I Visited Nigeria’s Biggest City (Avoid These Men) 🇳🇬
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria, is a bustling metropolis known for its vibrant energy. Situated along the Atlantic Ocean, it boasts stunning beaches and a diverse culinary scene. Today, I experience its lively markets for the first time. Now I'm not gonna lie, you'll see in this video that I've encountered many moments of intensity, specifically when some of the locals approached me asking for money. It was a stark reminder of the economic disparities that exist in this dynamic city, and I'll share with you how I navigated these encounters with the utmost respect and understanding.
Despite these moments, Lagos stole a piece of my heart with its warmth, resilience, and unwavering spirit. Join me as I navigate through the colorful markets, intense interactions, while immersing myself in the rhythmic beats of Afrobeat music pulsating through the air.

I cannot imagine how stressful it is with all those aggressive interactions. Even the friendly people it's all high energy. You handle it well.
Lol😂I'm Nigerian and this is how we are. Always happy and high on energy. It's not stressful nor weird if you understand us.
Besides this is not the capital of Nigeria
@@feliciaolojo Trust me, it would start to stress me out after about 40 minutes max, even if I understood the culture. I can't suddenly change my lifestyle and habits over the course of a few hours.
Noise n dirty streets in problem not to mention others
@@feliciaolojo even if it's the capital at-least nobody is collecting people Rolex or wallet like New York or London those are the two place have been and I experience it first hand lol
@@user-fg1gv7cm1m Those foolish RUclipsrs knows what they are aiming for. Knowing well they will be ignored in the affluent area, they preemptively made a visit to the no- so-good area bcuz they know they will attract viewers. It is utterly sickening.
As a Nigerian I don't like to see my people act stupidly especially to strangers. I'm glad you met some good people ❤
👍❤
Your from Pakistan ?
I'm from Nigeria 🇳🇬
🤣🤣🤣 no bro
Why you don´t clean in Nigeria?
19:37 The lady was saying that if you gave out money to everyone then you wouldn’t have any left for yourself. She wasn’t saying give money, she was saying don’t give money. ☺️👍🏾
Thanks for the clarification ❤
@@olivemazumder9348 you’re welcome ☺️
thank you for that! glad that's cleared out
@@harryjaggardtravel You’re very welcome ☺️ 😊 I love your channel. Be safe❤️
Am proud of you bro at least you survived...😂
You’re getting much better at standing your ground, & it makes for more realistic experiences. Well done lad, be safe.
He's in their territory lmfao
You can't beat Africa 1D1OT
Okay and thanks
@@ITGETLIKEDAT
Agree agreed 💯
@@ITGETLIKEDAThe is in the streets.
Mohammed was really helpful.. a true representation of what a Nigerian is and should be. . composed, enlightened and comtempt
The guy in white trying to extort you are symptomatic of a deeper issues we deal with in Nigeria glad you stood your ground
Correct. It's a deeper issue indeed: almost everyone tries to take advantage of you & extort money from u in Nigeria.
What I said in the last episode is correct, you are a witty and humorous person,
so you can handle those conflicts and embarrassments calmly!
Your videos are of great help in marketing this country!
Thank you for introducing Nigeria, a country we are not familiar with!
Hope you keep up the good work and stay positive! 👍😍🙏
I live in NIGERIA 1987/90.
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
THEY TREAT U LIKE A KING.
YES, YOU HAVE TO BE ALWAYS CAREFULL.
thank you so much Gianni, really appreciate it!
@@harryjaggardtravel It is my honor, thanks to you too!
Take good care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
After watching his videos nobody is going to visit this mess of a country
@shivamsharma-qh5dr Don’t worry too much, Harry has been there, more and more people are going!
I like the "I am from Nigeria" responses whenever he asked "Are you from Lagos?". ❤
🙏🙏🙏
😂😂@@harryjaggardtravel
Iykyk 😂
Today I subscribe your channel love ur video brother and ur kindness lot of love from india❤❤❤❤❤@@harryjaggardtravel
Yes ..nothing like are you from Lagos.. ??? The question is are a Nigerian?? Yes
Big respect to Mohammed for genuinely looking out for him 👊
We should raise some cash for him
the muslim way :)
He’s a great guy
@@jamess9808 yes harry do this ill donate
@@IronMike777 And yet over 40k terrorist attacks in last 25 years around the world and many Christians killed far from religion of peace
5k . That's very nice of you . I like the fact that the shoe maker was honest regardless of the fact that u were a foreigner. Nice one
I live in France and for my first trip outside Europe, I chose Nigeria (Lagos) this year.
U re mostly welcome
Great mistake 😂
Tu devrais essayer l'Afrique francophone les gens sont trop gentils... tout dépend du pays bien sûr.
Maybe you have Nigerian blood that is why. I would never dream of going there.
