Even in Italy, landlords are rejecting Nigerians.
We as Nigerians also need to play our part by being responsible, law-abiding and respectful representatives of our country wherever we go.
Good point
So true..
The point is they don't want you there in the first place!!Then super under pay u are want hire u at all. So ppl turn to crime to survive! Just like in Dubai
Very good point and to be honest Nigerians do not have a good reputation ! This is what i have witnessed myself from many countries I have been. Very disappointing to see that we have amazing Nigerians out there
Other Nigerians are get an enter to Italy.
Im an Algerian living in dubai , and some of the best friends I have here in dubai are from Nigeria , I remember once I had an accident and there were some Nigerian pedestrians arround and they did their best to help me stand back on my feet and took me to hospital and pharmacy , I will never forget their favour
🇳🇬🇩🇿 best African countries
Really nice to meet you :) glad you made it in!
oh Hey Ali
Ali Abdal in the houseeeeeeee
Heyy Alii ..am a huge fan 🥰🥰
One my favourite RUclipsrs 🙌🏾
Ali!!!! Wow
The issue is that some Nigerians don't know how to behave themselves and this is affecting others, u can imagine going to another Country and misbehaving. My bro got denied a Visa too and he was going for a football scouting in Abu Dhab, they also banned Nigerians from entering Abu Dhabi
I had an experience here in the US, I found a wallet on a street in NYC, wallet had bunch of money, credit/debit cards, i.ds of all kinds, social security card. Obviously, it fell from the pocket of someone unknown to them, Cars were running across the wallet, I picked it, took to the police, they took my details and got in contact with the owner; owner was already going crazy. They invited him to get his wallet, he got there, he checked his wallet and demanded to see me so as to appreciate me in words and cash. I told the police to tell him that he shouldn't border about giving me something. I only told them to tell him "Am from Nigeria"..and that's how we do, I did it not to get appreciated but because it's the right thing to do. Wherever we find ourselves, let's try to promote this Nigerian brand.
God bless you. I am surprised nobody commented on your post. And they just gave you one like. Well, I am adding the second like. I cannot tell how many phones I have returned in a bank, in my office, etc. And money too. And yes, I am a Nigerian!
@@diligenceeke3023 Awesome! That's the way to go bro..
Precisely! And thank you for giving a good rep of us out there. Sadly, people ignore stories like this because they prefer the negative ones.
Please, do that even in South Africa.
Nice one, it shows how contentment and good value system promotes lovely and livable society. I saw a Nigerian too that picked money in dubai and said na Almighty did keep it for him to keep.imagine !!! .Poverty worldview and lack of good home training. My view
All the same u did well more by denying being rewarded in kind ,it still shows u have a perception that man's life doesn't consist in abundance of what he has .
So glad you didn’t miss this opportunity! Can’t wait to live in a world where Nigerians are respected on a Global level.
Youve got to show respect to your hosts to be respected. Stereotyping is wrong but man the bad apples are way too many all over the world.
Respect is earned. We have a long way to go.
@@Enikemi123 Exactly! I've traveled around the world on company's businesses and most of the countries do not respect Nigerians.
Stop waiting, do what you can in your own spaces
I sight you sir Fisayo
I’m an Emirati and I’ve met/studied with amazing Nigerian people abroad in USA.
Unfortunately the incident you included is only one of many cases in Dubai. I don’t know how this came to be but a lot of workers coming from Nigeria or on visit visas would participate in gang activities and theft here in Dubai. As this issue progressed the government took that unfortunate decision of making it difficult for men of that age group to enter Dubai. On the other hand there is many Nigerian workers I interact with daily and they are hard working honest people and always extremely well mannered.
Sad that the bad ones destroy it for the good ones. Damn I thought Dubai was the most safe place on earth
agree
they know very well magic also. and ghana
@@QueenQueenly it is that's why they're doing this to Nigerians😭to be more safe
Take a walk in Deira ,Ajman, Alnada mmmh see what is happening.
Am a Zambian RUclipsr and i have lived with Nigerians in different Countries before, you are the best people that anyone can live with because i find you to be very very welcoming and helpful people! You welcome all of us and so we also welcome you! Nigerians are true friends! and friends forever!
Thank you so much for this comment, as a Nigerian it means a lot after seeing the hate this comment session is filled with coming from our fellow Africans. When Nigeria is winning everyone cheers one Africa but see how everyone is distancing themselves. Ruined my day but you just saved it thank you one more time
Chachine!!!!!!!!!
Nigeria will be great again
Africa will be great again.
We still love Nigeria no matter the backlash overseas
When ?
Wodemaya comot body o
When? Nigeria is dead expired country .Nigeria can never great again
So glad that you were able to make it in the end 🔥. But also sad that there are the stereotypes which led to the rejection. Things will change 💪🏽
Unfortunately for good decent Nigerians, it's not just because of stereotypes but the actions of so many bad elements that wreak havoc and spoilt it for all Nigerians like it is here in SA. Anyway, Tayo is a good representation of what most Nigerians are really like and he loved and appreciated.
