See what thirst for power can do to people. ACN is hell bent on taking the seat come 2015 that they forget the ethics of being a patriotic citizen!
What did y'all hypocrites say when achebe told the truth about the civil war? Even Fashola on the launch of book in the states said, it is not good to be stire what has settled down, meaning hide the truth from Igbo tribe posterities... And y'all hypocrites supported the move right here on NL.

That documentary serves solely, as one of the tirade of virulent disparaging crusade against the GEJ's administration. It is not and was never intended to serve as a wake up call for Nigerians to quest for good governance and accountability.

They never thought of the damage it will do to the country in the international community, as longs as it fulfills their selfish desires. Even as any sincere person would attest that GEJ's administration is not the best but better than the erstwhile C-in-C and all in the past.

That's why when i read through Ghana/Nigeria, Kenya/Nigeria et al bashings, i just laugh at my fellow country men stúpidity.
Clowns!!! It won't be long before i laugh again in the bashing threads!!
I always hear people say Nigerians deserves what they get and now I subscribe to that fact.

For the records- There is no Image of Nigeria to be protected! Get it?

He said ''promote''.

Why twist what he says?

Is ''promote'' too difficult to attack, hence your replacing it with ''protect''?

Promote Nigeria's image by pardoning convicted embezzlers, and generally being corrupt and clueless?

Best way to promote your image as a govt is good governance, you slowpoke. You cannot stifle freedom of speech in the name of promoting image

solomon111: you think it is silly?
Smh.
How does making a film about poverty in Nigeria,solve poverty?
So there are no poverty in other parts of the world?
Is this not the sort of selective and partial journalism,we accuse the western media of?
Since Nigeria is the only country with dirty linen,keep on washing it in public and disgracing yourselves.
Na una sabi.
*am out*

Very weak arguments. The essence of journalism is not necessarily to seek solutions, or promote an opinion or point of view, but to EXPOSE THAT WHICH IS, through reportage, to the public eye thereby helping the public form their own opinions and encourage public discourse on the issue.
What he did would surely do both of those, and probably become a catalyst for either shaming leaders into doing better or encouraging the public to vote out the perpetual under-performers.
That has always been the role of the press, and countries generally don't make progress with a stifled press. That's why dictatorships don't work. Do you get it now?

Totally agree with Solomon. I'd actually go further and urge the so-called poor of Nigeria to shut up! Work hard and talk less. The reason Asia and other parts of the world has progressed more than Africa is significantly because the West, through the Media creates division in Africa between authority and common man, between rich and poor. In this way, the Media, imbued in the people of Africa a sense of entitlement and expectation diametrically opposite of the stage of development of their nations.

When Nollyhood or whatever they call themselves releases a delusional film, NFVCB wont do anything about that and everyone will rush to grab the so-called copy but a 30minute movie that will wake up sleeping Nigerians like you and begin to make government take responsibility for their action, you are there backing them...

You are so out of touch vis-a-vis the dynamics of everyday reality, that the term "reality" ought to be redefined for you and your ilk.
Did you actually re-read what you posted here? This country must be doomed!
'Thanks' to Seun, this is a faceless forum. The anonymity it affords enables you type to spew your bigoted remarks without any proper soul searching.
Let me conclude: any Nigerian youth who thinks all is well with this country right now must be feeding fat from the national trough, and/or some family member of his/hers is eating more than their fair share of the national cake.

Please submit this documentary to Aljazeera(the only global news station that ain't afraid of showcasing thought provocking documentaries). Infact there is this really interesting four part documentary they're showing now called the '7 sisters' . its about how the 7 major oil conglamorates (shell, bp, Elf, total, chevron e.t.c) sponsored dictatoships for decades and in the mean time stealing oil from those countries. From iran to venezuela, sudan to libya, Nigeria to congo, the 7 sisters in collusion with CIA toppled leaders and installed dictators, they killed millions and stole billions, really thought provocking and interesting documentary.
So please submit this one to Aljazeera, upload it to youtube, burn it on millions of cd's and distribute it quitely. THE TRUTH MUST PREVAIL

I watched the documentary and whilst it depicted the fraud of fuel subsidy and why Dr Ngozi Okonji Iweala was 100% right when she said it must GO.!, I had to agree with the comment that was stated by someone thus "I hope you saw from the documentary that SE and SS Regions weren't involved..do you know why? How many times have Nigerians protested the killings of these lot or are they not part of Nigeria anymore? Hypocrisy at its highest."

So I ask Nairalanders why hasn't the following tribes joined or protested the killings of the Igbo et.all in Nigeria or are they not more important than the issue that is been agitatetd over and if yes is the answer, then why don't you allow my people to leave this ruins called nigeria.. angry angry

Re: NFVCB Bans Film On Nigerian Poverty And Corruption by nedostic: 11:07pm On Apr 13, 2013
Quite a fascinating and emotion-laden real-life documentary mixed with the Nigerian intrigues and resilience as well in action! Even if NFVCB places a ban on it, its difficult to really stop people from watching it for the fact that it is available online. Censorship my foot!This just shows how hypocritical some government agencies could be!

BTW: That corruption has gone viral in Nigeria is no longer news but the onus is on every Nigerian to make a change within his or her immediate milieu.
Agreed leadership in Nigeria is failing not just within the public sector but also in families.
I think most of us are complaining of corruption because we lack opportunities to be directly involved in governance. Lets be fair to ourselves and have a rethink of some of the things we do as well within our immediate environment.How transparent are our dealings with others?

Take for instance, a market woman who sells 'egusi'(melon seed) in the market place with 'measurement' cups stuffed with paper inside it in a bid to make more profits. So who then is defrauding or seemingly cheating who here? Government officials or poor-to-poor fraud?

This is also in parallel with a passenger who voluntarily entered a commercial bus and claimed to have made payment to the bus conductor even when he is fully aware that he is lying and a bus conductor who cheats his driver by telling the driver that only 10 passengers entered into the bus whereas they were more than 10 passengers as well as the bus driver who habitually shortchanges his boss(bus owner) and would always lie about engine knock even when there are proofs that the bus driver was seen transiting passengers from one location to another.
What am I trying to illustrate here? That we as Nigerians live and eat in a "cyclical corruption" or what economists would call vicious cycle of corruption.

We need to own up to the fact that one way or the other most of us are either religiously or irreligiously enmeshed in this evil called "corruption". Methinks, what is at play within Nigeria is corrupt mentality amongst most Nigerians.
I beg to be corrected wit this assertion that "in Nigeria, corruption is much more pervasive amongst the poor and this ugly trend is what is at play in the political landscape"


This country called Nigeria can only be fixed when we all we decide to pay less attention to materialism. Our value system and ethics need to change.Unfortunately, our religious bodies and community leaders have failed us in this regard.
I am sorry to disappoint religious folks here that God cannot fix Nigeria we have got to fix Nigeria ourselves by living right and emphasis should be on hardwork and less on this get quick-rich syndrome!
