I am Ivorian. We have a lot of Nigerians in our country especially the Hausa and Yoruba. We love all foreigners.
greetings to my Yoruba people pls, thank you for being good to them
I never knew this because your neighboring country to the East said you guys aren't friendly but that is the exact opposite. I must surely visit La Cote d'Ivoire for sure

My mother has Nigerian origins, and her family has been in Togo for years. My father is from a Togolese tribe that also has roots in Ghana. I'm fluent in both French and English. West Africa's rich diversity is a testament to the interwoven nature of our ethnicities. I am simply a proud West-African!
Ewe-Yoruba extraction
Blessed. ❤
Bro it's the Europeans that divided us.
What African languages do you speak?
I don't care about the fluency in european languages. Which Afrikan languages do you speak?
As a Ghanaian, I can say that Ivory Coast is the most loveliest country in Africa, judging from my crazy experiences in 2013 especially in Abidjan, Yamoussoukro and Bouaké. I just love that country especially from the fact that they speak same and similar local languages with we Ghanaians.
They look happier as foreigners more than Nigerian living in their own country
Nigeria is an oppressive society.
@@edwinkevin6741liar
Ivorians are spectacular, a true brotherhood love with sense of humanity and accommodations to welcome foreigners without discrimination, religious bigotry, or tribal sentiments like it was here in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. I pray that God will give Ivorians more peace, love and good health for their tolerance nature and kindness to foreigners.
Ghana is not among so take us out Ivorians half of them are Ghanaians who migrated there akan ethnic group and we are even safer and more peaceful then Ivory Coast
@@julianaansah6367liar, what's safe in a country called Ghana where people like black Americans are scammed under the guise of year of return. Go and check the news. Or what about the Liberians you sent packing empty handed recently after years of staying in Ghana? Please pack yourself
Côte d'Ivoire today, côte d'ivoire forever. My country IS the best of the best.
I hope Nigerians will accept we Ivorians to have their own area in Nigeria too.
Egality should be a reciprocity.
Sauf que l'ivoirien n'aura pas le courage d'aller à Najia tellement le nom de ce pays est gâté chez les francophones 😢😢
What are you talking about. This happened as a result for war immigrants
Nigerians love and welcome fellow west Africans...even makoko is people from benin rebublic that make 80% of the people there..millions of Africans are in lagos and live in all parts of Nigeria
Nigeria is a welcoming country. It is just that you will have to compete there. Something that not a lot of people have the courage to do.
Please come you are welcome ❤
I could see ivorians are so nice peoples with beautiful country❤much love from nigeria
They are actually so nice
Entering this wonderful, beautiful country in 1995, the first thing that struck me was the presence of many Nigerians (many being there for decades) and are called "Anago" because of the number of years they've lived there. I consider Ivory Coast a beautiful, welcoming, charming, peaceful country. I would love to see that country again before I leave this world. My best country in west Africa outside of Naija.
We got their the same year.
Im from côte d'Ivoire and i love Nigérian people there yoruba❤
I love your country, can't wait to eat acheke again.
Cote D'Ivoire is like second home to some of our people especially from Ejigbos.. and beside some can't trace their home nor their family in Nigeria.
We Cote D'Ivoire too.. one love!
Cote d'Ivoire is more friendly than Ghana I just realised however Ghanaians always created the impression that Ivorians are unfriendly to foreigners. Over the past days now my eyes have opened greatly to the opposite of this age-long propaganda
Ogun kee u
4 of my cousins are married to Nigerians mens and they're happily married for more than 10 years. I'm so proud of my country🇨🇮. That's why God bless us.
So happy to hear this ❤️
Nigerians have been in Ivory Coast for decades
Excellent
We don’t need any divisions in Africa frankly. I left Nigeria n 1986 to Europe and the whites referred to me as African. I am African, period! The continent should unite and form a formidable block to prevent foreign interference again.
Thanks for this! I love this 🙏🙏🙏
Nigerians are at least 3 million in Ivory Coast .they have been welcomed since the war in Nigeria to live peacefully over there.
