This was very informative not to mention, very fun to watch. I've so much nostalgia just from watching your videos. Too often the media especially in this country focuses on the graphic horrendous livelihood of the average Nigerian, so i appreciate for sharing both sides, in the beginning of this vlog & in the end. Nne well done o!
Thank you for the support and nice words
Yup! Africans are the only set of people on earth who base the narrative of their continent on the perspectives of the poor & uneducated members of their society!!!
What is a “real Nigerian”? The hungry man on the street or the Nigerian tech giants, oil giants, billionaire industrialists, or the showbiz celebrities????
Here in the UK, we have our hungry, poor, homeless white British citizens but we never let them set the tone of our national image!
It’s incredibly foolish, naive & counterproductive to all the perspective of the poor dictate the narrative of your country!
Always put your best foot forward! Stop making documentaries of African poverty just to glorify white imperialism! Focus on black excellence!!!
@@RoyaIboy Certainly, you do have a good point here. But at the same time, I must remind you, when the number of poor people are rather overwhelming, that stat has to be reflected. Otherwise, a salient fact has been omitted.
So, one way or the other, that poor segment of the population, which is very relevant, must find its way into the overall picture, if your information has to be taken seriously and factually.
My concluding take is, the poor, given that they are mostly handicapped by their level of information and exposure, may not set the tone, but we can’t discount their social objective presence, which is increasingly overwhelming.
By the way, Nigeria is not a wealthy or rich country. Potentially, yes. In reality, no.
Or what do you think, based on the socio-economic reality on ground?
I really enjoyed your video. Great channel.⭐️⭐️⭐️
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱
Thank you
Amazing... I love Nigeria my country... It's indeed a nice place to be..
Thanks yes I love Nigeria as well!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video. It showcased Nigeria in a way that folks out here in the west hardly see. I love your clear, concise narration and steady, panoramic views of the city of Abuja. Now I can use your experience to get my daughters to visit Nigeria. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you really appreciate your comment. My parents started taking us back when we were young, so I’ve grown to love Nigeria. Yes feel free to share my videos with them, and if it encourages them to travel that would be great.
One of my favourites! I love those who instil hope into others and not those who take away one's hope. Thank you for showing Nigeria's glory to the world. May God bless your work.
Thank you really appreciate your comment!
@@Blossom2Fitness you're welcome ma
I must confess, I prefer your writing. Although, with a caveat. I haven’t watched your other videos, as you said it’s a seven-part series.
But coming to your writing. It’s so thorough, lucid, comprehensive etc. You provide all requested information and go beyond to anticipate further relevant ones. I’m inclined to conclude it’s your nature. Because it’s almost a standard for all the enquiries you attended.
Well, I hope you’re not turned off by my current choice. Because you’d naturally prefer people liking your video more. But I couldn’t help loving your writing. Brilliant!
You’ll be a wonderful teacher!
Thank you, I’m quite flattered by your comment. Sometimes I wonder who even reads my blog. Thank you for reading and watching. I really do appreciate your comment.
Wow I did an Abuja travel video as well. Good job!
Thanks for watching. I’ll check yours out too!
New subscriber here.. Ur skin is gorgeous. Thanks for this info. Iam visitng my husband this year in abuja.
Thanks for the compliment and for the support. This was my first time in Abuja and I really loved. There’s so much to do. You will enjoy your visit!
You are beautiful too
Traveling to Abuja in March! I appreciate your channel as I've been nervous about the Covid protocols, not about Nigeria itself. New subscriber here! 😊
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Hope you enjoy your trip
Great and informative video Blossom!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for the video Blossom! I will be in Owerri for the first time in two weeks. Great tips on using the portal. I will surely pay before arrival. I wish I could’ve arrived through Abuja instead of Lagos airport, otherwise I’m super excited! Enjoy your trip back home!
Thanks no problem, just trying to be helpful. Because of covid restrictions I heard Lagos airport is much more calm now and a bit more organized. I hope you have a good trip. Feel free to check out my Owerri videos from last year czcams.com/video/544YOcM-LPc/video.html currently making new Owerri videos from this trip.
This video was VERY well done and VERY informative. Thanks so much for making it.
Thank you appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 🙏🏽
Greta video .. I always wanted to visit there!! This was a great experience
Thanks. You definitely should visit Nigeria one day
while you're wondering if it's safe, I've gone and I'm back!
Lol me too! Hope you had a fun trip. Thanks for commenting
You just saved me $150! Thank you queen!!!!!!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this video!! I am supposed to travel to Nigeria at the end of the year. But I have been so skeptical because I was unsure if it was safe to do so. I also wondered if you need to quarantine. I kept seeing that you have to quarantine for seven days and then take the test. But it doesn’t look like you had to do that. So that makes me feel much better also!
I don’t know anyone who quarantines the only thing was doing the covid test while there. Again check current rules in regards to covid testing because I travelled earlier this year. Nigeria is quite safe for foreigners in my opinion so you shouldn’t have anything to really worry about assuming you are not traveling to northern Nigeria. What part of Nigeria will you be traveling to?
