It's okay to be HUMBLE IN NAIJA, you just don't want to be MUMU and let crazy folks GET ONE UP ON YA, that's all. Humility is always a great quality to possess. But in Naija, you have to couple your humbleness with assertiveness, boldness, and street smarts too. You have to be cognizant and aware of what's happening with stuff in areas of business and personal affairs alike. So, be bold and fierce like a Lion, but don't loose your humility to a chaotic environment or become a victim of it. Rastafari Bless, One Love ! !
When You check Your fluids under the hood, don't forget to check the transmission fluid. The way You check the transmission fluid is to start Your vehicle and just leave it in park and leave it running. The dip stick for the transmission is close to Your firewall. The firewall is located close to the windshield and windshield wipers
Iveoma, your content lately are soo dope. I know you are working hard but you are really providing a much needed content for diaspora that is realistic. Love, love, love it!
In Naija, what you know and who you know is important. That is how people look at you so yes you have to make sure you exude confidence and do your homework before putting yourself out there. People only respect people who know their stuff and can go get it.
The jewel of this was the part about humbleness and it’s ineffectiveness on people. Great cultural insight. Most blacks won’t have a problem with that.
Wow @ all my videos. Thank you! I was suppose to visit Accra in Dec. I got a room and everything lol But I got sick so I couldn't go :( At this point, I don't know when I am going to come, definitely this year.
Girl I just got my hair done and was feeling myself in this video LOL It’s not too hard to find good braiders, but they are ROUGH on natural hair in the way they comb and blow dry it. So I think I am going to go to natural hair salon to take down my braids,wash blow dry my hair and then head to the braiders bc I refuse to allow them to rip out my hair anymore LOL REFUSE!! I can vlog the process too!
@@IveomaMedia lol please vlog that when you do I would definitely love to see that and I think others are curious as well thank you for sharing all of this Information with us great videos
I kind of very shocked at people thinks nigeria is nitmare,but nigeria had more millionaire than any Africa countries at top all over the world,people are scared to try new tins.also there are low stress citiez ,like portharcourt,calabar,warri,asaba,uyo cities in Nigeria,is all about making legit cash,,
Why are you shocked? Lol Nigerians talk down about their country everywhere and to everyone. Plus it is hard here for large segments of the population. It is true that Nigeria does have a lot of Nigerian millionaires! And there are low stress cities :)
@@IveomaMedia well said, nigeria is your passion , ability,about what you are doing, determine your success or failure,and above all who know who, in the system'but am glad you undstd the game,not for lazy people,thanks luv ,big luv uuuuuuu
Iveoma, I have seen your videos when you first came back to Nigeria, and now you look just amazing with your glowing skin. What is your secret? Please do tell. you can inbox me.
I am using soft black soap made in Nigeria. My aunt makes it but I am running out so I will just get it at the grocery store. It’s very easy to find once you are here.
It's Iveoma Awee okay. If there’s anyway i can contact you, please let me know. I love your channel!! It’s very informative and pleasant! I love your vibes!!
Iveoma, hopefully you don't and you won't ! ! But, you're not DRIVING YET in Lagos. You start driving after you've EXPERIENCED SARS, POPO, and AREA BOYS in Lagos, then and only then, are you DRIVING in Lagos. In the meantime though, keep having fun behind the WHEEL in Lagos. Yes, if they want crazy, give them crazy, but be careful though. 😁💪🏾💪🏾👍🏿👍🏿 One Love, Rastafari Bless ! ! Keep the contents comin'
@@IveomaMedia Oh, I see. My bad, I'll correct your name there. SARS, is another mode of oppression agents that they have in Lagos, just like the police. They might have been disbanded in recent months or so, but ask your folks over there to fill you in on SARS harassment in Lagos. Question though, do you know the difference in meaning of both names, Ijeoma and Iveoma ? ? I don't know, but I'm just wondering though. And, since you've already experienced Lagos Popo, I guess you're a CERTIFIED LAGOS DRIVER then. But now, you need to nail down the Lagos Lingo and Talk with proper pijeon accent, alongside a proper resident attitude to compliment your Lagos survival. Or, you already sabi speak proper Broken English ? ? Not the yéyé American Accent one o, I'm talking bout the ORIGINAL ONE ? ?
Do you think that it is really wise to drive in Naija, meaning, Lagos, and vlog at the same time? I don't think so ... But I guess that you would be the better judge on this than me ... Take care. Drive safely. Continue to drive defensively.
@@IveomaMedia like i am going through the same process with you. my acount at zenith bank took about 3 months to open only because after going in they opened it partially because i did not have a nigerian ID and so they said if i get a nigerian ID to come open it fully. did the BVN thing also. well 2 months after i went in and they had pity on me and fully opened it and gave me a bank card on the spot. i am waiting for my drivers license. the process takes 3 months. etc etc.
Yes I am waiting for my driver’s license too!! LOL @ pity!! Damn. See the banking wahala was serious for you!!’ I did wonder the process for someone without Nigeria ID, yours was long ooo. I know an American who opened their first account with First Bank and it took a week with an American ID.
Oh my gosh, you can just build stuff while there?? and then leave it when you go???? oh my goodness. Hopefully the landlord will pay you for modifying the house and poking all them holes omg. If I was renting my home and someone modified it, I'd be LIVIIIIIID. So is there a limitation to what can be modified and not and on paper just in case you end up getting sued??? omg Iveoma lol
Nah I am taking everything I added to that house when I leave other than the gas tank hole LOL I already told the Landlord that he needed to add a burglary, he refused so I told him that I am going to do it and rip it out from his house when I leave. Here in Nigeria, a tenant treats the house like their own. LOL @ pay me! That would not happen here.
So here SIM cards can also be tied to your bank accounts, utilities, etc. Mobile banking/money transfer are more advanced here than in the US. I do everything from my phone, I use my phone how i use credit cards in the US. I bought an iPhone that had a sim card reader. I kinda wish I bought an Android with a dual SIM card reader though LOL
@@IveomaMedia That's great. Do you think it would be a decent pace to raise kids? My husband is Nigerian and misses home. I'd be moving my whole family if we moved.
Hmm, I don’t know about Lagos. I think other smaller cities in Nigeria would be much better but honestly I think the same about NYC. I would not raise kids there either lol
Where is your mask you forgot your meds or has the virus that particular region yet girl be safe please oh I enjoyed your video breaking down the naira and the US dollar thank you so much

