You're right anyways. Nigerians just have this mentality and attitude that if they see a foreign person, the first thing that comes to their mind is to 'task' them. But I always feel ashamed seeing stuffs like this. And some of these guys or/women are people's husbands/wives

Exactly. It's exhausting seeing this shamelessness normalized. I lived in South Africa for 10 years before moving abroad ,the locals don't even care when they see people from abroad hence you see a lot of them visiting there in millions and mingling with locals because they don't feel like they need body guards to save them from anyone even taking public transport with every day people even Chris Brown did it when he was there recently and he was surprised that people didn't even notice him until he spoke out. And they still didn't harass him, if na Naija .

owobokiri:
Who took him to Lagos

He was visiting every popular city in Africa. So Lagos is the face of Nigeria 💁‍♀️

SixSeven:
It's only logical you start from Lagos because it's the commercial capital of the country and has the major international airport. By default, people come into the country through Lagos or sometimes Abuja.

I’m Nigerian, and I honestly can’t explain how much I dislike Lagos. Life there is not natural for humans. Everything is stressful, rushed, and chaotic, yet many people are proud of it. They will soon waylay iShowSpeed and brag about it.

Please let them send that boy back to the USA. I don’t want a situation tomorrow where they say Trump is demanding the release of a kidnapped citizen.

Lekki street boy for president

Jerryblaq:
Watching this only accentuates the level of poverty resident in our country especially Lagos.

I don't seem to understand the joy people tend to derive by making begging their profession

Nope it tells of greed! And shamelessness, some people are just born beggars… does that lazy boy look hungry? No! Many Nigerians are just greedy… I know someone who kept begging from his friends abroad till they found out he was building his house close to Arepo!

If na naija Chris Brown been visit so.....omonile and Owo boys for Lagos for run am better street.... You know, most of these things started from the street and graduated to the 'main roads'. I once worked in a private institution where the director's wife once asked me to wash her husband's car. The warning I gave the woman eh.... She couldn't believe her eyes. I told her am not a slave like other workers. If she needs a car washer she should hire one and never try that shit again with me. But my colleagues back then do jump at her request of doing domestic chores in her house....

Lagosians why

See as una just dey fall our hands

Who no know now go think say everybody for Nigeria na babiala.

I forget they have no shame or sense of order.God punish the selfish person that took him to Lagos instead of Abuja.

They carried a foreigner to an open air prison or barracks for hustlers.

SpaceX:
They will use begging to chase tourists away

See you... Na part of the tourist attraction...

But the characters of these guys no make sense. Dem no fit even beg small small, dem go just dey rush person. Yéyé pipu

Ihaveleftnaija:
So all the YouTubers Nigerians do this to are all planning it. You do know that everytime a foreigner vistists us,we tend to beg them for money especially in Lagos.

I don't know o, I am just knowing

APC said there is no hunger and poverty in Nigeria again, this is just a show of shame

You see,that's one of the things I hate about Nigeria; when someone gets in a position of power, then they feel the need to oppress others or rub the success in other people's faces. This is part of the reasons we find it difficult to live in peace with host nations of the countries we travel to. We are just too much in nonsensical things that irritate and embarass even sane Nigerians.

Nuh man ,this thing is too deep in our way of life ,especially in Lagos. People always feel entitled to someone else's money like they worked for it. You can overlook it as a Nigerian but it scares foreigners who are used to less chaos.

Pity them who because their man is in power they object to dissolution of the most dysfunctional country on earth.

That's true

APC: but food is so cheap now, why are people still begging?😁😁

Disguised and active begging quite common in the streets of Lagos

Alaefulu:
What is they guy actually know for please?

Same thing Peller and Carter Efe are known for here.

CSTRR:
The first time remo stars played in the CAF Champon league.
The citizens of Remo were begging the southafrican visiting team for food, and the southafricans were videoing them.

It was so embarrassing.

Enyimba and Rangers have been playing in the continent for decades without such an embarrassment.

Na true oooo

No be Poweredcom be that wey dey beg that small boy? 🤔

I understand your first few sentences and I am on the same page with you. I think people who were born and bred in Lagos think that is life until they travel out and see that what they call life is not normal. The outskirts still have some normalcy of life eg Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu and so on but Lagos like any commercial city in the world is full of chaos. New York is like that too. It's all hustle and business so I understand that is how most big cities are. Most people want the money and that's why these cities attract attention and motion.

I don't watch that streamer but I've seen a couple of his videos. I didn't even know he was 21, that's good on him because he has acted mature in some places I didn't expect. He has a lot of energy so Lagos and Port Harcourt go fit him craze It's not easy finding action film in real life so if they waylay him, it adds to his content. I wish him safety and good luck in his exploration of Africa. I hope he learns something about mama Africa while traveling.

IShowSpeed’s Nigeria trip just hit a whole new level of insanity! 🚨 While cruising through Lekki, Lagos, Speed was completely swarmed by hundreds of excited fans in a chaotic scene that quickly turned overwhelming. Hands reaching through windows, people pulling at him, police struggling to control the crowd—this is the raw, unfiltered moment everyone’s talking about.

Many Nigerians online are calling this blatant harassment rather than just “cruise,” saying it’s not the right way to welcome a global star and could damage the country’s image. What started as hype turned into something intense and potentially unsafe.

Nigeria is better than abroad more billionaire in lagos than abroad

SpencerForbes:
He was just trying to catch the Lagos vibe, even jumping in a danfo for the experience—too bad the "senior citizens" wouldn't let him be😂😂😂. On another note, I really feel like we shouldn't limit visitors to just Lagos. Nigeria has a lot of hidden gems that are just as amazing.

You're very correct bro. Boris Johnson was in owerri sometime and the man no wan go back. Hehehehehe

Tendd:
The guy has been touring all across Africa but boom, he reaches Nigeria,they start begging and soliciting for money.I am sure he already noticed the same thing right from the airport.Begging has been embedded as the norm in this country.No iota of pride or self-esteem.

And the saddest part is that most of those guys are not even hungry...just greedy for any money by habit, and just see him as an easy ATM.. Sad mentality.

Among other things, the young man already described Lagos as a smelly place. A whole Lagos. The same Lagos built by Tinubu. My Lasgidi. Meanwhile ask those beggars, they will swear that Tinubu is the next thing that happened to mankind after porridge plantain..!

Haa

Nigeria is a shithole.

Unless we get a rare generational and transformational leader in the mould of lee kuan yee, or deng xioping, , there is no hope for this country.

Things don too spoil.

They are hungry.
The poverty rate in Nigeria is a world record.
What's the point in self deceit?

Comfortable people don't line on the streets in the hot sun, begging a stranger for money.
