Hi Guys, this is a video about my trip to Kano, Nigeria.
Kano is the most ancient city in Northern Nigeria. It is the second most populous state in Nigeria after Lagos State and also where the richest African comes from. Myself and a few friend had an un explainable experience in the beautiful state.
Please watch, enjoy & let me know which is your best part of the video in the comment section
A big thank you to the amazing creative's who joined me on this trip. Please follow them and check out their amazing work:

This was one of the most powerful and profound cultural cinematography's I've seen on YT. You've captured sounds, visions, colors and the Northern Nigerian culture with great splendor and magnificence!

Seeing this documentary makes me feel sad about the insecurity and mismanagement in Nigeria, it was so heartwarming seeing such beautiful sights and happy people, Minjbr has to be my favorite part of the video, I wish you got to see the animals

@Theniyifagbemi Жыл бұрын

thank you so much! really wish i got to see the animals, The insecurity in Nigeria is a major fallback in the tourism sector, really wish things could be better! 🙏

Yeah, I see why someone said they cried after watching the video. In the 90s, the Durbar would pull in tourists from as far away as America. Before all the insecurity and economic hardships of today. The vibrance of colours from the outfits was always quite a sight to behold and the drama of the Dogorai (Palace guards) and co was always exciting especially for kids. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the drone work ... All stellar!! My favourite part was definitely Minjibr. Almost felt like ...... It was really good! Kudos bruv!

I don’t know why I cried watching this. The footage, the colors , the transitions the story line , the intent is everything! I served in Kano in 2020 but I didn’t even reach most of the places depicted here. GOD bless you bro! You’re truly a national treasure!

I'm speechless, blown away, overwhelmed with emotions, ashamed of how little I know of my country, yet fascinated and intrigued all at once! Brilliant doesn't begin to define the work you have done here. The minister of tourism for Kano needs to lay their hands on this and pay you some cool cash because many people, myself included, will be visiting the north thanks to your excellent work. God bless and a huge WELL DONE!

You are a great cultural ambassador for Nigeria. You have a super power, continue to use it for the sole benefit of Nigeria. We must tell our own stories so our story telling can be the defining narrative. We must be the primary purveyors of our own cultural experience. We know what happens when foreign media who have their own agenda fell African stories. I salute you.