Are u serious? Good luck (you will need it)
Must be exhausting being constantly harassed for money. You're far more patient than I'd be mate 👍🙂🇦🇺
Nah that's because he's from Europe. I'm a Nigerian and alot nigerians don't harass/beg tourists or citizens for money. He went to the hood of lagos(lagos is not our capital city) and that's where most uneducated and impoverished civilians reside in lagos state and also touts / hoodlums live there too. Nigeria is home to 36 states and each state is distinct and amazing and what you saw in the video does not represent in any way how the rest of the states in nigeria including lagos state. With that being said, lagos state is very beautiful and there is bad sides and good side too, the place Harry visited is the bad side.
@@J_Abraham Thanks for the clarity. Appreciated 🙏
@@J_Abraham exactly
Lagos is not Nigeria's Capital, Abuja is.
Plus you went to an area in LAGOS where you find lots of hoodlum, why dont you go to other calmer areas.
it's a skill that' I'm really proud of to be honest

You are really very brave Harry 😘🙏
Like herne hill
much love mate
Hats off to you for standing your ground, nice of you keep saying people are so friendly on video when in reality all we can see as a audience is people trying to take your money. Alot of poverty in Nigeria 🇳🇬 I hope the government gets better for the people who live there
Giving that northern shoe repairer an increase from his due of N100 to N5000 is a FANTASTIC LOT. AND THAT IS QUITE VERY GENEROUS OF YOU. Cheers.
Hi Harry little correction Lagos is not the capital of Nigeria, Abuja is.
And glad you stood your grounds with those thugs who keep asking for money.
And I must say I love how u able to discern nice people and you tip them with out being coerced into giving them money. Truly a standup guy. I have enjoyed ur originality.
🇳🇬🇳🇬
You earned a sub today. Your handling of potential conflicts is amazing
wow thanks so much!
@@harryjaggardtravel you welcome Harry. Been binging your videos since this one. Well done lad.
Thanks Harry for showing n doing this blog it’s informative n educational. Thank you agin for being so brave Cairns Australia
you're so brave Harry. you can handle very hard situations.
much love~
Love from morroco to Nigerian brothers
much love!
Thanks from Nigeria 🇳🇬
You've got some real guts to go to these places 😮 respect! Great videos.
I'm here all my life and still alive. You don't need guts. It's not as dangerous as main stream media portrate us and that's disheartening
That Muslim guide was really good person, he is helping him to be safe take his security.
One of your best episodes man.
Amazing video brother thanks for visiting my country ❤
My pleasure 😊
Hey, I MET NIGERIANS YESTERDAY AND BOUGHT THEM COFFEE.
BC THEY ARE NIGERIANS.
I LIVE IN NIGERIA 1987-90.
I WAS TREATED LIKE A KING...ZERO CENTS IN MY POCKET.
"OBALANDE, IKOYI, IKEJA, AWELEWO RD. BARAK..."
I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM.
FROM ERITREA NOW IN CANADA.
Great video again ! 😊❤🇧🇦
Not everyone in nigeria begs for money, stay away from Hostile market places. , try the other side of nigeria where people are making it happen it happen. Am sure you're aware of all the opportunities in lagos, but either they're too poor or too blind to see, amazing
Not everyone. Maybe 90%
@@JJJ-ok7ncyou are Crazy
i said the same thing , many of these vlogers come to the motherland and only show the bad places
Please let them say the truth africa government are worse corrupt thief's the same in Ghana almost 90 percent of Nigerians are suffering so let them say the truth.
Ignorance is such a disease. First of all Lagos isn't the capital, secondly that place is like a down town market place and thirdly if the poor are begging for obvious reasons , what do you say about the elite in the UK begging for Nigerians to bring their money for studies; manpower to boast the economy, not forgetting the resources constantly in demand by the so called elite in foreign nations. I think people should refrain from comments they cannot back up but rather give a balanced view of things, that's a fairer assessment.
lots of love Harry . I can explore new places through your videos. keep it up and take care.
thank you for the love mate
This guy really tried, as a Nigerian myself, i hardly go to this area or part of Lagos.
Thumb up for you mate 💪
Very sad 😢. Be careful ! Great video Harry thanks
Nice thanks for this Lagos island guyssddsds.i love my Nigeria abeggg
Julius from south Africa also said many thinks Nigerians are aggressive but in reality that's how they talk..if a guy replies you might think he wanna start a fight,good job oyinbo.
Haha 😂 that's our nature and we're very diverse country.
That's just us.. You should also raise ur voice too and it will end up in laughter
Great content mate big thumbs up. Keep happy keep safe.
Keep it up Harry. Stay safe. Watching from Birmingham..(Erdington).
احذر من الناس الذين يسيرون خلفك تحياتي من العراق 🇮🇶
Very nice video👏It's good to know more about Nigeria... beautiful country! The only thing not so good is that the people over there seems to be very friendly, but all the "kindness" should be paid out.
