Our government is the worst I have ever seen in the entire planet. You don't allow vehicles and commercial buses to enter areas like these during working hours. There should be barriers to prevent them from entering these narrow streets for goodness sake.
in fact Balogun is a one way road and the cars have the priority technically here.
thanks a lot for sharing your point of view once more.
It is on Saturday boss, not work days! Tu comprehend?😂😂😂
You mean the people is the worst. They turn the entire place into a market. That's not civil.
We have the same problem in the Gambia too mate.
Ludo is now fully a Nigerian
Facts👌🏽
My Lagos! I miss you a lot!
I am so happy to be able to bring you back there during this video
Okay, I don't generally comment on anything, but you Ludo made my day. I have not been in my own country for years. Seeing it through your eyes is amazing. You even say Aunty when you are walking brings a smile to my face because, as I am sure you already know anyone older than you in Nigeria, he or she is an aunty or brother😅😊.
Just lovely. Thank you, brother ❤😊
Oga, thanks a lot for your warm feedback, you cannot imagine how it pleases me to read your feedback ! welcome on the channel and in the comment section, there are a lot more coming, feel free to check them :)
Nice street view.
That's Balogun market is one of the busiest in Lagos
thanks a lot David, I am glad to see you around the channel !
You help prove how kind people in Nigeria are. Thank you so much for these. 🌎
that's a big pleasure, cause yes ! if i have one thing I d like to put in front and show to the world with these videos, this is for sure how is Nigerian population and Nigeria for real : smiley, welcoming, nice, far from what's most of the time portrayed
They ain't kind,, they are dense and stupid like you are.
I see lots of Lexus vehicles in Lagos , the most dependable vehicles on the planet, you can drive them safely for years and years with just regular oil changes and brakes maintenance . You find Lexus in the most remote parts of planet with extreme climates, The key is no Turbo or EV. Just naturally aspired gas or diesel engines will last 300,000 miles and then some. Always, always basic maintenance must be performed on regular basis.
thanks a lot for sharing your feelings, I hope to see you for the next episode premiering soon ruclips.net/video/SuY8yi5Ic00/видео.htmlsi=sgEO01xSxW97j3DZ
This place has really changed since i left to US 43 yrs ago. This place just brought memory to where i used to walk, going down to Isale Eko. Good contents. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for your warm comment.
Yes Lagos is changing fast, and I feel since few years it is even acceleratingdon't miss the other videos coming if you want to see more.
.

thanks so much for your kind support as always !
Ludo I have watched many videos on Lagos. I always come back and watch yours again! I look forward to watching these videos every week! I find that the work you do is the most real! You show Lagos the way it is! And I thank you!
i really appreciate sister ! @@lizsmith952
Yo Ludo is a real nigerian LOL Respect bro what a badass!
thank you brother !!!
I love what you are doing Mr ludo exploring the different cities in Nigeria from Anuja to Lagos and so on. good job bro.i worked at balogun street years back but currently i am in Dubai
Big up greetings from Lagos Sir, thanks a lot for your kind words !
Seeing you chilling with the area boys, there is no doubt you have really blended into the society
ah ah ah yes this is one of the corner I know pretty well.
I like my nigerian people around, my friends, brothers and sisters, that s why i like to be in Naija. it is about sharing with people also
This is rubbish your thumbnails you called Lagos urban jungle that's diminished
I miss Lagos! Becos of this type of adrenaline vibes😊Ludo I've walked most of the places you passed through in this video, many corners of Balogun Market, Campbell street, Martins street, Marina etc well done bro, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! yes these belongs to the most famous and busy streets around ! I am really happy to be able to bring you there during december, to feel the vibes from home
Nice Vlog Mr Ludo, I enjoy watching. Ludo game? 😂😂😂 you are so funny ,thats the easiest way to describe your name. You said you've been in Nigeria for 11 years? Wow!
😁 yes O everybody remembers my name here, Ludo, baba Lulu, or baba lia...
yes this is a significant time in a life
@@Ludo_Liu Yeah!
