@@Doorknobz I would say a realist. It's just not safe to ride there with few tens of thousands in equipment. Nobody minds the people living in Nigeria. It's simple - corruption leads to high crime rates.
I lived and worked in a small town in Nigeria from 1979-81, and rode a motorcycle to get around and also travel around the country. "What did you bring me?" is like a common greeting. I asked my Nigerian friends how to answer it, and they said to laugh it off as Noraly did, or respond with a joke, or say "Next time." Everyone who goes from point A to point B gets asked that, not just white women! And obviously people can't be carrying around gifts for every single person they meet, especially on a motorcycle. Nigerian culture is very "in your face" and extroverted compared to other countries in West Africa, which I also visited. I had to get used to it, but it was a relief to return to my introverted side when I left.
@@brentgordon404I think he wanted money but he didn't get too aggressive or anything. I guess ItchyBoots had more experience than most of us so she didn't feel compelled to give him money. If I were in Nigeria tomorrow, and police officers with guns asked me to give them money...I'd probably feel I had to give them some money.
That's because you are in a haste to believe the image of a whole 20oMillion person's plus from the conduct of 1 person. Your statistics brain 🧠 is 100% on point . I guess
I love the way Noraly handled herself, what a champ. The man only let her go because he was told my the other smaller officer, that another officer in the parked car said they should let her go. These guys are a disgrace.
After watching this video, I am really really starting to see Nigerians and African people with a new lens. I really respect their calm, happy and positive nature. Love such people. Nigerians are so humble and fun and amazing.
The two officers were publicly stripped of their uniform and dismissed from their duties because of this video.I admire your ability to ignore the monumental risk and live the adventure. I wish I had the same courage.
If I were this woman, I would never return to Nederlands. The two guys are waiting for her... If they cannot be police man, they are going to be criminals.
You are amazing and super brave…..people in general are great, but another video when so many were circling your bike I was soo nervous. You deal with life very well..staying calm….under stressful road conditions and sketchy people. You are gravely admired by me and my husband. Be safe 🇨🇦👍💕
@@dancCONSTANTno, no they weren't. No officer at a checkpoint would ever be so stupid to joke about a bribe on camera. The court deemed that they were trying to get a bribe from her. You saying that the judges and the top brass in the police are misunderstanding?
In ratio to the lots of Nigerian policemen she met on her journey within the context of that video, how many policemen fit into your statement "our police"?.
@@NorthRock I believe you & it all seems like an accident waiting to happen.There have been may pitfalls.I really believe Nora the Explora has guardian angles somewhere....if thats a thing.... but her riding from S1 E1 has scared & enthralled me from the start.I cant help but keep watching & many times expected the worst but here we are.She made a movie in the end....Soooo? i keep watching lol but i sympathize with you.
Noraly your determination to ride in lands that are challenged by poor governance is incredible. Your videos show good honest locals just trying to live lives while putting up with poor roads & never ending road blocks. Your videos show how people endure & overcome their circumstances. Stay safe.
Armed men stopping you at impromptu checkpoints every 5 minutes, checking you out, looking at your equipment, you nervously laugh and carry on if they let you. Living life one checkpoint at a time, looks like fun!
There are good cops and bad ones in this video alone. When that cop asked “are you enjoying my country” that shows me he cares about the image and safety of people who visits his country
@@ДенисЯкунин-м2чДенис Якунин есть видео через месяц эти двое полицейских которые вроде бы требуют у Нурали деньги за проезд, уже стоят в Нигерийском суде где их приговоривают к увольнению из полиции и прямо в зале суда снимают с них полицейские мундиры рубашки.😂😊😅
You are brave for this. As a Nigerian American , I went to Nigeria this summer. I traveled from Lagos to Ilorin by car and the amount of corrupt police officers that we had to bribe was unbelievable. The road conditions are also really bad and driving is really rough and dangerous as only locals can really drive in nigeria so you’re really brave for this.
I'm a Cameroonian. I love riding like this, discovering places, amazing people(not scary corrupt officers),and bringing joy.This is what I want to do. You are truly brave
Not glad you avoided Lagos and Ibadan together.. Pretty glad you were safe.. As usual, you always show us more than any countries want outsiders to see. Love your channel.
Omo I respect you oh, this is balls of steel, Nigerian men abroad will almost faint with fear just to travel from Lagos to Ibadan when they are back home on holiday and you ride through, safe journey and much respect.
