It hit me when you said to walk around with people who look like you. I never experienced that, must be wonderful 🥰. I'm not a self conscious person, I still walk out my mostly white neighborhood with my hair in a hair wrap, or in crown rolls or in twist. But I can feeeeeel the eyes and the judgment. Or the long states I get when I walk out with my very large afro....like I'm an alien from out of space. Would be nice to do all the above and no one even bats an eye because it's normal.
But even in black communities if you are not dressed a particular way and your edges are not laid or you're actually wearing sporting the hair that grows out of your head, you get those stares sometimes
I remember going from the UK to Barbados at 7 years old for my first holiday, seeing black people on TV and surrounded by people who look like you, it gives you a new confidence and perspective
Anyone not surprised she moved back to the US? most people who move to Africa move back to their home country within a few years. This happens all the time with travel influencers.
Missed you so much. Glad you’re back and giving yourself the care you deserve 💗 Also thanks for the Nigerian series...I loved it so much! I really appreciate sharing the flip side of things which must be hard to do. I was so stressed seeing the crowds, traffic, but fell so in love with the people. It’s good to share the whole story because i could see some people going not realizing that it could be more than they can handle. I’ll be watching for videos though😂🤗🙏🏽
Me too. I think it's because you're operating on pure adrenaline. Adrenaline must suppress the appetite or something because it knows you don't have to eat lol.
Being American, I thought the Nigerian videos were very interesting and I enjoyed them all. You did a fantastic job getting quality footage and editing it. Maybe when you go back again you will relax a bit and not feel so stressed knowing that you are good at what you do. Will you at some point move to Nigeria permanently, or just continue to visit from time to time? It's good to have you back, and I look forward to more hair videos.🥰
Thank you so much!! I dont think I'lll ever live in Nigeria for more than like a year at a time, but who knows what the future holds really. Though I like the ability to go in between both places
@@SeunOkimi what I am about to say might sound judgemental but it's not ( or maybe it is, but I'm not coming from a bad place): (Sirey for the grammatical errors. My first language is portuguese) How can our African continent grow when our youth are not coming back to use their knowledge for the development of our continent? How can we fight poverty when our people choose to work for other countries making them richer and richer? I do understand that it's not easy to adjust but we have to start somewhere. Africa will beat poverty if we ( africans) work for us and not for the "white countries". My advice to you and everybody who is doing the same as you,to think about this and visualise, not your future, but your children's future in European/american countries vs in african countries developed by you (the parents). Blessings to you all!
I visited Nigeria once did not Like it at all love the PEOPLE and FOOD but NOT the GOVERNMENT SYSTEM TOO MUCH CORRUPTIONS and SUPPRESSION of the PEOPLE. We love you beautiful
I pronise you, the rest of us in Nigeria are daunted by Lagos traffic too 😅 i spent the 1st 8 years of my life in lagos and then had to keep going back till i was like 13. I'm 30 now and i definitely never want to live there ever again! Nigeria is more than Lagos and im so glad i got to experience even more of Nigeria. Next time you come to Nigeria, try visiting other places like Abuja, port Harcourt, Kano, Bauchi. Ibadan. So many other lovely places ❤
I visited Nigeria last month and let me just say, I definitely know what you mean! I do not miss their traffic!!! It takes so long to get to places, by the time you go to 1 or 2 places, you're very tired. I had some good times learning and seeing the culture, but it's constantly "on go" there. I plan on visiting again some time next year! Enjoyed you sharing your experience 👍🏾❤😊
@@SeunOkimi Yes!! Lagos was so busy!! I never experienced anything like that. I was staying in Ibadan, but by the time my flight landed at 4pm and I had to go through all the security, plus my luggage was left in Lomé 😩 it would've taken 3 hours to get to Ibadan after I finally got out of the airport at 5:30pm. So just finding a hotel at last minute in Lagos was very exhausting!! I watched your videos before I went and it definitely put me more at ease in that situation 😌
It's taken me so very long to curb my 'perfectionism' with work, so I really felt for you 🤗❤ it can get better with time, I will share my 2 personal rules for my work that help me 1. If it's 80% good enough to my eyes then move on to the next thing and 2. I put 2 alarms on my phone to remind me to eat! You're a beautiful soul 🕊💛
I really enjoyed watching your Nigeria series! I experienced all kinds of emotions, so that means that you did a great job. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love and blessings 💖 💕
I’m glad you are being honest. Nigeria is a very stressful place to live. I could never live there. I’m proud to be Nigerian, and I wish I could be a Nigerian in Nigeria, but I can not…
I felt everything you said 100%. I was born in the US, raised partly in Nigeria. Moved permanently to the US in 2011. I don't look forward to going back to live there. I cringe whenever my husband says he'll like to retire in Nigeria. I'm proudly Nigerian, just not proud of the life there. The stress, the scams, the "packaging" the religious fanaticism. It's all to much for me. Thanks for sharing Seun.
