A Nigerian, Adeyemi Michael, has won the prestigious Grierson British Documentary Award in London.

The 28 year-old man, based in London, attracted global attention, this time, not for a crime, but for an outstanding achievement
recorded with a true life story of a
young Nigerian British based boy named Sodiq now in jail for murder. Accepting the award, an excited Adeyemi expressed happiness for the breakthrough that had
brought him into the global news
scene for the right reasons. “I am pleased to be a Nigerian,” he told Channels Television’s
correspondent in London, Doris
Okenwa. He urged young people to pursue
their dreams following the right
path and insisted that “the grass
was not always greener outside
one’s home country.” Adeyemi called on Nigerians in diaspora to do more in
transforming the nation’s
international image. Many Nigerians often see a life abroad as the only idea of a
promising future. They are said to
be present in all nooks and crannies of the world but unfortunately good news of earnest endeavours of thriving Nigerians in diaspora are seldom told.

However, Adeyemi believes success is not restricted to a location and appeals to his peers in Nigeria and abroad to shun
dodgy means of getting to the
top. The latest recipient of the coveted Grierson British Documentary Award for 2013 is walking his way up the ladder of the industry and seeks to pull more Nigerians
along. He called on the Nigerian government to help the nation’s film industry Nollywood get to the top.

Nigeria’s President Goodluck
Jonathan has shown keen interest
in taking Nollywood to a new level with grants worth millions of Naira. But critics have stressed that as much as the government has a role to play, the industry’s players equally have a responsibility to
make this initiative work.

The guy did a documentary on a fellow Yoruba boy who was jailed for murder in Britain. What is the big deal?
On a second thought, when will Yorubas stop killing in Britain and soiling the image of other Nigerians?

Ogbeni black its certain you didn't understand my post. I meant Igbo will say awo free education gave us edge over them. And that is not an accepted excuse cause funds were accurable to their leaders too during the awolowo free education era.

U senseless e goats are the ones fueling tribalism nd when it comes down 2 seccession u might b on the losing end. Hausa, igbo,yoruba we are all one instead of hauling bitter diatribes at eachother online so the western can see our dirty laundary, let's love eachother and stand for one nation NIGERIA.

And if people start bashing Igbos now, you people will call us tribalists? Can't you look beyond your nose for once?
You really sound bitter. You people do not hesitate to turn anything into tribal wars.!! What sef?
If your day-job isn't keeping you busy, I suggest your volunteer at the local animal shelter, that can help you relieve stress (you have so much pent up anger in you) and trust me it will do you loads of good.

Awon Omo Iran K'iran ton fowo osi juwe Ile Baba won. Alainitiju, Agbaya, Oponu Afo'fun gbemu!!

Aren't you guys tired of flogging this issue?
At the end of the day you are all Nigerians and one brush paints you all.

Let them continue with their dance of shame. The sky is pregnant with rain of shame for them. Thank God they have successfully make their hate known to all Yorubas. Next election, when gej campaign train hit the southwest the Arthur eze hate speech will be blaring loud from speakers.

Instead of congratulating the dude, some motherfvckers will turn this thread to tribal war. You all complain about racism, but your tribalism is worse. I wonder how racist you lot would be, if you were to be from a race SUPPOSEDLY better than others *spits*