@@TheIrieman15 nobody cares about south africa that is not what the video is talking about.
Things will change! 🙏🏾
@@TayoAinaFilms Hey Chief... Change for the better or the worst? If for better, how?... What are the plans and strategy for this change?... Come to think of it do we even know the root cause of these behaviours from some Nigerians? Have a great day!
@@TO-xm1vh it's narrow mindedness
The problem is these Nigerians who mess things up for other Nigerians, they do stuff in other people's countries which they do in Nigeria, and get away with..You can't go to someone house and do what you do in your own house.. They need to change their mindset when they go abroad..
It’s good that you’re sharing your story. Thank you. People need to hear this.
Thank you for not giving up. This obviously a lesson we all need to learn from. To keep trying until we succeed.
I feel your pain Tayo. It's sickening to see Nigerians being stereotyped. The percentage of Nigerians in diaspora who do these wrong things are small, yet when people hear Nigeria, negative things comes to mind. I attended an engineering event yesterday in London and I was so shocked to see 90% of the speakers are Nigerians. These are Executive Directors and top managers in multinationals, yet it's the few percent of the bad Nigerians that the world sees.
Unfortunately the few rotten apples do enough damage to take attention from the good ones. It's not only in Dubai, people have this stigma across Africa and certain parts of Europe.
So saddening.
@@OlatundeAdegbola
Yupp, I myself have had a few bad experiences with Nigerians but I'm also aware of that the vast majority are law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, once you've had that one bad experience you keep your guard up and when you hear about similar incidents it only adds to your prejudice.
I don't mean to offend Nigerians, but the problems caused by Nigerians are happening almost all over the world, for example in Japan, specifically in Shinjuku and Kabukicho, where a lot of Nigerians have been arrested because of burglary cases and riots. Another examples happenin a third world country, (Indonesia) where a diplomat was arrested for resisting immigration officials when asked for a report and riots occurred at the Nigerian embassy in Jakarta.
I know not all Nigerians are like that but small things like that can damage the image of your country and your own people. I know your feelings styrotype by other countries like this I also feel it because I am a Muslim who is always styrotype as an terrorist
@@adiba9734 haha I happen to be Nigerian AND Muslim imagine that xD, I see all these narrow minded people doing all sorts of things for insignificant worldly gains and it sometimes affects me too even though i didnt do anything wrong but I just brush it off because I'm more focused on the hereafter. May Allah guide these fools ameen.
It happens everywhere..as a Native American we have bad stereo types as well..and it's sad ..keep faith and keep kind regardless .maybe those of us who aren't doing bad can change it..you actually have motivated me to do a documentary on my tribes and our lives..good bad and the ugly so thank you!!!
What I'm certain about is that the good Nigerians will not live amongst Nigerian neighborhoods in South Africa because of dodgy staff happening there..They won't even dare raise their children especially the girl child in those communities and that's how bad things are..Nigerians need to be honest in acknowledging the reason why other countries are not comfortable living amongst them without being in denial , defending themselves, blaming other countries giving them all sorts of names by pointing out the obvious problems.. The values , attitude and general conduct of any visitor xuld be acceptable and in comfort with the host..
Thank you for outlining our current situation (SA) so beautifully. The biggest problem is not acknowledging that the fellow brothers are really messing up other countries, it's only that day when a family member becomes the victim then they will understand. I feel Nigerians need to preach to fellow Nigerians because what the bad apples are doing is inhumane.
I am proud of you Tayo! You are one of the youths that will change our narrative. Keep on pushing and be safe!
Love from
Maryland, USA
I'm sorry you went through this Tayo, I'm glad you got to attend because you really belonged at this event, your content is stellar by any and every standard. I'm so proud of what you have done and doing, you're making Nigerians at home and in the diaspora so proud.
Very chilling story. Plus you had the perfect background music. I felt it.
Well done. You deserve the accolades for all the good content and work you put out. Congratulations
Can we acknowledge the determination in Tayo making him apply 3 times🔥✅ .
Yessssiirrrrrr
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
To be honest, we Nigerians don’t have few bad eggs. We have MANY bad eggs
Thank you for telling the truth.
I love my dear Nigerian family.
I am a Canadian/ Ghanaian and I know that Nigerians and Ghanaians are always together, but I will say one thing to Nigerians.
Please you guys should work hard to make your country look good.
instead of always disgracing the country. Your behaviour is not acceptable.
Taking millions of dollars from innocent people will always make the country look bad.
The majority of us Africans are very good and hard working people.
There's no perfect country on Earth.
There is no country that doesn't do bad things, but what you guys do is too much,
you shouldn't be too greedy.
Life is tough for everyone.
Please let us make Africa and her people look good. That is my advice to us all.
Thank you for being honest. Y'all have a lot of bad apples.
