iShowSpeed experienced African traditional science for the first time in Benin. He saw masquerades moving and was shocked when he realized there was no one inside. He even called it a robot. 😂😭

I don't understand how we were colonized if we can do stuff like that

Africa keeps reminding the world that not all knowledge comes from laboratories.

Masquerade way full village we come de show am Zlatan jersey

Its clear as day there’s a human being in there, well concealed though!

I'll let y'all in on the secret. What they do is they take every straw and heat them up, coat them in a special corn powder, then heat them up again, then use friction so static electricity can cause them to move. I'm just bullshitting I don't really know what they do for real.

Whoever prepared his itinerary for Nigeria did rubbish. Lagos doesn’t have much to offer as per the experience he is looking for.

What Speed calls 'Robots,' the locals call 'Zangbeto.' It’s a fascinating mix of spiritual heritage and ancient physics. In Benin, these 'Guardians of the Night' have been operating this way for centuries long before modern robotics existed. The real mystery isn't just the movement, it’s the vacuum left inside. Truly a 10/10 cultural crossover.

African Robotic science. Jujuology 😁😁

So Nigeria let Speed walk across the border to Benin just to see "African Science" for the first time? 🇳🇬😭 We have 100 variations of this in the village but we were busy showing him Jollof rice. Massive fumble by the Naija tour guides! 🚶♂️💨

50m+ people watching and Nigeria still couldn’t organise a proper cultural showcase for Ishowspeed. No masquerades (not ‘the best interviewer in Africa’, no Eyo, no coordination like this ..just street begging, clubs, and shopping. Massive missed opportunity There’s serious dysfunction in Nigeria’s government.

First of all, who was his tour guide when he came to Nigeria, dem suppose first go lock that person up.

On the disappointing matter of ishowspeed experience in Nigeria, I put blame wholly on him and his crew, Lagos is too Urban and commercial for his type of vibe. It's left for his crew to do the research and arrange for him to visit places and villages filled with cultural heritage, and everyday ordinary citizens showcasing their raw talents. I will just highlight few places he would have gone and wish to come back again in near future. OSOGBO, OSUN STATE A creative hub where he will get first-hand experience on how wood carving is done and even fabrics are dyed. NSUKKA OR NGWO in ENUGU STATE Unscripted and energetic sports like wrestling and even guys that have talent in flute playing couple with it's hilly landscapes. It is called Enugu(on top of mountain) for a reason. ILE-IFE, OSUN STATE Ancient vibes with artifacts, bronze casting and even informal chants. BENIN CITY, EDO STATE Very rich in Edo/Bini heritage. Craftsman even work everyday producing historic replicas. AWKA OR ONITSHA ANAMBRA STATE Igbo entrepreneurs in full blast, cultural displays like masquerade dance in full swings. CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE Efik/Ibibio heritage in daily life. Seafood markets and even boat rides. Ekpe society performance and Street drummers, canoe racing and even beach soccer. OWERRI, IMO STATE No kind of highlife music you won't get in Imo state, vibrant markets filled with artisans making beads and or weaving. Traditional wrestling and masquerade dance RIVER BASINS (NIGER DELTA AREAS) RIVERS STATE AND BAYELSA STATE Niger Delta vibe, street rappers blending pidgin with local slangs. Ikwere/ijaw heritage. Fishing and canoe escapades IBADAN, OYO STATE I hear of Dugbe markets where herbal arts are sold. Closer interactions with Sango worshipers and it's folktales. I intentionally left football out cos no area in Nigeria he won't see talents. That one is just scattered everywhere.

He is eating a Senegalese

“African traditional science” is hysterical

Na speed I blame, why he go Lagos? person wey for come my village experience culture

Our own cultural display was beginning money chasing him around This speed really exposed Nigeria among other Africa countries

No deadass. How the enter fuck and why is it so hard to liberate ourselves? Between voodou, metal work (first to use metal and smelt it) and our physical strength — BITCH WE SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING SHIT.

what’s the scientific explanation for this?

Na all this thing we get but the idiots that host him allowed senseless idiots to be ask foolish questions

This is what speed was expecting in Nigeria.

Speed thought it was a robot 😭 Africa really humbled him.

This is the kinda thing he was looking for in Nigeria, instead what he got are people asking him when he started barking, people begging, and others using a horse to come meet him so they could collab 🤦 He found nothing interesting and cultural about Nigeria

I haven't seen something like this 🤣🤣🤣

Western brains short-circuiting when ancient culture doesn’t come with an instruction manual 😭

Im sorry but I seen legs in the last one…

Voodoo/Magic is real

Unarguably; Benin Republic 🇧🇯 gave Ishowspeed the best of his Africa tours. Nigeria was a total mess.

Seeing all of this will makes you know that naija people fuck up big time.

Speed likely encountered the Zangbeto (Guardians of the Night). These "Nodes" are known to be empty shells that move via Incantation-Based Drivers. Calling it a "Robot" is like trying to explain a Quantum Cloud using an Abacus. The science is real; your "Sensors" are just uncalibrated. 🔌

Quite funny that we have these in Nigeria, in the same Lagos Badagry but the halfwits organizers and celebs wanna make iShowSpeed all about them

Dem say make person come tour Nigeria all this celebrity dey chase after am like thief . We have lots of places like this in Nigeria and rocks 🪨 he could pay visit too . Water lakes . Nigeria messed up fr

So Benin 🇧🇯 compose pass Nigeria 🇳🇬 this is my last year in Nigeria 🇳🇬 God forbid bad thing! I can’t live the life I want in a country like this