Wow! Brave lady. Even I as a Nigerian in Nigeria wouldn't dare try such a ride because of the insecurity in the land. But here you are teaching a coward like me how to do it. Congratulations, Madam. Safe journey as you journey through
This Woman has balls as big as an ostriches egg. I have no words to describe her daring guts. She is one brave woman I wouldn't want to get into a dispute with 😂 💪
Especially for a woman...in a rural place like that there are plenty of places to hide a body...not that anyone would come looking for her...pulling out that roll of money at that gas station wasn't the smartest move. For her safety she'd be better off staying home and watching other people's videos or take a man with you next time.
@user-jh7nc3pv8h How else was she supposed to pay without taking the money out? She had almost exact Amount they were asking for, I agree it'd be dumb to take out more money tho
Week after week, month after month, years after years, the more it goes, the more I appreciate Itchy boots adventures . This one made me smile, laugh, and dream again. Thank you. Thank you 😁
Your good natured but firm response to the road blockers is impressive. I would hate to be a truck driver in this country. I love seeing the world through your experiences. Best to you !
As a Gambian residing in the UK, as I watch this video from an unbiased standpoint, it is evident that there are still exceptional and courteous police officers who warmly embrace everyone, as showcased in these videos. However, there are still many corrupt and morally compromised individuals in the police force, hindering the progress and growth not only of the country but also of Africa as a whole.
I saw mostly smiling welcoming faces in this video and one dick who just thought he could try it on. I`ve had holidays in Gambia and Kenya, got out and about among the locals and most people are lovely but you will encounter the ones who just want money for nothing, that`s the same story wherever you go in the world
The roads are a national embarrassment, the cops are an even bigger embarrassment. Thank God they were dismissed, but I hope this would be the last time security officials embarrass us like this.
@@adedotunadeniran8230 See who is talking, if they have roads like this in other parts of the world, should we be copying the bad things from those parts. Or we should be happy that the majority of the roads are like this? We should always make sure our country 🇳🇬 is known for good things. It's not a crime to want "good things" for our country. You need to watch the other videos to see how bad the roads were. She even fell off her bike at some point and someone had to help her pull her bike out of the ditch.
My ex boss Obi is from Nigeria and he recently retired and moved back to Nigeria. He was my favorite boss for 2yrs of my 30 year career and a man of faith. Always with a smile and cheer but competent and firm. Lovely man.
I’m a Nigerian living in the USA. I applaud your courage riding your bike through foreign countries. In general, the people seem to be nice especially when they know that you are a foreigner. Good luck and safe journey. Cross to Cameroon through Cross River State, in the east, at a town called Ikom.
In Cambodia I was alone at the top apartment of my soon-to-betray-me "friend's" place when a big Khmer guy appeared and tried to get in. He told me to open for him, but I was not going to open for a total stranger, so he got furious, and in his clucking language said he wanted to kill me. I know the word for kill. He tried to reach through the window bars to no avail. Frustrated, he left but I stayed inside until the next day in case he tried ambushing me later. I regret moving to Scambodia. I could write a book about how horrible this place is.
@@specialandroid1603 Was nothing to do with her charm and smile everything to do with the senior officer noticing the camera .... She keeps going to 3rd world countries she's going to come unstuck eventually....these liberal women think everyone thinks like them until they find out the hard way
Nigeria was my favourite country (for it's people) on my UK to Cape Town trip. Lovely people and very welcoming, if a little tiresome at times. The corruption is a pain, but its the same everywhere in west Africa. Whilst the constant police stops wear you down, they are there to keep you safe ultimately. Roll with it, youve got this and at least you're making progress. Things get a little easier in Cameroon and much simpler by Angola (apart from the fuel shortages). Keep those wheels turning Norally 👍
I think I see things differently though for me most people in Nigeria are friendly from this video 😂😂 everyone is saying welcome safe journey thats nice
First, I'm so happy your channel found me. I'm a Black American who just returned from visiting Nigeria for the first time two weeks ago, and I fell in love with this country. Yes, there is "police corruption," but I learned that even that problem among some, not all, officers, as the video shows, is due to economic issues. No excuse, just a reality. Beyond that, this video actually proves that the vast majority of Nigerians you encounter are grateful, peaceful, and welcoming people. Noraly did not encounter any threats at all... something I found to be refreshing while there. I live in a large, modern metropolitan city here in the U.S. and trust me when I say there are neighborhoods here that Noraly would not have been safe traversing through with such amazing technological gear. In fact, her Alaska would probably have new bike owners. Facts. Again, Nigeria is a place to be loved, honored, and respected as a country with great culture, beautiful land, and a developing economy. I can envision how living conditions there could only improve with care and support from the world community...not disdain and ignorance from those who only grab a few negative snippets from a short video. Keep up your pilgrimages, Noraly. I will also be watching you now. One Love.❤
I gotta say you're one tough cookie to be able to do what you do in some of the most remote places. As a Woman myself and years of riding various types of cycles, I don't know how well I would have held up facing some of the obstacles you have had to endure. Maybe getting older makes you more cautious...idk, but I for one really do enjoy your adventures and it makes me yearn for the days I was riding around on my Suzuki DR350. Rock on Noraly!
