If you’re celebrity, don’t publicize your movements when traveling, especially in real time on social media. Hire armed security to escort you if you’re in an unfamiliar area. Simple.
That goes for anyplace. Celebrity brings out the wolves
Really is that simple
Well immigrants claim they moral. So they have nothing to worry about
If you're *not* a celebrity, don't post your movements publicly, tf? Folks do that shit so much, and I do not understand it.
That s gonna be hard cause if you don't post in social media people will assume you are there as a possibility
Never announce when you are going home!!
Africa not our home
@@wildboy6718 what is your homeboy? 🤣👍🏿
@@EC-ol8nz I only understand English sir idk what you even trying to say
@@wildboy6718 Not "your" home, and nobody is forcing you or asking for anything.
@@Amongero07 that goes for you too and who are you again?
This is true. My dad died in Nigeria this summer and everyone told me to stay home. They said it’s not safe for them or me to come.
Damn! Sorry for your loss!
Oh no. Soo sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss
Did he die or was he murdered. Dying could be of a illness.
Damn, stay around white folks and you'll be alright.
They’re not lying in those comments. My Daddy just came bk this weekend after being there for a month. He was telling me he couldn’t go to the village because he could be kidnapped.
Seriously. That is an assumption
@@desireeke933 anti Africa is hard in America it's not even funny
@@wambokodavid7109Nah Nigerians are crazy ngl this stuff mainly happens over there not my country or others
Off the top of my head, Jidenna and Yvonne Orji both publicised their visits to Nigeria and nothing happened to them. These things get exaggerated at times. However, right is not the best time to come, we're having drama with fuel (I think Americans call it gas) scarcity and a recent change in currency is causing a lot of chaos. Both seem to be tied to the upcoming elections, so probably wait until after the elections and just travel with people that know the country well and can help you navigate.
Good advice. Never visit around elections!
But Jidenna has said the same thing. He took it a step further saying because he is light skin he's more of a target because they believe lighter skin blacks have money.
@Jason Wolfe He had experienced a kidnapping incident in the past, I think before he was famous. The last time he visited Nigeria he was safe in the big cities like Lagos. I think it was when he was travelling to his village that he had to use armed security personnel
Don't start the comment by saying it's exaggerated just say yes I agree this isn't the right time
@@rwchitown5570 We have this joke saying over here that says 'No be you go tell me wetin I go talk'. But on a serious note the reports of kidnapping in Nigeria are greatly over exagerrated. I can bodly beat my chest that no 'famous' person coming to Nigeria as ever been kidnapped. The election warning has nothing to do with kidnapping. Its are just that things are a bit more chaotic right now than usual and wouldn't be a good time to come. Boys are not smiling.
As a Nigerian this shit is hilarious 😂
As Black American woman,
I would definitely feel safer anywhere in the Homeland than here in Amerikkka💯😂💯
@@LadyVanilla3000 I get you but I’m AA as well and I live in NY. I know a lot of Nigerians for decades. Too many have been robbed and several killed. I’m talking about Nigerians not foreigners. It’s no joke. They think if you’ve lived in America for so long you must be rich and he’s famous. I can’t even imagine what will happen to him. IMJ🤷🏽♀️ His best bet is to not advertise his movements.
@@LadyVanilla3000 USA is ur homeland dawg…
@@LadyVanilla3000 you don't who you are. Our history..
@@zeeqq105 I moved from NYC to Tanzania in 2020. I also know a lot of Nigerians from all over Nigeria. I have been living in Ghana for two years. I know people who go to Nigeria frequently without incident. If Davido who's rich in his own right and is the only son of a man who is worth 700 million usd, Godfrey will be just fine. A lot of Nigerians haven't been home in donkey years. They're regurgitating something that was told to them.
I'm Nigerian and my own family is saying the same thing! I'm not going anytime soon!
I’m Haitian 🇭🇹and same in my country 💀💀💀💀💀😩
Reach out to other famous Nigerians and ask them how they move when there. But how you show up is key.. you could bring the crew, cameras and do a show from over there. Or organize a mini comedy tour and donate the proceeds to a foundation doing great work. Many opportunities my afro brother.
Smart comment
Famous Nigerians have Nigerian money. They want US Dollars.
