Living in Nigeria | How People Live in Earth's YOUNGEST Country With Its OLDEST Ritual | TRAVEL 4K

Half of Nigeria isn't nineteen years old yet — and this is what daily life actually looks like inside Africa's largest country.

We travel from the mangrove creeks of the Niger Delta to the Sahel edge in the north, through a country of 242 million people, 250+ ethnic groups and more than 500 languages. You'll meet Igbo-Ora, the town with roughly 45 twin births per 1,000 — the world average is 12. You'll see Nollywood, the second-largest film industry on Earth, turning out about 2,500 movies a year, some shot inside a week. You'll stand in Kano as thousands of horsemen gallop toward the Emir's palace in a Durbar ritual older than the United States.

We also go where most travel films don't: Yaba, the Lagos neighbourhood that built Paystack (bought by Stripe for $200 million) and Flutterwave; the Cross River gorilla, the rarest gorilla on the planet, declared extinct and rediscovered in 1986; owambe parties, Detty December, and a city with no closing time.

Plus the practical stuff — e-Visa rules, yellow fever requirements, real daily costs, and the best months to go.

This is Nigeria, told the way Nigerians live it.