I'm a Nigerian living in Nigeria and I 200% testify,everything is built to make your life harder!! I'm praying to God I get out of this place real quick.
I'm Nigerian and went home in May and let me tell you, lagos is stressful 😫. Traffic, hustling, the begging right from the airport etc. From the heat and smell of gas at the airport in arrival, the stress and extortion going through customs cos of our expired passports and subsequent extortion from every official we came across. To walking miles to the parking and dragging our luggage, my 12 yr old said mom i don't ever wanna come back. And i don't blame her
@@TUDBEE1 I think it's the Ignorant "Don't come here and tell me different" Mentality of the people. Sad to say, Everywhere Black people Are, it's the Same Awful situation, not just Nigeria.....
Awesome life update. Just want you to know that I appreciate all of your hard work I enjoy every video that you upload to your channel I know it definitely not easy. When you did your videos on your life in Nigeria 🇳🇬 I personally felt like I had experience what it may feel like to be home (where ancestors came from) so Thank You for that.
I love the way you fly back and forth from the motherland i can't wait to visit 😍 but first I have to go to Jamaica thats where my dad's from 🥰🥰 but after Jamaica most definitely Nigeria or Ghana I love Ghana
Seun we love you and want you to be healthy and happy no matter where you are. I loved your Nigeria videos, I am happy you made them. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you are doing an amazing job.
Please you can, most RUclipsrs visit or stay only in the Lagos part. I stay in Abuja, Nigeria and Lagos is equally stressful to anyone who has stayed in Abuja ... so I really would love if RUclipsrs are really specific like Lagos Nigeria not saying Nigeria as a whole, so everyone can understand the view point and know what to expect.
Dearest Seun. I understand how hard life can be in Nigeria. Our family visited with my then husband many years ago. I was born here in UK and my immediately family are from Barbados. Life was quite hard....ie. Buying n bartering, purchasing from the markets,,,yes the heat, the overwhelming crowdiness and fast pace..I really understand how you felt..plus the electric kept going off and sometimes lack of water. I know at times filming and doing RUclips must have been tiring. Some things like the beaches, the people, the food was fab...👍🏾
So glad you got the rest you needed. My life is stressful and your videos provide an outlet for me and probably others. However, take care of yourself sis. 🙏🏽❤️
We understand you 100%, Lagos is a whole other place, it very stressful for us born and brought up here. It's more chill in some other parts like Abuja. Am happy you enjoyed your stay. love from lagos,💜🇳🇬
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For God so loved the World that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 That’s how much he loves us that he sacrificed his own Son so that we wouldn’t have to be in Jesus spot so that we wouldn’t have to suffer.
Welcome back, I hope you had a chance to practice your specific language; you look Amazing. Thanks for sharing. You did a great video series on your amazing culture from the lens of a Nigerian.
Am not Nigerian and have never been but one day God willing I want to visit. From what I have seen in videos, Lagos is a stressful nightmare like Mumbai India but then there are other parts of Nigeria that are more chill and really nice. I think that’s the same of many other countries around the world….
You are right, there are other places in Nigeria that has little or no stress and you will enjoy every bit of the environment all the way down to the food but there is just something about Lagos, it has his own special kind of fun and beautiful things but you just have to be ready and up to the stress. There is a popular saying about surviving in Lagos, you just have to be mad because there is no normal individual in Lagos..
I'm glad you actually came back to say this because it's like you don't feel the stress until you actually left the environment and you're like "wow! I was doing ALL that" So, I really understand you and I love that you came back to say this part... 😘😘
Percebi esse "estresse" principalmente quando filmava na rua, em lugares publicos (policiais mandando desligar a camera... corrupção)... Realmente outro mundo e pra uma youtuber, a Nigéria não seria um bom lugar
I *completely* understand about putting more stress on yourself, I'm one of those people who does that too! I have to UNDER-do it just to make things work for me. Like I have to build in lots of rest and down time in the day or I just get overwhelmed and can't do it. Please take care of yourself!! I understand the appreciation that you have for Nigeria too (even though I've never been). When I go back to the US I don't have to explain myself or my accent or where I'm from or why I'm here and all of that stuff.
Seun I agree with you on enjoying both places. My visit to South Africa a few months ago, showed me that I could live there as well as here in America. You really did great videos in Nigeria. I definitely want to visit Nigeria now. Thank you so much for sharing bits of your life with us.❤❤❤❤❤
I went to nigeria about 3 months ago and let me tell you, immediately when I entered the country I felt stress. Enter into the airport =stressed,so much solicitation. getting a ride to the hotel=stressed coming back to USA stressed Getting food was difficult. Cooking was difficult. But I would go back.