Most of the police officers in this video are actually good ambassadors of the country. I love how one policeman asked her "I hope you're enjoying my country". They were all excited to see her riding alone on thw Nigerian road.
Good ambassadors?! They are all literally stopping travelers to extort money from them. Why else did she have to stop to talk to them? You think those road barriers are part of a national obstacle sport?
As a Nigerian, I enjoyed watching this video. I’m amazed at how easily u navigate around, almost like u were born there. When she counted the money i was like no way, she is a Nigerian, cuz how she know too much😆
I had the exact same experience at Abuja International Airport after arrival. An official (lady) at the final security check just before the airport's exit confiscated my suitcase and said "Give me something". When I told her I don't understand, she said again, "Give me something, anything", and refused to release my suitcase until I complied. All of this happened right in front of several heavily armed security officers (maybe military), all of them heard this, but none of them interjected, even when I protested. Apparently this is perfectly normal in Nigeria.
I am Nigerian. I was traveling out lately and I was asked for money by about 5-6 different staffs at different checkpoint. When I told my friend about the experience, he told me that they were all in it together. That at the end of each work day, they split the money they have collected from "tasking" travelers among themselves. In the meantime, I would like to ask you a question. Are you born again?
@@DrDingus It's a longer story as I was also held up for about 2 hours by a guy in passport control who confiscated my passport to solicit a bribe. I refused and when they changed shifts, the next passport control officer took my passport out from under the counter where the previous guy put it, stamped it, and let me through. It was a business trip and I was concerned that the shuttle sent by the company to pick me up would leave without me. My phone couldn't connect to the local network so I couldn't call. So I did what I had to to get out of there. It was a gaunlet of bribe solicitation to get through that airport. The rason I commented here was because the same term "give me something" was used by the second person, so I wanted to share.
When I worked in Nigeria I learned to keep a $20 in my pocket and hide the rest of my money. That way when the inevitable demand for “gratuity” came from the police or other government official, I could plead that the $20 was all I had. It happened a lot. Those stereotypes don’t come from nowhere.
@@rick262 Yep, I'm 66 years old and I usually do the same when I travel in my own country Romania. And to be honest, the same thing happened to me almost everywhere in Eastern Europe. In my opinion, this kind of behavior can be generalized with few exceptions and, more or less so in sight and imperative, in almost all the world to those who hold the power of a weapon and the authority of the position in their country.
With the rebel groups causing havoc and danger in Nigeria, I really wonder why you decided to go there. I guess you don't want to miss out on any country, but this one is incredibly risky. I'm sure you make it through okay as we get these videos on a time lag. Please continue to be safe! You are a remarkable human being! ❤
How is it risk? stop talking what you dont know, i have been watching the video all through, did she experience any problem, the answer is no and everyone was friendly to her, stop talking trash
@@philphil2652 I know, and I know that there are many places where no-one can go alone, even there is no peaceful land in the whole world, and i personally know my Nigerian friends and they are very friendly, but If a girl gets stuck somewhere, so this problem is important. My point is simple my brother, Stay safe where you go.
@user-pk6jv4jv3c she has traveled all around the world, to multiple dangerous countries for years. She is far from naive. YOU'RE naive compared to her.
Can we just spend a minute to appreciate those police officers who welcomed you into our country and asked for nothing in return, because that is not normal behaviour.
Noraly I have followed you from day 1 and admire your tenacity and courage and honesty toward your host countries. Im South African and have been for all of my 77 years. Today for the first time I felt that you are pushing the boundries in terms of your safety and really am feeling nervous.. I know you are a wise person and I admire that but be careful. This is Africa unfortunately with some bad history. Having said that God Bless you on your ventures.
Very impressed at the prompt response by Nigerian authorities. This chanel is followed by millions and obviously includes their superiors. Well done for the anti corruption drive Nigeria.
To be fair, I bet the fast response to corruption is the same reason corruption is so rampant in the first place. There's not much bureaucracy hindering things from moving fast, or going wrong.
I have to give a thousand thumbs up for your bravery going though Nigeria. You are a, in tune with things,lady and handle the stops very well! The corruption is so unfortunate. I am glad to see some just want to know your business and aren’t anything more than that. Pretty intense day...glad you didn’t have rains. Great video Noraly!