They, especially, the Ejigbo people are have been there before independence. They are traders. They have 3rd to 4th generation now. I know people who were born there in early 60s. So it's not the civil war that brought them.
@@hapexconsulting3789 The civil war brought the majority of Igbo's there. Though now dispersed around Abidjan, then they were mainly in le quartier Biafrais in trechville.
They are selling drugs,if not ur lucky
I was ivorian diaspora is the states. One of my best friends was a nigerian; a nigerian from Côte d'Ivoire lol speaking nouchi and all.
At first i was confused bc when living abroad one would expect people to come straight from their parents' country of origin.
Along the way, one would meet more unusual combinations like Rwandese Ivorian -- these kids know nothing about kigali lol bc they grew up in Abidjan and later on move to the states or canada.
Côte d'Ivoire is indeed a welcoming country.
Exactly
Now I know why Nigeria 🇳🇬 lost the final match against Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 ❤️ Big Brother-ish
Exactly the point 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Hospitality is almost a second religion to us. No problem with anybody.
But what I don't like is that some people take it for granted. Few of them would even try to take the lands of the natives.
that's not good attitude.
Get rid of the bad eggs quickly
I'm Ivorian we have to stop with this stupid hospitality.
@@willba2817pourquoi ??
The reality is, a lot of these other countries like to come to Côte D'ivoire and are accepted as citizens in our country. But we can never ever go to their countries and get too comfortable. They'll remind us that we are foreigners. But they are very comfortable in our country. We are too nice and hospitable to a fault. So ivorians needs to stop welcoming everybody so easily. I know that, that's how we are raised and how our first president indoctrinated us, to be kind and loving but, we need to also be for ivorians first. We need to love ourselves and benefit ourselves first, then put others after. But most ivorians cherish foreigners more than ourselves. Until they insult us to our faces and show their real colors.
Ivoirians people are so kind and welcoming its sad that they dont have the same treatment when they go to other countries. Nigerians feel at home in Ivory coast but I dont thik Ivoirians get the same treatment in Nigeria.
Hmm yes I still marvel how Ivorians welcome Nigerians. I really respect them
Give us one example and stop trying to lie
People like you are the ones making Africans to hate each other. How do you know that ivorians do not feel at home in Nigeria, have you met an Ivorian that told you he or she was maltreated in Nigeria? There are millions of other Africans living in Nigeria with Nigerians peacefully without being treated differently.
@franktalkless8298 where in all Nigeria contry you can present us the same "neighborcity" like in Ivory Coast?
where in Lagos, in Abudja, in kano, etc....
And again did you have in Nigeria 10 ivorian people to do business like Nigerians in retails per example, like in Ivory Coast....
I mean the lie it's in your conscience bro...
I don't know why lot of people come from an other African contry and that living in our floor (I'm ebrier Abidjan it's my ancestors floor. ) they don't talk true....
Precision: it's correct Houphouët 1st ivorian president give Biafra space at Nigerians refugees..but talk true that it's EBRIE PEOPLE ACCEPTED TO KEEP FREE THIS SPACE FOR RECEIVED ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS NIGERIANS.
SO REMEMBER THAT ALSO!!!😊😊😊
ALL TOGETHER AFRICANS PEOPLES!!!😊😊😊😊
@@S_Mlakamon20 Let's just be real, in west africa, only Ivory Coast welcomes foreigners to this extent and they get 99% same rights as citizens right upon arrival. We are all one, but No other country allows this much in terms of freedom in business and the neighborhoods they create + control. It's actually a good hospitality but in every thing, excesses are not good. We all know here in africa, the other country prefer and prioritize their own first. Foreigners are welcome for tourism but not to be this established...its no secret
Thanks for creating this captivating video! I am a proud Lagosian, born in Surulere, Lagos. My grandpa, an engineer, hailed from Ghana and made his way to Lagos when he was in mid 20s.He got married to my paternal grandma who hailed from Isale Eko, Lagos. So, that makes my Dad a Lagosian.