@@nyc220guy there are Nigerian artistes richer than Godfrey. Hell I’d be surprised if basket doesn’t have more money than dude.
Exactly bro, all this people saying crap are not giving the complete picture. They making it seem like there is gang banging on every street. Basketmouth, Ay, Bovi, Don jazzy and some musician that are very rich,even than some Americans,but they all live there and are Cool. Had opportunity to even meet some in close quarters, by reason of what I do(they move without security detail and all).
Nigeria is like any other country,you should just know how to move, where to go and where not to go.
It's not cz he is am American,any Nigerian staying in Nigeria can be kidnapped or robbed. So you just know how to move,where to go and where not to and if you are going into certain zone, you just prep security. That is all.
Though is good to wait till after election cz things are pretty tense for now.
@@electricman68 abeg tell am. All this people capping okpata. You dey call Basket, Bovi , Ay , I go dye. Let's don't even put musicians on that list sef the Remas set, let leave David, Olamide,Don J out of the conversation.
These guys always put fears in people's mind about Nigeria,I was there last year December everybody was cool with me I enjoyed my stay
Nigerians love their famous sons and daughters. You are safe in Nigeria. You are safe in Lagos, Abuja, Enugu, Calabar or any other place in the country. Get with one of the famous and reputable entertainment agents in Nigeria and do a show in Lagos or Abuja. Just like in any other country, you have to be careful but not fearful. Once you go back to Nigeria, you will always return. Nigerians love you bro. Come back home !
Yes. It's always wise to hire security and a driver though.
@@selinamaduforo622 and a very good witch Dr
That sounds very confusing, if it's really a big family if sons and daughters then you wouldn't need to be careful. I thought racism was so bad for him he'd prefer to be kidnapped by his own amazing people.
@@user-wb7nv9ht1g Presuming you're caucasian. If you were in West Virginia, would you want to get kidnapped by your inbred, hillbilly cousins?
Fuck Nigeria if that’s how they treat their people US the best
I'm not Nigerian, but I traveled to Nigeria with no issues. I plan to travel again this year.
I’m sure you’re not a celebrity either! 😂
@@tammyslade1375
Exactly! They won’t kidnap some random individual with no money or assets😆
Rando
@@tammyslade1375 so all celebrities in Nigeria has been kidnapped all
Me too and I felt very safe
Kidnapping is real. I’m Igbo too. Hire security. Go in may or June. … way after elections.
Godfrey, just wait till after elections please. Let everyone calm down, also Sunny Okosuns was pretty big back then, he had some major hits back in the day!! He is a legend.
LOL @ hiring a bodyguard. If you try to do that locally then you're opening yourself up to get set up, and if the guy isn't local then he's not as useful. Heed the warnings, just don't go.
That's a great point. You don't need a bodyguard, you need a fixer!
@drwllce Are you stupid? I said DON'T hire a local bodyguard, and Godfrey clearly doesn't have one or else he'd say "I'll take my guy," and even then his guy still wouldn't be familiar with the area. What did you think you were adding to this discussion?
Exactly what I was going to say lol
Those of us "regular" people from the US hire security. It's better to be safe than sorry. Hiring security and a driver is the smartest safest thing to do as a celebrity.
@@selinamaduforo622 it is not safe. He is Igbo which i am. aND he is from Imo state. Imo state is very hot now, if they see you with security you are done for
I’m 100% Nigerian and I go back pretty often, and I’m goin to tell you, you have nothin to be worried about. Don’t let the comment section make you scared of your own ppl
Godfrey these folks are over stating how dangerous Nigeria is. !! Just listen to your sister and relatives and you will be fine . Lol. Frankly you are not famous enough in Nigeria for folks to stress you . For heaven sakes Nigeria isn’t this jungle that people want you to believe. Don’t let folks discourage you from going home, pls talk to folks who have actually gone back recently !!!
This is 100% facts. Nigeria is banned for travel in certain Gov’t agency’s which I won’t name.
You Ghanaian people always happy to hear anything negative about Nigerian, mention any country Nigerian is ban, moronic comment
You’re going to need way more than one dude “strapped”. You’ll need a SQUAD.
There are a lot of rich people in Legos. Go and have your family meet u there. Don’t advertise it. Go after election. Also have a one night show at a big/trendy venue like Chappelle where the people don’t know who is coming it will be a treat for the people!
