Yea I saw that one, that's how the pros do it more indepth

Abi oo. I loved it  , well not totally since he said some things

1)that those boys playing football on the field were filling time due to joblessness and

2)tribal ties (like Ashanti in Ghana) were used to compensate for lack of infrastructure and poverty.

I felt those boys were doing more than filling time, I felt they were cultivating their talents. And tribal ties have nothing to do with poverty. It is just African.

Apart from these two points, it was worth watching. I could see so much potential in Africa. See where they assembled a Moped in 45 minutes. My head was swelling. And those Malian women looked so Nigerian with their "married woman/mother pride thingy" and aso-ebi stuff. That mud monument is amazing, reminds me of a similar wonder, the underground architectural masterpiece in Ijebu-Ode called Sungbo Eredo.

See the wisdom of the Ashanti King in dealing with the "fake"  chief. See the handsome and strong 74year old mason. I loved the fact that Jonathan's attitude toward Africans was not patronising and that he was involved in everything they did. It was nice, really nice. Didn't want it to end

Eziachi:

It seems that with Nigerians, you can’t win. Last time, they showed those living in garbage dump, you shouted blue murder, now they decide to follow and show a privilege guy, a descendant of famous King Jaja of Opopo, whose parents were well-off enough to have afford his education in an English public school, probably on an annual school fee many of us dream of earning in a year. But has now went back to Nigeria and seems to be doing OK, considering everything, you are also complaining, that he is not rich enough, not handsome enough, not blinged enough for your show off Nigerian taste.
I remember the CNN showing Gov’ Silva of Bayelsa state showing off his amphitheatre or Peter Odili drinking his Cristal Champagne, you also complained. What exactly do some of you guys want? If you don’t like the BBC and its commissioned programmes paid by the British tax payers, why not watch NTA instead?
