    Fun facts about this episode!
    1. That Nigerian prince skit was kind of based on a real email I got like 8 years ago.
    2. Yes, as a part time job I do hit jobs for the Duolingo bird when he's on his days off.
    Thanks to all you Nigerian geograpeeps for helping out in this video, and especially Benjamin and Claudia for being IN the video! You guys rock!

      There are areas which are in controversies and disputes like Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh which are allegedly and falsely claimed by Pakistan and China
      These areas and many more truly belongs to India and some parts of the areas are illegally occupied by Pakistan and China
      Pls don't believe in what your media says get your heads out of a comode
      And there are so many disputed areas in Pakistan and China like Balochistan, and in China the west areas inhabited by Muslim minority of China

    One thing I’ve noticed about Nigerians. They are usually very good at what they do, either good or bad. There is no ground for mediocrity. They are either evil geniuses who will sell their own children to get rich or excellent over zealous and ambitious bunch. They never want to be left behind. They just never give up, they just keep trying. They are also very confident people who may be perceived as arrogant bunch by other non Nigerians, but the reality is they love everybody. They can be friends with literally everybody once you get past the bravado. They can also be the life of the party or that annoying boisterous uncle at your birthday party. In all, they are generally nice and warm hearted people who will also push you to succeed. Just observations coming from a Jamaican who’s always had the fortunes of being around Nigerians from a young age. Well my step father is Nigerian. Married my mom when I was ten.

      A diverse world or an urban world are the best maps for playing the entire world. Of course there's no China or North Korea, and India only has like New Delhi. I think you can get Hong Kong though, and there's often Taiwan. You can pick the country yourself or city.
      When you play you use the compass and click on the flag to return to your original spot. Full 5000 points if you're less than 30 meters from your original location.
      Currently there's an annoying glitch on the game -__-

      A friend of mine played GeoGuessr like all the time, back in 8th, 9th and 10th grade. And one time, while I and two others were watching, he spawned in front of his uncle's house. He literary spawned just in front of his uncle's house! I remmeber he couldn't even believe it himself, so he spent like half an hour exploring evrything, to be total sure! I mean, back in those days Scandinavia was very overrepresented, but that he would spawn at his uncle's house, in the middle of nowhere is just ....

The southerners are the Insurgency free areas, whom are lively, those u meet mainly on Internet's and predominantly Christians, while the Northerners are the Ruling Regions predominantly Muslims, insurgency areas, Conservative and with meagre Human development. Don't see Nigeria as a well mixed Country where a few people can be used to explain Lot's of us.

    UN peace corps from varies countries was sent to Yugoslavia.
    In town where I and my family lived back than Nigerian peacekeepers were sent.
    One winter these peacekeepers organized New Years gifts for childrens. I remember that my mother teach me how to pronounce "thank you very much".
    When one Nigerian peacekeeper gave me present I sad "thank you very much" and he smiled and take a picture of me.
    My mom and other peacekeepers started to talk in english and one said that he's wife is pregnant and last time when they were talking he said to his wife "If baby is a girl, let her name be Krajina" (Name of region where that town was and my family lived in)
