Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by Glimpsetv(op): 4:13pm On Jan 11

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMaLJdebWsw?si=NX0q98YYH6zOhtcp

A lady has stirred reactions online after sharing a video of a quiet part of the United States she claims people rarely see or talk about.

In the video, she filmed a calm, low-key neighborhood that appeared far from the glamorous image of America often portrayed in Hollywood movies. Her clip seemed aimed at showing that not every part of the US is flashy or luxurious, suggesting that some areas look almost “ghetto-like” compared to what many people expect.


However, many Nigerians were quick to disagree with her portrayal. Several commenters pointed out that the area did not look bad at all, noting that the roads were well-paved and that residents were likely enjoying basic amenities such as clean water and 24-hour electricity—luxuries that are still lacking in some parts of Nigeria, even in areas with impressive buildings.


In the video, the lady could be heard repeatedly saying, “Could you believe this is America? This is the United States of America,” while laughing.


The clip has since generated mixed reactions, with many Nigerians stating that they would gladly live in such a place without hesitation rather than remain in Nigeria, citing better infrastructure and living conditions.

Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments.

So guys, Would you live here, or would you rather stay in Nigeria?

Summary:

A lady sparked online reactions after filming a quiet, ordinary neighborhood in the United States to show that America is not always as glamorous as portrayed in movies. While she suggested the area looked “ghetto-like,” many Nigerians disagreed, noting the good roads, likely steady electricity, and clean water. Some argued that every big city has less flashy areas and that this part of the US still looks far better and more livable than many ghettos in Nigeria, with many saying they would gladly live there.

I don't understand what she was trying to portray. What's wrong with that place?
Are the roads not car worthy?
Don't they have 24 hours light?
Don't they have accessible hospitals?
She hasn't explained to us what we need to learn from there? Does it flood in that street?
What's the overall quality of life in the Zip Code?

This is how we look for trouble.
I can bet you, that Lady just arrived the U.S

That's a rural area in America...like a village or a small town.

Let her compare that place to Iragbiji or Ifewara or Echumofana here in Nigeria.

If you wan compare Lekki, then you go LA, Washington, or even Las Vegas.

Even that small town she's showing us better pass Lekki in every area... infrastructure, electricity, water, neatness, civilization.

Nonsense comparism...

This is by far better than some capital cities in Naija.
As modest as it looks, it has the basic infrastructure a city should have.
Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by brain54(m): 6:26pm On Jan 11
What I don't understand is why people here are insulting her...

Obviously compared to other parts of US the place looks dingy.


Some people are just insulting without even understanding clearly the message she is trying to pass across.


I give up on some of you guys!
Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by 9jabox(m): 6:26pm On Jan 11
Funny comments here tho. But let’s be honest, can we compare this place to the hinterlands in Nigeria?
Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by APOPTOSIS: 6:26pm On Jan 11

Not rural but an Old town.
This is like people who keep saying UAE or Qatar is more beautiful than the U.S..
The fact is those countries are emerging and one wouldn't expect them to build old structures but newer designs.

The day Nigeria starts investing its oil money wisely, Nigeria will shop for more advanced structures than old town countries.
The U.K, France, Belgium and many more have old structures that they regularly maintain.
It's simple

Far better than most capital of Nigerian states.

She should be deported
She shall be deported to fully complete are comparison study

The GDP of that town is probably bigger than the entire North East Nigeria. Giving it a cursory gaze, one can tell the infrastructure quality is top-notch. All the streetlights would be functioning. The roads are of good quality. There's very minimal level of soil exposure, the town appears to be well paved, even on the pedestrian side of the road. How many Nigerian bourgeois city areas can compare to this? Or her verdict is based on the sparse buildings? And I'm certain election rigging is non existent there. So?? What's the fuss?

You need to see what they even call villages in Canada or China. They're organized than most cities here

Nigeria and all of Africa has been promoted as underdeveloped for decades. It is not news.

America has an underbelly which often isn't displayed to the rest of the world.

She's done nothing wrong by revealing it those who are unaware.

Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by franchasng: 6:29pm On Jan 11
America is the greatest nation on earth.


A land flowing with milk and honey waiting for just anybody willing to gather the milk and honey.



The only country where even illegal migrants make money doing legitimate menial jobs that make them more comfortable than citizens of European, Canadian and British citizens doing legitimate jobs.


The only country where there are more than enough legitimate jobs even for those without legal papers.



Don't let anybody deceive you, pray to be in America someday even if its the remotest part and your family will be glad and proud of you.

She clearly has not watched any hood movies or TV shows. Ghettos feature prominently in American media.
Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by Cherrybae(f): 6:30pm On Jan 11
This place is far better than Abia state and Imo state.

Come back home and visit Abia and imo state

May be you are. Therr are.many bad parts in the US. I have seen many over the years.
In fact there are roads that are not paved, there are many poverty areas, many crime invested areas. Come to Albany Ga and you will people living like back in the slave trade era.
I was working with FEMA back in the late 90s and I just couldn't believe that I was still in the US while working in places such as Albany GA, and so.e rulra parts of Tennessee.
Go to rural Kentucky and see poverty.
Obviously no sane person can compare US with Nigeria. When the US was already in the industrial age your are people still dey cover their yanc with leaves.
The US is the largest and most advanced economy in the world.

Trying to compare the 2 is illogical but having said that, US has many poor people and areas.
The people that are always talking bad about Nigeria forget that what made the US great is the people, the people are the.govt .
Your govt is a microcosm of what you the people are. The govt simply reflects what the Nigerian people are.

Every city has its own ghetto undecided
Re: Lady Shows The Part Of America They Don’t Talk About, Nigerians React (Photos/Vi by ogascomax: 6:32pm On Jan 11
There is ghetto everywhere in the world. There are places for low earners. Not everywhere is developed all around the world. Not a news to some of us.