Sometimes u gotta flaunt it for the people to have hope back home.
Rep New York and Chicago back shun!
All God’s blessings Godfrey🙏🏾
You can tell this is a vulnerable subject for him
As a fellow Nigerian, it’s ok to go home. Your people will embrace you with the purest love. You’ll be loved as Tchalla. Your uncle is the legendary Sunny Okosun and you’re discouraged not to go back home. I grew up on your uncles music, RIP to him. But this segment is somewhat bullshit because everyone basically is saying don’t go. In my opinion that’s saying don’t go to O’Block, but people still go to Chicago. You’re promoting a whole country in a negative light. I now stay in America, but when I go back home I stayed for as long as 4 months. Although you’re famous but you’ll be safe. Your people will bother you with request, it’s only because they have a famous relative in America, which they take too much pride of and can sometimes be bothering, it’s meant with love.
Most people will be welcoming and pleasant. Then there are the 2% that are ALWAYS plotting and scheming. It only takes one to mess it up for everyone else.
Lol okay bro
N Block run by the of Naija Crew. Dont go back to Nigeria without checking in and best watch yo back, boi!! 😂
You have to recognize that people don’t really know YOU. People know who HE is though. Being low key isn’t always about what YOU DO to blend in…Gotta make sure you’re not being led to the slaughter in a place where you don’t really have friends. Him having an international profile means he has to move differently EVERYWHERE, so don’t be mad bc NIGERIA is the topic of conversation. That’s just the topic on that day.
@@TheRealAnswer23 You get it
4 years ago I was speaking to a guy from Nigeria and he told me HIS own family TRIED to set up a kidnapping of him when he arrived in Nigeria because he was posting pictures of nice cars and money on his FB. He told me when he got of the plane in Nigeria one of his uncles warned him of the plot that at least 4 relatives wanted kidnap and HARM him thinking he had become rich in the USA when in fact he was FRONTIN and FAKING (like most people). Anyways no harm came to him but he told me Nigeria are known for this.
@Moon Boy LOL whatever clown this was told to me and Nigeria and Haiti ARE known for kidnapping people give me a reason to make this up I could care less about Nigeria
L
The literal geek meaning of nostalgia translates to "the pain of an old wound" it basically shares its meaning with the "rose-tinted glasses" saying. Where going back to where you came from isn't always the the best idea
Nigeria has 218 million people. It’s a huge place! This is ridiculous
Don’t live in fear my G, that’s your homeland, you’ll be well protected , you’re already well connected. Truss mi I go back nothing less than twice a year. It’s about how you move and who you move with.
I went to Nigeria 20 years ago. I had a police escort everywhere I went. It was boring as hell. My cousins was mad as hell because I couldn't go anywhere. Keep in mind I was a 26-year very successful drug dealer from Detroit at the time. My dad lived in a gated community, and all I did was walk around in circles. Drove me crazy. One day, some dudes claimed that someone had a gun. It had to be about 30 people running away from the "gun" I started running towards the "gun." I never found the guy with the gun or the dude that lied about the gun. Either one of them would have been the shit in my eyes at the time. To make a long story short. I had a good time seeing family I only heard about.When I was leaving, my family asked me for every thing I had. They didn't know what the designers were. I gave away prada shoes, dolce, Gucci sport watch. My luggage only had socks and draws. Then I get to the airport and security pulled me out of line. Told me I'm not leaving unless I pay them. I literally had socks and draws and $50 American. Some male guard took that. I thought I was good. Next thing you know, a woman said she was the chief bla bla something, and I had to give her something too. I turned my pockets inside out and told her how my family got my for all my money and clothes. The other "boss" hit me for my last $50. She said ok, she then said when you get home. Send me some Rogaine for women. Gave me her information. I bought the Rogaine but lost the info.
End of story.
I plan on going this December to surprise my dad. He's been talking shit for over 20 years on why I haven't been back.
Wow, amazing story. I think the drug dealer part is more interesting that everything else, loved the testimony.