Great advice! I will start checking that too!!
Thats it! I'm moving to Lagos, Nigeria from Ohio, USA! Lol
ya welcome sis
He girl did you move yet? Coz I’m looking for a moving mate
Iveoma, your content lately are soo dope. I know you are working hard but you are really providing a much needed content for diaspora that is realistic. Love, love, love it!
Awww Thank you!!! I am creating content that I wished was out there already LOL
You are GLOWING! Not sure if it's due to the Naija climate or you pursuing your best life ;) great vid!
LOL. I am sweating and living my best life!
I think that's sweat sweetheart! 🤣😂🤣😂
Like literally!! You look so happy iveoma ❤️❤️
Try the Spectranet for your internet. I use that but I am on the mainland in Ikeja
This is a informative video about Nigeria. You are glowing and shining bright like a Diamond. 🌞
In Naija, what you know and who you know is important. That is how people look at you so yes you have to make sure you exude confidence and do your homework before putting yourself out there. People only respect people who know their stuff and can go get it.
Love your energy u give me motivation that I may can drive there n remember to stay on the right side of the road
Love how practical this was!
I love your Content, I want to move to Lagos with my Mom too
Everything you said is 💯 correct!
I love all your videos and you are a true badass to drive there!! Much respect! Lol. You look gorgeous as always.💜🌸
LOL Thank you so much!!
I use Smart as my wifi provider. It works very well.
Thank you for the heads up! I will check it out
Wow so proud of u ooo!!! U have guts to move to Naija from USA. Jisike I love ur videos
Whenever I'm in Nigeria, my brother drives me around. PERIOD! I just cant take the risk. -German guy
Can’t wait to watch more of these Lagos videos. Do you live alone? I can’t imagine living alone in Lagos.
More are coming! I do wish I got some roommates that live here so I could easily meet people through them lol
The jewel of this was the part about humbleness and it’s ineffectiveness on people. Great cultural insight. Most blacks won’t have a problem with that.
Most people are hugry no food when you eat well you're humble that is Nigeria for you
You know the landlords in Nigeria also don’t take deposits so to be fair, any damage left by the tenants will also be dealt with by the landlord.
I had a 100,000 naira deposit, if there is any damage he will take it out of that money. Landlords can take deposits ooo lol
@@IveomaMedia really? That's news to me. But I grew up in Ogun state and I have never lived in lagos so I assumed. Sorry about that
No problem, now I/anyone reading your comment knows that outside of Lagos, in Ogun State Landlords don’t take deposits. That’s good info.
O yess you are very aware 💯👍☝️🙏
Nigeria is hectic just hectic
Hi sis.been watching all your videos the first time I watch the Boris Kodjo video.When are you visitin ghana ? Keep up the good work sis.