My exact story last month. It was until I got to a "silent" airport in Amsterdam that I realised there were other states of life experiences. Anyway, whilst I was there I made sure to write lots of things down to make life easier for my next trip, and I want to experiment and see if it works out... But not for a few years, still traumatised.
Nigeria is stressful and Lagos is the real stress, I can relate with how you felt but it was good to know that you had fun in all of it and you are back to America..
My mom went to Lagos for a few weeks. when she came back , I could barely recognize her. She aged like 10 years; had shallow eyes with dark circles, wrinkled neck and weight loss…I had to take a picture
@@solarlola5953 so sorry about that m dear but it is what it is. That is Lagos for you. Even if you happen to just travel outside Lagos for few days and come back you will see a very big difference that Lagos indeed is draining..
I am a flatbed truck driver and my own boss. I know how it feels when you are constantly going and dont realize that you havent eaten for days or drink water even though you are sweating buckets😁😁but...its nice to enjoy what you do. Even though it has its stressors
Hi Seun, I love seeing your videos in Nigeria , it was so cultural and rich and it also reminds me so much of Jamaica too. One thing within this video I've never seen are the flashing clips and pictures. May you please slow them down because of sensory issues? P.S. I love your videos and they are so educational. Keep up the great work!
Love you Seun, I’m so glad you’re giving yourself what you need. One of my favorite quotes is “Nature never hurries, yet everything is accomplished.” Be gentle with yourself. Whatever you want to do you will do, in due time. 🤍♥️💜
Wonderful vlogs, welcome back thanks for sharing about your birth country. I am form the west Indies t&t and I enjoy watching Nigerian movies looking forward for your future videos🙏💐
Thank you so much for sharing your hair care routine and tips for growth and retaining!!! I wanted to ask, do you recommend trimming regularly?? And how often is “regular”? Your hair looks amazing and healthy❤️
Hello Seun thank you for sharing your life in Nigeria very beautiful, blessed and amazing family..Welcome back to US. I love watching your video and I love you God bless you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I moved to Uganda from Canada and I can 100% relate to this video. Especially the eating part ! I lost SO much weight, it was crazy. Just from being busy and doing things. Glad you enjoyed Nigeria though!
Welcome back😘😘😘. I know it was not easy But you did a great job. It's perfect in our 👀. It was great seeing our country again. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️
I can relate to the part you said , you didn’t feel hunger. It happens to me a lot, I don’t feel hungry at all. And I would all of a sudden remember omg I’ve not eaten. Welcome back
My Nigerian boyfriend said he will never take me to Nigeria even to visit. I told him I would love to go but he keeps saying no it’s not safe. He goes by himself only for maximum a week and he comes back. He feels stressed when he is there and can’t stay more than a week.
@@OogaLecter right! Talkn bout its not safe🤔 Probably has a whole family- wife and kids. Listen if a man loves you he wants to show you where he comes from, where he grew up and show you off to his family and friends.
@@peeerlyb.7762 That begs a bigger question, if his family is in Nigeria, and I'm assuming he works in the states - then what does he go to Nigeria to do?
@@natasharules770 just business. I am laughing at the wife allusion- it could be possible as anything is possible with Men. I’ll just have to go with what he says for now. :)
My company relocated me from Oregon to Maryland. I had to leave Maryland after five years because the high density and traffic drove me to high levels of stress.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. You truely have a gift. And it was really great as another Nigerian American to see from your eyes what living in Nigeria is like
Hi! So when 'they' "take light", it's basically a power cut or a power outage. It's sporadic and unpredictable and it can last anywhere from a few seconds to hours in the best of situations and the worst can last 7days up to a month sometimes. Its just so unpredictable 😔
Nigeria is really stressful, if you don't force yourself to rest you might breakdown,especially Lagos,but you did a very good job making all these very informative videos ,God bless you.
It hit me when you said to walk around with people who look like you. I never experienced that, must be wonderful 🥰. I'm not a self conscious person, I still walk out my mostly white neighborhood with my hair in a hair wrap, or in crown rolls or in twist. But I can feeeeeel the eyes and the judgment. Or the long states I get when I walk out with my very large afro....like I'm an alien from out of space. Would be nice to do all the above and no one even bats an eye because it's normal.
yes! I really get that. it is a really really nice feeling
But even in black communities if you are not dressed a particular way and your edges are not laid or you're actually wearing sporting the hair that grows out of your head, you get those stares sometimes
@@ForbsieLaLa This happens at times, but the feeling behind it is different. It’s good for one’s self-esteem to be around people who look like them.