You’re cool as a cucumber! I like that 99% of the officers welcomed you to Nigeria. Just shows how kind and welcoming they are. Still has me on the edge of my seat biting my nails!
In the normal countries the officers policies take care about other things. 1. This barrier is to stop people and ask for something. 2. This is very disrespect to any travelers. The Africa problem is not poorest place but poorest mentality. If changes this poorest mentality, the countries can change from they poorest in prosperity.
The fact that we can watch this video means Noraly is safely through Nigerian. Thank goodness because a lot of adventurer riders have had a tough time there.
I just stumble to your Channel, and I just cant imagine what you do is beyond bravery and courage,I salute you with my 2 hands .. I love adventure, but what you do is way way beyond… I would love to see more of your adventures so I’m subscribing to your channel. It takes courage and balls to face those corrupt cops , really!!! Be safe and take care👍
You have no idea how excited I felt seeing you pass through Ilorin central mosque. I haven't been there in over 3 years although I was born and brought up in the city. It made me feel like I travelled with you back there. Thanks and safe travel.
Companies wanting to do business in Nigeria have to budget for paying off government officials - that's the way business is generally done in this country. It's possibly one of the most corrupt countries in the world - not to mention one of the most dangerous. You are one brave woman!
@itchy Boots that 2 police officers officially lost their job 4 weeks ago. all in the world Nigerian news and even in youtube. be safe! happy riding! love all your videos! excellent works.
You need to be more crazy than brave to do what you’re doing! Absolutely incredible. I spent two weeks in Nigeria this year over the summer to film a documentary about the attacks of Boko Haram and Fulanis. I went to Chibok too and I exactly know what it takes to travel across Nigeria. All the best and please stay safe. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧
Risking your life unnecessarily for a YT channel is ridiculous, everyone knows life is cheap in some of these places. It wouldn't be the first time and it wont be the last when people like her have just "disappeared".... no need to just volunteer to be another statistic...
@@tada2508 Don't worry Roma people have similar problems, but sadly its deep ingrained in their culture, and the "gypsy way of making money". Force prostitution, kidnappings, corruption and stealing. Stereotypes don't fall out of the sky. God forbid you're a darker skin indian or black person, they'll throw slurs left and right at you, thinking they're superior while dressed in raggidy clothes. Of course, this is the city romanis, the countryside living ones have a different culture and are usually honest and hardworking, and are at conflict with the ones living in the city.
It was also nice to see how almost every single person she met in Nigeria was warm, friendly, pleasant and welcoming of her. I travelled many countries in the world and have never seen this level of hospitality and openness from the local people. In other countries I don't remember people asking me where i was from or how my family was and where i was going. All you get is the occasional stares. Kudos to Nigerians. One love.
Exactly. But she chose to remember the one that begged her for money. And there are nigerians in this comment section sheepishly condemning the entire police force because of that. I have personally experienced police brutality in nigeria but that doesn't mean I should just condemn the entire police or entire country all the time just for the sake of it. A lot of us clearly have inferiority complex with white people. This comment section shows that clearly.
While in college I had several classes with a guy from Nigeria. His name I believe was Bolaji, but I can’t remember his last name. I still remember how pleasant he was and was always in a good mood. He was always dressed in the finest clothes, as if he were meeting someone important and always, always had the best smelling cologne. He was working on his bachelor’s degree to get into med school. I have no doubt that young man became a doctor as he made straight A’s. He not only was going to school full time he also worked at a minimum of 40 hours/week for his Uncle whom was sponsoring him to be in the US. I asked why he would work so much and he said he did not want to dishonor himself or his Uncle for allowing him to live with his family for free while going to school. So he worked to contribute to the household out of respect and honor. Just wow.
It's because they noticed she's white, so most of them had to be nice. This means our police have the tendency to be polite, they just choose who they can show that side to
Which nice? They are not nice. They are all part of the plan. As far as I'm concerned they are armed robbers. Traveling in Nigeria is a dangerous activity that could end your life. If the bandits don't get you, you won't miss the kidnappers and if they don't get you the police will definitely make your life miserable.
they ask that to almost anyone honestly. white, black, yellow or whatever. If they see you look to have a bit of money they will ask you. If you didn't notice, all people on the video were super nice and caring, just the corrupt police as usual (and not just NIgeria, even in industrialized countries)
That was an embarrassment for an officer and frankly, disgusting. Carrying oneself in such situation by standing your ground without invoking aggression in other people is a skill not many people possess and you clearly have mastered it. I strive to achieve that skill day because I'd lose my cool as soon as they try to extort me for money. Be careful out there, Noraly. I wish you a safe journey.
