A bag of water? 🤷🏽‍♂️ I had NO IDEA this existed… 🇳🇬💧

In Nigeria, you don’t always buy a bottle of water… you buy a bag of water.

For just ₦50 (less than 5¢) you can buy a so-called Pure Water. It is around 4x cheaper than bottled water, and there’s even a technique to drinking it.

Let’s just say… I needed a little coaching from my friend @authentic_traveling 😂

It’s one of those small everyday things that makes traveling so much fun. You think you’ve seen it all, and then a simple bag of water teaches you something new.

Traveling Nigeria is one big adventure! 🫶🏼

While we wait for the visa interview, we have been meeting up in Tijuana every year around this time. It is a convenient way for us to be together close but not quite in the United States.

It is also very good way to meet up with my family as they can fly into San Diego and cross the border.

My wife has visas for Canada and Mexico and been to both multiple times but never the USA. It’s crazy that it takes this long.

The US will no longer issue visas to the spouses and children of US citizens if they are from the following countries:

Afghanistan, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Cuba, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gabon, Gambia, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar (Burma), Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe

Technically there is an exception for some of the countries if issuing that visa is within the United States’s national interest but this is extremely vague and likely very difficult to prove.

This means that as it stands as of yesterday evening, as a US citizen, I cannot bring my spouse to the United States. Not even to visit.

A lot of Americans do not understand how difficult it is to bring a spouse to the United States legally. The process takes years of living apart while waiting for visa interviews.

I will continue to make these posts raising awareness about this issue. It receives almost no press and politicians from both sides of the aisle never talk about it. Please like and share this video to bring awareness to it.

It looks like you could easily walk around the end at low tide

But due to the border patrol anyone crossing is almost certain to be caught and it is much more difficult to stay in the US while waiting for an asylum claim compared to years past.

According to an article in the BBC, illegal crossings at the US Mexico border have hit their lowest level in over half a century according to federal data.

Mogadishu is not what I expected 🇸🇴 

It is certainly a country with problems but at the same time it has so much potential.

Mogadishu is so beautiful right on the ocean. Sunny with a nice breeze and fresh fruit sold everywhere. Smoothies, juice, fresh caught seafood and a lot of camel milk comes to mind now when I think about Somalia’s capital.

If you’re interested in seeing more about this country from an alternative perspective, give me a follow!

I saw they have KFC in Northern Nigeria

But I was really surprised to learn that they meant “Kano Fried Chicken”

And overall it was a great experience. Much better than the actual KFC.

🇳🇬 In no other West African country I came across this! So I didn’t expect Nigeria to have it either… 🤷🏽‍♂️

One of the biggest surprises during my trip to Lagos wasn’t the food, the markets or the traffic… it was discovering a modern railway running right through the city.

@authentic_traveling told me it connects Lagos with cities like Ibadan and Abeokuta, and just as we were talking about it… the train actually came flying past. 😅

I genuinely didn’t expect this side of Nigeria, and it’s moments like these that remind me why I love traveling: every destination has surprises that completely challenge your assumptions!

A legit train in Nigeria? Now I want to train travel in Nigeria. 🤗

Lagos International Airport recently banned ride share apps like Uber from picking up passengers at the airport.

They’re telling everyone to use the new app owned by government which costs significantly more. Rides went from 6K to Ikeja to 30K when this new app came out.

But follow my hack and walk about 5 mins away from the airport and you can get a normal ride share for a much better price!

According to some news reports this is all supposed to be temporary while the government creates a better system to handle ride share at the airport but in the meantime the airport taxi drivers go chop very well

If Nigerian men are struggling… they drink this! 😜🇳🇬

Low sperm count? Apparently Nigeria has a drink for that too! 😂🍹

We stumbled across these homemade herbal mixtures and I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at.

Some are even mixed with gin 🥃, others are completely non-alcoholic, and they all seem to have their own supposed purpose.

Waist pain? There’s a mixture.

Need an energy boost? There’s a mixture.

Low sperm count? Yep… there’s a mixture for that too. 😂💪🏼

Nigeria keeps surprising me every single day! 🤪

BREAKING NEWS: US halts all immigrant visa applications

This is no longer a 75 country pause or 39 country ban. ALL countries are now unable to move forward with interviews for immigrant visa applications.

This would effect anyone trying to bring family members or immigrate to the US under employment based green cards.

This does not affect non-immigrant visas like tourist visas.

This is despite these applications paying all fees and following the legal process as set up by Congress.

Who knows how long this “temporary pause” will last considering the last one made it 9 months and was only struck down in court.

Follow along as I will continue to make these videos as news on the topic of immigration and visas breaks.