@@Blossom2Fitness I appreciate your response! I value your insight since you go there often. I will be traveling to Abuja in December. I will be spending time in Cross River for the Calabar Carnival. I’d like to see Lagos as well. I will be getting my Yellow Fever shot soon so I can have that done and out of the way.
Thanks for informing me about the COVID testing part
No problem please check their website for most up to date guidelines I went in January
I always enjoy your channel. Thanks for the information
Thanks!
The most beautiful airport ISTANBUL ❤️❤️
Lovely country I can't travel abroad go look for who.I love naija but na our government be our problem.Two of my brothers are in California and 3 of my sisters are in Dallas,Alaska and New York city.But I can't travel out side becos I love naija so much once am working and living fine what do I go outside Nigeria to do.All I know is that Nigeria is a beautiful country with bad leaders nothing much.Our prayers is to get a saviour.In my next world I will be from Nigerian.But I pray for better leaders.Not that I live comfortable there are people who live in poverty too.God help us all
Yes Nigeria is a beautifully blessed country and only if the government would function properly Nigeria would like heaven. Inept greedy leaders are the cause of Nigeria’s problems. Stay blessed and thank you for watching!
It kind of sadenss me that other states don't look this good. Abuja looks like this because it is the capital. Clearly NG has enough money to build the entire country but the goverment is so freaking corrupt ugh. But as you said Nigerians are resilient and very hardworking so who knows what the future holds. Grate video btw, stay safe :)
I agree Nigeria has so much potential to be one of the best countries in the world only if the government could get things together. And thank you 🙏🏽
Other state are catching up portharcourt ,Lagos,kano just that every star have it nice and ugly side
@@gamemminfo2048 Yeah you are right.
facts. 🦋
@@gamemminfo2048 also Calabar, Akwa ibom, Enugu
Thanks for the video. I'm going to Abuja thi October 2021. My entire family is against the travel but I'm going anyway. I will share your videos to my family, maybe it'll help calm down. I have questions: How did you get the Visa? Can you do it 100% online? Also where can I get the details about all that Covid info once you get to Abuja? Thanks in advance ☺
nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/onboarding/guidelines
Honestly you should be fine especially in Abuja it’s such a calm and quiet city. And as a foreigner Nigerians treat you with more respect I think. I actually have a Nigerian passport so I did not get a visa. But last year when I took my daughter we got her a visa by mail through the Nigerian Embassy in Atlanta. It took like 3 weeks to come. There are 3 Nigerian embassies here in the US; NYC, ATL, and DC. They all function independently of one another. So you will have to choose one go to there website and follow the steps there…..and thanks for watching and sharing my videos really appreciate it
Also bear in mind I traveled earlier this year so guidelines for traveling may have changed. So do check the website link for updates
@@Blossom2Fitness I appreciate all the tips 😊
You're welcome home 🙌
Thank you
I have family traveling from Abuja to Owerri just as you did. They would like to arrive in Abuja and leave to Owerri the same day. How much time did it take to clear customs and present your COVID documentation? How much time overall would you plan for?
Honestly it only took us like 30mins or less to get through customs, present documents, and collect our bags. But mind you, my mom was in a wheelchair so we didn’t wait in line and we landed at like 6am so the airport was nearly empty. My husband came through Lagos and went to Owerri the same day he said it took him like an hour to get through customs. He landed in the morning and took an afternoon flight to Owerri. So i personally would give myself 4 hours just to be safe and give time to check into the Owerri flight. Bear in mind if you are using an American or foreign passport it will take you longer to get through customs. I use my Nigerian passport. And once you collect your bags you may need to go outside and take a taxi a few minutes to the local airport Terminal. I’m not exactly sure proximity from the international terminal to the local terminal.....It may only take you 2 hrs to get through everything realistically if you land early morning but just to be safe give yourself more time.
@@Blossom2Fitness Thanks! I appreciate it. My family would be using a green passport and getting in early. Apparently the local terminal is within ?walking distance too. We’ll see. Also great job with the video and soundtrack.
@@DatPennKid thanks hope you and your family have a good vacation!
cool, nicely done
Welcome Home,Niaja Queen.
I loved this video I will be traveling to Abuja soon and I wanted to know if you received a regular covid test? I will be traveling by way of Turkish as well and they ask for a PCR Test?
I did a PCR covid test. Thank you for watching
@@Blossom2Fitness Thank you. Also is this test free like the regular test?
You should consult with wherever you plan on taking the test. No covid test I’ve taken has been free.
This is the NEW airport already? The renovated one??
Yes in Abuja. The renovations at the Lagos Airport are still not complete
Is there any vaccinations that are required or need to travel to Nigeria? I will be traveling in December to Abuja.
Quick question, were you able to get access to wifi in Istanbul airport? Im looking into flying to LOS but the layover is about 10hrs at the Istanbul airport, do you think that is manageable at all from the small things you were able to see?
