Why the heck are you guys posting the "Fun" pictures?

Instead of posting pictures of an unknown person, why don't you picture posters tell us about this guy?

2. Who is blessing and where is her pix?

3. I know that millions cant be helped, but why these two?

Don't blame mamagee, she is like the rampaging man that shot 12 people in the UK earlier this week except that she doesnt use gun;check how she drop comments in every  thread and every section on the forum. She cant even remember ever commenting on the BBC documentary.

What money did they bring in for the 'BCC' and how did they do that?

You want to know? maybe you should ask those in the media business or are you trying to say they spent all the money in Nigeria for nothing?
Re: From The Dump Slums Of Lagos To The Streets Of London by Nobody: 1:04am On Jun 06, 2010
can somebody spell it out for those of us who didnt watch the staged BBC documentary.

is this fellow the one they call opobo's grandson.

why is his going to london a big deal as if 70% of the nigerians overseas didnt come from relatively poor backgrounds.

is he trying to push a music career like 80% of naija youths out there?

why cant his sponsors polish him up a bit even if it involves plastic surgery etc.

what was he doing in the trash dumps- was he told to go there and look dirty, then be "discovered" by the biased BBC crew??

he didn't make it for the show, he just came in on thursday

but he is going to be @ Troxy tomorrow

I am 100% certain he came to shoot his music video plus other things he might want to do.
Secondly, he musta trousered some wads in that Welcome To Lagos documentary - Nigerians don't do things for FREE.
I am happy for him. . . . . .At least, he will take 2 or 3 people out of that refuse dump and change their fortunes.

this is why the country doesnt progress.

the time spent typing about your wounded feelings could have also been used to present a short response explaining what the brouhaha is all about.

but they helped in obtaining the visa

He would make money. . . . .I know how BBC works.
They pay as much as 2000-5000 GBP everytime you open their door for them to do an exclusive interview.
All those hustling this guy was doing for the camera in Lagos for 1 hour? Abeg. . . . .He musta been paid.
Re: From The Dump Slums Of Lagos To The Streets Of London by sjeezy8: 1:37am On Jun 06, 2010
Naw he had previous songs out even before the documentary-

I dont really feel the whole Ajegunle Jamo accent- The only partt of the song that is hot is owo ti yapa si mi lorun and when he asys oti po po po po . . . .

The beat sounds like GONGO ASO- Thats why everyone feels it.