On est vraiment plongé dans l'ambiance, c'est de la folie, que de monde ! Cette ville est une fourmilière humaine extrêmement vivante, tout à fait l'inverse des villes européennes. . Belle vidéo, bravo
I don't speak French, but by guessing, I agree with you. Merci al Ludo.
He does plunge us into huge, vibrant cities that differ vastly from huge cities in "the west." ❤
Very interesting, i guess this is more interactive than bike ride, you meet the people and we can feel the vibe of the city. Very very very intersting.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽💥💥💥
thank you so much
Wonderful vlog Mr Ludo. Beautiful and lovely people in the market. This was great to watch and thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching once again Mme Ade !
Great video seeing other part of the world, thank you 👍🏽
More to come!
I am glad to be back watching your travels. I see, you did not wait for me; you continued creating great contents. I will definitely check them out. 😊😊😊🎉
Welcome back!
Very busy from a pedestrians perspective. Thanks for showing.
What a task for a father! ... to buy a dress for a 11-year-old daughter. Well, maybe you'll succeed for now, but you don't in a couple of years. 🙂
9:10 That's how to drive 🙃 on your new and nice coloured bike.
The last part of the video was so warm-hearted.
aya this scooter is flying on the road, i don't like to be too fast in these streets can you never know who can cross the road at anytime. I am really happy you enjoyed the video till the end
💚🤍💚.Can’t wait to go back 💚🤍💚
i think I can understand that clearly...
Wasn't able to catch the live video brother but watching now. ✌️
Thanks for coming brother, you can enjoy the 4 K !
hope you did enjoy it
Hello Ludo I was just in Lagos I just got back last weekend I wanted to connect with you but I think you are not around in Lagos you probably was in Abuja or still in the western part of Nigeria. Love ❤️ your channel
I was there, this video, was shot last saturday :)
thanks so much for watching
So glad you're back biking, although it seems you really need to walk more! Hope your knees are ok.
When I noticed you'd only raised $50 out of the $1,300 needed for the bike, I decided to send you the whole lot, but it wouldn't go through, so I started with $100 - not knowing you'd already purchased one. Your loyal subscribers came thru for you, I guess, YAY!! The one you've got looks really snazzy and is sure to get you vlogging across the continent and creating more great content for a few more years. One Love.
Sir You are really generous, i don't know how to thank you !
To tell you the truth before this message you just wrote, I have collected 175 euros, (100 were yours) and 75 from 4 other generous friends of the yoiutube family.
I also have few incomes from the adds, and my personal work, so i decided to buy it on my own founds, without waiting for the completition of the fundraiser.
Yes thanks !!! I just learnt a new word "snazzy" ! yes this is it, it is really elegant and it wears the colors of Nigeria, I had to buy it. I am sure it/she (as we say in France) will become my best friend to create many videos for you
Reagrds from lagos, where I happily answer your message on my lunch break eating pap on the side :)
You're a kind soul God bless you abundantly
More of this please Mr Ludo
there are more to come !
thanks brother for the feedback !
wonderfull video ludo, thank you, i hope to experience it oneday in lige myself but if i never can i have experienced so many wonderfull.places through you
I hope you can experience it for real one day, it is an amazing city !
thanks so much for your kind words
I am not too sure about using the words , ‘jungle’ in your headline for a busy street in Lagos is wise. Will you have the same word for Oxford street in London or Pershing square in New York ?
Actually the term "concrete jungle" to refer to urban areas is quite common. For me, London is a concrete jungle. I've not been to New York, so I can't comment on that 🙂.
Yes western cities are often called concrete jungles,
not to mention the Trash Mountain NYC streets lol
Jungle can also be like living, vibrant, as well.
You should understand RUclips by now when it comes to video titles, don't take anything to heart literally
Relax on the sensitivity 😅😅😅. I'm Nigerian, and we've been here in Lagos forever. There's no doubt about the metaphor. It's a concrete jungle, and there's nothing to be sentimental about.😅
victor edwards, Yes I will use the same word to describe another concrete jungle. I hope you understand the point
Thanks for the video. I am about to visit Lagos with my Nigerian girlfriend. It will definitely be a bit of a culture shock to me. Being with my girlfriend who knows herself around will definitely make things way easier.