I remember going from the UK to Barbados at 7 years old for my first holiday, seeing black people on TV and surrounded by people who look like you, it gives you a new confidence and perspective

Stress with no appetite is so hard to explain to people😶 i once went a whole week almost not eating while going through a stressful thing
it's bad! i feel you!
I’m this way too 🤦🏼♀️
So relatable!!
I've had that before when your so stressed you don't feel hunger. Its so weird when your usually a foodie 🙃
yes!! I'm glad I'm not the only one, haha
Me too. I think it's because you're operating on pure adrenaline. Adrenaline must suppress the appetite or something because it knows you don't have to eat lol.

Love you Seun, I’m so glad you’re giving yourself what you need. One of my favorite quotes is “Nature never hurries, yet everything is accomplished.” Be gentle with yourself. Whatever you want to do you will do, in due time. 🤍♥️💜
Thank you so much!

I moved to Uganda from Canada and I can 100% relate to this video. Especially the eating part ! I lost SO much weight, it was crazy. Just from being busy and doing things. Glad you enjoyed Nigeria though!
i feel you! thank you!!!!!❤️

I’m happy you went back. Nigeria is stressful
Glad you are back on RUclips! 👏 👏🎉🎊🎉
Omg u are so pretty and you are always smiling and so happy 😍
thank you!!!
Was I the only one shocked to see the title? Why did I think you moved back permanently.
Uuuggghhh why are you so stinking CUTE????? And yes, I don't miss Lagos traffic at alllll!
lol, thank you!!
OMG HEY QUEEN
HEYYYY❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
I get the hunger thing. Different environment + set goals you need to cross off + stress put on yourself.....loss of appetite will be inevitable
I can relate to the part you said , you didn’t feel hunger. It happens to me a lot, I don’t feel hungry at all. And I would all of a sudden remember omg I’ve not eaten. Welcome back
Loved seeing your Nigerian family and friends and Nigeria itself~Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. I appreciate YOU
i appreciate YOU. Thank you
You are superrr pretty. Glad you made it back safe.
thank you!!!
Sounds like u were home sick as far as coming back to America 🇺🇸 ... thts normal as well
My Nigerian boyfriend said he will never take me to Nigeria even to visit. I told him I would love to go but he keeps saying no it’s not safe. He goes by himself only for maximum a week and he comes back. He feels stressed when he is there and can’t stay more than a week.
He has a wife
@@OogaLecter right! Talkn bout its not safe🤔 Probably has a whole family- wife and kids. Listen if a man loves you he wants to show you where he comes from, where he grew up and show you off to his family and friends.
@@OogaLecter I see. I thought so but all of his parents are here too
@@peeerlyb.7762 That begs a bigger question, if his family is in Nigeria, and I'm assuming he works in the states - then what does he go to Nigeria to do?
@@natasharules770 just business.
I am laughing at the wife allusion- it could be possible as anything is possible with Men. I’ll just have to go with what he says for now. :)
My company relocated me from Oregon to Maryland. I had to leave Maryland after five years because the high density and traffic drove me to high levels of stress.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. You truely have a gift. And it was really great as another Nigerian American to see from your eyes what living in Nigeria is like
❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU!
I find Nigeria very stressful but like going for a few days. Loved your videos new subscriber here 😊
Happy Sunday ur gorgeous btw and I hope everything in ur life goes on the right path
thank you!!!!!!
Oh thank God, I have been wondering if everything is alright with you. I have been expecting your video
Great video! Can you explain “take light”? When that happens how long does it last for the day?
Hi! So when 'they' "take light", it's basically a power cut or a power outage. It's sporadic and unpredictable and it can last anywhere from a few seconds to hours in the best of situations and the worst can last 7days up to a month sometimes. Its just so unpredictable 😔
@@ruthnnadi9849 thank you so much for your response! That’s very interesting.
I understood when you said you add to your own stress 😂😂. That's definitely me.
I thought you moved back?...i'm lost!
Glad you're back Seun.
Welcome back! ☺
Welcome back💕💕
thank you❤️❤️❤️
Love your journey and your channel🤍. Keep being great by God’s Grace🙏🏽🤍
Thank you so much!!
Nigeria is really stressful, if you don't force yourself to rest you might breakdown,especially Lagos,but you did a very good job making all these very informative videos ,God bless you.
You came back at a good time. America is going to hell in a hand basket.
Nigeria isn’t for the faint hearted.
It’s so great seeing you again. Welcome back to the US! So excited to witness more of your hair journey🌹
Thank you so much!!!!
@@SeunOkimi You’re welcome❤️