@Kevin Settle the funny thing is, my father didn't know I sold drugs. I had a construction company as a front. I would take him and my mother to houses that was being worked on and tell them it was my job. I did try to start a company before I sold drugs. Ironically, I actually do construction for a living now. My parents didn't have a clue of my past. Lol
Lol they all want to act like they are in charge and they are the ‘boss’ and when they get caught doing wrong they act like children that’s why the MFs that are actually in charge are so corrupt
@@meirisrael1728 You've got a very bankable story. I would love to talk to you about it.
It was boring because you should of relaxed a little and moved around with your cousins. Not surprised you didn't go back for such a long time though (the experience can be traumatising losing all your stuff). They would have taken the shoes off your feet if you let them. Lol. I've had ppl try me at the airport. Never gave them anything. Talked my way or shouted my way out of it. Lol. Hopefully I can go to Naija in the near future myself.
It’s because that one joke “Godfrey can we come and see U” 🤣
lol😁
Yeah memory like am elephant ..yo
@@maxmillion6280 African elephant
I live in Miami. Plenty of Haitian friends. They’ll tell you straight up DO NOT go to Haiti right now. I know two people that have had family members kidnapped in the last year. A lot of places are really rough right now. It ain’t like the US where you can legally keep your firearm on you. In a foreign country unless you got connections or security (security that can’t be paid off to set you up) then you’re really just a walking lick
Im Haitian and honestly the only part of Haiti that chaotic now is areas around port au prince the rest of the nation is more stable.the western media only portrayed port au prince and make seem like it represent the whole country.kap ayisyen (okap) is pretty stable and the best city in haiti to be in
@@kingc1198 yea you right I can’t just go off what a few people tell me unless I been there and I haven’t
Haiti is a shyt hole compared to Nigeria let’s be honest. Didnt you guys kill the president and are now being run by violent gangs? Far cry from Nigeria breh breh
@@kingc1198 A lot of those Haitians in America haven't been to Haitia since the arrived in the US, if ever. They're only repeating what they've heard. Telling people not to visit predominantly Black countries supports a white supremacist mentality. I just looked up statistics for gun violence in the US. There have been 39 mass shootings and its only February. They should be terrified to live in the US.
They've been killing like at least 10 cops a week in Haiti do not go over there!!
Off-topic, but I swear, Godfrey doesn't even look his age. 🤣
So true 👍 he's the real deal of the black that don't crack!
Facts! He looks so young.
bro is almost 60 Nbs
@@Sheed96 fr 💀
Lol! Yep! That's why when they asked if it's been 25 years since he last went back, I was like, no, it's been like 40 years 😆
😂😂😂 the clothes. Happened to me on my first visit back to Jamaica.
Stay in Banana island or Oniru royal estate and you're good. Parts of Lekki are cool as well. Don't go to no parties in Ikeja, Agege or Festac. Lagos ain't that crazy. Just don't leave Lagos.
Through ancestry I found out I'm majority Nigerian. I immediately started saying I wanted to go to Lagos. EVERY person I told said not to go bc it's not safe. I switched to Ghana and went in March but I really want to go to Nigeria. I'm waiting until after the elections are done.
Stayed 5 months loved it going back been to Lagos like 6 times Abuja twice stayed in Onitsha visited Togo for 8 days
you should come , especially to the capital, Abuja . you'd blend it , want white folks here are safe (most of the time )
Last time I went out was 2021 in April. December everyone leaves the big city for their hometime and oil prices go up but its still good to see family. Kidnapping did happen but it was people who were wealthy, showing out, and political leaders. I drive cars older than 2005 when I go without armed security and I chill with the locals. I don't fear much when i go home outside of getting sick. Other than that Nigeria is good to visit.
Nah my sis was in Nigeria a month ago but she didn't tell a soul so thats tell you everything you need to know... plus Godfrey is a celebrity so he really got a target on his head
Stay safe wherever u go Godfrey
Wow! I never knew you were related to Sunny Okosun 😀
You can come but don't let anyone know when you're coming. Also don't go beyond Lagos or Abuja. It's not worth it even with a platoon of green berets
I work For a train company in London and my Nigerian colleagues tell me they don't tell their friends they're coming home...they just rock up.. the kidnapping and extortion is REAL.
Extortion yes, kidnapping depends on location and if you are stuntin too much. I was in Lagos from Nov till December last year and it was okay.