Have fun! Hope you will enjoy your visit !
Great Vlog Ludo.❤
Loved the market area. The lime juice. And ending with the point of sales and nice jollof rice.❤
Thanks for another exciting Vlog.❤
My pleasure 😊 Sir !
thanks a lot for the support !
Hey ludo I really appreciate watching your video here in Portland Oregon United States, I was close to tears watching your video because that balogun to cms is where I did my childhood I use to play soccer with no soccer boots on on the street on that balogun street that link to broad street and I left back in 2014 and haven’t been back and watching your video brings me a lots of memories, Thanks man and be safe 🙏🏾
thanks a lot for your comment, you also got me emotionnal reading this to tell you the truth. i am really happy to be able to bring you these memories. i definitively advice you to look at the video 10 dollars in a night in lagos, i did we weeks ago, it is in the same area, starting in VI but ending, in moloney Obalende, and then CMS, Campos street...
@@Ludo_Liu I have watched that too, and I like that one too
really love this video ludo!! keep up the good work
Thanks a ton!
Thank you, sir.
thanks a lot to be here
So beautiful
Thank you! Cheers! kindly check more videos on the channel
Idumota and Onitsha markets are some of the busiest human locations in the continent .... i just don't know which is busier !!
Gbagi market in Ibadan is also very busy too !!
Onitsha is something, I don't know if I stepped inside Gbagi, I did several in Ibadan, maybe was part of it. is it the one on a small hill, with narrow alleys going up from a road close to a railway ?
C’était bien apprécié.🙏🙏🙏🙏
merci beaucoup !!
I love this...
I love to travel.
I am also an aspiring female travel Vlogger and Ludo inspires me!
👍
thanks a lot 👍
Good man :)
is it ironic ? :)
thanks a lot for watching
Gostei, bem movimentado 👍👍👍.
muto obrigado !!!
Bro.. you are one brave French man. thanks a mil for doing this. really great work.!
I appreciate that!
Thanks 👍 much Mr. Ludo for your awesome immersion.
My pleasure! once more I am really happy to share these !
God bless.. you help so many there in Nigeria. Your like and angel to them I'll bet! Your amazing... I'm honored to have your support . You will always have mine..... 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
Mikey
thanks a lot brother
I have to say a big thank you to the people of nigeria and neighborliness countries. Thank you for accepting the conditions yous are made to live in. If it was not for you people, i would not be able to enjoy the technology and materialistic things i have today, thank you. Neither would everybody in the west! Thank you for not standing up and fighting back because if yous did the west world would crumble and we would not be able to afford anything. Thank you for allowing the major cooperations to loot your resources for the nice things i get to have, like i said if it was not for yous me and the west would not be able to have the nice things. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
WOW!
It seems to me that you have marvelous time with markets and cultures.
Children are so cute ☺️
It’s overcrowded in Lagos. Nobody harmed you. Heat Wave in Lagos! See ya next time 😊
Ohhh yes I love these places, you know me, I could be spending all my days in these lively streets.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video especially seeing Lagos in real time on foot. Also enjoyed your interaction with the people of Lagos Island. It was awesome from start to finish. Thank you for posting Ludo.
thanks so much, i am really glad to see your comment ! hope you will like the episode I am now editing for this coming Sunday !
Great video !. Have you considered filming 360° videos ? That would be awesome.
Yes I have, I even shot some already....
Yo Ludo Liu, in the old days Broad Street was the "Oxford St" of Lagos. And except for the CMS and Holly Cross, all the other grand Churches are on Broad Street. You can tell them apart by theirstructure.
thanks a lot for the info. I think one day I will do a tour and try to link as much possible historical informations about the island. I like that
Multan (Pakistan) and Damascus (Syria) are The Oldest Living Cities of The World 🌎
I d love to share some videos from this side .i was around Pakistan back in 2007 ….what an experience !
Puuuh that's a lot of people. I prefer price tags, shopping carts and Lidl shopping. Recommend this in Nigeria.