I think it is because we are so many. 1% of 250m is 2.5m and that's a whole lot.
@@lolaadetoki5741 🤣🤣🤣🤣 using my words against me😃
@@lolaadetoki5741 exactly, this is what people don't understand. The ratio of bad to good In Nigeria is low. But the number is large. We have outstanding records also in the same countries where we are disrespected.
This is awesome Tayo. Beyond the persistent problems, thank you for breaking the stereotype. You are setting up pace for many others (myself inclusive).
Happy to see you made it Tayo. By God's grace we would change the narrative of our country.
So many lessons to be learned from this video. Thank you for sharing.
It would be great to have a RUclipsrs creators program in Africa where all African RUclipsrs can meet up and share their wealth of wisdom
See, somebody is thinking. Bless up
This is a great idea
This is a great idea, they have a RUclips black in America but something is needed for Africans because black americans have had decades of media exposture and access to media.
that would be grear
Yes, that's a brilliant Idea.
Nigerians does not want to hear the truth, when other Africans complains about the behavior of nigerians in their countries, nigerians thinks we are jealous because they are hard workers and educated, E.g in SA
So glad you made it to the summit. Lets have the conversation regarding how the world views Nigeria. I believe it would be an eye opener.
Yayyyyy you were one of the speakers at the event which is so inspiring,thank God you didn't miss the event🙏🙏🙏Some people has given a bad image to the good ones which is being used classify everyone. We can do better please.
It's sad that some can ruin things for the innocent but the moral of the stories is not to give up, if you want something in your life you have togo get it
Were you there as well? Or you still travelling South America ?
Ace the man
Ace we want you to explore the continent bro!
Str8Up 💯
Greatness comes from small things and persistence. Ignore the stereotype and be the best version of yourself and in the process of being you. You represent Nigeria or any country you're from. Most especially we represent Afrikans. So we should stop stereotyping ourselves first. Change the image how we see ourselves and the world will see us how we see ourselves
There has never been a generation as talented and enterprising as this. Thank God you didn't miss it. I am so proud of you and the African RUclips ambassadors like Wode Maya, Miss Trudy, Vanessa Kanbi and co..
Hey man! This video almost made me cry. Keep repping the continent, we’re not perfect but we’re growing.
Let’s go!!!
I was so happy when I saw you on the same stage as casey it made me feel some type of warmth and urgency to start writting my script for a video , it's just crazy that being a creative filmmaker has taking you to more countries that I can count, I've always wanted to be a digital Nomad, but for a long time I felt that this dream was only meant for Americans but you have shown me that's a big lie. Infact I feel Nigerian creatives are one of the best in the world. Our country is a work in progress!!
We're climbing the ladder
Thanks 🙏🏾. I’m humbled. Sent you a mail too.
@@TayoAinaFilms I have recieved it sir and provided the necessary information, waiting for your response soon. 🙏❤
Wow, this is really so sad!. You were so resilient 👏 and I'm so glad God saw you through and you didn't miss out in the end!!!!
I'm so sorry about the bad experience. It really breaks my heart when I think of the way some bad eggs from Nigerians keep tarnishing our image abroad. Thank God you met up with the event.
Thank God that everything finally worked in your favor,
I pray and hope things get better,
Lovely video and thank You for sharing
That is very sad, but there is a bright side to it though, the experience led to the creation of this great video. I wish we do better as Nigerians outside and inside our country
I don't think people realise how much that Hushpuppi situation has put a red flag on Nigerian travellers - even if you have dual nationalities the stereotypes and mistreatment is going to reach an all time high
But Americans arrested for loan scams, Russians arrested for hacking, Italians and Brazilians for drugs is not affecting their countries. It is racism! Racists need a reason to be racists.
Because your black, anti black racism
Hushpuppi isn't the only scammer in the entire world. Why is what he did or didn't do affecting hundreds of millions of innocent Nigerians who had no part in his alleged crimes? America had a president who tried to overthrow the government of his duly-elected successor in a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. Does Dubai issue a blanket ban on white Americans coming to their country because of the actions of that one man? It is not a good excuse. Treat individual Nigerians individually, not blanket ban them for things they didn't even do!
@@jalabi99 THAT'S the problem it has made us the face of this fraudulent rubbish and its affecting the everyday traveller that just wants to go on a decent holiday and take a break with heir hard earned salary. Stigmas stick for a long time
His story was wild! This man LIVED the life 😂 😂 he really went all in
You got an awesome channel Tayo. Keep up the good work and positivity.
I'm happy you eventually got to attend. Keep sharing impactful stories Tayo!
Tayo am glad you keep pushing for your Visa till you get it, must always have a JUDAS not only in NIGERIA but everywhere glad you didn't miss the event.
Congratulations for what you do and represent. Keep flying.
I'm happy you made it to the summit at last... keep the fire burning bro
Thank you Tayo, your contents are very inspiring. Every country in the world have good and bad people.
