This was painful to watch,I grew up in Benin city,Ramat Park,Ikpoba Hill,Airport Road,Ring Road all look despicable and dilapidated now. The fact that your cousin(just like most home based Nigerians)set the standards so low for their politicians is just disheartening.

My sister is true... I was in Nigeria for 2months... The begging start from the airport workers... I was so ashamed... There is so much poverty in Nigeria, people are hungry.

I was born, raised and educated there in Benin City. Apart from the general challenges of Nigeria as an entity. One major challenge in Benin and Edo in general is that with all the money Edos in Diaspora send home monthly which is one of the highest in Nigeria, many members squander the money sent home by their Diaspora relatives. They don't utilise the money to invest or for economic empowerment rather, they love to live large and flex in beer parlour and pepper soup joints in Benin. If the billions of dollars entering Edo state monthly were economically untilised over the last 30 years, Edo and particularly Benin will booming.

Nigeria will rise again! Your video brought me to tears. We're here in Ghana knocking a government that's putting together programmes to help the ordinary person. We have to be thankful, and continue to pray for Nigeria!

Watching from New York. I was born and brought up in Benin. I really enjoyed this video. I remembered when I was still in Benin my cousin visited and was scolding Benin City and I was defending the government. When you have not travelled out of the country you can not compare Benin to. The last time I visited Benin I went to GRA and I asked myself is this the GRA we use to say it looks like abroad, it looks so dirty

Ur story of the needy ppl in church moved me to tears my sis .living comfortably in Boston I try to assist family and friends back home best as i can but it seems the situation is just getting out of control..i fear ure right and it will implode . Racism Corruption tribalism greed got us here, God have mercy

There's also another side to Nigerians. I was privileged to bless someone with an 18 seater bus. It was a bus brought in from Germany. I paid for it to be turned into a Lagos state bus. I paid for all registration and everything needed. All he had to do was return my cost over a period of time . To help him I told him to choose his own terms himself. Unfortunately he became dodgy and I had to give up on collecting my full cost. I gave him the bus and within a year he destroyed it. Then he went back to square one. Yes something wrong but there's more wrong with the people than the government. Whenever there's an opportunity I like to look for someone to give in Nga and this week another messed up because he was trying to cut corners.

There's no middle class in Nigeria anymore. Its either you're rich or poor. Those claiming middle class are just one sickness away from poverty. Only the rich can afford adequate healthcare in Nigeria. Nigerians are suffering

Tears of joy rolling down my face with that airport welcome. I long for a family like that.

My Sister B, thank you for showing us a bit of Benin City. We need to do something about our lovely Edo State ooo. We have to find ways to work with trusted family members like your Sister (Cousin) to start up industries, no matter how small. Every little helps.

I went to Nigeria last year for the first time ..at the airport everyone was asking me for money I was like what is going on here.i left the airport with 200 dollars gone..every teller I went to asked me for money ..I felt so bad omg.. I wanted to give them some more money but my friend said no because they could target me after I left 😞..I left the airport with sadness in my eyes..its so sad down there honestly..

You just dey fine fine as if na only you dey. Obodo Oyinbo tell us your beauty routine oh, make we all dey LEVEL up.. Your eyes are gorgeous though. Flaunt those legs, worry them oh. You are absolutely beautiful. Never forget you are an empath but be careful not to absorb all their energy. Nigeria is obviously a Ticking Time Bomb. Whatever happen am sending you much love and light.

Gossip dey Nigerian churches in Nigeria well well. And as for begging inside and outside church gates/premises it's very normal in Nigeria 🇳🇬. One thing we observed when we visited is that some people wash cars 🚗 (outside the church gates) for people who attend church on Sunday, we were shocked 😳 but also marveled at how Industrious some Nigerians are!!!!

My sister this is the most thought provoking video you have made and I appreciate you. This video is a patriotic presentation and a clarion call for Nigerians abroad to work in synergy and force out the greedy and selfish politicians destroying our country. I was angry all through my stay as a result of backwardness these thieves in government have brought on Nigeria. For those of you who live abroad that help these thieves in government to buy properties, vehicles and money laundering, be informed that you're equally guilty of the destruction of our country and God will punish all of you along with the thieves.

That is what Nigeria has deteriorated to, the rate of begging is alarming. My last visit was like that, people walk up and ask for help just to eat. I was in church with my mum and I overheard a woman talking to someone that there are days she and the children go to bed hungry. I had to call her aside and give her some money. May God help us all.