Sure, Lagos has it all, lots of stores and high end supermarkets
I love this atmosphere, it makes me feel alive !
and the prices are a lot more competitive than in supermarkets.
This market is giving me anxiety, lol
i think I can understand that, it gives me a lot of good vibes myself
Regards from Multan Pakistan
greetings from Nigeria
CMS and Marina used yo be the central business district before but now it turned out into a chaotic messy district like a market place. As such it is supposed to have a decent sidewalk with clean roads where people can walk more convinient.
i understand that this may be so anoying to see..; the situation in the market is not changing much...
I thought Nigeria was crazy until I saw a video on Indian trains. From bad to worse is always possible it seems
ayayayaya the sleeper class train in India is a real adventure...
I remember some amazing trips from delhi to kajuraho or delhi to varanasi...
@@Ludo_Liu Amazing. Something to be tried once in a lifetime for sure
Ludo, thanks for this video of isale Eko markets to the world. But i think your caption should read 'the Single Largest cluster shopping markel in Africa' if not in the world.
thanks a lot for watching
Unorganised chaos 😮
organized confusion I would say :)
I don't think a lemonade quenches thirst as much as water.
i love to mix a little of it in some very cold water
Hi Ludo, consider Touring South Africa next year (2024) with your Bike, you will increase the number of your Subs to over 100k within 4 video uploads. i have been following your channel for some time now but I am not impressed with the number of of your Subscribers. Come and tour Southern Africa next year for just a month or 2. It will do magic to your channel.
Ahhh yes, I wish I could be back to South Africa, and ride from cape town to camps bay and then boulder beach, or even take the metro to boulder's beach... and more ! this is a beautiful country.
Yes i was thinking about it, unfortunately I have so few days to spare, I am full time working on the side... here, but for sure one day you'll see S A inside my lens !
I definitely want to visit Nigeria but I am so afraid of crowds.
You definitively should visit ! There are many quiet places here where you can enjoy !
Very interesting. I always wondered how the distribution and money chain from Chinese makers of fake foods to such street vendors is. Who really makes the money? Who controls? Apart from that, Lagos is surely a very different place. Love your superb quality and nice quiet voice.
Interesting question yes. i understand that you meant products, goods, and not food.
thanks a lot for your warm comment regarding wat i create
Yes, sorry I meant of course PRODUCTS not foods. Such as tshirts, shoes, ... and it's the same in every street market around the world: Lagos, Cairo, Jakarta, Bangkok, ...
First :-)
I hope you enjoyed that one brother !
Some areas in Lahore and Karachi are like this
i like busy places like this !
I really appreciate this project, can you also show the library?
i don't understand
Every space is a market 😂
Welcome to Lagos
🖤!!
thank you very much !!!!
Please also visit and make long video of my City Multan at Pakistan
I would love to
Wow so overpopulated
welcome to lagos :)
The ministry of transportation and engineering has their work cutout for them. The congestion, bumper to bumper traffic and vehicles must be analyzed with reference to business output, employment success and opportunities for the speediest traffic flow. It can be done. Inshallah.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
thank you !
Motherland Africa 🙏🏽📚🏠😇💯🥰😍❤️🎁😍🥰😇🙏🏽❤️😍🥰!
yes o !!! thanks a lot
Ludo, what camera are you using sir,?
i use a go pro
Maybe you could get a wearable air conditioner or a portable neck fan.
These heats may not be good
i saw some people with this... i am fine without it , i just forgot the tissue to wipe my face that day
Ọmọ àgbà awo.
ese pupo Ore mi !
Ludo, I hate asking this, but do you find that you are treated different because of your colour? or do people just know you by now?
people really don't mind your skin color most of the time.
and to be franck, most of the time, if there is "a discrimination", it is a positive one, people here are really welcoming to foreigners
@@Ludo_Liu I love going to Lagos, I feel like I am coming home! Almost everyone is so nice!
Calling working people and crowded market places a urban jungle is disrespectful, these people are not animals, you should find a different country maybe Iceland or the Canada if your looking for creatures looks like business owners here.
I think you should be able to understand that this is a mathaphore about the city, and not it's people... In the same way as Delhi, Newyork, or Chongqing lagos is a urban jungle, and this once more is methaphoric.
