In Nigeria when we say "vegetables" we actually mean green leaf, and not the other stuffs that qualify as vegetables too (carrots, cassava, lettuce, onion etc) And the tribal mark thing is just on the face, that culture is phasing out though Also the intestines thingy gets cleaned thoroughly, it's pretty good Btw you have to be aggressive to survive in Nigeria, if you acting all calm and collected, yeah sorry you'll only end up last in most scenarios... You gotta be tough
Every tribes in Nigeria ve their own tribal marks like me I have mine in my face and its my identification where I'm from . Am an Edo guy from the great Benin kingdom in Nigeria I have mine when I was like 5yrs old by my grandmother. May God bless her soul she died last year 113yrs . Luv you granny forever continue to rest in heaven 🙏🏾 solid granny
That whitish cereal he had in a bowl after the Abacha is called "Ogi" and it is made from grinded corn which is then fermented that gives it a slightly sour taste not millet. The reason why it is white is because they used white corn in making it. You can mix sugar/milk/chocolate powder into it for a more sweet taste
True. And it's not by accident that coastal West Africa is where you find the culture of 'tribal' marks, as that was where the slave ships berthed and took captives from.
The tribal mark is not just the face my grandmother has a whole palm tree drawn on her stomach. During her days it is a beauty standard. Love your channel ❤️❤️
15:51 - Shaki = Tripe (Tripe dish is a delicacy around the world, just cooked differently) 17:33 - Boli = Roasted plantain (NOT banana). BTW we do also eat banana and groundnut (peanut) combo
That’s why when people say Africa is so poor, they live with less than 2 dollars a day…. They actually have no idea what you can buy with only 1 dollar. It can be a lot. When you don’t want to eat local and want to go to a supermarket and those kind of thing. 2 dollars won’t be enough. Street food is huge in Africa. Every corners, every streets, lot of people sell food. Baked, fried, fresh…something. If you stick to local food and fruits. You can eat an entire week with 10 dollars. But people always forget the context.
The more I learn about other cultures, the more I'm convinced we all come from the same place.. my ancestors marked their faces too.. for tribal identification and also as a way of telling family history and also tribal heirarchy ❤
Bolé (Boli/Roasted plantain) and groundnuts (peanuts) are considered a snack over here in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The ultimate combo is Bolé and roasted fish...i know how many of my Lagosian friends have been converted to the "truth" 😀
Nigerians like food o, we dont joke with food. I saw this video of one of our Nigerian youtuber in UK where she showed their lunch on a Sunday afternoon and she said that was the heaviest food they ate that day and I was like "Whaaaat!, how can you call those snacks heavy?" That's like snacks to me in Nigeria and you call it heavy?. We like food abeg, we no wan wahala
Nice reaction guys, actually for the balance you pointed out, the people usually have a cloth folded and placed on their heads to pad whatever they carry. That gives the balance when the goods are on their heads.
Beautiful video I must say. Lagos captures cultural melting pot, every tribe is represented in that city that is home to over 25 million people (that is just the registered perm residents. If we have to count people that are actually in Lagos, it's over 30 million). The local food is the way to go. The restaurants and eat-ins are so expensive.
The tribal marks are given for many reasons Like a child whose realm of reincarnation wants to take back through illness, And for protection spiritually Some are for physical issues like against food poison, stroke , etc Just to mention a few And every ethnicity has their unique ways and difference of style marking Some are done on the face , hand , stomach etc
About the tribal mark, it's also given on other body parts like the chest, and back. Where i come from, the southern Nigeria (Bini tribe). It's sometimes given on the stomach from traditional health reasons.
They can't spend 100 dollars on street food in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria it's not possible. 100 dollars is almost 80,000 Naira when you change the currency Expensive restaurant you will on meal tho 😂 Thank you exploring our way of life 🙏🏾
