You Still Want To Live In America? by landis(m): 9:21pm On Jul 21, 2008
Detroit was once the symbol of America's industrial power; the birthplace of Ford, the assembly line and the home of GM. But now it feels more like a ghost town littered with abandoned buildings.

In 1913 Detroit was booming but when the Great Depression hit, this abruptly ended. Between 2006 and 2008 four of GM's plants in Michigan closed, and more than 15,000 are homeless in the city. "There's no work in Michigan, all you see is vacant houses" explains one homeless resident. As industries move to areas with cheaper labour, former assembly line workers and buildings are left useless.

Miles better than which city in Nigeria? Detroit soul is gone. Nigeria cities still have souls: happy people.

The point of my post; Nigerians should learn the truth about EVERYTHING and not some hollywood movies (film tricks)

These type of documentary about WEST should be shown to Nigerians.

This will shows despite our problems; we should sit-down and fix Nigeria.

Why would the state of Detroit, prevent someone from wanting to live in America?

It is good that the good and bad of the west (US, UK, etc) is shown to Africans in general though.
