Tunmi: The video was the truth. I have not seen a more realistic display of Nigeria, of Lagos than in that video. If the problem was not there, Rick Ross would have nothing to film. There is no lie in that video, that is how many Nigerians live.

ogugua88: ^^^ I tire o. The kain verbal lashing I don get for Facebook over this matter. One guy was asking why Rick Ross didn't film in Abuja or Obudu Cattle Ranch. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

tai2: 80% of people in Lagos live like that....the rest are either in luxury or the sufferhead middle class. Yet, we want him to show us a different story because Nigerians don't like hearing the truth. All Lagosians live in Ikoyi and were born with an accent. Crazy people.

Funny how Nigerian musicians keep claiming "streets" and all they have to show for it is music videos in clubs with champagne or hotels. If our outdoor scenes were so wonderful they'd be shooting in these same "streets" not running to SA and Ghana to shoot music videos.

People need to see reality and stop thinking this is DSTV.

Tunmi:
Na for twitter I dey explain am to people. Abeg refer them to me, I go explain, I get their time today. Dem think say the BellaNaija dem dey watch abi dem Nollywood film dem see na in be de ogbonge Naija ehn?

the guy is not lying. It's like Alcoholics Anonymous, the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Accept it and acknowledge it, then we can fix it

It's just like AA. People are forgetting their country. I blame Davido sha lmao. People don dey follow him nyansh so closely they've forgotten we come from Nigeria, a nation where there's no functioning international airport and molues polute the skies with black smoke.

Tunmi: lmao I can't completely blame Davido. I blame the people for letting the fire in the subsidy protest die (and we had our celebs come out in full force too). I do blame the likes of Davido, the current crop of artists (can I even call them that) who don't realize the impact of what they are doing.

jakaiso: Are people just so stupid-or is it that they are just plain lazy.The original version of the song recorded in the USA was completly shot in the ghetto.Why would he then come to Nigeria and shoot the Nigerian version in VGC.
People need to learn to keep their mouth shut so as not to expose their ignorance-that is completly caused by laziness.


This is the link to the USA version-

And why are you so ashamed of the the truth.65% of the Nigerian physical environment looks like this.And its not just a factor of poverty-its mainly due to laziness ,'dirtiness' and the corruption that has almost destroyed our country. Why did the Buhari government had to bring a one day national evironmental sanitiation day (that was basterdized by IBB and his 40 thieves)-because we are a dirty people.Lets clean up guys! dirty gutters,pit toilets in the 21st century. Compare USA ghetto to Nigerian ghetto.Ghetto are usually inhabited by poor people and are over populated-but water flows and gutters are not filled with trash.Stop throwing trash in gutters.

Revealedtv: Buuuuuuuut from the very begining, he didn't hide the fact that he wanted to shoot the video in the slums...plus for a country where almost half of its people live below the poverty line, how is this not a near accurate report? These Nairalanders wan hold the truth back...

Akson man: You are an IDIIOT for the 'international Airport' comment. How did Rick Ross arrive Nigeria if there was no functioning International airport? Maybe he boarded Okada from Cotonou Airport?
Shameless self hating goat.

ogugua88:

The same MMA that I landed in abi? When I came, the conveyer belt broke, and workers brought in our luggage by hand. Imagine how long that took. Then there's the junkyard of old planes. Do not get me started on the bathrooms.

What is your definition of functioning sef? The bottom line is that MMA is nowhere near the standards of an international airport. Sure, departing planes may take off, and arriving planes may land, but MMA is gross and a sad excuse for an international excuse in a whole LAGOS. Don't defend mediocrity. Nigerians deserve more. Or do you want me to lie and tell you MMA is beautiful and a must-see airport? I wonder when some of you will stop deceiving yourselves.

bootlegaz: Ricky Ross is from Haiti and Haiti was one of Biafra's ally during the civil war. The message on this video is; After Nigerian government together with their British Coalition force succeeded in killing 2million Biafrans, Nigeria's former Capital still remain a slum( this niggazz can't hold us down)
