girl with so much love and sense of care. I think this planet will be the most amazing place for all if humans have your kind of mindset. Keep it up and all the very best. Subscribed and following👍🏽.

[@geobun2734]

Yes but the dangers are still too great to do this kind of stuff she has to be prepared and by prepared I mean prepared to defend herself, she looks well prepared for travel but I don’t see any preparation for battle only the internet and that am afraid will not save her you don’t go into a gun fight with knives or even worse pepper spray a motorcycle and a camera that’s just being too naïve to be brave is good but to wise is even greater. I lived in those areas for many years you come out looking too fancy plus you look different you already a prey it’s just a matter of when and with no friends within these grounds you just like a cricket meaning she will not last seriously

It will take a month of Sundays but now go back and watch the other seasons. when I saw her going through Iran by herself I was in disbelief, but once again everyone she encountered was friendly and helpful. She is very intelligent, far more than many can imagine.

[@geobun2734]

@@jasonzerbini2375 am definitely going to have a look at other episodes, when I see her I don’t think it’s intelligence that’s getting her through I think it’s more like courage, which is fine by me but even being courageous has it’s limits it’s better to wise than courageous and wisdom acted upon will land you far safely in the end than any courage…. So looks vulnerable, intelligent maybe that’s one way to look at it am not saying she’s not, but I have seen these stuff happening before when that times run out something happens and it’s over like a flash, all her viewers will all pour their sympathy and move on the next day… I have lived in Africa for a long long time, it’s not luck that get you by , it’s a mixture of all Aka wisdom, same goes for all the dangerous places on earth. To me when I look at her she looks very vulnerable, very we throw all praises on how smart she and all that’s all good but time has it’s on way of throwing it’s verdict. I know it looks like she’s bringing the world with her because she’s filming but that’s just a misconception one I bet she rely as a side comfort , but it takes two seconds to take that comfort back to reality, the minute that camera is kicked off the world is gone, seen it before many times. She’s courageous no doubt but as I said earlier wisdom is far better, want to go to war? Don’t go without your weapons because you suddenly feel courageous, courage never lasts it comes and goes, but if you can carry your Armor in any battle you will be ready for a fight…

I don't know how you feel about it, but I think this is the most interesting journey of all those you've made. I'm learning so much about life in West Africa. Can't believe how charming the people are compared to the political/military strife we're bombarded with on the World Service or on TV. Your bike sounds much happier: along with the new clutch the temperature sensor has obviously got the motor back in its sweet spot.

This is the episode that started it all. 9 months ago KZbin gave me the best recommendation ever. I watched this episode and went all the way to the beginning and hypnotically watched every episode until I finally got back to this one. If someone told me that, I would call them crazy. I know what happened at the end of the Africa season, so I still have some episodes before that, but what after that? Start all over again! Wishing you a speedy recovery, Noraly! :)

My first trip to Africa was to a small rural town in Kenya in 1989. I took a Polaroid camera with me and took photos of the kids seeing their photo develop right in front of their eyes. I can only imagine how amazing it would be for the villagers to see their village from your drone footage.

ron7447.... Alaska was only patched. The engine is not long for this world. When they changed the clutch plate, many mistakes were made. Unless the engine was completely taken apart as was done before, and meticulously inspected...much clutch debris still remains and with every stroke of the piston, with every rotation of the crankshaft, irrefutable wear and harm are extracting their toll. Overheated & abused many times by a neophyte for sure. Got to be the luckiest person ever that the machine has lasted as long as it has. Shows Honda makes a reliable machine.
