Dear all, let us agree that what is bad can never at any point in the future be good. Bad cannot produce good. If actually we want to be objective enough, what is called science fiction does not represent complete personification and representation of actual names like was used (Olusegun Obasanjo). That in the first case is a crime against the former president....... Note that am not a fan of Obasanjo anyway. In science fiction, correct names of location are not used. Names are coined, people are made to look like alliens, not the other way. When you want to describe alliens properly, they do not look like humans but the "alliens" in District 9 are purely humans. So, for those who feel what is produced as the best African movie of the year is good, think well about the image of your country. Be a patroitic Nigerian and stand up against the castigation of our image. Remember, not all eggs are bad................not all Nigerians are bad but when a country is branded corrupt, there's no exclusion.......it is the totality of the country. Some of us must have read the public proclamation by Sony that nigerians are scammers and the same Sony has produced a film that agree with their earlier assertion. What are we not talking? This film, District 9 is an intentional act, and as such, Nigerian government should seek a stronger major to dealing with the case than just an apology. These white people come into our country (some without visas), make their money and after leaving, brand Nigeria as a corrupt place. When you go to their countries, they regards us as a representation of evil, corruption, and degenerating members of creatures. We should all stand up against all these rather than joining them in saying same things, even when things are not yet working the way they should. The great America did not achieve all in 10 years. It took their democrasy over 50 years to become what it is today. Even what they have today is not a perfect one. God bless Nigeria |