@@Ludo_Liuthe fact you used that title and the comments of your people I've read and you're response tells me exactly the motive. It's a new day in Africa these people are not science experiments for you and your people to paint disgusting to the world. The lies and disrespect will be met at the door.
And this is coming from a Black American.
May you enjoy the beautiful sun of Africa 🌍
so you don't know me from anywhere, you bump on a video, you judge me ... all this based on one title you apparently dislike. @@trollthetruthand5458 check what I am doing and try to understand me before putting any fast biased judgement, with some unclear allusion about this or that
@@Ludo_Liu I won't entertain this I didn't bump into anything I watch a lot of blogs Czech effects,the best food channel with Sunny side, and African diaspora networks etc. I don't appreciate a market place being called a jungle where black people are working, you had a comment where a person stated (the people are chaotic and why do they love chaos) You liked and agreed . Don't assume I'm not aware because I don't have a picture on my profile I've seen the type this is why I replied, I hope you have a great experience and education in Africa.
@@trollthetruthand5458calm down will ya, this man has been in Nigeria for quite a long time and does a lot of exploring
The same name is used for other cities
Cities like new York r literally called concrete jungles
they seriously need sidewalks
thanks a lot for watching, Yes side walk is a problem, absent or occupied, it is difficult to manoever as a pedestrian
This is like in Nairobi right?
i would say that this is a lot more hectic here in lagos, and maybe safer at some point.
But how can you be calling someone's home a jungle? Not good enough. If i call your child a monkey, how would you feel? You are a good man but that heading needs adjustment pls
you maybe need adjustment to understand that this is metaphorical
at 2:01 whose statue is that to your right?
I am not sure in fact, let me check it again this week and let you know
Are you in the marine area of Lagos?
all this has been shot on lagos island Martin street broad street, balogun, CMS...
That looks like madness 😂
this is life at its best
Lagos would look much better without those ugly yellow buses.
ahhhh that s a difficult question as they are part of the city's soul
I like them as much as i hate them.... really difficult question
c'est très désordonné. Je pense. et les gens sont très occupés. c'est tous les jours comme ça.
c'est très fréquenté tous les jours oui, mais particulierement plus durant cette période avant les fêtes
So that look like a jungle to you. Remove that words, that's a market street.@ludo
this is a metaphor Sir
@@Ludo_Liu😂ludo, I apologize on behalf of my fellow countrymen
Ludo Liu or whatever you call yourself your title of this video is so wrong and demeaning. You called a whole city a jungle. This is merely a market place (not a JUNGLE) similar to any market in parts of Africa except for its population. This is unfortunate. Every city in the world has downtown and beautiful residential areas same as lagos, I take exception to your title of this video. Its really unfortunate that a foreigner like you will come to Nigeria and put up a video with a title to demarket the country the way you have done. As a matter of urgency, you MUST change the title of this video!
you MUST admit that this is a metaphor, a urban jungle... and not a jungle
He's not calling it a jungle it's a common metaphor
Just like how American cities are called concrete jungles
So rude of you for calling Lagos jungle 😒
Not at all - Metropolitan jungles are everywhere on earth 🌇
Urban jungles are common terminology for large cities
Even Nigerians refer to it as a “jungle”🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Jungle doesn’t mean anything. Jungle mean cities and outside of jungle (forests). Read the dictionary 😊
Go and educate yourself. It is clear you don't know Mr. Ludo. There is nothing wrong with the term. Agbaya!
ladys in legos cant smile
why that ?
The giant of Africa look like Dubai newyork of Africa so modern what Nigerian say in Nigerian RUclips channels.😂😂😂
thanks a lot for sharing your feelings and experience ! kindly join us for the next episode premiering soon ruclips.net/video/SuY8yi5Ic00/видео.htmlsi=aH9ODtoFxcyImaw3
That's worse than New York 😂
you mean, that's better than NY ?
Overpopulated urban jungle???!!! And you guys are telling him he did a good job????? Lol internalized anti blackness much?!
Metaphorical
So big market. Which market is it ?
it is balogun market