Nigeria never treats foreign people badly Go to Ejigbo. Ivorian people live there do your search they have stayed for decades
they are alot of them in ejigbo (osun state) nigeria
as a Ghanaian I can tell you Ivorians are the most loveliest people in the whole of Africa. My 6 months stay over there in 2013 was a very crazy and lovely one. I miss Yamoussoukro and Bouaké.

Nigerians go EVERYWHERE.

Literally 😂😂
Yes i love ivorycoast bcuz they helped my father❤
Afrika unite and wake up
Yesss
First Nigerians, Yoruba migrants arrived in 1905. 90% of those selling meat in the markets in Abidjan are Yorubas.
not sure about that. many are Hausa from Nigeria and Niger
In fact since the first president of ivory coast NanNan Boigny, ivory coast has a liberal politic who allows all the people from all the countries around to move in freely and do they’re business. These people with time integrated very well to the country and since we give nationality to people who stay more than 5 years, nowadays you can find many Malian, Nigerian and all the people of the countries around who are now Ivorian. Ivory coast is the country in Africa where people migrate the most according to a French research. Today almost 1/3 of the population in Ivory Coast are foreigner including those who are naturalized Ivorian.
Hoping this will stop soon
@@deniseb3922 Why should it stop??? We are the 1st true Pan-African country on the continent. A country ahead of its time. Where everyone is welcome for the prosperity of all in the land.
@@deniseb3922 stop why? I'm definitely visiting the fastest growing economy in Africa very soon...
Because otherwise we are going to live what happened few years ago in SA …
And there is no reciprocity with most of other African countries…
Now it’s too much it has to stop for a while and we will see in few years
@@deniseb3922 Are you Ivorian?
Abidjan is beautiful 😍! I visited back when I lived in Togo.. gorgeous.. I have very wonderful memories and would love to go back some day..
It’s even now more beautiful and woww
I am Ivorian and Nigerians have been part of my life since a young age. Most of them are now Ivory Coast citizens because they have either one Ivorian parent or just introduced a legal request to get citizenship. The funny part is that I speak better English than most of my Nigerian friends because they grew up in Cote d'Ivoire among French speakers. What I love is that no matter the generation, they will speak their language to each other: Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo... I went to school with Adejare, Raji, Yekini, Boran and many more.
I love this ! You explained all and even remembered their names.. such a beautiful memory
Lovely video. Its so informative. Thank you. Keep it up
Really want to be in this country one day
The media ought to push videos like this out there for everyone to see. I’m a Nigerian living in Nigeria,I never knew Nigerians abroad practice communal living like this. Weldone Pharouk,you just gained a new subscriber!!
Wow, this is beautiful to see
Thanks so much! Have you been to Ivory Coast before?
@PharoukDamilola it's on my list. I love this country so much and if u speak French and listen to them u'll love them even more. They are so funny lol.
Beautiful to export their despicable tribalism to ivory coast?
This is true, when I visited Ivory coast and went here it felt like I was in Lagos or Ibadan .
There were a lot of them speaking Yoruba even though they speak other languages.
Well done, this is a very enlightening video.
I am glad you remembered even their names! You have such a beautiful memory
This lovely content. Well done Pharouk
Thank you! I really appreciate! Thanks for watching
So glad to see this . Nigerians are everywhere , they even gave a king here . Though resides in the diaspora , love how Nigerians are living here successfully . The Ejigbo people plenty . There us a market called forum . I love the brotherhood here . All you see is hospitality and strength of celebrating of diversity , love and unity . 😅😊😊😊😊😊

How do you apply? Open bank account?
Are you able to own land?
Please sorry if I am asking too many questions 😅
I love this
I always loved the nigerian in Ivory Coast. Hard working, keep to themselves and respectful ❤❤❤
are you sure of what you are saying? may be we are not talking about the same people. Nigerians of Ivory Coast were involved in the war France launched against Ivory coast in 2010-2011by helping the rebels and the French army kill millions of Ivorians every where in Ivory coast. this is what you are calling people keeping to themselves? Is this how you repay a country that give you hospitality? they should be grateful Ivorian are very nice people and do not practice xenophobia like in other countries! Otherwise they should have been kicked out the country like South Africa and other people are doing.
Then they will kick out millions of your people also living Nigeria...or u don't know we a place like this also in Nigeria where Ivorians are many?@@vickiev.7016