This was quite emotional. I'm glad you didn't miss out on this opportunity. Well done!
In the early 2000s, there were no security patrols, it was said you could forget your bag and wallet on the bus or in a store, return hours even days and see your item intact.
Now in Dubai or Dheira, theft is on the rise, Nigerians see jewelry stores, banks, no security and think it is easy pickings.
Oh that can be so frustrating, Sorry For that, I was also watching to see you, since I saw Wode Maya and others, I really enjoy the summit, but thank God you later joined . God's will keep protecting you. AMEN
You speak naturally. It's simple, engaging and content loaded.
I thank God for you bro. Congratulations!!! It is well with us and all.Amen. Let's keep changing the narrative in our best ways for good because it is saddening.
Well done and well done bros mi.🗣👏👏👏
Too bad Tayo! I have best friends from Nigeria and I learn from them with shock how stereotypes about Nigerians even affect their ability to travel to fellow African countries. I’m really sorry about this. The world needs to do better!!! There are bad people everywhere. It doesn’t make the citizens of those countries bad people.
Nope! Nigerians need to let go of the victim card mentality and call their own citizens to order.
Please stop. Nigerian need to do better. If everyone doesn't want anything to do with you, then you're the problem. Most countries in the world don't want Nigerians in their countries. And this is based on thier own individual experiences with Nigerians. They need to start taking accountability for thier actions. Those who don't commit crime, enable it or don't condemned it. They need to fix themselves.
First off, I'm so glad to had come across this video. I'm a Nigerian Residing in Dubai, the stigmas and stereotypes placed on Nigerians here is crazy and unthinkable. Though there are valid reasons behind them, but as you said We not the worst people in the world, cause we have other nationalities committing same offenses Nigerians are committing, even worse. Unfortunately people see it differently when its coming from a black person, not to mention a Nigerian, then it will make the headlines. Racism still exist in Dubai. And its saddening. I worked at the just concluded event, EXPO2020 DUBAI, which i saw in the video. People get to enjoy my company and conversations and they'd want to know where I'm from which I'd tell them, I'm from Nigeria, then they'd stop talking to me. I then asked myself, even if we are the worst people on earth, at least meeting one good person from there shouldn't make a different? But seeing the way some of our people behave here sickens me. Mentioning some certain sets of people would be rude, I'm just gonna generalize it. Our people here lack courtesy and public etiquette. Even the ones employed misbehave on duty, not all though, some. We just need to educate ourselves of these things, cause we are so used to rough life living mentality that people still have to travel/migrate with it. Bringing cultism to another country is just way out of it, just to mention few. I was even planing on opening a Vlog on RUclips here and also on TikTok. Just to educate our people in diaspora how to behave and adapt to their new environment/home.
I think you should open that vlog. The world needs to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Well all you said here is nothing but the truth.
But let me start here, up till today I still believe that the bureau de change robbery by some Nigerians back then actually exposed Nigerians to these people, Arabians don't forgive easily.
Then our people after then, hmmmmm
Just like you said, trying to point fingers at some certain people can only make it worse because we know how we make defence in this country (religion, tribe, ethnicity, politics etc)
Even in all the accommodations I have stayed alone, I see how these people do things and give the I don't care attitude, in a state where alcohol is illegal, you just see them litre everywhere with alcoholic cans and bottles right from the top roof to the first floor, selling hard 💊, abortion 💊, robbing Arabs of their valuables through prostitution, how many can we even mention, then "CULTISM" 😭😭.
I have seen some grocery stores complaining of how our people spend fake money to them, seriously I don't understand how they go about all these things, even using fake plate numbers in the country like that.
I notice we try to use the excuse of not being the only bad country in there, but the fact remains that they have better and robust relationship with these other countries especially Pakistan 🇵🇰 India 🇮🇳 and Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
Some other African countries now claim Nigerian when caught in an act since they know that's the focus, only to get to know they lied after seeing their papers.
I actually left the country when I noticed that's not the place for me, I am an easy going person but if care is not taken anyone can be implicated.
I was lucky to escape a raid on my accommodation sometimes ago, all those found inside that day were parked and some never returned till I left.
I still believe the best way to help us as a nation is for the UAE 🇦🇪 government to help punish culprits of any crime accordingly.
Nigerians own re insane so u the good ones should talk about it and educate ur people Simplicita
thank you, my brother, I feel you but there is much to this than the way people perceive Nigerians in Dubai, Dubai makes more money from Nigeria than the rest of the Africans, I can say if the problem is about bad Nigerians, the Dubai govt. knows them and they can deal with the bad ones separately, why deny the good ones work permit on the basis of what the bad ones did? why keep approving tourist visas if you don't want Nigerians? why return the convicted ones back to Dubai when they can deport them, why is our govt. not saying anything to the Dubai govt over this? i know we need to do better out there but enough of pointing all the blames on our citizen. first I will say people judge Nigerians based on the negative things they read and see in the media they don't care about the good ones. I also live in Dubai I noticed any bad news from a black man is attached to a Nigerian like we are the only black nation in Dubai. i feel that segregation is more in Dubai than the rest of the world which is a result of Arabs Racism. Nigerians still remain the best black nation here in Dubai but we are been quickly judged by the bad ones they see and forget the good ones also exist. is there any nation that doesn't have good and bad people? I can tell you the atrocities the Asians e.g. Pakistan and Indians commit here in Dubai are more than the Nigerians but they won't talk about it. I've seen videos and comments from the reasonable ones who get close to Nigerians talk good things and said we are still the best black nation so I'll hold to that positivity and leave the negative ones.
