Why Is Everyone AFRAID of Nigeria? (Shocking Answers from Ivory Coast)

[@TantiLou]

Thanks for sharing, 😂😂 this made me laughed so hard. Funny!😂😂😂 you would have had the same answer if you asked them about Benin Rep. Ivorians are scared of juju😅! But we know more about Benin because they speak french, so we are less scared. Unfortunately, Nigeria being an english speaking country, it's difficult to learn more about them. Meanwhile, we keep on consuming naija movies as more and more are translated in french. Cheers!

There is a song! Everyone said that movie terrorized them while growing up 😂😂😂😂! What is fav nollywood films? Recommend one

Thanks my brother! You inspired me alot

[@jayjaykolo2697]

im surprised your talking off 'too much nollywood movies' when this is a reality that needs to be dealt with by you Nigerians and put an end to the suffering of your own citizens and restore the good name of your wonderful nation, grow up my guy!

[@rpvofficiel2184]

i'm ivorians this made me laugh 😂😂because its true ,peoples in my country that not on social media only know nigeria by nolywood movies . nigerians movies are very popular in my country and west africa generally . but dont be fouled by these 3 interviewed peoples . the majority of us know very well that nigeria is the biggest ecnonomy in west africa and has many billionaires . we study nigeria history like "biafra war" in history at middleschool (AFROBEAT ) is also very popular in ivory coast .

[@jayjaykolo2697]

im ivorian and baffled to see nigerians on here still somewhat being arrogant in their opinion on the matter , and worst you guys fail to adkowledge what your fellow Nigerians said about Nigeria in this video. both the leaders and the citizen like a good numbers of you guys in this comment section are responsible for the bad name of your nation, thus both at home and abroad , FIX IT !

I agree with you. I'm glad you said that.

It’s true.

It makes me laugh oo😂🇨🇮❤️🇳🇬

[@bricekouadio7423]

Let’s not hide our faces, Nigeria is a very dangerous country from a security point of view (kidnapping of human beings during the day and at night, human sacrifices to enrich themselves, etc.). I have never felt so unsafe in a country despite being in Lekki. So it makes sense that some people are afraid of this very beautiful country with a diverse and very rich culture.

[@PharoukDamilola]

Uhmmm

[@oluayo14truth]

You lie. I was in Nigeria a year ago from Germany. Lagos to be precise, I also visited Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo state. People like you are the ones denting Nigerian image outside there

[@kadydao-bai7344]

Ivorian here and have been to Lagos, so many similarities with Abidjan....Now, onto the crux of this video; first, you only interviewed a few people. Also, there is a lack of socioeconomic diversity (which, let's be honest, can correlate with exposure and knowledge outside of, say, Nollywood Movies). This lowkey, but high key, paints Ivorians as ignorant when the sample is not representative nor diverse enough to give a fair view of what Nigeria's image is in Ivory Coast. And by the sheer number of Nigerians present in IC, Ivorians are most likely more exposed to Nigerian culture than we realize or eloquently communicate. There should have been a disclaimer, Abidjan has people of all backgrounds and with different levels of understanding and like what someone else mentioned in the comments, Ivorian curriculum schools study some Nigerian history.

[@PharoukDamilola]

You are right!! The goal is actually to let Nigerians aware of the impact of Nollywood… Ivorians love Nigeria and they are so hospitable.

[@kadydao-bai7344]

Thanks for encouraging healthy debates..... but I have to pick a bone with your response, you didn't really preface the video as that. If you had mentioned, "My Naija bros Nollywood has us looking crazy out there" it would have been perfect. + some of the responders are from Benin.... This was a clickbait and you got us. Semantics matter, surtout quand we are building bridges and telling our own "African stories", we have to hold ourselves to higher standards. We cant talk about Nigeria's supposed bad PR, and produce bad PR for 30millions people :-/ ps: The video quality is great.

[@Adam-u4z6h]

Pharouk stp je me rend à lagos dans quelques jours et comme je sais que tu t'y connais en la matière j'aimerais avoir des conseils de toi STP !

[@PharoukDamilola]

qu'aimerais-tu savoir mon frère ? demande-moi tout ce que tu veux savoir

[@ibrahimsalami4014]

I enjoyed your positive outlook. However, most of the Ivorian comments show a level of ignorance. American movies show aliens kidnapping people, poltergeist etc. Does this mean that is the order of the day in the US. Movies are mainly for entertainment and they are not meant to be seen as documentaries.

[@PharoukDamilola]

Thanks so much for your viewpoint..Exactly

[@samuelomos1234]

Even the Horror movies.

[@ribaker822]

Is there Netflix in Ivory Coast? Those ritual movies are like ancient movies, what are they watching? Also, the people interviewed are a bunch of folk on the same street. Why not interview people from different parts of the city? What about the universities, business districts etc?

[@PharoukDamilola]

Yeah you right! Ivorian love Nigerian but trust me! The goal is to bring this thing to people notice! They have Netflix and do watch other movies too but our ancient movies traumatized them

[@ribaker822]

@@PharoukDamilola they need to get over their trauma. Even we have moved on from that. They should go watch Wedding Party first and relax. Thanks for your response.

[@PharoukDamilola]

@ribaker822 yess! Netflix and Prime! We have lot of new Nigerians movies.. 🥰you are highly welcome

[@themark7948]

It seems that only the Nigerian-Ivorians know what the real issues are in Nigerians. I find it surprising to hear that there's not much of a class distinction in Ivory Coast as we have in Nigeria. I thought it was an all African thing I wonder if that has anything to do with what I've learnt that it's a France controlled country. If so, that will leave the French at the top. Maybe it has to do with 40% or so of Ivorians not being originally from that country, so the society has shaped differently. The Ivorian responses were quite ignorant I must say.

[@PharoukDamilola]

Brilliant! I love your viewpoint! But do you think Nollywood should produce more videos that mirroring the society in terms of fraud, ritual and all?

[@themark7948]

@@PharoukDamilola I think Nollywood has long since diversified. I haven't personally seen any ritual movie in years. I'm actually starting to see nice action movies with good choreography. Let me ask you a question. While I agree on making movies with diverse storylines, do you blame the producer of a movie for making it or the consumer for being ignorant? Hollywood shows a lot of violence, including gun violence, but many of these people would still visit America. My question is why the double standard for your fellow African?

[@PharoukDamilola]

@themark7948 wow! Such a brilliant question 😂😂😂! They actually do videos of them worshipping gods and all! I think you have a valid point 😂