Thank you fo taking me with you! It is indeed so sad for the lack of work and the high cost of food. I’ve been talking to a young man there, over the internet who eats almost one meal a day. My heart breaks for the people there. It has opened my eyes to how wasteful that I am. I thought that I was poor. But after video chatting with him and seeing your video, I have too much of everything. Thank you for sharing. I have subscribed to see more. Praying for my friend, for all in Benin and for Nigeria….

Hey Lady B, how you doin? Welcome back to the U.K. I just got back to the USA from Benin City. I went to my momnin law's burial. We stayed in our personal private home and had over 600 people show up for the family rites and burial ceremony. Thank God nothing bad happened..we even stayed back for another 3 weeks after the burial. Everyone knew we came back from the states. It's okay to be careful and all, but it's not as horrible as we hear abroad. Before we left for the burial our friends were scared for our safety as well but Thank God 🙏 all went well.

Thank you Sis Bridget for telling the Truth about what is happening in Nigeria. Most people from aboard will not tell what is happening from home in Nigeria. I am so afraid for my Hubby and family at home in Nigeria. God protect you and the families in Nigeria. 🇺🇸

This is why People should support: ' Yoruba Nation ', ' Biafran Republic' 'Niger Delta Republic ' and any other tribe that wants autonomy from this dead Nigeria ! Safe Journey to you brethren.

Thanks for the vlog. Let appreciate the fact that you didn't go there in the peak of the rainy season for at least you could still drive on earth roads and didn't require a duck boat. In Naija you are unavoidably programmed to be on the OYO mode i.e your are "On Your Own" Government gives you nothing but takes from you. Churches gives you nothing but takes from you. Being educated makes you nobody but takes from you except for a few who are lucky enough to access influence. People build their houses with high fence for security sake in Benin, sink their borehole to get water, install solar panels if they are able to afford it or subscribe to generator or better still sleep in the dark and endure mosquito bites in the heat of the weather if they don't want to sleep in a noisy environment at night with an additional risk factor of robbers showing up at their houses without they noticing and or if they cannot afford fuel in your generator. Everything is just crazy but even at that we know to a large extent the rich and powerful who fly out without restrictions have little or no problem living in naija except for fear of kidnappers. Dis life no balance.

Imagine being in church hungry and still praying lol...Nigerians won’t kill me

It’s so sad 😭 in that fake country, that hunger is getting worse daily, the emotions I have back 2019 even when am back to uk for weeks I wasn’t myself...ppl are suffering seeing children age between 8-13 carries heavy in the market to support their family...so sad

Well done job👍🏽 as always. I hope you had a great time! My husband is from Benin, we hope to visit again next year

It is true so many are dying from hunger churches that can afford it should have soup kitchens or food pantry they must target only the needy not the greedy.

The surprise reaction was priceless 16:10 and the a big hugs 🤗 from family is so lovely 😇😁. Aunty B you attaire is so lovely.....

Its sad... I used to come to ramat Park to chill when I was in boarding school in Western boys high school. Religion and miseducation is taking us higher to nowhere.

Thank you for your precious perspective. I borrow your eyes and view much pain and understanding 💗🌹

This is so heartbreaking! 😢😢😢 The rate of suffering of the masses is crazy! I hope Nigerian bloggers will shed light on this reality. Thanks so much for such a fantastic vlog.

Nice video ma, please I'm looking forward to the video about what to expect when in Nigeria, I want to travel but the things I'm seeing lately are not encouraging at all. I've almost made up my mind not to go back there again. To avoid had I known😏

Thank you very much sis for sharing this video. I am a Benin person and you are very correct, there is little or no improvement in Benin City. Most people there are full of hatred, jealousy and envy. The rate of crime is on the High side, some people are very afraid to even drive good car even when they can can afford it. The believers there are living by God's grace.

My best Nigerian blogger ever! I never see anyone wen bit u

Bree it's really terrible, even people who had 💰 in forex investment companies(especially here in port-harcourt) can't earn again as Security and Exchange Commission has frozen accounts of the companies in the name of investigating them...

Sis Bridget, thanks for this. When I visited benin some years back I said the same thing, I grew up in benin and the difference was clear. The road to our house erosion, airport road and the rest looked really bad. My best friend was in the same opinion with your cousin pat, she said it look good ore. I looked around in confusion 😕😅😐🤣😂 am still confused. Thanks for sharing all this 🙌🏽 sis💕

Welcome to Nigeria. Watching from Abuja. Interesting video

I get the same reactions from Nigerians everytime I come home and i complain about things. They just can't see what I'm complaining about. To them that shoddy road I'm complaining about is good,everything I'm I'm complaining about is fine to them and it made me realize that our people really have zero expectations from these politicians or they're just too easy to please or they lack exposure. And this is why all these governors will keep coming and going without doing anything meaningful in terms of Infrastructural development for the people!