Noraly, your determination, your courage is impressive, you have a natural adventurous spirit. I've been watching her videos for a long time and they all surprise me in some way, the places you go, paths that aren't always passable, you're an incredible girl. Congratulations and take care.
Reading through the comments is just cracking me up, I'm a Nigerian that likes travelling and I just stumbled over her channel.. I'm pretty much chuffed to see how well she has acclimatised to her surroundings! She's living her best life and showing us a different perspective from what the media think you should see! Its amazing and quite sad how we've become so domesticated and sheltered that we can't even dare! Kudos Noraly... I'll BE watching all your adventures and wishing you GODSPEED!!! ❤❤❤
I haven't seen much comments defending the corruption of the policemen. Corruption is bad but giving Nigeria and Nigerians bad publicity through degrading comments is bad.
Noraly, it is good to see that “You are welcome” in Nigeria 😊 Well done on navigating the roads, roadblocks, and police encounters. It is not for the faint of heart. Stay well, stay safe. P.S. Your choice of music lately has had me dancing at my office desk 🤗
30 years ago, I did my journée through Nigeria, Niger,Benin and Togo. Nigeria, even 30 years ago, was the most precarious, traveling from Cotonou to Lagos and then to the North of the country. Beautiful journey, and yes lots of police on the roads asking for money. Thumbs up.!
Mad Respect for you 🎉❤. God continues to keep you safe in our great Nation, Nigeria. I also pray God prosper our Nation in the years to come so that our Nigerian police would not be label as beggers.
You are a hero for keeping up that smile and positive attitude, when you're stuck in traffic in a highly stressful environment where you have to be 100% alert... Keep on being inspirational!
Hi man, can I ask you a question? I'm from Russia and I'm watching Noraly's Africa travel videos. Why do many African countries use such checkpoints every kilometer?
@@steventrump7144 traffic police do not patrol with vehicles frequently so the are sent by their bosses to set up such road blocks to check if vehicles are roadworthy and collect bribes from motorists which their bosses allow and get a share too.
Those constables have now been dismissed by the Nigerian police for attempting to extort you, as the Nigerian Police does not condone such acts. Great job on how you handled the situation! Love from Nigeria!🇳🇬
so they should have been to. quite a few countries in Africa are very corrupt when people are poor they will try it on a lot of travelers would pay for less hassle well done Noraly for sticking up for your rights.
The Nigerian police DOES condone such acts, and you know it. It is the higher ups that send these types out to get the money. You know this so tell the truth and shame the devil.
@@sylviasworld9397 Corruption is not exclusive to the Nigerian Police as you make it seem, there're corrupt officials in every country and every institution of the world. The police has been prompt and effective today, and I think they should be commended for that. I hope you also saw how the men at the other checkpoints were kind and professional.

Rewatching your videos while you recover. Sending you all the good vibes I can muster!
Noraly your determination to ride in lands that are challenged by poor governance is incredible. Your videos show good honest locals just trying to live lives while putting up with poor roads & never ending road blocks. Your videos show how people endure & overcome their circumstances. Stay safe.
Those road blocks have a "name" its Milking pots,....terible also for the lockal people.
The Police Department gave them the sack for it. Great
Armed men stopping you at impromptu checkpoints every 5 minutes, checking you out, looking at your equipment, you nervously laugh and carry on if they let you. Living life one checkpoint at a time, looks like fun!
There are good cops and bad ones in this video alone. When that cop asked “are you enjoying my country” that shows me he cares about the image and safety of people who visits his country

This video has really shown how friendly Nigerians are regardless of the poverty level being high. You see so many individuals smiling

You are brave for this. As a Nigerian American , I went to Nigeria this summer. I traveled from Lagos to Ilorin by car and the amount of corrupt police officers that we had to bribe was unbelievable. The road conditions are also really bad and driving is really rough and dangerous as only locals can really drive in nigeria so you’re really brave for this.
Youd be corrupt too if you were born in dirty and poor country.. easy to judge from USA in your comfy bed
take a camera next time !
Why don't they give her more of a hard time? Could they get in trouble if they bother a foreigner?
Roads in Nigeria are not safe to travel especially for foreigners. many employ personal armed bodyguards.
the line between bravery and stupidity is thin
I'm a Cameroonian. I love riding like this, discovering places, amazing people(not scary corrupt officers),and bringing joy.This is what I want to do. You are truly brave

Brave? She couldn't even make it across the bridge without help from a man
Not glad you avoided Lagos and Ibadan together.. Pretty glad you were safe.. As usual, you always show us more than any countries want outsiders to see. Love your channel.

