No beefing at all! Tayo Aina has proven that Nigerians are naturally endowed with excellence if only we care to bring it to limelight. His videos exudes excellence than Wode Maya of Ghana. I stream your videos like mad and even introduced 7 friends to your channel who are active subscribers. From your moscow video to dubai to zanzibar all of them to mention dope.

Kizito2nv: How many Igbos live in parts of the north and all over the country other than in the east? If they have the numbers like you adduced, why are they afraid of having a real census? It defies the laws of nature that you have more population in a desert than in green Savanah. |
Re: Seychelles Is Not What You Think It Is! (cost Of Living) by Kizito2nv(m): 11:46pm On Dec 15, 2021 |
UnabashedIPOB: I get your point, if all the igbos are to return home south east will not contain us because of our minut landmass, And I agree on the part of the north shying away from true census, using religion and "Bashiga" as excuse, There are other factors you have to consider too. The land mass in the north is very large, And like you said its desert, which is not totally true, with the little rain the north gets their land is good for perennial plants lik rice, beans, onions millet corn soybeans, groundnut, etc. That aside the cost of living in the north is relatively cheaper than any part of the country, Now here wher a man is entitled to 4 wife at a time aside concubine and ex wives, and avarge northerner has at least 10 children even though they still have high mortality rates too but it counts When you add some of these factors you might reason to thier numerical strength But it's not proven yet 2 Likes |

[quote author=Konquest post=130659995][/quote] Lol. I see the good work you are doing.π Thanks for bumping this post. Seychelles has been on my bucket list for a minute....but not after this video. The beaches looks fantastic but it appears it is missing ( and the OP confirmed it) a bit of culture and history. I'll be giving this a miss. 1 Like |
Re: Seychelles Is Not What You Think It Is! (cost Of Living) by Konquest: 10:49am On Jun 26 |
shaybebaby:@Shaybebaby, how's it going? I've just read your mention. I didn't realize that "my good work" is being "spied on" here. Lol. Just a quick one, I first read a few weeks back some NL thread pages of your 7 and half hours UK road trip and loved how you paid attention to details. The images of the moving cars, food and lush green countrysides were absolutely breathtaking (with the crisp uploaded images which felt like I was viewing live scenes from a video clip). As a well-traveled man who is big on global business and leisure travels (which expand your worldview and give you unique multicultural perspectives in life), I'll say that you CAN'T take in absolute terms everything that Tayo Aina has stated in his insightful Seychelles video though. I've followed Tayo on YouTube for 5 years now and actually viewed this video off NL when he first made it back in 2021, so, I had to bump it up again here. I can see that the BEACHES, culture and history are of concern to you, but then Seychelles is a "confluence" of 115 islands, so, YOU have to choose the best islands or locations that would activate your primal senses... Giving you cultural and historical experiences to embrace while on holidays. You can also use a travels and tour firm to make your trip from the UK to the Seychelles and back easypeasy. Did you know that Prince William and Kate Middleton had their honeymoon on North Island (one of the many Islands of the Seychelles) and they spent a lot of time on the beach front and also did some island explorations? Seychelles is a breathtaking collection of several islands (115 of them) just like the Bahamas Islands. The most inhabitable islands are Mahe, La Digue, Praslin, Ste. Anne (St. Anne) which are some of the favorite islands in the Seychelles. Last but not least, indeed, among the pros and cons of the Seychelles Islands is that it's a beautiful place with a lot of biodiversity but it can also be quite expensive especially on Mahe (which is the capital city and main Island), but it's wise to shop around online for budget options while embarking on any international leisure travels for those on a budget. There's also a heroin drug addiction problem there with almost every family having a member who is dealing with drugs addiction, but the government and NGOs are working on rehab for the folks affected and have cracked down on the drug traffickers who are majorly foreigners. The folks there are generally VERY welcoming and it's a great place with scenic beaches and crystal clear blue ocean waters that you should visit for the summer and year end holidays anytime in the near future. I have an insightful video in my archives on the Seychelles. I'll search for it later and give you the vid link on this thread or another thread. I hope this helps. Ciao. ![]() |

@ Shaybebaby, how's it going? Right below are some of my archived Seychelles videos I promised to share with you on this thread. The FIRST TWO videos will give you more insights on the historical places in Seychelles and the largely Creole culture of the people of Seychelles. The THIRD video is a "Seychelles Travel Guide" that delves into the best times of the year [April to May & October to November of each year] to visit Seychelles, and more. Hopefully, these would trigger your curiosity to visit the off-coast African country for your next holidays... Easypeasy. Enjoy...