@@sourcestvghuk9897 keep quiet all Nigerians know that Ghanaians is enemy of progress no solution only hate
I am not Nigerian but very proud of the positive work and image that you and a host of other African content creators and professionals put out there. I am really sorry that you had to go through what you did. It should be noted though that it is the primary responsibility of these countries to protect their citizens at all cost( unlike most African countries). I am sure that their decision to target an age range of a particular country is based on data and not random. Their country is a tourism hotspot partly because of safety/security and nothing is going to impede that success, even if it means innocent people like yourself being impacted. The problem lies squarely on our brothers and sisters who choose a life of crime, caring less as to how it affects others.
Im so glad that you catch it , im from UAE and i have some Nigerian friends , i love you and welcome anytime bro
I'm glad you finally got the opportunity to rep 🇳🇬 Hopefully the stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Let's keep being better people out there to the point the world can't deny us no more...
Woooow Tayo, I am so happy you were able to represent Nigeria, you've always been an inspiration to me. God bless you. It is high time Nigerians began to represent us well😤😤
This is really sad! However, it is fair and necessary for us (Nigerians) to look inward first and admit that we put ourselves in this condition. How are we treating ourselves in Nigeria or better still in Africa? Do we treat humans as humans? How are we being treated by our governments? A continent where the lives of human beings are not valued. The government of Nigeria should be ashamed. "Charity begins at home" According to Yoruba proverb " Akeregbe lo ma so ibiti a ma fi okun si lorun e". Hmmmm!
Yes true, I have nothing against Nigerians but they're also misbehaving here in Kenya. And you should also ask yourselves why your country has a problem with every other country in the world.
have a look Dr John Henrik Clarke on African Narrative: ruclips.net/video/EnJtYDNIui8/видео.html
It is not a government thing. It is an African thing and Africans are in African governments. Before they were employed by the government they were already Africans, Therefore if you were in the government you would be doing the same thing.
Stop blaming your government
Omg you met Yes Theory?! That's so awesome. I am a part of the seek discomfort community and it is something so special. So happy you were able to go on this trip
No giving up Nigerians, we will keep making the country and world proud.
Yes forward we go , one love ❤️
Yup !
Nigeria will always be my country very proud no matter all the naysayers
#NigeriaWeMove
Nigerians are just bein stigmatized for no reason.true there are so many that are criminally minded,they are a handful.si many other nationalities too are involved in heinous crimes,but they won't hammer it ,it's only Nigerians that they stigmatize.it stems from the fact that the West finds Nigerians very intelligent, hardworking,and we also have enterpreneural skills which they don't want in any black man.they believe nothing good comes from a black man but Nigerians excel in all fields of endeavours so they are afraid of our country.they are the ones distabilizing our country so we won't move forward bcos they don't want it.but I tell you we will emerge again and they will be shamed .that is when we at home learn not to vote for mediocrity and bad leaders bcos of the bribe they will offer but vote for good and visionary leaders,not leaders who will say presidency is a life long ambition that they have been nursing.those type of leaders dont have anything to offer but failure. Let us shine our eyes this time.
Nigeria ,my country is the best Country in the world despite her challenges.she will emerge again and she will overcome by the Grace of God Almighty.
Wow! This is sad, how can they do that when you have a summit to attend. Traveling with a Nigerian passport is a struggle. I'm glad you were able to finally travel.
Glad you were able to get in again. I have 🇳🇬 friends that have been accepted to UAE and UK. I know it’s not always easy but continue to do the right thing and work hard for anyone watching.
At the am so glad you finally made it to the event. We can still see the excitement in your eyes. Congrats 🎊🎈
I had a similar experience a few months ago. The sad thing about these "blanket rejections" is that honest people with good intentions to visit a country and explore are being profiled and refused entry for no fault of their own.
This is wrong in all spheres, this racism must stop. In every society, there are equal good and bad people. Sorry bro.
@@mosesptallah3933 its easy to say this , the way the people protecting a country think is different from the way you think.
silly as it maybe every country does this.
when nigeria reject people which they do you wont see them screaming racism
@@mosesptallah3933 why do we always jump on screaming racism on any small issue? Nigeria is notorious for rejecting Africans visas, deporting Africans and so on but I refuse to call Nigeria racist; it’s a souverain country that has its laws and as a foreign you can only accept what they decide.