Yes I used free WiFi, I don’t remember how long a session lasted. You have to find a WiFi station register your passport and it prints a password for you. My layover was also like 9 hours in Istanbul. I explored for a bit, ate food, and I registered both my passports for the WiFi so I could use it longer. I imagine you can pay for WiFi too, I just don’t like to because sometimes you pay and it doesn’t work. The time actually went by pretty fast
@@Blossom2Fitness Thank you very much. I’m excited for my layover can’t wait to see how well it goes
Hey! But you didn't show all process they are doing it with covid and immigration...
Please do children also take covid test 7 days after arriving Nigeria? Should the form be also filled for them?
Good question. The website states “Diplomats and children less than 10 years old are exempted from payment for the repeat COVID-19 test.” I copied this directly from the website. I assume if they are under 10 you do not have to pay to retest, but testing is still required. For travel to and from US everyone age 2 and older must test. So I would assume you must fill a form for everyone traveling age 2 and older. But you do not have to pay if they are under 10 years old. But you should verify with them because it does not state this anywhere. And I did not travel with a child so I’m not sure. Hope this helps
New subscriber thankssss
Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏽
OMG I'm glad I found this video! I have questions please how do I get in touch with you?
You can email me or message me in Instagram
Am from Owerri too
Are you currently living in Owerri? Im coming to visit soon for the first time
I'm going to travel to Nigeria soon... I want to know If I will need vaccines to get and show on Immigration?
Can an American citizen visit right now? I have a regular blue passport but I don't have the green African one..I thought I saw the website that unless you have certain business there then you can't travel??? I hope I'm wrong because I would love to go..can you help???
Very good question. My aunt just traveled to Nigeria and came back in January and she traveled with an American passport and visa. I used my Nigerian passport to travel to Nigeria though so I wouldn’t be able to tell you the process to get a visa right now. But I know it is possible.
Omg thank you SO much! So all I need is a visa to travel to Nigeria..like your Aunt..girl thanks for the lovely video and very soon I will post my very own when I travel to Owerri..as soon as I get my visa..💙💙💙
@@Robloxstotygirl aww yay! i hope you have fun. 🦋🤗
My dear ask yourself how are the Nigerian billionaires, prominent rich dudes and celebs staying there or often travel and stay in the country? We in diaspora have this funny mindset that Nigeria is a dead zone. Which country do you think doesn't have high risk place and low risk? Name it, visit USA, UK, Italy and many others and u will agree with me in 2seconds. ✌️✌️
I think I already agree with you. Did you actually watch any of my videos?
Blossom2Fitness, how tall are you? Do you speak the Igbo language, since your mother is from Amaigbo.? This is because almost everyone spoke English to you, and you rarely replied in Igbo?
What vaccinations were required? Polio and yellow fever?
I believe only yellow fever. But you should double check because as a citizen of Nigeria they don’t check us for vaccines so I’m not sure
@@Blossom2Fitness thanks
Many thanks for this video. It’s so helpful. Please what currency did you use in buying your meal at the airport and even paying for WiFi?
The WiFi is free. I used my debit card US dollars. And thanks for watching
I'm going in November and this seems so complicated 😕😪
Hi blossom, great video 👍🏻 I tried what you did with the travel permit but I never got the email with the temporary QR code sent to me. Completed the form last night now it's morning and nothing yet, only the registration confirmation. How long did you have to wait to get the second email with the QR code?
I believe you can go back to website enter your info and retrieve the QR code if it was never sent.
@@Blossom2Fitness thank you for your response, I just tried again got a message "This record does not exist" they totaled me 200$ way higher than what's needed for 2 covid-19 tests. I'm paying already😤. Now I pay to get into my own country smh. 👎🏼
Question I'm planning trip to see my bf who is from Nigeria I'm getting stuff in order for my trip what all will I need to do I'm scared
Why are you scared? And what part of Nigeria are you traveling to?
So I don't understand, If I get to do my covid test in usa, do I still do another one in 9ja
Yes you have to do another one. Nigeria requires that you take another covid test after 7 days arriving there.
@@Blossom2Fitness hey when they say you have to 7 day quarantine once you get in Nigeria .. what do they actually mean? Because it seems you went right out and explored
@@amyt6638 I’m not sure what they mean by 7 day quarantine. I don’t know anyone who quarantined themselves upon arrival in Nigeria. When you land you are free to do what you want the only thing mandatory was the covid test in Nigeria. Use your best judgment when going out wear a mask when around others, social distance, and avoid staying in indoor spaces with a lot of people. Most people in Nigeria don’t believe covid exist.
@@Blossom2Fitness thanks love
I subscribe to you
Thanks for the support!
Which airline did you decide to use?
I took Turkish airlines booked through ASAP tickets though based on my experience using ASAP tickets I can not recommend them. The price was cheaper than normal and it was a last minute trip which is why I booked it. Nothing special or particular bad about Turkish airlines the flight was ok, the food on flight could have been better......I typically fly Delta
Thank you so much for your response!
M coming to Nigeria next month, how much is the pcr test online if you are to pay from the USA 🇺🇸
I don’t remember as I traveled in January. I just remember it costing a bit more in dollar. You should check their website as the travel guidelines change. Link to the website is in the description box
Im traveling to Abuja Nigeria in March. Please help me! I’ll be traveling my myself 😳 help help