You don't need a flat head to carry anything on it, many people roll up a large scarf/fabric, place it on their heads before putting the item on. It takes skill and practice! Lagos can be A LOT for Nigerians too, so it's okay. If you have a sensitive stomach, you also don't have to eat street food. I literally eat only roasted plaintain and roasted corn(sparingly), you can get almost every "street food" in restaurants too
Shaki is the stomach of the cow. I think cows have a four chambered stomach so the shaki "meat" can have different patterns on it depending on the part of stomach that it is.
I realllllyyyy like your channel, it's giving family friendly, cultural awareness plus giving a united front as husband and wife, common now👏 Personally I feel you guy should open another channel, with a more professional background like a news channels style and target some more deep rooted and sensitive stories from around the world. ❤️
C’mon now! We’re doing it for the culture!👏🏾👏🏾 We share discussions on this channel. We’ll aim to do some more often. We’ve been asked to do a podcast countless times, but we’re just a tad busy right now. Thanks for seeing us and being apart of the family!
Tribal marks on the face back sometimes feet meaning A tribal mark is a specific mark that comes in different shapes and sizes, common among the Yoruba tribe. It is used commonly for identification, beautification, and even for inoculation against childhood diseases.
In regards to the tribal marks… it’s mostly a tradition found in most ethnic groups across the Country and can be done in different parts of the body, depending on one’s ethnic group. In my case, I have one on the side of my stomach and one that run from my chest to my navel, and the one on my face are so small it’s hardly noticeable. (Owan, Edo State) 😊.
This guy was just on Joe rogan a few days ago. The show is hype! Anyone who's had a hotdog or sausage it's usually always wrapped in intestines. Sometimes animals skins.
I think they refer to shrimp 🦐 as crayfish . Their crayfish are ground dried shrimp it’s in powder form added to almost every soup as a spice, it is not crawfish 🦞
Most people with tribal marks have it on their faces. But I know another tribe in Nigeria, the Bini people, some of them have tribal marks on their belly. Tho some were given as part of the traditional treatment process when they were sick as kids
Cow intestines, shaki is just "tripe" Caribbean's will also be familiar with that, not sure if Afro Americans eat tripe, I know Jamaicans use it in manish water and other dishes
In D.R. Congo, for the tabwa (tribe) people; tribal marks were mainly for women only. They were to symbolise that the girl had become a woman and ready for marriage.
Bro is speaking the truth. If u live in Lagos and u are not wise. You cant be wise again😂😂😂 forgett!!!. Especially when Nigerian knows u are not Nigerian wise, u gonna bro!!! U are used😂😂😅
Nice to meet you guys. Tribal marks were the thing back in the day (no longer popular: Amen). It's usually on the face but sometimes on arms. The old generation got them but the new ones don't. You don't usually see young people with them anywhere this days. Very glad about that.
Reason for the marking was to help people not to get lost for ever. Those tribal marking where for identification, and was the reason some Yorubas taken into slavery by europeans were able to trace back their native home, people like Samuel Ajayi Crowther and Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies both had tribal marks when they were stolen/taken away by the europeans . Samuel Ajayi Crowther graduated with a PHD from oxford university and was the first black Bishop in the Anglican archdiocese. While Sarah Aina Forbes Bonetta Davies was the little african princess carried into slave ship but luckily adopted by Queen Victoria. Aina eventually got married to James Labulo Davies, a lagos business mogul who own merchant ship-liner in the 1800s.
How did they do street food and theres no fried yam, potatoes, plantain, bole with sauce, kpekere ( thinly sliced fried unripe plantain), then the biggest crime ,how can they try pap/ ogi/ akamu without trying Almighty AKARA( BEAN CAKES) ?😂
Yes one can get tribal marks on different parts of the body, buy most on the face, hands and legs. For tribal identity, family heritage, medical issue, for different purposes though. Once u see one having a tribal marks, u can easily identify where they are from and all that . But people don't really bother much abt these anymore, since phasing out since the late 90's
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Not collective.

