  1. You will always be a 3rd class citizen..if you know what that means …from fighting for the right document and renewal to e.t.c….e plenty..then you will realise why your four fathers keep saying. There's no PLACE LIKE HOME…you still have a long way to go so relax…

  2. The thing is, if after paying tax you see wat the tax is been used for then u wouldn’t mind paying, but wen u pay and it’s been embezzled then u will understand wat he is saying. Am presently on holiday in the uk and I can tell u for free that if I have or is given an opportunity to work and live here, take it from me dat I will dive at it. I just got here a day after the protest and I had to leave my house in the morning to catch a flight of midnight becos the govt of the day are not doing wat they are suppose to do so that I will not miss my flight becos of the blocking of the road, I had to leave my house very early in the morning. Last time I came to the uk shortly before Covid, I could shop with £1000 pound and still have enough change to take back home but guess wat even with £500 pounds I manage to travel with, I couldn’t buy much not becos things are expensive but becos the value of our money is gone. And it makes inflation a thing in Nigeria. As for those that like living in Nigeria becos of chaos, I pray they don’t see chaos dat will remove sleep from ur eyes for years then u will hunger for peace in your life. Am a new subscriber who just stumbled on ur channel by chance and I can say dat I like ur content. Keep doing a good work!!!🎉

  3. I am really enjoying your video. You have amazing stories and the quality of your video is excellent. I was married to an Nigerian and I have been to Lagos and Abuja. I love Nigeria. But I know I could not live there permanently. For some of the reasons you stated. The inconveniences is a little too much. My son just got back here to the US. And he was complaining of the problems he had trying to purchase land over there. Just to even open a bank account was crazy.

  4. Omg! You have the best channel that appeals to me on YouTube. I’m crying watching your video. How can you speak to my soul, my whole being. Bro, we should be friends because you are just like me. Everything you said is on point and we seem to be in the same shoes. Everywhere you showed in this video is where I’ve been to. I’ve always stayed in Canary wharf in all of my stays in London. I love London so much. If there’s a place I despise so much in the world is Lagos. From all the examples you gave – banana island, driving, knowing people. Lagos is a the biggest stressor in my life. It’s going to kill me if I don’t run. I’m making my move to relocate but I have a very big family so I need a lot of planning to do. I have an apartment in Abuja to de stress from the Lagos chaos. When people say they love Lagos, I look in amazement. I hate driving in Lagos, the grocery stores, the toxic people, the alcohol lifestyle. The touts, the crazy security and law enforcement officers. My bp is always up when I have to drive in Lagos. I love London mahn! I’ve been to the big cities in the US and nowhere cuts it besides London. My station was South quay and straight train to Lewisham to get the Naija food. Sometimes I have to go deptford high. Give me the money I need and I will never step a foot in Naija again. I’m only here because of my business. Enjoy your life there bro and God bless you in all your endeavors 😢

  5. Let see how you feel when winter arrives!! I come from the Caribbean and after 20 years in UK still winter hit me, when i am cold i would like to get on a plane and fly back home….but no 😅

  6. Hi Tayo, I totally get you, I came here when I was 19 in 1997, I haven't been back since then. I too, don't want to go back to live, but for holiday 🎉🎉 no problem. I feel our government doesn't care anymore, no developed roads, no adequate water supply and no constant supply of electricity. We have all the resources and yet the country is not adequately developed 😢 🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️.

  7. You made my day with sho ju dun iya ni Oju o sho na fun iya e ni . But bro after like about 5 to 6 years, you tell me if you can't still leave in Nigeria again. you have lived in Nigeria too long 😀😀😀😀😀😀🤣🤣

  8. My Boss please advice me, I have been able to build abit of success from nothing for myself but I confused things are not just working well for me, I am a digital marketer and WordPress Developer do you advice i try to come over to the UK, which VISA, and how much would it take.

    I am not educated but I own brands and have won some awards too from the Nigerian government and Google but things ar not just really working for me.

  9. True! You have to call somebody for something and before you know it, that somebody and everybody get to know your business.
    This aids performative niceness.

    No place is perfect but some places are MILES better than others.

  10. Enriching yourself to live expensive in a poor neighborhood you destroyed, is like someone starving to put on expensive clothes. I don't see an atom of wisdom in that,people who haven't lived in any western nation,won't understand how weird our supposed elites mentality are and how stressful the living condition is.

  11. I think you DID live in Nigeria for too long lmaooo no worry, after you live here a few years, you’ll have things to complain about as well 😂😂