It is quite unfortunate. Really hurts.
Why go to a place where one gets no respect... why go spend your Hard Earned Money? For what... to say that you have been there? Go watch Wode Maya's video on beautiful places to visit on the Continent and Help Develop Sub Sahara's Country TOURISM.
Hello Tayo , my name is Joy and I’m a Nigerian who is currently living here in Dubai.
Concerning the work permit it has been so for more than a year and and a lot of Nigerians have lost jobs or unable to get new jobs because of this and it is really sad.
.
So sorry you had to go through this stress to get your visa, but I’m glad you didn’t miss your summit
.
Keep doing an awesome job and I pray more of Gods grace over your life🤍🤍
Cheers for shedding more lights on the work permit issue. But why can't *some* Nigerians obey the laws of the land where they reside in? This is crazy!
Thank you 🙏🏾
is those useless cultist children's of devil .that Nigerian forces refused to handle instead they team with them thinking they are above the law is Dubai Nigeria I hate does cultists
@@wahabodusola6484 Here in Ghana it's even taken its toll on me because when I meet you and discover that you're a Nigerian, I also raise a defense system (like a resistance), because I'm curious to know where you're coming from and what you've come here to do. Yahoo Boys are here in their large numbers bruh and they keep increasing everyday, Hmmm, ...na wa O!!!
@@olatundeoladele5093 Governments are responsible for protecting their citizens from criminal elements. You can not blame governments for looking out for the interest of their people because someone is who not under their authority believes their are being stereotyped.
Nigerian government should do the homework properly. Government shouldn't allow criminals or people with criminal history to leave Nigeria. This should solve a lot of issues normal nigerian people are facing in other countries.
So what is the incentive for the Nigerian government to spend money to keep the criminals from leaving? 🤷🏾♀️
Will the Government follow Criminals to apply for Visas?..
I think rather that it's the individual Embassies that should do greater screening of potential Visitors to their Countries, and through a process of Interview, determine the suitability or otherwise of their Applications.
The UK, USA & other European countries do screen before granting Visas!!
I am a South African and I have a lot of friends from different African countries including Nigeria. I have also had the opportunity to travel to other African countries. Unfortunately some Nigerians here have really stained the reputation of hard working Nigerians especially with the drug dealing, prostitution issues. A lot of South Africans were understandably very upset when we lost our UK visa free status, which many attributed (whether justified or not) to Nigerians using fraudulent South African documents to get to the UK. It's really bad PR for Nigeria as much as Xenophobia is for our country. Hopefully someday all these stereotypes will be a thing of the past. Everyone should just behave accordingly and respect the laws when visiting or residing in other countries. It's not that difficult.
Same thing happened to Kenya. Our passport was highly respected. But Somalis and Nigerians fraudulently aquired Kenyan citizen. The end of visa free travel.☹️
@@catherinenyoro3953 Honestly a very upsetting thing.
We can't even talk about this as South Africans because they will call us Xenophobic.
@@catherinenyoro3953 the Kenyan passport is still respected
@@MKL614 Whats your point because even SA passport is still the third best in Africa and above kenya passport? the point here is that, our passport were supposed to rank higher than this by now
We have acculturated criminality. We relish and celebrate corruption. That is the issue.
Well done, Tayo! Well done for not giving up 👊🏾
He just kept going when others would have be dejected (understandably), I'm so proud, this event was made for creators like Tayo.
Wow Tayo, sorry to see your ordeal but glad you were able to make it & represent. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
Tayo, sorry to hear that was you're visa experience, but it's good that you eventually made it to the event. One of my best friends is Nigerian and she's such a blessing... there's good and bad people everywhere. And yes, you're right Dubai is expensive. Great editing on this video👏🏾
My heart goes out to my Nigerians out there, even on a regional scale (I'm from Benin Republic), many people view Nigeria and Nigerians under a bad light do to the generalization of negative things that have happened in the past involving Nigeria or Nigerians. I will nonetheless continue loving Nigeria and Africa as a whole
Visit South Africa and you will understand why Nigerians are rejected almost everywhere, their evil actions overshadow anything good that exist in the world
You just had to include that Xenophobic country into this. Why did your country have a high crime rate even before other Africans started living your country. The crime statistics even shows that Nigerians have lesser crime rates and arrests compared to most other nationals in your country. That got my wondering why your people only cry about Nigerians? Is there more to this allegation
@@Thomas-tr8mk the way South Africans complain about Nigerians, I had to look into it myself. Google says we are just 30,000 there and I couldn't believe it, even if you add illegals I don't think we would surpass 100,000 there and I thought we were like millions there, so this keeps me wondering what they have against us.