Most definitely
Harry.... nice one...I love the way you stood your ground with those few crooks
The guy shouting „you done come back again“ at 07:44 was saying something like „ohh you‘re here again“ in normal english. He was speaking pidgin, for a british it would sound like „dont come back again“😂😂😂
Exactly
Very very true
I heard dont come back again.
@@flowrepins6663 cause you're not familiar with pidgin English. He was asking or confirming that he has come back again. It's like someone not use to Americans way of acknowledging a "Thank you" with "You're welcome". The person saying the thank you might start wondering where did I go that he or she is welcoming me from. Every culture has its way of speaking.
That's true, whoever that doesn't understand broken English would think he said don't come back again, but what he really said was you have come back again lol
Very sad, how the Nigerian government has let down its citizens 😢😢😢…hope better days are ahead for the people of Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏🏾👍
Hey this is not all Nigeria, he goes to the hustlers that is why , why not show people the cities
Are you ashamed of the hustlers @@amandaeguale1641 ? Is it not part of your country?
They vote for corrupt leaders n those leaders only loot n buy houses for their families outside nigeria
Our African leaders had let us down! Specially Tinibu!
Your government did not let you down?? Which country are you from ..
Im I'm enjoying this African vlogs. Stay safe Harry
Your guide was amazing
I really enjoy your videos they make me happy ❤
So this is the richest and the most prosperous country in Africa ?
Great video Harry! Positivity ✊
Appreciate it!
We need a part 2 of that
Thanks 🙏 for the visit, 🎉🎉🎉
Harry, you are such a brave lots of love from Nepal ❤
Man I don't know what to say... I used to walk those streets, but to see the level of depravity is disheartening. Glad you stood your ground by not just doling out money to just anyone.
People in Lagos are the hardest working in the world. They are courteous and always helpful. Experts say Nigeria will be one of the most important nations in a the world in a few decades.
Love your adventures great ❤
Harry you handled each of those situations great! You were able to get out of situations that could have been very dfficult. Stay safe out there on those Nigerian streets!
With help from his paid “security”. Hahha
Thank you!
You really must have nerves of steel to have dealt with such overwhelming situations. The Nigerian Series has been wild! Kudos to you!!🙌
These foolish RUclipsrs knew what they are aiming for. Knowing well they will be ignored in the affluent area, they preemptively made a visit to the no- so-good area bcuz they know they will attract viewers. It is utterly sickening.

Hi.....Harry...u r a innocent boy I like when u ha..ha..do . good smile brother ❤ from Nepal 🇳🇵
Harry Jaggard you are daring, brave in dangerous place remain friendly in dealing incredible vlog
much love mate
Dangerous place? I guess getting stabbed in Europe or getting shot in the US is not dangerous. You guys are just pathetic with your mindset. Utter ignorance. SMH
Harry you are a good man. God bless you. 💕
Nice video. Come visit Kyrgyzstan too, the heart of Central Asia👍👍👍
We appreciate the experience
love nigeria from bangladesh
we have huge bangladeshis in south africa egypt
we love africa very much
many nigerians even study in bangladesh peacefully
Watching from Pretoria South Africa 🇿🇦. I just subscribed to your channel Harry. Wo0ow! Awesome content. Why are people asking for money though!? You handled it so well.
i had very good laugh watching. one of the best video
Watching from Mombasa Kenya 🇰🇪
I have been to Nigeria 4 times & I love it , I got close to loads of people & made to feel at home 🏠, it really is my second home 💚🤍💛
much love!
Harry your video editing improved alot keep it up 👍👍
Good video Harry. Good job. Be safe. ❤
Don't let people molest you lad. Be firm have some boundaries. You're the type of traveller to end up kidnapped, robbed or injured in these places.
Edit - I'm not saying Harry's a wimp or anything like that. The man's got courage and balls. I'm saying lack of situational awareness, no fighting skills and over familiarity with strangers in a place like Nigeria is risky.
I disagree, i think he's more firm and tough than some of the African American youtubers that come to Nigeria,
one thing I will say is he should be a little more aggressive, especially when that drunk guy was touching his hair. But overall, he's definitely not the wimp you make him out to be.
Also, you can't be too hostile or loud in that market, you don't want to attract a lot of attention or make people around you annoyed by your camera presence.
@@Rs2Hackzltd Nowhere did I say or insinuate he was a wimp. You should redefine or learn the definition.
@@Probabilityislife You said don't "let people molest you" and that he's the type of traveler to end up being robbed, kidnapped or injured, insinuating he's a wimp or doesn't know how to carry himself? just be quiet bro
Are you suggesting that Harry is not an Alpha male?
@@usmania79👍
Dude is supposed to have a guide! Lol. Like those touts getting too close for comfort at the end of the video, the presence of someone who knows things will deter them.
Great job!
Bravo, Harry.
Un saluto dall' Italia.
Friendly Mohammed is great. I think another RUclipsr had visited him as well
Nigerians are so kind and friendly 😊
Thank you Harry. 👍👍👍👍👍