Not true, check your history well
Thanks for your video. I repeat Africa is one, a land without borders. We were given languages that were not ours and man-made borders came to exist. We should feel at home in any African country. Nigerians are present in every African country. Thank you Cote d'ivoire.
Thank you for another informative video.
Nigerians have been in Ivory Coast for many years so I don’t understand why all these force. Don’t you all remember that Ojukwu was once there? Infact, there is a place there called Biafra and before that those Ogbomosho women have been travelling there for years to trade or married and live there.
You are right
Nigerians are mainly from Edigbo in the State of former Oyo State. They mainly live in Bouaké, Ivoiry Coast. Myself I traveled from Edigbo to Ivoiry Coast via Bouaké.
Anywhere you are comfortable staying can be called home, thank you for.speaking Yoruba language, watching make me feel safe and secure 😂 even though i haven't been there, peaceful life, is better than the gbagbos there inNigeria everyday 😊. Edited to say do you have any ideas about business here and their reals estate and agriculture.
This is surprising, I had no clue lol, we’re really everywhere. Glad I learnt something new today
I spent 10 years in Nigeria as a foreigner and Nigerians don’t really care if you are a foreigner or not. They are constantly chasing their naira and don’t care about who you are.
Thanks for saying that.
Thanks for being truthful while some are here foaming through their xenophobic fingers, typing rubbish
😂😂😂
The tragic story about the slum called Biafrà in Ivory Coast was so called because that was the rwfuge outpost of Biafran children who were airlifted during the biafran war by the Red Cross whose documentation was lost and could not be returned to thier families. They are now adults who do not know their Nigerian roots so have become Ivorian. For year, the Nigerian Embassy was trying to trace their families but with little success.
Wow
Nigerians must know that the majority of ivorian are are,AKANs who hailed from Ashanti kingdom. The baole, the Akyei, Akyie people of Ivory coast , Their leader was a woman called Abla pokua a princess of Ashanti kingdom from the royal home of Ashanti Osei tutu. We speak similar languages, cultures. Welcome as Akans I ghana say Akwaaba the same as the the baole people say. So Ghana and Ivory coast are the real brothers to Nigerians.
How Nigerians are not apart of the akan ethnic group there brothers are in Cameroon Benin Niger not Ghana and Ivory Coast
I can assure you in all African continent or outside of continent there’s still much Yoruba descendant fr same as Hausa Igbo but Yoruba are much in and out of African diaspora and it even bigger than Africa itself
That is nice. Now maybe Nigerians can create a partnership for Nigerians yo immigrate to Ivory Coast more. Maybe the two can unite and build a superpower in Africa. This will decrease the Nigerian migration to the west.
French old timer viewing from France ! I used to work as an expat in french-speaking subsaharan countries between 1976 and 1989.
- Your video is VERY INTERESTING !
- Do you have statistics ? How many people in RCI-Cote-d’Ivoire with a nigerian ancestry ?
- Is the currency of RCI (Ivory Coast CFA franc) a good tool or a bad tool for nigerian business people ?
- Is medical care in RCI good or bad for nigerian expats ?
- Your video is a good "anthropological" work. It could be included in a PhD in a university.
There is statistic for the Nigerian ancestry and a population survey can be conducted for that…
The currency of RCI is a good tool for Nigerian business people..
The medical care in RCI is good for Nigerian expats.
We can have more conversation about this
Beautiful Video man.
You are an excellent documentary maker.❤ Thanks for such interesting videos.
Can you please make a documentary on Yusufari tulu toluene area please.❤
Thanks so much, I really appreciate.. Okay I will check into that
Great video, very informative. I loved that poor lost child in Adjamé Forum, and I had never in my life heard about Ejigbo before ! I only wished you had pressed the matter harder and went to interview the hustling girls in Bracodi, they are very kind and have many stories to share !
The fact is if Nigeria is okay,people will not be running away to other countries.
Father God,there is nothing you can not do,let there be a divine change in Nigeria iJN.
Its so sad that then people run to nigeria for better life,now nigerians are running away to other countries.

😂 you really know this thing! Ankara ye be 😂
back in the day the the time where the war start in biafra, Houphouet Boigny propose to the biafrai to come to Cote d'Ivoire.that is why we have so many niagerian.
If you think they are a lot of Nigerians in Côte d’Ivoire…wait until you go to Cameroon. They are many more
No surprise at all cos that is the English part of Cameroon, Southern Cameroons and it used to be a part of Nigeria until 1961 when they voted through a plebiscite to join French Cameroon.
Actually they are many more in cities like Douala. Most migrated after the civil war! This is why Nigerians are often called Biafran in Cameroon
I love this video

In Nigeria, we have many Ghanaians, Senegalese and Ivorians living and doing business. Current stats show that there are over 500,000 Ghanaians alone. But you will never hear a Nigerian make noise about this. Other Africans think Nigeria doesn't have immigrants. It's because we are not xenophobic. Same goes for Ivorians. They never cry about Nigerians in their country like other Africans do. How come the USA and Ivory Coast seem to have quality Nigerian immigrants? If your country has Nigerian criminals flooding in, it speaks volume of your corrupt police force.
Kindly check Côte d'Ivoire story , we are "Land of Hope ".

As a Nigeria u will fine peace in côte d'ivoire and benin republic
It’s very beautiful to see you Nigerians free and conduct business freely in Côte d’Ivoire. Question is can the opposite be done in Nigeria? I don’t think so. When you are a foreign living in Nigeria you can barely make it. Nigerian will sabotage and destroy your business and everything you own. I know what I am talking about. I am Ivorian. So, you Nigerian show hospitality to your fellow Africans and stop being very selfish. Otherwise we will use the reciprocal behaviors, even other countries will use the reciprocal behavior against you. Nigerian stop thinking you’re smarter than others; everybody is smart.

Ojkwuku Emeka was in exile in Abidjan. He lived there many years before returning to Nigeria. The naira used to he a very strong currency. One naira was like 200 frs cfa back then.
They are mostly Igbo biafran war refugees, the same as Ojukwu, who fled to Ivory Coast in exile with his family. Whereas Yoruba has ancient historical ties with Ivory Coast and Ghana dated as far back as 15th century.
what different does it make, those are Nigeria, they not indigene of that country
No Yoruba tribe indigenes in Ivory coast and Ghana. You are just Visitors like other tribe. It's just the same as Igbos and Ibibios in Cameroun and Equatorial Guinea.
