Yeah, I heard the Nigerian line in the Avatar but I don't think it was in bad light. Watching that movie was pure waste of time and money. The simulation/animation was good but the story was too predictable and childish, just like a cartoon story for kids where Ben 10 or Superman can do anything. Imagine an army with bows and arrows destroying jet fighters and so on. |

Azuka.O: YEEHH, Ur right "AZUKA" My brother. This is just entertainment, just to keep us busy, is not waste of money or time just as you understood. |

Just as someone has already mentioned, Nigeria was mentioned along with Venezuela. Look at it this way, Nigeria is the largest oil producing country in Africa and Venezuela i suppose is the largest oil producing oil in South America. The guy was bragging that he fought in Nigeria twice and had no scratch. Just tells the countries that USA has interest in 'cos of their natural resources just as they now have on Pandora. The thing is, this Pandora country could be an a country somewhere in Africa or else where whose natural resources might be of immense interest to USA and they might invade it soon just to, |

Av seen the movie,and its kool. @poster u just don't raise an alarm cos of anything you watch or hear in a movie,not to talk of a movie like avatar basically based on mostly animated fictional characters and scenery. They could have mentioned other places apart from nigeria. No hard feelings,movie producers are just professional businessmen. |

Whatever, it shows that the world recognises NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!! |

Yeah, I heard the Nigerian line in the Avatar but I don't think it was in bad light.pls you need to go see this movie then "ALI G IN DA HOUSE" the lead actor Baron Sachon wore flashy jersey tops throughout the movie and when its the turn of the Super Eagles jersey to be featured, he was squatting in public and defecating at a function can you beat that! |

Well. . . theres been a lot of Nigerian lines in Hollywood movies. . . i usually see it as a kin d of message been passed down to the folks. . .it also got me thinkin cos some of these so called lines can be insults, just like in X-men the origins |

Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by sammytb(m): 1:13pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
It is actually true i heard it a lot of times when i watch that movie, Most of these us guys see Nigeria and Nigerians as a country filled with criminal actvities, Only Ogd known when they will stop these their crazy act, |
Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by holythug(m): 1:20pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
being painted as negative is unacceptable |
Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by holotee(m): 2:03pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
I've seen the movie so many times especially my favourite scenes like when he conquered that big red bird/bat. I can't blive that Nigeria been mentioned is an issue. If dem no mention naija, would u prefer it ? Your country is a big hit amongst muuvees. Show some love people and quit worrying over what aint there ! Damn ! |
Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by Elgaxton(m): 2:15pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
Yeah! I saw the movie last nite and when I heard Naija I was like "are they tryin to compare naija with these creatures?" All in all, the movie is very tight, |

All those crying about AVATAR, have you watched LOST? you should see the way Touchstone Television presented nigeria. its means nothing. the truth is that, this is what sells. violence,crime, drugs, prostitution ect. this is what the consumers(YOU AND I) want to see, and even if they portrayed nigeria as paradise, am sure some of you will will be the first to shout. "ah ahn why are they lying " |

Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by sirgai(m): 3:02pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
This topic may seem stupid but if the way the whole world particularly America sees us is anything to go by, the present state of non-leadership, the Jos and Niger Delta thingy, someone mentioning going on 2 military tours (thats 1 year active military participation) in Nigeria in a futuristic movie should tell us that some people either think there's going to be a war in Nigeria sometimes soon or they are working to ensure that the war happens. either way, i think we should all be worried and be on the look out. |

gentlemen: i think so |
Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by tmubee(m): 6:31pm On Mar 10, 2010 |
@sayso, I don't think it's just some whites that think Africa is just a country. I think practically the whole of ignoramus USA believes so. But I enjoy the kind of debate raging here. So many interesting thoughts like "Hollywood potrays every country, even itself, as negative. I agree! After all, "drugs, violence and s*x" are what sell movies. Good ideas, everyone. |

I tought i was wrong. I heard it too. The military man in camoflage said something about surviving a war in Nigeria without a scratch. That says something doesn't it? |
Re: Avatar, Insult Or Exaltation To Nigeria by ifele(m): 8:55pm On Mar 11, 2010 |
WhAT if a big war does happen in Nigeria. Bigger than these small sporadic conflicts that already exists. I am ready for war mein. |