Thinking of going to Nigeria to start a business any advice?
You could not pay me to drive in Lagos. It’s like playing Mortal Kombat, except it’s real.
🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
How is your experience with safety? Kidnapping, mugging, and so on?
How much do it cost to have a driver?
Go for spectranet internet
Iveoma, I have seen your videos when you first came back to Nigeria, and now you look just amazing with your glowing skin. What is your secret? Please do tell. you can inbox me.
I use black soap (the soft kind) and exfoliating bath gloves morning and night. The bath gloves changed my skin completely lol
@@IveomaMedia, Is it the Ghana black soap or the one that the market women prepare for you?
I am using soft black soap made in Nigeria. My aunt makes it but I am running out so I will just get it at the grocery store. It’s very easy to find once you are here.
Hi I wht did you move to Nigeria when lots of people are trying to leave? Just curious 🤔
Also, I was tired and wanted to move back home. It was always the plan.
How much electricity is constant to use the WIFI? Im lucky if i see NEPA 3 days a week.
I use a private electricity company, it’s “24/7”
Girl i wanna join your Facebook group🥺🥺! I love youre videos because i might be living in Nigeria. I’ll inbox u or something. God bless❤️
Aww FB disabled my account so My group is over for now.
It's Iveoma Awee okay. If there’s anyway i can contact you, please let me know. I love your channel!! It’s very informative and pleasant! I love your vibes!!
@@IveomaMedia Start a WhatsApp group.
All that have changed. You can get sim cards at the airport.
Yup @ changed. You can get a SIM card if you have a NIN now lol If you don’t have an NIN, no SIM card.
Iveoma, hopefully you don't and you won't ! ! But, you're not DRIVING YET in Lagos. You start driving after you've EXPERIENCED SARS, POPO, and AREA BOYS in Lagos, then and only then, are you DRIVING in Lagos. In the meantime though, keep having fun behind the WHEEL in Lagos.

My name is Iveoma LOL Yes ooo got to be careful ooo. I have experienced police bc I already got pulled over and harassed LOL what is SARS?

@@IveomaMedia SARS means State Anti Roberry Squad....
Is it true there are no stop lights in Nigeria
Who told you that? LOL Not true.
@@IveomaMedia when I was there there were no stop lights

Lol, I can talk to my friend and drive at the same time.
MY WIFI IS GREAT ITS CALLED SPECTRANET
What neighborhood do you live? I heard about Spectranet but don’t know if they service my area.
@@IveomaMedia I am at lekki phase 1. estate called Oba Oyekan Estate.
How are you liking Lagos? I remember when you moved a couple of months ago.

LOL @ pay me! That would not happen here.
Why on earth do they need to take finger prints for a damn cell phone SIM card? Is there anyway to get around that? It sounds very invasive
Nope @ around it. To cut down on fraud.
Fraud with just having a cell phone? They must got a new level type of fraud around there lol can you use your American iPhone there?
So here SIM cards can also be tied to your bank accounts, utilities, etc. Mobile banking/money transfer are more advanced here than in the US. I do everything from my phone, I use my phone how i use credit cards in the US.
I bought an iPhone that had a sim card reader. I kinda wish I bought an Android with a dual SIM card reader though LOL
If you are still having internet issues get yourself Spectranet or Ntel and thank me later
How do you like it now?
Today marks my 6th month being here and I luv it. I would LOVE it if corona never came to Nigeria lol I don’t move around much anymore.
@@IveomaMedia That's great. Do you think it would be a decent pace to raise kids? My husband is Nigerian and misses home. I'd be moving my whole family if we moved.
Hmm, I don’t know about Lagos. I think other smaller cities in Nigeria would be much better but honestly I think the same about NYC. I would not raise kids there either lol
