There is other ways to represet your cultural
Good documenrary of the "Hyena Men".
Hi
Then growing up in Kano, Nigeria in the 1999 period they will carry this hyenas door by door. It is the Hausa culture.
10:42 Thats pure truth from that guy man the world is different so as the culture.
This is crazy! I feel sorry for those animals.
How disgusting and terrible this is to watch. Yet, eating meat or other animal products is even worse! Just try taking a look at what happens inside a slaughterhouse—something that the vast majority of the world does. And don’t try to argue that "it’s different because it’s for food"; you almost certainly belong to a part of the world where you could eat thousands of other things. So, don’t make excuses—you eat it purely for convenience and taste. That is no valid justification for killing and mistreating animals.
It looks fascinating to encounter these unusual people in Nigeria. Discovering different ways of life and cultures is truly interesting.
Was the dog ok? Seemed so friendly 🙁
Africas biggest state

Trying to push western world believes on a country like that is just perfetic if you ask me all you did is make then look like shit it isnt the western world it isnt a nice place and it seems like this was made for the western world to make then selves look good its life real life get over it be thankful they dont do it to going extinct animals
In many African countries Nigeria is also called the curse of Africa and that says it all.
I’m never visiting Nigeria.
This old
What’s the point? We follow you consistently, waiting and searching alongside you for the hyenas—but now that you’ve finally reached them, you’ve blurred them out and hidden them from the video! What is wrong with you? What value does this video have now?
Unfortunately for them, this is normal, but for us, it is extreme cruelty.
culture culture culture
what does that justify?
NOTHING
Terrible. 😩
love you drew from lagos
My take is that as bizarre as it may seem to us but we must learn to accept other cultures for what they are. All cultures are somewhat strange to some extent but learning to respect them is what is of great importance.
