ay-Z is in the middle of a massive world tour taking him to places affected by water shortages and contamination. He is filming a documentary for MTV titled "Diary of Jay-Z: Water For Life". And he came to nigeria for that reason ONLY, quite frankly, our water sucks.

whats your view ?

Why r u CRYIN? Which 9ja water SUCKS?

i appreciate jay-z tryin to help us, but why everytime they talk about africa, its about things we don't have. they should focus more on what we do have instead of what we don't have. and nigeria is very beautiful in culture if someone has the gut to show people that instead of hungry ppl.

can somebody xplain what he means by water sucks

i guess he means that its not good enough to drink or something like that.

WAS WRONG WITH THE WATER?

dont yu all know that the water we drink in nigeria sucks big time. DOnt tell me you havnt noticed the high rate of typhoid nowadays, how come most people who travel to nigeria and drink our so called water go back with typhoid, gees ppl our water really really really SUCKS!!.
We need clean and good water.

Ok i'v hrd you 9ja water SUCKS----all i want to ask u naw is waz that Y he came 2 9JA?

cuz i never still get ya POINT

i met him in harlsden few tears ago drivin a big car similar to the one i am driving now.
thats him doing his reconinsence work.

For south here our water is cool. . .

RAYMAND which south get better WATER?

Jay-z implied in 1 of his trax that african gurls r dead-broke n naked n we went shaking our asses when he came. It cost almost a thousand dollars 2 go watch the show live in a country where 70% of its population lives well below the poverty line n whoz blabbing he came to 'help' us? Help? U honestly believe he gives a Bleep about africa? Or knowing what's positive about us? Think again.

These Oyibo people think say all Africans are all illiterate and still living in the bush!Or else how can u explain the fact that he really wants us to believe that he came to offer help!How much was the ticket to his show!!!!Honestly I will rather use that money for sth else than buy a ticket to watch Jay Z.If he wants to help there are many ways he could have done that rather than trying to disguise a tour as a work of charity.Me I don even tire for all these our AA brothers sef

@ jaybaby

South side for hia, PHC nad the other south south. . .na we own the atlantic for Naija

yeah he needs to remove our name from his big-ass mouth. all these celebritries looking for "causes" to help in an attempt to boost their images and make them look like theyre doing something for humankind. hisssss!!!!!

rAY UNA WATER NA STILL DSAME NI WITH ODA WATER

Uche if u had money 2 spare u wld have gone!!!!!!!!

So J-z came 4 all u guyz said & was still PAID  I bow 4 9JA o

If I had a truckload of money I would find more noble,better,worthier( abeg my vocab don finish) things to do with it than to go to a Jay z show.I dont even feel his raps!If it were Eminem,Fiddy,Game the temptation might be there.2pac would have been a definite yes!Bleep JayZ,and if his biatch gets angry,Bleep her too!(tho I admire her talents! )But you can not diss Naija where I am and expect to walk free!

Lol Uche all i no is that the guy came 2 9ja 4 a TOUR & was still PAID*******it still dey pain me*****

jaybaby:

Lol Uche all i no is that the guy came 2 Nigeria 4 a TOUR & was still PAID*******it still dey pain me*****

The thin pain me pass u!
But no be say dem pay am dey vex me.My own vexation comes 4rm the fact that he wants us to believe that it is charity!Haba Jaybaby( abi na Jay Z ) we fit be Africans that are still wallowing in poverty and underdevelopment but we still know the difference bw a commercial tour and a corporal work of mercy.Jbaby warn ya name sake o!

The guy really don use our head shoooooooooooo,,,, ow can? u no ow many pple paid 100gees tak 'nta?

make we no talk abt d 25k or d 10-----9ja go 4ever b MUMU

Complete Mumu.
Phew,they paid all that only for him to say he came to give us water.Na only God go judge that man!

Wait i wasnt able 2 watch it-----------did he say it on stage that he came 2 9ja 2 give us WATER

Haba j-z we 2 go skool naw----THISDAY i''m r disappointed in u GUYZ!!!!!!!!!!

I feel you guys. . .Nigerians are so easily exploited!

Of course the water sucks-afterall you all sterilize your drinking water(i hope)
Jay-Z is entitled to his opinion as guaranteed by the articles on human rights
by the UN.There are more pressing issues-HIV/AIDS, ILLITERACY,CORRUPTION,
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION, INFANT MORTALITY,ETC which are more important
than some ignorant ghetto wanksta.Serves us right

ROTFLMAO

i think it has nothing to do with exploitation. people have a choice whether to support j-z or not. i even think naija knows whats going on. they just want to see jay-z cuz he's famous. not because he wants to "give us water". who made him in charge?

yes we are easily exploited, tell me any artiste that can boast of $200 a show in the US, even MJ, Prince or Frank Sintra show won't cost that for standing. Seeing is believing check out www.ticketmaster.com and see for your self. That will get you a nice seat at the old Laker's game. I sorry for Nigeria.
