BBC’S ALEX PRESTON: AN 'IDIOTIC' VIEW OF NIGERIA'S ABUJA.

Bumped into this very annoying recent BBC article on Abuja.

You might want to read the said BBC’s article here before continuing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24404633


The real question is, can a city ever be termed as being ‘completed’ or ‘finished’? Talk less of a 35 year old Abuja built from scratch by Nigerians-a city without any colonial heritage unlike the coastal, unplanned and exploitative West African cities that the British left behind as at independence.

Abuja built on 'stolen' land?

Are the Gwaris not Nigerians, located and residing in the hinterland of Nigeria? Surely there may still be issues but to the best of my knowledge majority of the original settlers of Abuja were compensated and resettled.

In spite of all this, the Gwaris (as Nigerians) still have unlimited access to Abuja city and have not being discriminated against or treated to any form of APARTHEID unlike what the BBC's home country did to indigenes of her conquered territories.

As for the BBC going further to paint Abuja (and Nigerians) in a derogatory manner, I’d like to know what their motives are. Is the BBC trying to instigate the Gwaris against the Nigerian government?

Like we don’t already have enough problems with Boko Haram,Niger-Delta Militants...and ASUU.

Nigeria should in fact be commended for being one of the first black African countries to build a modern landlocked city from scratch. If it's that easy to build a new African city take a trip to Yamoussoukro, the imaginary capital of Ivory Coast, conceived almost same period as Abuja.

Abuja is not yet heaven; it is in fact a massive construction site with scary infrastructural challenges caused by population explosion. But unlike the lies told by BBC’s Alex Preston, Abuja does have many MANY finished inhabited world-class structures...with many more nearing completion.

This piece does not in anyway exonerate Nigeria's past or present crop of leaders for their failings in many areas of Nigerian socio-economic life. Truth be told, most of Nigeria's leadership since independence (especially military rulers) have behaved like chronic idiots over the years. But in fairness to them, they created Abuja and put it on the map as one of Africa's fastest growing international cities.

The only 'idiot' I'm concerned about today is BBC's Alex Preston. My opinion of him is that of a typical western journalist keen on impressing an ignorant western audience with perverted and biased news reports from 'the Dark continent'.

Abuja remains a work in progress; SHE’S JUST 35 YEARS OLD for crying out loud.

How old is BBC's London?

Even the Sheikdom of DUBAI was formally established in 1833.


“Abeg give Nigerians a break jare, we don try!”

How about the Maldives that British stole?

I wonder what BBC’s Alex Preston intends to achieve from his junk journalism and write up. I read the article and noticed obviously the lies imprinted in it. Does he intend to keep his european readers in the dark? The write up is biased and truly unfair. I searched for the comment box to explode but could not find such. I see the propaganda this british press are up again.

Awesome write-up! Very intelligent write-up! He clearly represented the facts just the way it is!

I hope you do not believe this drivel you have written here.
I wonder if you even read the main BBC article.
First of all,Abuja does not register on the world map.
It is regarded by almost everybody who has visited as a soulless place.
Heck the politician themselves runaway every weekend
Secondly,the gwari people own Abuja .there are over 2,000,000 of them( enough to be a nation) and if Nigeria were to scatter, Abuja goes straight back to them.
You just to move people off their ancestral property.
There are also no proofs that Abuja was purchased from them.

So thank you Nigeria for the roads and other shinies but now,
CAN WE HAVE OUR LANDS BACK.