@@Thomas-tr8mk l wonder o 🤷♀️
But South African burning black people
Really happy for you that you get to attend the summit. Am Nigerian who lives in Dubai here it’s really been difficult getting a company to recognize us especially when we go out there for an interview we are always literally been sidelined and welcome other African nationalities and it’s really frustrating and makes so many people gets into overstay in the country and results to unnecessary fines. As of this moment now am currently looking for job for the stereotypical issues about being a Nigerian is really not helping matters at all
Keep giving us good content we love you Tayo
thank you for telling your story. love from Singapore.
It's quite unfortunate that Nigeria's reputation is so poor in several countries, hopefully our generation will change the narrative, glad you represented
❤❤❤
It's this generation making this reputation poor. Jobless youth who get into crime. Cultism is worse than ever to the point that even the fba knows about the black axe. If we had jobs for youth and better economic opportunists the youth would not be doing crime.
You can change the narrative by standing up against the bribery and corruption culture in Nigeria itself and not participating in it yourself.
I like your optimism about the future of the country. Keep the faith.
@@sunnya4310 so If there is no change in corruption does it mean you should go and practice cult in someone country this is making the living for we the Africans outside are suffering
I got rejected for a Tanzania visa few weeks ago. And I commented to a friend yesterday that I now understand why lots of Africans simply go to Dubai- the visa process is hassle free and nobody ever gets rejected. HAHAHA and then today I see that Tayo of all people got rejected for Dubai visa:):) Massive props to you bro for persevering and getting through in the end!!!
Keep inspiring us…..everything U said in this Vlog is on point. Well done 👍🏾
Wow we are happy you made it Tayo
I have been in South Africa for the last five years before making a decision to go back home to Malawi. Above 90% of Nigerians in South Africa are either selling drugs or doing online scams. Even a traffic officer advised me not to buy a car from any Nigerian Car Dealership because most of the cars are having criminal offenses that might get me into trouble. What you have experienced is sad because you had a good cause for going to Dubai. I just wish Nigerians could start behaving themselves well in other people's countries. However, there are more Nigerians that are doing bad things than those who are travelling for a good cause.
I wish all the best Tayo. Blessings.
Thank you for telling the truth ❤❤❤
So because of a few bad people, you stereotype thewhole country.
Above 90% of Nigerians you say?
How did you come up with your statistics?
You can do better with the stereotype.
@@odochiohia those who have been to South Africa knows that I am telling the truth. Don't catch feelings here, many nations speak of the bad things Nigerians do. In South Africa its even worse.
Well spoken… and some of us know what you mean.
This was a very good and much-needed video. Nigerians need to reprimand bad behavior from other Nigerians because this ruins reputations. Today, it's Nigerian men ages 20-35. I will not be surprised if this is expanded to the Nigerian women who go over there to become escorts.
@@Straight-forward_Fishing With South Africans, that's just a weird one. Sadly enough, 8 out of 10 times, when I hear SA talk about other Black Africans especially Nigerians, I'm jarred by the level of hate they seem to have.
Of course, not all South Africans are like that, but I could go to a video about Nigerians - could be a video about food or music - and there will be those hateful comments singling out Nigerians with the commenter so proud to say they are Africans.
The videos I've seen of the mistreatment of Black Africans in South Africa is also very disappointing.
Nigeria has many issues that need to be tackled starting from accountability, but hate is not the answer.
Tayo please keep on doing videos like this and let people out there know that we (Nigerians) are not what the medias say we are. Keep up the good work bro
Tayo is putting Nigeria on the Map, you are an international celebrity, am Glad it's not only our Nigerian musicians that are making us proud but also our creators like you ❤️
I'm so happy that you managed to make it in the end. However, I find it really sad that because of stereotypes, all Nigerians are branded as the same (by some countries). Your videos are really educational, because if it wasn't for you, people like myself, wouldn't be aware that such things happen. I truly hope that things will change.
Yes its true, this really is sad. But don't you think there is some truth with these stereotypes?
It is not stereotyping if it is the reality of peoples experiences with Nigerians. First step to change is acknowledgement! It’s hard to hear probably but necessary to move forward
As an African American...it is because of you that I am planning to visit Nigeria! I have watched your many vlogs and interviews and I have fallen in love with the country! Im so sorry that you had to endure what you endured to travel. I know that you must've paid an astronomical amount of money to travel at the last minute like that! You deserved to arrive and be treated with the same dignity as everyone else in that panel. Please continue to share and do the work that you're doing. You are being watched and you are effective! More importantly, you are loved!
I have a saying.
"Those who are determined to love me will see no wrong in me.
Those who are determined to hate me will see no good in me."
As African Americans...we also face stereotypes. One Black person can do something wrong and the whole group is expected to bear the burden.
I remember speaking to a middle aged Hispanic woman once who told me she didnt like Black people because someone Black bullied her in elementary school. So for 40+ years she harbored that feeling toward Black people because of something one Black person did to her!
Anyway...I think we have to develop the stance of Nehemiah (in the Bible). Keep doing the work. Keep working for change. Dont let the naysayers stop you from making your people...your country a better place.