Haha. It is definitely not because of kidnapping. It is because of what we call "black tax"-friends and families monetary entitlement. They feel you owe them because they knew you when you got nothing and it can be tiring and you can't say 'no' to most people.
Honestly......they don't tell of their coming only because they don't want to have alot of people expecting ro get something from them.....that's the truth they hide under the kidnap tale..... call a spade a spade.
That sucks! I feel like they always coming for Godfrey. And to want to kidnap and/or rob your own is insane.
Historically, not just recent times. It was Africans selling Africans into slavery back in the day. We need to heal as a people before anything else.
I remember a friend of my dad's went to Jamaica to check on the progress of the house he was building and hasn't been heard from since and that was 93.
Prayers for real Fam like Godfrey. Your home here in the states.
Wish more black Americans understood that
@@wildboy6718 They do. We wish brothers and sisters outside the US did also… They assume that they are better! But they would die to come to the US or the UK.
@@ronjay1209 yup ..my home and my ancestors home is America..but they brainwashed black people to think we all from Africa lol but hey I tell people believe what you want
@@wildboy6718 Everyone is from Africa. Just the modern people born outside of Africa are descendants. Some believe that some doesn’t. Godfrey is a real one who see our perspective.
@@ronjay1209 ok
My mother goes to Nigeria about every other year or so, but she knows how to move through Nigeria. I'm like Godfrey, I haven't been there in over 20 years, but I also lived in Nigeria in my teens, so I already know they'll eat me alive lol.
If you don't know how to move through Nigeria, especially during election time, you're a fool to be heading over there. The fact that Godfrey doesn't even know that there's an election going on is proof that he shouldn't be going at the moment. I do think his family should be able to take care of him, especially if he's related to wealthy and powerful people like that, but even then, it's not something he should be hyping too much.
Go home Godfrey. Ain't nowhere in the world 100 percent safe.
Wow great conversation
i agree its best to keep where are going a secret because most people say things to prevent you from going.
Godfrey you’ll be fine brother . Don’t let the media hype you into not going.
It’s not the media it’s his fellow Nigerians telling him not to go home 🤷🏽♀️
@@theetravellover I’m a fellow west African from Senegal and I know he’ll be just fine.
To be honest Nigeria is not close to as bad as people make it seem
Recently it hasn't been looking too good
When was the last time you went lol cuz I went recently. It’s bad
Very interesting, they tell black Americans they are so much better and it's wakanda over there
I was at your show in Raleigh bro come back soon 🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾
The same is with Haiti!!!
Was Haiti ever safe since the earthquake?
Even after the earthquake, it was better than it is now. After the assassination, there was a power vacuum and its REALLY bad now. Like elected officials fled the country bad.
Go with angela from 90 day fiancé 😂😂
😂😂😂 right because nothing has happened to her over there yet.
☝️🤣
Lmaoooo!!! 😂
There's already lookouts at the airport now. They probably scoping out Chuuku Airlines (Oh wahwah)🤣
🇯🇲 I agree with the comments/ warnings 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Oh yeah I forgot to say, my uncle came home from work while the kidnappers were there. They took him in the trunk of his own car instead of me. Luckily they let him go a few hours later
See this why people tend to stay away from there old neighborhoods
Wow you Uncle is a Nigerian Legend !!!!!!!
Theme song plays at the end, and I hear a voice sample: “could be dangerous.” 👀
What’s going on in Nigeria this dude from there told me don’t go as well.
Boko Haram...
I see alot of bribery, extortion and all kind of border restrictions going on in the WHOLE entire Africa. Man them immigration officer's are a trip. Follow Wode Maya on CZcams. He literally just posted a video a few hours ago crossing Ghana and Togo. These MF's tried holding up a group of old ladies at the damn border 🤦🏾♀️. Sad thing is they're all just as black as I am. Smh can't trust NOBODY. You gotta see the video.
Go to Ghana 🇬🇭
Same here.
Idk but I heard they executed 100 blk Christians early last year and they didn't accept any of U.S. / Biden deals.
Shouldnt he be talking to actual Nigerians in Nigeria about this?
Still love your video with Aries Spears and the one with 85 South dropped 💎 in both
This is true. I had a Co Worker who was Nigerian and she told me the same thing. She said she have to keep it a secret when she goes home. They think because she is Balling out in America.