I really enjoyed ur video, thanks for this video because I'm from benin city and I travel long ago, it's been 16yrs now that I left and I based in Germany 🇩🇪. So surprised to see that there's no improvement in their roads

I am Enjoying your Visit to Benin City Vlog. Watching you from Germany 👍✌

Wish you a safe trip in all the journey you will make sis B. Despite all the big Churches in Benin, the atrocities never stops.

Wow this is wonderful I left benin over 18yrs ago I used to stay behind the airport I just like benin sha anyhow continue to enjoy ur trip and thanks for sharing and God bless

Aunty B enjoy your stay in Nigeria, the Lord be with you. Concerning Benin city my city, no coment at all because we are tired of talking

It's like you mimicked my journey to Benin-City in October 2020. Gosh! Such a euphoria 💜

I really enjoyed your trip. Thanks for uploading

You're very motivated ma. Thank you for all you do

Fake accent from airport staff 12:08 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. We have said it before, we will choose hearing announcement in pidgin English than fake accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sist Bre thanks for visiting my state Benin city, Edo State. Benin is Very bad, bad is under statement is worse. Benin the environmental, school with no roof, security,.power,.education is absolutely nothing to talk about don't let them deceive you. I love your vibe, next is to visit us here in Canada Alberta 🇨🇦

Wow sis this was so interesting. I agree the roads cars and general environment looks so run down. No wonder people are trying to leave Nigeria any way possible. It must have been so heart breaking. Nway good you made it home.

So shocking my sis B i really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

Welldone for the good work Sis, it is nice to continue to hear the regular update from you, However this is what I always tell people here in Uk , who had written off their family Member in Nigeria because of too much of begging , The suffering is too much and there is no way they can be satisfied, unless you find a strategy way to regulate and continue to give . Seen is believing!!! Thanks for Sharing 😀

Waaooo dat was a great Surprise with ur family at d Airport, i even had tears of Joy flowing down😘😘😘😘😘

Thank you for the video. Wish you va safe journey back

Naija sha. I left over 25 years ago as a teenager. I consider myself more American in my everyday life but still find out that I always listen to Naija music, bloggers etc. I've lived more of my life here than there but there's just something about Naija. I was born in UBTH. Pidgin was my first language 😁 When I visited the house I grew up in, I wan vomit. Open suckaway, erosion etc all over the place. Stairs no repairs, neighbors suffering. Meanwhile, three churches on that one small street 🤔🙄

And even when they’re working.,,No payment 😩😩, where do you see that in western countries

Cheiiiiiii our teenage-hood good memories of Benin city has been crushed kaiiiiii 😭😭😭😭 why is there poor maintenance culture in Nigeria naaaa. Anyways we hope that ugbekun, Benin city is okay oooh because our secondary school na there e day!!!! *Presentation National High School* aka *PRESCO*🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. We enjoyed watching this vlog!!!

This is great thanks for promoting our great city BC. Which the government could just at least fix all the roads.

Nice one ma, please greet my mom for me oo...she lives in benin🥰🥰 May God protect your going out and ur coming in🙏🙏

Thank you for saying it as it is... There is Hunger in this country. No policians or their minions should show us railway and expressway and say all is well. It is not well oh. Hunger and desperation everywhere... It's a tough time to be Nigerian🇳🇬

This surprise was better than that of your friend at the hotel, this ladies are more sharp they suspected it was you coming, family is everything so nice they are happy , amebo🤣🤣🤣 Sister bri your surprise no work well this time sis your sisters are so happy to have you around

I love your outfit ma nd it's look good on you. Please, stay safe nd have a journey mercy.

Nice video ...hey that hotel in Abuja looks nice .. Looks like a nice place lodge in for those who come to town !!

Me seeing Benin through your vids I’m like omg!! See beautiful Nigeria , I don’t understand why the leaders are so so wicked that they don’t want to do anything to for the country nor for the people

Ms Briggy, pls becareful oooh. Naija is no longer safe. Just stay safe.

This truly makes me sick to hear and big churches are more bothered about taking instead of making a real difference in simply giving food to the people that are hungry.