Yay! You’re welcome to Nigeria anytime, come feel the hustling spirit of my people and take it back home ❤️❤️ thank you for this comment
You inspire me! Glad you made it!
Ahh bless, yeah it sad , I can see their perspective too but in your case thank goodness it got sorted & you made the event in the end.
I love what you are saying, it's a pity that not everyone will agree with you, I'm 🇿🇦 and I would say this being open minded helps on all sides and I would say also coming into someone's space one has to learn to conform to certain things and would like to also add if your countrymen are seen as being in collusion with wrongdoers by not condemning criminal acts and instead telling locals your perceived history about them no one will have sympathy, having said all this Nigerians are hardworking and smart but unfortunately the darkness always overshadows the light.
Thank God you were able to make it. On a lighter note Tayo is looking fresh oh!😅
So glad you made it to the summit as if you would buy me gift. Lolz.
I truly was so happy you didn't give up by this you have shown that if you don't give up you can surely get whatever you want. You are such an inspiration with all your stories, there is always something new to learn. I hope you would write a book or memoir some day. Peace.
Sorry you had to go through this . I’m glad you made it to the event. You were persistent on applying for the visas, and God came through.
There are so many things happening in the US and no one has ever used that to judge Americans. Everyone is so quick to stereotype Nigerians, especially some Africans.
We could see the power tussle between the UAE and Nigeria. All what these people want is a timid and Nigeria is not ready for that. We saw UK placed like 8 African countries on COVID restriction until they added Nigeria and Nigeria retaliated. They should keep stereotyping us, make Dem continue. Na their wahala
Thank you.. Na only you get sense for here..
When Nigerians succeeds u hear the same African preaching that we are all Africans stuff they are hypocrites
You have said it all. This is more of a political issue between Nigeria and Dubai. Thank God Nigeria is not a timid country. This is why I wish we don't breakup as a country.
For over 10 months now they are not giving Nigeria working permit it a pity nobody is talking for us
Very well said! We need our governments to stand up to these bullies..And I am happy Nigeria has stood up to UK and UAE..In UAE, they have many Nigerians with expired visas.. and especially in Sharjah..What is UAE doing about that? Why not enforce your laws? They won’t..they use most of them as cheap underground labour..but when they commit crimes, they come to complain..Hypocrites!!
When I think about Nigerians, I think about educated people, entrepreneurs and the entertainment industry. Nigerians are resilient and role models to not only Africans but the world. Much love from Ethiopia. 🇪🇹❤️🇳🇬
Nah...Not true
I think of scammers.
@@LJRoss-zv8hw That only mean that you don’t know any Nigerians or know what’s going on in Africa in terms of business, entertainment etc. You most likely haven’t travelled much either (outside the US).
@@daphneytennard3267 It’s my truth. Broaden your view and knowledge instead of consuming negative news.
@@ambessashield9360 Nigerians should make Nigeria great. You can't do that by leaving to get government benefits elsewhere.
Love to see what you do
Thank youuuu☺️
Hey man honestly you’re honestly great man like you’re gonna be great ! Niaja no dey carry last 🙏🏾
I am Zimbabwean , and I know a lot of good Nigerians . It's not just about that video you see that Dubai Denies Nigerian people visas . 90% of the time when there is a scam or crime that happens in Dubai there is a Nigerian , most of the ladies (street walkers) are Nigerian .
This has damaged the reputation of Nigeria , Nigerians struggle to get jobs or even open a bank account .
It's high time people see the true Nigeria , show some positive achievements , and everyone else should stop assuming
he got visa so why did he still making vides about visa? he wants to get views. people like him are the problem
@@jyde50 A good business man views bring in $$$$$
@@jenniferprince3153 so if am a business man and want to come to Nigeria, watching this video will make me come? are you ok?
@@jyde50 My comment has nothing to do with going to Nigeria. I was only replying to your comment that the video was only for views and unnecessary since he got the visa.
@@jenniferprince3153 OK. i get it.
As sad as this is, I'm almost relieved that it's not only South Africans who don't see it for Nigerians. It seems Nigerians that leave Nigeria go out to cause chaos everywhere they go. Of course its not all of them, but the ones that do, they cause enough damage.
Unfortunately Nigerian have a terrible reputation. The ones that do bad, they do really scary and terrible things. Scary enough to not want any Nigerians around. Stereotyping is still wrong.
I'm sure Nigeria will be great again,sorry you had to go through that stress,glad you went❤️
Kudos Tayo,more grace, more success
So sad to hear and am surprised why would a Nigerian be denied visa to dubai. This is not fair to see but am glad you finally got it. Well we have learnt from this video. Praying one day this Nigeria visa wahala will end. Nice video and you did great.
It is sad, unfair and unfortunate but our fellow Nigerians spoiling it for the rest of us truly don't give a damn. That's the hard truth.
Big up Bro, make Naija proud. At least you made it there. Keep the positive vibes flowing Bro.
Sorry to hear that man, best of luck tho! From 🇦🇪
