Another great content Tayo. If you are in traditional education field, you possibly will be an associate professor or professor by now. This is just because of how good you are at what you do. You truly have mastered your craft. I seriously like the sound of your voice in your narration. We often only talk about traditional school system as education. What you are doing is pure education. I never knew a place like this existed. My only knowledge of traditional salt isn’t more than ancient Mali and Ghana empire (not present day Ghana) where bar of salts were used as medium of exchange. And ofcourse salt was very important for Roman Empire as preservatives because when they go to war they use it to preserve their food. Salt was so important and had this phrase ‘worth his salt’ when they say someone worth his salt, it means you worth your pay or you are valuable. Let me end by saying that Tayo is worth is salt and the accolade.I like this traditional method of salt production and I am proud to be African.

Tayo Aina, Minister of Tourism and Edutainment! You're just the best Tayo. This is so enlightening
Am waiting for when Lagos State Government or Nigeria government will appoint you as SA to the president on Tourism affairs. Or better still Minister of Tourism and Culture... Good Job my brother. Enjoy your content as always.
Beautiful country. Beautiful and industrious ppl who value their culture and are keeping it alive. I have always wondered why we never see more videos on Benin Republic, Togo, and Cameroon. Thank you so much, Tayo for bringing us with you to Benin Rep. Seeing Africa through the eyes of African ppl born and raised in Africa (like me), nothing compares to it…not CNN, not BBC (Lol), etc. Your videos are excellently done. These videos don’t serve as just “entertainment”. They have educational value, they are show-casing history, and culture as well. They also play a large role in connecting Africans in the diaspora to invest heavily in Africa.👍👍👍🌍🌍🌍

Tayoooooooooo!! The drone view is breath taking, the village is beautiful, your video is amazing, your story telling is beautiful. Our African leaders can do so much with our rich human and natural resources. The Djabaji people are beautiful and industrious. Thanks for the video Tayo our Minister of Tourism!!

It's from your content I,show, tell and teach my children about Africa,Nigeria and Lagos.Thanks we are tuned. While watching the slave trade videos they cried.Thanks for teaching us.
Bravo Tayo! Benin is an amazing country. People should really visit and learn about its history. An experience in Ouidah is like no other, with its rich culture.

Another delightful exposé from Tayo Aina. Very nice piece of history of Republic du Bénin which is also home to over 1M Yorubas.
We have same in Nigeria, in the north precisely.
They look so happy. Benin 🇧🇯 is surely a place to visit
Exactly…. Natural Salt 🧂 factory … first time seeing and hearing this 😯✅💯 thanks for sharing Tayo 🙏🏾👍🏾

Maya sent me to your channel about a year ago and since then I have not been disappointed
Africa . We rise. Thank you. We share our own story. We tell our own story. Much love brother Tayo
Tayo, ur craft & production quality is world class…..keep it up! 👏🏾 An idea to increase viewership is to subtitle in French for our francophone folks to be able to follow ur amazing vlogs.
I love how you embraced the culture
Wow, pure organic Salt, thanks for sharing this. Your content is always 💯👍🏾
.Yay Tayo, finally showcasing Benin, my ancestral home. In ancient times, salt was known as white gold. It was seen as a sign of wealth if you had salt in your household.
Tayo the Great! Why? You are doing Great in Exposing and Educating us even via screen! You are giving LIGHT to our minds! AFRICA is GREAT💡🙌💯🌞🌍
I know every time I watch your video I will learn something new! Fantastic. They really need to give you a discovery channel for Africa.
Nice video very informative, so much culture and history in Africa
Always look out for your interesting ytube videos.....keep up the great work you do Tayo.... Light Love Blessings Always 💖💖💖
Tayo great video, keep up the good work. We also have salt mines and lakes in Ebonyi state as well. You should come down to the East and see some places for yourself. We equally have ogbunike cave in Anambra, 1 of the biggest in Africa. We have the Auhum monastery water falls in Enugu, the nvene springs also in and so on.

Thank You Tayo!! There are No Visions like that of Africa where I live in the USA! I’d love to buy some of that salt, but I didn’t find the details. Can you please put me in touch. Also when will you begin a Web Pg, that connects your viewers with the Wonderful places you teach us about? Keep up the Awesome Teaching 🙏🏽💕
Oh my! I visited this place when I was a teenager, so so excited to see a documentary on it. Lovely!
Environmentally processed, no preservatives (no diabetes) this really is sustainable!
Wow... this is really amazing 🤍🤍🤍🌍🌍God bless Africa 🌍❤️
Solid content always
I went to Benin but I never been to this salt village. Thank you so for showcasing this village and providing the history of it.
THANK YOU Bro.#TayoAina . I remember using this kind of salt back in the village; Ondo, Yòrùbá Land. Baked and we used knife to scrape whichever quantity needed.
I must get there in the winter and I hope to bring their precious salts back to the US as a real treat to keep for. Myself and my friends and family
Great content Tayo. I will love to see a content on the yoruba people of benin republic. The similarities they share with the Yorubas in Nigeria.
Love this video was so beautiful 🤩
Amazing 👏🏽 I lived in Benin Republic for about 4 years and I never knew about this place. I should explore more the next time I visit. Thank you for the enlightenment.
I'm totally here for this vlog! Thank you so much for always sharing valuable contents. Oh that boat ride!
Tayo nice one, keep showcasing the beauty of Africa. Indeed my Africa is beautiful.

thank u mr Atai and to mr Tayo the producer of these wonderful videos. keep promoting us but the problem with us in Africa is, we don't value our continent all we do is the discoverong of far distance places out of our continent. unfortunaltely if we don't knw ourselves then we can value and respect ourselves. my advice is,next time we want to go to vacation, may we visit our African countries instead of wasting money in far stressing journey. Merci A toi mr Tayo for bringing this part of the world in a limelight
Thanks for your African tourism contents..... I'm always looking forward to it..
Great visuals as always 🇸🇳

Never knew we could make salt locally - salt that is free from chemicals my goodness ! Africa is blessed and I`m proud of who we are .Thank you Tayo
I love this. my mother from that country
Our mothers in AfriKA are working so hard and have always been working so hard........ Yet the government will never ever help us because it was never created for us...... So thank you Tayo my brother for publishing this let's hope the enemy doesn't come and take over..... We need to help them and buy salt from them and resale around the world
The editing the story telling !!!!! , love the way Tayo does this
Yaaaay! Been waiting for a TA video! Lemme get my wine...... 🍷 ☺
Just smiling all through
That's a lot of work! Bless them
I respect them and love this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