Especially for a woman...in a rural place like that there are plenty of places to hide a body...not that anyone would come looking for her...pulling out that roll of money at that gas station wasn't the smartest move. For her safety she'd be better off staying home and watching other people's videos or take a man with you next time.

Nigeria is scary and welcoming at the same time.👍
Lol, I guess.
As a Gambian residing in the UK, as I watch this video from an unbiased standpoint, it is evident that there are still exceptional and courteous police officers who warmly embrace everyone, as showcased in these videos.
However, there are still many corrupt and morally compromised individuals in the police force, hindering the progress and growth not only of the country but also of Africa as a whole.
I saw mostly smiling welcoming faces in this video and one dick who just thought he could try it on. I`ve had holidays in Gambia and Kenya, got out and about among the locals and most people are lovely but you will encounter the ones who just want money for nothing, that`s the same story wherever you go in the world
Being oyingbo is helping her
Don't talk about other countries we are talking about nigeria is the worst
A lot of that nice police footage on this channel is a result of her having three go-pros on and being a westerner.
@fernandoalcantara2435 Dangerous, hostile, and crime everywhere? Where did you see all that ?
The roads are a national embarrassment, the cops are an even bigger embarrassment. Thank God they were dismissed, but I hope this would be the last time security officials embarrass us like this.

In Cambodia I was alone at the top apartment of my soon-to-betray-me "friend's" place when a big Khmer guy appeared and tried to get in. He told me to open for him, but I was not going to open for a total stranger, so he got furious, and in his clucking language said he wanted to kill me. I know the word for kill. He tried to reach through the window bars to no avail. Frustrated, he left but I stayed inside until the next day in case he tried ambushing me later. I regret moving to Scambodia. I could write a book about how horrible this place is.
@@specialandroid1603 Was nothing to do with her charm and smile everything to do with the senior officer noticing the camera .... She keeps going to 3rd world countries she's going to come unstuck eventually....these liberal women think everyone thinks like them until they find out the hard way
Nigeria was my favourite country (for it's people) on my UK to Cape Town trip. Lovely people and very welcoming, if a little tiresome at times. The corruption is a pain, but its the same everywhere in west Africa. Whilst the constant police stops wear you down, they are there to keep you safe ultimately. Roll with it, youve got this and at least you're making progress. Things get a little easier in Cameroon and much simpler by Angola (apart from the fuel shortages). Keep those wheels turning Norally 👍
I think I see things differently though for me most people in Nigeria are friendly from this video 😂😂 everyone is saying welcome safe journey thats nice
First, I'm so happy your channel found me. I'm a Black American who just returned from visiting Nigeria for the first time two weeks ago, and I fell in love with this country. Yes, there is "police corruption," but I learned that even that problem among some, not all, officers, as the video shows, is due to economic issues. No excuse, just a reality. Beyond that, this video actually proves that the vast majority of Nigerians you encounter are grateful, peaceful, and welcoming people. Noraly did not encounter any threats at all... something I found to be refreshing while there. I live in a large, modern metropolitan city here in the U.S. and trust me when I say there are neighborhoods here that Noraly would not have been safe traversing through with such amazing technological gear. In fact, her Alaska would probably have new bike owners. Facts. Again, Nigeria is a place to be loved, honored, and respected as a country with great culture, beautiful land, and a developing economy. I can envision how living conditions there could only improve with care and support from the world community...not disdain and ignorance from those who only grab a few negative snippets from a short video. Keep up your pilgrimages, Noraly. I will also be watching you now. One Love.❤
What part of Nigeria did you visit?
@@ossaiobinnacharles9281 I spent most of my time in Imo state.
Thanks for your insightful and Beautiful comment ❤🎉❤🎉
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Imo.. You were in Owerri, I guess.
@Tgee01 Yes, Owerri, Port Harcourt, and also spent time in Lagos.
I gotta say you're one tough cookie to be able to do what you do in some of the most remote places. As a Woman myself and years of riding various types of cycles, I don't know how well I would have held up facing some of the obstacles you have had to endure. Maybe getting older makes you more cautious...idk, but I for one really do enjoy your adventures and it makes me yearn for the days I was riding around on my Suzuki DR350. Rock on Noraly!
Yea, and I think of the obstacles and hardships she must endure that aren't shown or discussed. Truly the real life Wonder Woman! Peace!
Most of the police officers in this video are actually good ambassadors of the country. I love how one policeman asked her "I hope you're enjoying my country". They were all excited to see her riding alone on thw Nigerian road.
i loved that part. he was so humble that they had a visitor. I'd be nervous but would love to see the country.
are you kidding ??? shes lucky she was covered in cameras !