Godfrey sounds like he's not aware that his uncle Sunny Okosun is dead. Yes there is the risk of being kidnapped so if he decides to come he has to be careful .
😂😂😂
He said okosun was a famous musician, was past tense so he definitely knows hes dead
264k. Keep it going
Come to South Africa but don't let nobody know. We quite alright down here
Same for a lot of the Caribbean islands
Godfrey I'm just like you. I haven't been back to Niger since I was a teen. Kidnappers kick our door down looking for me. It's real out there. I haven't been back since
You running away from your people?
@@jennaywilliams7664 naw just the kidnappers
Damn shame black celebrities gotta deal with that stupidness
@@Debo350ss damn. And there's more kidnappers than his people out there huh? This is what happens when you don't take care of your community
No. I was 13 when I was almost kidnapped. Danger is danger. I'm not playing with my life. My fellow Nigerians know what time it is out there. Americans are food out there
GHANA. JUST COME TO GHANA.
Yea, I keep getting told the same thing. My friend who is egyptian went and witnessed his friend get kidnapped and their not even Famous 🥺
As if everyone would recognize Godfrey in Nigeria. 😆😆😆
Sometimes I read stuff about other countries and get scared to visit those countries. I have been to many countries and can tell you all these stigmas, stereotypes and lies are ridiculous. Now I know how it feels. Being Nigerian, I can tell you this is BS. Nigeria is safer than anywhere in America. You just have to understand, like anywhere in the world, you go to the wrong places, and you put yourself at risk. AMERICA is the most dangerous place on the planet. Nobody shoots you randomly in Nigeria. This is crazy.
This isn’t true. Many random killings occur in Lagos and in and around the north and east. Nigeria is very unsafe due to rampant armed terrroists murdering whole villages, especially in the north. That being said the South East is relatively peaceful
@@bwrecks What random killings occur in lagos. Do Nigerians go around lagos on killing Spree. Talk about some places in the Northern part of the country that is unsafe. Even Maiduguri the epicenter of the boko haram killings is relatively safe now. The East is safe abeg just shift go one corner.
@@bwrecks random killings in Lagos? I can guarantee statistically there is not even close to 1/10 the amount of random killings in America in Nigeria. America is a war zone. they just do a great job and controlling media to hide it and make other countries look bad. There are crazy deaths across cities in America DAILY. same cant be said for Nigeria.
@@marony3529 I agree America is dangerous as hell, but Nigeria isn’t some safe haven.
@@bwrecks you are a liar
I went in December and came back in January. Loved every minute. Will be going again next year. Block is always hot. I’m not popular so. Maybe Godfrey might get snatched. Should move with bodyguards over there…I think.
I had a coworker said the same thing when she goes back she don’t announce when’s she coming. They think we all have money
Take the risk Godfrey think of the positivity and recharge you’ll receive.
What positivity comes from being kidnapped unless you're the kidnapper🤣
That’s dumb as hell😅😅risk his life for positivity
not wise my guy
Before you go, I suggest you look into Nigerians who served in the US Military's SF Community.
They'll do your advance team set up, be familiar with routes before your arrival, and know the normal temperature of your environments/platforms so they recognize anomalies and take precautions; do go home but respect it and move like you know.
Shit, they ain't lying. I came in December can't wait wait to get the hell out. Its just nuts all the way from the airport.
Good thing that's not in my plans, like ever!
No where is safe out the country especially for celebrities.
especially for black people!
Yep, go after the elections, don't publicize your visit when you actually go, get security escort especially if you want to go to your village. You're the first son, and a lot of your kinsmen would want to take advantage of you and what you 'own' down there. Don't eat everything handed to you.
Overall, it'll be a great experience for you.
come to cape verde
When y’all came to Pittsburgh was 🔥
The fact that you know basketmouth.. means you are safe. And you are sunny okosuns descendant. If I were you I would be planning on doing big shows in Africa.. starting in Lagos. Guy.. you'd be bigger if you do this before dave chappelle/hart steals this idea lol. Dave chappelle and kevin hart went to Ghana last december. Accra is similar to Lagos/Abuja in terms of safety bro. Forget what your fellow podcast members are saying.. they don't know nothing about Africa.
