Hello Oluwakemi,
It’s a great list you have here. And important to know these bloggers as they’re the window to the highlights and touristic destinations in Nigeria.

If there’s one thing i’m sure of about the travel space is that travel bloggers and vloggers charge a lot of money for brand collaborations. They typically don’t have a ton of audience because they’re niched but regardless, I understand their prices because its expensive to travel.