May God have mercy on Nigeria 🇳🇬

Glad about your review of Benin City. I hope those in government could do better. Hope we all can do better

Hi, this is the best natural looking hair I have seen on you. You look divine. Please keep it up and well done for your interesting and excellent informative videos.

Thank you sister, very good you ate telling us about Nigerian

I was born in Austria Linz but raised in the Uk London thamesmead, my parents are Benin. Benin city never really changed at all. In fact the whole Nigeria city are trashed up. I’m not proud to be a Nigerian.

For poverty to reduce in Nigeria the federal govt. needs to cede some power to the states. Welcome home.

I think government and other external forces are trying to kill off the populations of Nigerians because we plenty. And it’s very sickening what’s going on in Nigeria. ObodoOyinbo, I love your sound track ooo 😁😁😁

Wow 😳 I really like this your vid. Seeing ramart park area. it really shows development is taking step backwards instead of improvement. Godbless us all so we can contribute our part towards development.

Thanks for showing me Benin city. My city. Though am from the delta.

I weep most times i visit Nigeria the joblesness is so so massive and the hoplessness is palpable the begging rate is so high...our leaders over the years till now have destroyed the country through chain looting of public funds and massive corruption ..God will punish them and their entire generation ...thank you for sharing you are absolutely correct!!watching from Helsinki Finland ..

I think as you said,when you see pictures and videos,it doesn't affect you as much because it's from a distance...but once you are faced with it first hand and you see it with your own eyes it hits different and the reality of the need sets in

Waka to all bad leaders in Nigeria. Tufiakwa. Nigeria has Too much potential to do better. Also, weldone to the small number of amazing leaders in Nigeria.

Thanks for keeping it real.

The last time I went to Naija. Everybody I met in church had an horror story. It was so sad. I did not go the next Sunday because the amount I spent the first Sunday I went was too much. And if you give them a substandard amount, they look at you like you wicked. Me I cannot come and kill myself.

Auntie B you in Nigeria 🇳🇬 hope you have a amazing time and be safe

My dear beautiful sister enjoyed your holiday with your wonderful family 👪❤more happiness

Your ankara outfit is da bomb 💣. It looks good on you 👍🏻😘😘

The problem we have in Benin City is that no body want to live in the village everybody want to live in the city if you don't have a job in city go to the village and do something

True talk.good sister God bless your work

A lot of people are suffering in Nigeria a Country that's richer than Dibịa. So sad.

Good morning Aunty B, God will continue to be with you.

Someone told me that sachet water is now #20 and garri is #1300..May God help our country.

Sis is this a dress or shirt it's cute x The dotted one

Thanks my sister, you and coming is preserved, please tell us you going to Nigeria 🇳🇬about this vaccine in 🇬🇧 Airport, explain about the flight ✈️and entry Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Thanks for sharing about my state❤

Welcome home sis, go to Kogi and you will be grateful for Benin. I am from Kogi and seriously the last time I went home I was so sad.

I love the Bini scene of excitement with your family people more than three crying scene of your friend in Abuja hotel Your Benin family made smile You made me laugh when you said holy spirit must be amibor Thank you for your videos

I just came back from Benin city a little less than a month ago. Benin City is the capital and largest city of Edo State in southern Nigeria. They are building the road and sewers. In 2023 they're supposed to be a Benin city mall coming up. Praying that this helps some with employment for whoever wants to work.

Sorry to ask because I have not boreded a flight from Abuja to Benin did they stamp your passport

Thanks sister. I enjoyed the Vlog. In fact it's really time for Benin to have industries!!

Oh dont cry and listening to u made me cry too.stay safe.

MAY GOD GRANT YOU JOURNEY MERCIES ON THE WHOLE AND MAY HIS MIRACLES AND INTERVENTIONS OCCUR WHILST YOU ARE THERE IJN AMEN.

It's nice to see Benin City again. I went there last, during my NYSC period.

Darling sister Obodo Oyinbo, I really admire your outfit in this video clip: it covers all the precious parts of the body. Please keep it up!!! Love you 😍 💗 💓

Benin city has always been like that. Once you exit the major roads, you will be swimming in mud and potopoto.

I just love you background sound 😍

Nigeria!! We need prayers. People are suffering and smiling.

Hi Obodoyibo tv. Thanks a lot for the video you did about your trip to Benin. I sincerely felt as if l was the one in Benin because incidentally l am from there. I like how you took flight to avoid the incidents travellers normally encountered on the roads. So far, the only thing you did not tell us is which of these flights can be trusted and their fares.Once again thanks alot for the good job you are doing and may God continue to bless you Amen.