Bravo! you guy's are changing the negative narrative about Africa and Africans.
Everything about Africa is same with different names,street foods,life style.One love Africa.love from Zambia 🇿🇲

Some parts of Nigeria actually use millet or Guinea corn, esp in the north
Oh yeah thats true.
Its Lagos and the pap is white that's why i said white corn because its more widely used there.
But, we Igbos call it Akamu btw... Everyone, with their own name for it
It's same as GRITS; only its texture is smooth like cream of wheat.
The tribal marks was also one of the defenses against slavery. Back in the day, If a child is lost, the marks can help with reuniting with the family.
True. And it's not by accident that coastal West Africa is where you find the culture of 'tribal' marks, as that was where the slave ships berthed and took captives from.

You're right
That Abacha at 7:50🤩 I'm Nigerian and have eaten a lot of Abacha, but that one looks sooo nice
All the food you saw there are organic and natural healthy and no chemical combination.
Yay! Another lovely Nigerian reaction!! 🔥🔥🔥.. shout out to the guy making these videos as well 👏🏾👏🏾
Lagos means everything to me, Lagos is Life
Same here
Port Harcourt is second, treasure base❤❤❤
Once you're big in Nigeria,then you're automatically big in every part of Africa.
That’s why when people say Africa is so poor, they live with less than 2 dollars a day….

Puff puff is similar to Jamaica's fried dumplings or festivals...fried dough
Awesome 👍 your channel is game changer, especially when you enlighten the world on positive attitude about Africa. Thanks for the videos ☺️👊🙏

Yeah u know the deal
Not Port Harcourt o. Port Harcourt uses a sauce. Bole sauce. Na Edo people and the West dey use groundnut.

Lagos is the best though, I love the rush

Nice one. Love from Coal city Nigeria
Lagos, a city of contrast. The good, the bad and the crazy 🤣. If you get street smarts here nobody can fool or intimidate you anywhere in the world
I swear 😂😂😂
I am a Yoruba man, I love those street food....
Yummy and soft, sweet and hmmmmmm

We begin as babies doing this in our play time 😂😂❤
In Nigeria, roots are not considered vegetables. So food stuff like yam, cassava & the likes are not seen as vegetable. The exception is carrots.
It does not taste like cornbread, they make it like baking bread but fried instead of baking it.
Fun fact Sonny actually had a show on the Travel Channel but it got cancelled. I think we benefitted since we get TV studio quality content
One thing people on other continent don't know is . People on African is living there life normal as other people in other continent.
BEFRS is my favorite RUclips channel. I recommend checking out his Madagascar trip as well as his videos from his adopted homeland of Vietnam.
Please visit Port Harcourt if you want proper bole
We eat it with a nice tomato sauce and dried fish
We have the best bole in Nigeria and the world

Different varieties of food in Nigeria.....yummy
Funny how I am watching this, while currently eating roasted plantain.😂😂😂
Some tribes have it on their arms like the people of OWO Kingdom in Ondo State Nigeria in which the king's palace is the largest in Africa.
Tribal marks differs according to your culture,some are in the upper arm , stomach and face
Like I told my American friend,we all eat the same thing,we just cook and prepare it differently that all.
Don't be scared wifeee. .😂😂 you will love it 💕
Hollering is definitely expected in some inner city areas... "SERVE! Gimme a large food, fry chicken and oxtail gravy deh!" lol
She mentioned "Shaki" that's the stomach, it's the best part
I don't know why lagos people eat bole with groundnut. It's really odd😅
I miss Abacha, been ages I had it & am even in Nigeria

Tribal marks are mostly on the face, but some tribes have it on the forearm is for beauty and identification.

The pap ( pudding) is made from corn not millet
it can also be made from millet
Exactly what I was about to say
It can also be made from sorghum
Cow intestines, shaki is just "tripe" Caribbean's will also be familiar with that, not sure if Afro Americans eat tripe, I know Jamaicans use it in manish water and other dishes
Lagos is fun and lively
Boli miss it so much 😢

Tribal marks are not just put on faces alone, it could be on the belly, waist ,hand or other parts of the body. Face is the most common though
Some people get tribal marks on their arms in patterns like tattoos and painted with a green pigment not only on the face.