@@trotgun1563 Wait a minute, do you think cameras will stop them from doing anything if they wanted to. You must know nothing.
Just for jokes.
Good ambassadors?! They are all literally stopping travelers to extort money from them. Why else did she have to stop to talk to them? You think those road barriers are part of a national obstacle sport?
It's inspiring... i guess Nigeria 🇳🇬 was fun place to be 😂😂
As a Nigerian, I enjoyed watching this video. I’m amazed at how easily u navigate around, almost like u were born there. When she counted the money i was like no way, she is a Nigerian, cuz how she know too much😆
I had the exact same experience at Abuja International Airport after arrival. An official (lady) at the final security check just before the airport's exit confiscated my suitcase and said "Give me something". When I told her I don't understand, she said again, "Give me something, anything", and refused to release my suitcase until I complied. All of this happened right in front of several heavily armed security officers (maybe military), all of them heard this, but none of them interjected, even when I protested. Apparently this is perfectly normal in Nigeria.
you should have asked her how she would have felt if she didnt eat breakfast that morning
Did you give them something? What happened?
I am Nigerian. I was traveling out lately and I was asked for money by about 5-6 different staffs at different checkpoint. When I told my friend about the experience, he told me that they were all in it together. That at the end of each work day, they split the money they have collected from "tasking" travelers among themselves.
In the meantime, I would like to ask you a question. Are you born again?
@@DrDingus It's a longer story as I was also held up for about 2 hours by a guy in passport control who confiscated my passport to solicit a bribe. I refused and when they changed shifts, the next passport control officer took my passport out from under the counter where the previous guy put it, stamped it, and let me through. It was a business trip and I was concerned that the shuttle sent by the company to pick me up would leave without me. My phone couldn't connect to the local network so I couldn't call. So I did what I had to to get out of there. It was a gaunlet of bribe solicitation to get through that airport. The rason I commented here was because the same term "give me something" was used by the second person, so I wanted to share.
@@MatthysduToit I hope you get paid well enough to deal with that crap.
When I worked in Nigeria I learned to keep a $20 in my pocket and hide the rest of my money. That way when the inevitable demand for “gratuity” came from the police or other government official, I could plead that the $20 was all I had. It happened a lot. Those stereotypes don’t come from nowhere.
I used to do the same in Baja California, Mexico.
@@rick262 Yep, I'm 66 years old and I usually do the same when I travel in my own country Romania. And to be honest, the same thing happened to me almost everywhere in Eastern Europe. In my opinion, this kind of behavior can be generalized with few exceptions and, more or less so in sight and imperative, in almost all the world to those who hold the power of a weapon and the authority of the position in their country.
With the rebel groups causing havoc and danger in Nigeria, I really wonder why you decided to go there. I guess you don't want to miss out on any country, but this one is incredibly risky. I'm sure you make it through okay as we get these videos on a time lag. Please continue to be safe! You are a remarkable human being! ❤

You’re cool as a cucumber! I like that 99% of the officers welcomed you to Nigeria. Just shows how kind and welcoming they are. Still has me on the edge of my seat biting my nails!
more like 60%
In the normal countries the officers policies take care about other things. 1. This barrier is to stop people and ask for something. 2. This is very disrespect to any travelers. The Africa problem is not poorest place but poorest mentality. If changes this poorest mentality, the countries can change from they poorest in prosperity.
Where did you get this number from?

I travelled many countries in the world and have never seen this level of hospitality and openness from the local people. In other countries I don't remember people asking me where i was from or how my family was and where i was going. All you get is the occasional stares. Kudos to Nigerians. One love.
Thanks for the kind compliment. I'm Nigerian
Exactly. But she chose to remember the one that begged her for money. And there are nigerians in this comment section sheepishly condemning the entire police force because of that. I have personally experienced police brutality in nigeria but that doesn't mean I should just condemn the entire police or entire country all the time just for the sake of it.
A lot of us clearly have inferiority complex with white people. This comment section shows that clearly.
Nigerians are good people and welcoming
that is Nigerian culture, we like to know about you in a very complimentary way, and well you are doing
While in college I had several classes with a guy from Nigeria. His name I believe was Bolaji, but I can’t remember his last name. I still remember how pleasant he was and was always in a good mood. He was always dressed in the finest clothes, as if he were meeting someone important and always, always had the best smelling cologne. He was working on his bachelor’s degree to get into med school. I have no doubt that young man became a doctor as he made straight A’s. He not only was going to school full time he also worked at a minimum of 40 hours/week for his Uncle whom was sponsoring him to be in the US. I asked why he would work so much and he said he did not want to dishonor himself or his Uncle for allowing him to live with his family for free while going to school. So he worked to contribute to the household out of respect and honor. Just wow.
