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!

Mohamed "the tour guy" is really a great guy, very patient and always able to assist. I pray things work out well for him.

To be honest, travel vlogs like these are even better than drama series or movies. You get to see the real world and kinda experience it from a different perspective

i actually saw him making this video a few meters away from me that day and never knew he has a huge following on YouTube would have loved to be in the video. love from Oshodi Lagos Nigeria

I have been watching your content for some time and I'm glad you finally came to my Country. I love the direction you took with this video showcasing the real-life of Lagos and also the fact that most of what they say about Nigeria in the Media is not true. Most of Nigeria is Safe, only some states have security issues.

I know you probably left by now but hope you also had a look at the Upscale parts of Lagos. Looking forward to more videos. 😊

First video and i love Nigeria already, so much life, the people's smiles are beautiful and they are kind and have warm hearts.
Peace from Brazil for my Nigerian brothers !

Almost everyone in Nigeria wants to leave in search of greener pastures abroad but here I am staying in Nigeria, trying to make the best out of it. I welcome everyone who wants to visit. No Country is perfect! same as Nigeria 💕, Proudly Nigerian!!!!

It amazes me that these people are so upbeat whilst surrounded by grinding poverty, they are all heroes in my heart. Viva Nigeria.

I lived in Abuja the last 2 years with 2 trips to Lagos. The people are really nice, but traffic in Lagos is HELL.

As a South African who discovered this channel years ago following your trip to Johannesburg, I've always admired just how respectful and empathetic you are towards other peoples and their cultures and customs, no matter where it is you travel to. Huge respect, Nick <3

[CanCan]

People are seen so kind and they are always smiling despite of strong circumstances. I wish prosperity and happiness for Nigerian people.

[syedkhundmir]

Mohammad is so graceful and cheerful and he presented Nigeria in the best possible way.

"My boyfren" 😄
You went to the heart of Lagos!
Insecurity is blown out of proportion in the media. Looking forward to your trip to other parts of the country.

As an Indonesian, it amazes me how much popular the Indomie (our no.1 beloved instant noodle) is in Nigeria. I think both Indonesia and Nigeria have a lot in common (diverse ethnicities, huge population, and government mismanagement)

That being said, I'd love to visit West Africa one day, Nigeria in particular. Big up the Nigerians!

Nick's tour guide can really make me wanna come visit Nigeria ... that guy is a true Nigerian Ambassador to the world 🌎 🤗

My boss was from Nigeria. He came to the US many years ago. Had about 4 kids who literally all became doctors. One of the most smart, and sincere man I have ever met. He taught me so many skills while working for him. The Nigerian people are beautiful, fierce, and deserve much more then this.

Nick had the tricks of the trade down pat-as a fellow world traveller (but only amateur vlogger) I’ve learned that, in some situations, you keep walking and keep talking into the camera. 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.
