Tunmi: The video was the truth. I have not seen a more realistic display of Nigeria, of Lagos than in that video. If the problem was not there, Rick Ross would have nothing to film. There is no lie in that video, that is how many Nigerians live.thank you for your honesty my good brother. I keep asking one question,did Rick Ross fake up that video? Oh no ... Thats truly our naija. I wish this video to be d most selling. |

[quote author=mruknaijaboy]check 1:14 where the woman rubs her hand in boiling hot water like its cold water! kai! but on the other hand the message of rick ross video was to show the ghetto,the song is based on not being held back and having the hustler spirit and staying strong, which is why he picked nigeria, just like in the other version of the video where he picked the slums in america, but obviously the slums in nigeria is 100 times worse compared to a slum in america Think you have it all wrong, If he wants to show hustle , there are other means of showing hustle ....this video does not reflect hustle but poverty.... (no denial there is poverty and inequality) , if he was trying to show the positive side , he should have taken a lesson from Dagrin(RIP)...Why didnt he create a scene in his US video showing him distributing money in homeless shelters in new orleans ) The video is an insult and just perpetuates the cliche but then there is always truth to every cliche |

I like the video because not enough people show that side of Naija, of Lagos even. I know we have had artists singing about what the video represents: Eedris Abdulkareem, Sound Sultan, Fela (and I am dissociating the video from the song), but something about the way the video was done is different. It showed people living in a way many Nigerians do not want to acknowledge. If Eedris had done this video, I don't think it would have caused such an uproar. And I am glad it did, I really am. Hopefully, it inspires people to actually want a change for once and not sit down and just watch. 1 Like |

tai2: 80% of people in Lagos live like that....the rest are either in luxury or the sufferhead middle class. Yet, we want him to show us a different story because Nigerians don't like hearing the truth. All Lagosians live in Ikoyi and were born with an accent. Crazy people. Most of those Nigerian videos are shot indoors or in a studio. The ones shot outdoors are usually shot on a beach, with the camera focusing closely on the person and intentionally focused so as not to capture too much of a wider view. Why? This is because Nigeria streets are dirty and filthy. 1 Like |

ogugua88:lmao I can't completely blame Davido. I blame the people for letting the fire in the subsidy protest die (and we had our celebs come out in full force too). I do blame the likes of Davido, the current crop of artists (can I even call them that) who don't realize the impact of what they are doing. |

If only you knew how many times I was warned by NLers and family/friends alike, that the subsidy protests wouldn't last. I thought that was our calling truly. Truth of the matter is that Nigerians care about themselves only. Our artists are obliviously destructive. It's disheartening. 1 Like |

Ricky Ross is from Haiti and Haiti was one of Biafra's ally during the civil war. The message on this video is; After Nigerian government together with their British Coalition force succeeded in killing 2million Biafrans, Nigeria's former Capital still remain a slum( this niggazz can't hold us down) |

These Nairalanders wan hold the truth back... Where almost half? You said "where almost of half"? Are you ceeruz, bruv? You ceeruz? 80% LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE, my friend.

Y'all need to stop trippin, every video shot outside u.s.a or any other country in europe is preferably shot in the Project..it brings the true feel of the video. We are just too fake, you expect a video that potrays fake luxurious life or what? DAGRIN(PON PON PON), FELA this are true musicians besides Ross shot a US version of same video in the Project too... So pls be real for once and stop behaving like bush people...... |

Akson man: You are an IDIIOT for the 'international Airport' comment. How did Rick Ross arrive Nigeria if there was no functioning International airport? Maybe he boarded Okada from Cotonou Airport? The same MMA that I landed in abi? When I came, the conveyer belt broke, and workers brought in our luggage by hand. Imagine how long that took. Then there's the junkyard of old planes. Do not get me started on the bathrooms. What is your definition of functioning sef? The bottom line is that MMA is nowhere near the standards of an international airport. Sure, departing planes may take off, and arriving planes may land, but MMA is gross and a sad excuse for an international excuse in a whole LAGOS. Don't defend mediocrity. Nigerians deserve more. Or do you want me to lie and tell you MMA is beautiful and a must-see airport? I wonder when some of you will stop deceiving yourselves. 2 Likes |

ogugua88: Don't mind the fooool! The same way some cretin would open a school in Nigeria that can seat 34 students per class and then pack 70 into each class and then call Kalekawenaa International School. People in Nigeria think by tagging something makes that thing justifiably called what it is tagged. This is the same MMA where when I was there last it took 2hr 45mins from time of landing before I could get my luggages despite my flight being one of the only 2 flights landing at that same airport within a 2 hour period. And I was sweating in the crazy heat all the way through to the point my entire shirt was soaked despite many AC units dotted around the airport. Yeah, you heard me. There were AC units in every corner. Unfortunately, they were all not working. Most likely because the person given the over-inflated contract (maybe up to 8 times the non-discounted retail price of a new unit) still decided to buy second hand units that would breakdown in a few months and get more loot from the margins he saved. And the person nation still has a Tourism Ministry. For what? Which lunatic will get to the airport of such a country and see it as a tourist destination. We just waste millions on an annual budget on a Ministry that is irrelevant. International airport my asss! More like international disgrace if anything is international about it. *Ridicules* "We are Giant of Africa! HEY!" 2 Likes |
