Sad part is those people laughing and so happy in the video as if Rick Ross promise them a better Nigeria. I wept for us Africans, we are so stoopid. So what is the point of the video? Is it gonna help people living in the slumg? and it ain't gonna stop corruption either. So whats the point of the whole video? Business I think. I take my hat off for Rick Ross, infact I bow. To become rich/stay rich you have to be selfish and brutal. 2 Likes |

Tos87: Look at them abusing ЂΞ massenger when our leaders ǟяɇ joyous over ЂΞ massage cos if they aint then let them do Smthing ãпԃ change ЂΞ poverty in Nija..D video is a stereotype of a typical Niga Ghetto.Thank u my brother, may ur days be long. I don't know y we Nigerians like deceiving ourselves, Here is a messenger trying to bring us out of present situation(poverty) and we come out in our numbers insulting the him. Here is a 'neutral' man that came to our beloved country and saw the dehumanizing way of life of the average nigerian ,saw the need to let the world know what we as Ngerians are going through in the hands of our leaders and the best thing we all could do is to pour insult on him. AGAIN,shooting that video in lagos(where 'perhaps' the most performing governor in Nigeria is governing) goes to say alot---- LAGOS----- The so called mega city. LAGOS----- where most Nigerians see as their own yankee. LAGOS-----where most of us hold in high esteem as the most developed state in Nigeria. LAGOS-----where the western world has a lot of ongoing projects to assist the state govt . I'M LEFT TO WONDER Y MOST NIGERIANS ARE BITTER ABOUT THE VIDEO. What if it were Zamfara he shot that video with hundreds of alimajeris begging for(NOT DOLLARS NOW BUT) remnants of food . What would have been our reaction ? 3 Likes |

Orikinla:May ur days be longggggg my brother. If it hurts us too much we should take the case to our leaders let them know the extent at which their greed has taken us to. Afterall Nigerians usually go to south africa and the US to shoot their videos------so y is it then a crime to come to Nigeria to shoot a video ? OUR POLITICIANS HAVE SO BRAINWASHED US. |

Rooneyboy: LMAO!!! The video been made in itself is a business. What money will Rick Ross get from Nigerian Politicians that he can't get himslef? He would be making the money here in the US and then he may probably donate a bit back there in Nigeria so that they can welcome him again the next time he goes there. Chances are most of em peeps in his video didn't even get a penny from him yet they are showing there teeth as if heaven has drop. Sad Mofos. If that was Trey Songz showing his abss and cute smile, then yea maybe I could rub on his abs and take that as my pay atleast. But those people just helped Rick Ross in creating a great music video which would generate him cash and controversies which = load of promotion. 3 Likes |

What wrong with this is not that it being truthful. The problem is that it feeding into stereotypes of how nonAfrican, particularly Americans, view Africans or Africa in general. Just look at the curriculum that is taught in schools in Am.; they mainly focus on war, proverty,disease, animals, pyramids. Really is that all Africa about! Just imagine what Rick Ross fan base will take from this video. |

rokiatu:You are dumb you think its every music video one sells and make money - this video won't sell in america its just like what he will show to the american and the western world of what african faces - hope you saw the american ghetto version of the song its still the same message he is passing ok ghetto is ghetto everywhere - am sure no money will be made from this naija version that will entyer rozay pocket - instead our naija people will use it to make money themself |

The other day I was somewhere in Nasarawa state where someone was distributing N10 notes to the Almajiri kids there. Come and see the stampede as they rushed for the money. Filth everywhere. Old women with swarms of children who have not had a bath in days begging for anything: money, food, clothes. Then I drive back into the FCT and into some of the popular joints in town and the contrast could not be more startling. My biz takes me around the country and I have seen the best and the worst of Naija. The song by Rick Ross is a mirror on our society. All those abusing Rick Ross know the way to our President's Facebook page. Why una no snap pics of the real Naija and show the man so he sees the country he has presided over in the last 3 years? 2 Likes |

Please tell me it's all a lie. Tell me the rich far outnumber the poor in Nigeria. Tell me the plush mansions are more numerous than the shanty shacks and slumdog hovels. Tell me a molue driver and all his passengers choose to commute that way because the roads can't take their SUVs and Sedans. Tell me Naija is a country where the youth dare to dream because dreams come true all the time. Tell me most people will not run "four-forty" to snatch a dollar bill from some stranger handing them out for free. Tell me the common man's dream of making it in Naija is not based on the wishful thinking of hitting jackpot by opening the right bottle of beer or soft drink. I want to believe!!! But, Alas! I know better! I know the real deal, I know "wuzzup", I know the truth, I know our leaders have let us down so low we dance on the streets because some tyrant drilled a borehole! I know better, because- I am Nigerian. 4 Likes |

wandeay: shiit! Ricky is getting it on his brain negatively, Nigerians are rich, a lot of people earn @ least 15k a month, but our govt needs to put somethings in place in order to ease the hardship we face, so the blame ought to be casted on the govt not the masses, ricky, most ghetto in US are almost as Nigeria's e.g Pine Bluff in ArkansasSo 15K na wetin person go call earnings per month. SMH. You can't punch the key pads on your phone if you are earning 'at least 15K' and be making trash which you call comment. An average Nigerian is poor up to the Presidency, i.e, morally, mentally, spiritually etc. Admit for once who you are and fight in order to escape depiction. |

Do those places and people exist in Nigeria - YES or NO? If they do, I don't see what the fuss is about... Why do we keep hiding those places and the hardship these hardworking and noble Nigerians go through What are we doing with all our oil money Don't be mad at Rick Ross(the song is actually an inspiration song) - be mad at all those thieving politicians who have cornered your commonwealth for personal use...

The video speaks the truth and nothing more, it's painful we have so many ignorant Nigerian's, i saw people complaining about it on youtube so i have a question is that not Lagos?, this is the way to make our leaders see the filth people live in, Rozay God bless you for exposing the not so talked about place in Africa's so called Big apple, THAT VIDEO SHOWS A PART OF US THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE AND IT'S A WAKE UP CALL TO THOSE OF US THAT HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS LIVE IN PLACES LIKE THAT..... My Naija people we have to stop talking and start walking and acting. We have been talking since 1991 and still yet no change.. the mode of action can't be the mouth alone. am gonna like that video now on youtube. 1 Like |

Quite shameful! Only Eedris Abdulkareem shot a video like this- remember Nigeria jagajaga. It is pathetic that none of our artistes wants to be poor people's voice, rather they want to build a castle in lekki, and a mansion in dubai while they relish in their jets. Isn't that our artistes' dream? 1 Like |

Who is Rick Ross Another "my own people reject" musician? Hope He can see the level of difference and reasoning between His shallow thinking mind and the likes of Madonna, AJ and Brad Pitt?

Unnecessary complaining. Rick Ross didn't fabricate anything in the video. Those are real-life images of the current living situations of many people in Nigeria. What're people complaning about? When BBC made their "Welcome To Lagos" documentary (a must-see, for anyone who hasn't), there were some murmurings on NL too. All the energy y'all are directing toward complaining should be going towards Change. When was the last time D'banj, Wande Coal or many other Naija artists shot a video with poor people in it? It's even shameful that it had to take an outsider to come and show these images. It serves as a wake-up call for us. Keeping these situations in the closet, as many of you would like, would not help! Stop the complaining! 1 Like |

Very good of Rick Ross, My question is,did he lie about the state of nigeria? Did he portray a false picture in his video? We shld stop been sentimental and face the fact, the standard of Living is discouraging,most graduates are jobless , Its better the world sees nigeria the way it is. Thanks Rick Ross for exposing our government. |
