Kobojunkie:

No, I could not mistake that for a guy. I can't wait to hear if he really claims to be a guy or not. Either he is female or he is a feminine man with those features. lol

olafolarin:

she is definitely Female. Her name is Tawa(Tawakalitu in full).
There are so many female agberos with such masculine fearing face.
You can't push them aside--- They'll bleed you up.

Ileke-IdI:

LMAO!!! I actually enjoyed the part where the old man was question Louis for his permit. And the bickering in between. Lagos ppl

Kobojunkie:

That is what they do ooo!!! Yeye, human beings  . . . I am guessing the man is a nobody wanting a piece of the spotlight for himself. lol

Kobojunkie:

It seems you and your ilk have nothing better to do with your time than to try to tell me how to think, right? ROFLMAO!!! Better ask him what I told him . . .

Were you born and raised in the USA or Nigeria

martinosi:

Dont get it all twisted,  i just what to know where you
are coming from, is just a straight question,

Were you born and raised in the USA or Nigeria

If you were born and raised in Nigeria
and came to the states after your 17th year birthday then i can understand your
logic, You still running your mouth with an *Obnoxious Nigerian-Immigrant Metality"

but if you were born and raised in the USA and maybe you came to Nigeria around the
age of 14/15 and then went back to the states around the age of 18/19 then
you have no excuse for the *way you reason sometimes"!!!

If you are a Nigerian and you were born and raised abroad either in North America
or Europe and you reach the age of 6 years and you cant discern that
something is wrong about the way they potray Nigeria/Africa in the media
then something is definitely wrong with you Brain!!!

There is worser poverty and social conditions in Major Parts of Asia
than Africa but you dont see the BBC doing documentaries to highlight
this fact, GO-FIGURE!

Ileke-IdI:

Will comment when am done watching. This is very interesting. I never thought Lagos was like this.

So MC was really a politician? or attempting to become one? The dude sounds like a hoodrat.

One interesting part was when that man was trying to explain the forcefullness in Nigerian politics and how it is diffeent from the rest of the world's politics.

In my opinion, Lious had a bad Tour guide, he wasnt very clear and eloquent with his explanations. Sounded uneducated.

occam:

-We collect money to protect people from overzealous police
-On corruption: No known corruption (with a wink) in Lagos
-[b][size=13pt] Wen he compared MC to Queen of England, I thought Loius was about to punch him. [/size][/b]Don’t think he’ll get away easily with that at an East pub in London
-The whole scene at MC Oluomo’s house was so funny

occam:

People should take a deep breath & relax; stop bashing BBC.  What damage has this done to Lagos? There are hoodlums like MC all over the world doing the same thing: using young men for violence, hobnobbing with celebrity types, trying to get attention of politicians and attracting a swarm of gold diggers in skirts

joshelen:

we too dey allow nonsense in this country, nobody can carry news like these about some of these countries. rubbish, we have our problems, but others have too, so lets live

ezeagu:

Nigerian people aren't used to this sort of international media attention, and so people become naturally suspicious. We all know that this and even the Welcome to Lagos documentary could have shown worse. I actually agree with someone earlier in this thread saying that the BBC's focus on Lagos is for economic/political reasons, although maybe not for the same reasons that was stated like Louis Theroux acting as a spy coming to tear Lagos' image apart (someone has to ask what image people on this thread are defending, maybe they'd rather leave the grimy reality to people's imagination instead of sealing it with video/audio evidence). Lagos has been officially designated as one of the next largest urban areas on earth by the almighty UN, so journalists have to do their work, they even mentioned Lagos in a recent environmental programme, and Welcome to Lagos almost filmed the exact same shots as that documentary and also mentioned that Lagos is growing. They're just eyeing the next [size=18pt]potential[/size] competition/pace setter/world influencer that's all.

debosky:

World influencer? Influencing other cities to be as lawless and filthy?  

Competitor my backside. . . .the 'competitors' are the likes of Delhi and not Lagos and you can see the giant strides they are making, depsite their obvious problems. Strides so obvious even the 'biased' BBC cannot but admit they have gotten some things right.

If being a 'large urban area' was what was required for greatness, Dhaka in Bangladesh would've been one of the greatest cities on earth by now. Size alone doesn't cut it. Once you lack basic organisation and sanity, there will simply be a large mess called a 'mega city'.

Dis Guy:

One would have thought, Madam Dora, Jonathan or even Fashola would have responded one way or the other to this

Is madam dora going to ask for an apology?
Is Johnie going to talk about it on his facebook page?
Is Fashola going to post pictures of the buildings he commissioned or funds he raised for security?

Kobojunkie:

Again, I suggest you don't quit your day job, cause you make a lousy psychoanalyst and a lousier conspiracy theorist . . . . ROFLMAO!!

martinosi:

OH I SEE! SO U R A NIGERIAN IMMIGRANT TO THE USA,

I think the best response will be for a nigerian to create a documentary on race relations in the UK and the immigrant experience.
Let Nigerians see the UK for what it is. not a land of milk and honey as is being portrayed. lol It won't stop people from going abroad but it will give people something to think about.
most nigerians don't know these things. I had never heard of the word "racism" until i left naija even though it's such a huge topic.

to me, that will be the best response.

Dis Guy:

Spot on! Lets just forget about the thugs harassing innocent traders/motorist daily and sponsor a production on race relation in the UK
Funny enough there are loads of 'immigrant stories' openly available,there have been loads of programmes about racism on their TV networks and guess what their govt response was to tackle it head on as much as they could not to side step the issue
Documentaries? NTA,AIT will rather show High Chief Dr (mrs) getting another chieftancy title than 'waste' money exposing Nigerians to racism in another country
ordinary documentaries about issues within the country has not been explored by Nigerians- desertification, Niger Delta oil spills, kidnapping, SME businesses, unemployment, skill aquisition . . . these are what most nigerian would like to know I believe

Kobojunkie:

Keep guessing . . . don't quit your day job . . . and learn to keep your delusions to yourself as not everyone cares for what you have to sell.