Kidnapping waiting to happen🤷🏾🤔
🗣🗣💯💯
Holla at doze off Kraig facts. He tied in down there proper 😤✊🏽✊🏽
THEY CONSIDER GODFREY AS A TRAITOR... NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION
This is blown way over the top!! Nigeria ain’t that bad, if you’re staying in the major cities, but of course you will look like a shiny Christmas tree if you pulled up in a village lol
Nah on a serious note, I sense a bit of propaganda here, it’s not that deep and surely a guy like Godwin will be able to afford a couple armed police escorts to follow up everywhere or to public events👮🏾♂️
Don’t let them deter you, and I promise you when you go there, and you’ve experienced the beautiful weather, food and culture, you will not want to return to the states for anything other than your income. Lagos city is the best!
This sounds like some Russian troll nonsense. There are always problems of some sort but it's not some lawless savage place. People go home and have family there they talk to all the time. Trying to make you scared of your own people.
Could be his own people too tho it's 50/50 roll the dice🤣🤣🤣
I know a guy in medical school from Nigeria. He came over to the states for school.
He came home the 1st time after, he stayed with his mom's then left for a few days.
He came back to his mom's place the next week and she told him people came looming for him. Tossed up his mom's house up and left.
She told him to leave cause somebody might have seen him.
Now, when he goes back he doesn't tell anyone and he doesn't go his mom's house. They meet in a random area.
And he's still in school. He ain't even making doctor money yet.
Keep fooling yourself.
I’ve seen my fair shares of madness in Nigeria, and it would be unwise to not have a little fear to keep you safe when you go back.
i just got back from Nigeria after spendin 10 months there. The code is to fly under the rader when you are not performing, dress down and look like everyone else or worse. DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISh, they will hear your accent and prey on you. only speak pigin English or your native language. Never get angry or raise your voice, be extremely polite. When ppl ask you for money, politely say No cuz Its a trap. Switch hotels, switch up routine, Act broke and be humble, no Flashy cars or lifestyle, any generous donation should be private and anonymous. Additional tip is avoid late night movement unless really necessary and don't go out if it is not important or necessary. Good luck bro, didn't even know you are a fellow Nigerian. Love your comedy. God Bless You and your richly !
My fam is from El Salvador. ALWAYS have an armed local w you
It’s not that deep, reach out to a few people you’re cool with over there and they’ll line up everything for you. Cardi B went she’s mad famous, she was fine, Chris brown went he was fine, Da baby went he was fine.
It’s not comparable. People who are foreigners are treated well. Once it’s known that you have family there, it’s a different story. Most of us who, like Godfrey, are first-generation Americans whose parents are Nigerian, know that these warnings are true and that the threat of kidnapping is much higher for us than for those who are not Nigerian. It’s very sad that things are such that it’s hard to go home and see family. It’s not impossible and you have to take precautions, but it’s a reality. 😐
Don’t do it Godfrey there not use to celebrities of your stature and fortune unless you plan on hiring mercenaries for protection! 😂
Don’t talk rubbish
He’s not bigger than da baby or cardi. Hell there are Nigerian artistes who are way richer than him.
But that can be real talk. Ppl saying u need to come back home, but make sure u know what “home” is. People from other countries always told me, don’t go beyond the tourist section & always have a guide, & try not to go alone. That advice, years later, never changes.
sad but very very true.
My mom just came back from Nigeria… there is a gas shortage for some reason, electricity is off more often lately, super hot right now… Victoria Island is lit and safe for the most part…
I bet some of these folks in that studio, besides Godfrey, never been to Nigeria let alone Africa.
yeah i wouldnt go i would honestly just listen to the comments love godfrey man
They say that about ppl coming to Chicago bro...... you know what it is
Niggas on top of niggas = garbage disposal.
My boy has family in lekki he just went in April. I’ll go to africa one day
Don’t be deterred from going, just go discreetly!
Mad funny. Even though here in Rio same thing lol.
That's crazy
If he wants to go, he can there are just some ground rules (which even those that live in Nigeria stick to). The same way there are ground rules in every country. He should connect with other comedians or entertainers in that space and they will guide him through. The ground rules differ from state to state,where you are going to and how you move. Stick to it and you will be more than fine.