Konquest:I've watched the video and indeed the beaches are stunning... But I'm afraid, that's it. Yes, the mountain views are lovely, but it is missing a certain je ne cest quoi ..kinda like a pretty post card. I think it's a lack of distinct culture as in what makes the people who they are, how they live..all of that adds to certain vibe. I've been to Cuba, and the island had a Latin vibe, evident in the music, their dance ( Salsa) , mix of rural living and Havana looking like it was stuck in the 60's. I'd argue the beaches rival the Seychelles but all the above I mentioned made it much more than a beautiful destination. 1 Like |

The curiosity had to have been there in the first place. Thank goodness for the kind of dad you had who created avenues for it to nurtured not stifled.@Shaybebaby, A-ha, your feedback here is insightful. First off, my day has been LARGELY good, thanks for asking (I hope you're having a great time too in the wake of the UK elections that brought in a new Labor Party Prime Minister)... The only exception for me is that I got hit by the very annoying NL antispam bot on one of the older NL Politics Section threads. This is the reason by I couldn't respond to your first reply to me on that thread and I had to quote your feedback here. Tbh, I absolutely see NO reason why the so-called antispam bot still exists on this Website. I've sent a message to the Supermods to UNTAG that my important hidden post and I'm hopefully looking forward to getting the post released for viewing. Sometimes you don't get your NL post back after the antispam bot ban has expired despite emailing the Supermods. Back to the Canary Islands (Las Islas Canarias) adventures of Shaybebaby and her fam, that location called Fuerteventura is a bit of tongue twister at first. lol =>https://www.visitfuerteventura.com/en/ It (Fuerteventura) has some fascinating beachfront scenes from what I've seen online today. If I get you correctly, are you saying that I should give the "Canary islands" a miss... which as you said here is just "one big barren black rock?" But then again, if you dive deeply into your subconscious, there must have been some positives that you took away from Fuerteventura Island even though you seemed to "hate" it. The opportunity to eat the Fuerteventura cuisines, the fresh breeze that wafted through the air and gently glided over your skin while tossing your hair, and much more. Last but NOT least, what's the significance of your NL username? What does the coinage mean? |

shaybebaby:@Shaybebaby, Tbh, I think that you or anybody else can ONLY find out about the folks living in ANY country and the TRUE vibes (distinct cultures) that they exude when you get to physically visit them. Yes, Seychelles citizen can be a bit laid back unlike in Brazil, Jamaica or Cuba where you feel the cultural energy through music, cuisines, huge carnivals, etc. The travel brochures and video sharing sites aren't gonna give you that vibe you're looking for except you're telling me you've got clairvoyant powers for teleporting yourself back-and-forth from places you haven't visited before. Maybe I should come visit you to read my well-conditioned palms in order to know what extra riches are in store for me down the road. ![]() Praslin Island and La Digue Island in the Seychelles are absolutely stunning locations for me without a shadow of doubt. At least they should be visited once in a lifetime if you want to experience some inner peace while holidaying and be in tune with the simple things of life by connecting to nature. Shaybebaby, that's mad cool... You've visited Cuba? What year did you visit? I have a Nigerian-American friend and she has been to Cuba as well in the late 2010s. What really FIRST drew YOU to Cuba? You seem like someone who wouldn't waste time in having the fun of your life drinking Cuban Pina colada and tasting other Cuban cuisines while vigorously swaying from side-to-side to the rhythms of salsa and Afro-Cuban music? *smirk* One of my favorite international Afro-Cuban music groups is called the "Orishas" and the members have been based in France, and I've got all their albums right from the early 2000s (with the tracks replicated on my laptops and mobile devices). That's one country I've planned to visit from 2025 for the cultural experience with Old Havana and Matanzas Province being very dear to me. Cubans have got a rich linguistic and cultural connection with the Yoruba folks of Nigeria (and other West African Yorubas) as well and they speak Cuban Lucumi (Yoruba). Lukumi is actually the original way Yorubas would greet one another going back to several centuries and it's derived from "Olukumi" meaning "my friend/my confidant." Did YOU know that based on slave ship records, about 250,000 Yorubas were deported on slave schooners to Cuba and about the same number to mainly the state of Bahia in Brazil from the late 1700s right into the 1800s when it peaked due to the Haitian revolution and the lose of Haiti by France as a fallout of the Haitian revolution (which ended plantation slavery there and led to a major shift of plantation slavery to Cuba and Brazil)? Fortunately, they weren't as brutal as that of the United States where chattel plantation slavery was very CLEARLY more brutal with the separation of family members who got sold to other plantations... NEVER to see each other again. That's in the past now but the consequences of those actions are with us today in the form of jazz music, salsa, merengue, and other respected international music forms straight out of the indomitable spirit of the African Diaspora. The stars are indeed aligning in my favour with your prior visit to Cuba. I'll surely bounce some unique tips off you as we head towards my lift off or visit to that country... Strictly as a leisure traveler. Take care... Talk to you later. Au revoir. ![]() |