Tbh I’m surprised only one officer asked for money. The rest seemed extremely friendly and polite
📷 all around her plus her energy dissipates to the people because of her years of traveling her presence demands reverence.
It's because they noticed she's white, so most of them had to be nice. This means our police have the tendency to be polite, they just choose who they can show that side to
Me too
Most police officers saw camera, that's why they didn't harass you for money
Which nice? They are not nice. They are all part of the plan. As far as I'm concerned they are armed robbers. Traveling in Nigeria is a dangerous activity that could end your life. If the bandits don't get you, you won't miss the kidnappers and if they don't get you the police will definitely make your life miserable.
I’m the happiest person right now. On a simple fact that you’re okay and safe back home. Speedy recovery my friend. Gods be.
A white woman with money and a nice bike,riding alone in Nigeria.What could go wrong?Hopefully things going out well for you on your adventure.
Exactly what I said.
Precisely.
In a world especially AFRICA a white woman needs to tread lightly.
they ask that to almost anyone honestly. white, black, yellow or whatever. If they see you look to have a bit of money they will ask you. If you didn't notice, all people on the video were super nice and caring, just the corrupt police as usual (and not just NIgeria, even in industrialized countries)
Just trying his luck! Nothing sinister about it!
am not surprised. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN - NEVER BLINDLY TRUST - RIDE SAFE, GOD BLESS.
That was an embarrassment for an officer and frankly, disgusting. Carrying oneself in such situation by standing your ground without invoking aggression in other people is a skill not many people possess and you clearly have mastered it. I strive to achieve that skill day because I'd lose my cool as soon as they try to extort me for money. Be careful out there, Noraly. I wish you a safe journey.
I wonder if that officer still has his job. Are consequences in Nigeria at the moment too much to hope for?

Thumbs up.!

It was banter
Not really brother!! Majority of the people in the video were respectful and welcoming.. I would love to visit some day ..
@@ziggarillo I think so too but on the other hand if she had said "How much?" instead of "Why? he would have taken it.
Mad Respect for you 🎉❤. God continues to keep you safe in our great Nation, Nigeria.
I also pray God prosper our Nation in the years to come so that our Nigerian police would not be label as beggers.
You fierce soul, thanks for sharing the world your adventures. Very inspiring.
You are a hero for keeping up that smile and positive attitude, when you're stuck in traffic in a highly stressful environment where you have to be 100% alert... Keep on being inspirational!
My heart beat is racing knowing you are riding through Nigeria... Keep safe always Noraly
Girl is CRAZY!
It's not that bad, ma'am...
whats happening in nigeria
I agree, Nigeria is sketchy and seems dangerous.
@@meFatuationsit’s not at all
Love your smile when you passed that small wooden plank. Appreciating small wins. 😁
LOL!…. Those two police officers are applying to become Nigeria’s next leaders.😂🤣
That was wrong of him, but I also recall every single human being cheering you and adding YOU ARE WELCOME !
“You’re welcome”.. most of the policemen on the road are very kind. I’m a Kenyan and I like this.
yes i thought it was so kind of them to say
Hi man, can I ask you a question? I'm from Russia and I'm watching Noraly's Africa travel videos. Why do many African countries use such checkpoints every kilometer?
@@steventrump7144 traffic police do not patrol with vehicles frequently so the are sent by their bosses to set up such road blocks to check if vehicles are roadworthy and collect bribes from motorists which their bosses allow and get a share too.
@@steventrump7144 Security around borders is taken seriously.
Those constables have now been dismissed by the Nigerian police for attempting to extort you, as the Nigerian Police does not condone such acts. Great job on how you handled the situation! Love from Nigeria!🇳🇬
so they should have been to. quite a few countries in Africa are very corrupt when people are poor they will try it on a lot of travelers would pay for less hassle well done Noraly for sticking up for your rights.
Great
The Nigerian police DOES condone such acts, and you know it. It is the higher ups that send these types out to get the money. You know this so tell the truth and shame the devil.
@@sylviasworld9397 Corruption is not exclusive to the Nigerian Police as you make it seem, there're corrupt officials in every country and every institution of the world. The police has been prompt and effective today, and I think they should be commended for that. I hope you also saw how the men at the other checkpoints were kind and professional.
BS, Nigerian police are highly corrupt. It's all over.
That biker at 3:13 left me laughing
