Truth be told, YES these things exist here in Nigeria nobody need to fake or act it out for us to know.I can tell you the pictures I see are actual pictures taken live, BUT where I have problems is that BBC forgets that worst things happen within their own environment even in their back yards. Why is it that they didnt compare the pix here with the ones in their country.
The world over have its dumps and ghettos, and that does not make the Africa continent any different. However anchored this story primarily was looking for a ban news to say to the world about Nigeria, why didnt he take pix in Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, Abuja (Maitama and the Asokoro), why didnt he go to Calabar, Abeokuta or least still Festac or Badagary. Let them comapny these pix with the life in Blackpool, or even still Porthsmouth and lets see which is better.
These countries always want to feel they are better off than the Africa nations because our goverment(s) made it so and we as Nigerias who want to travel abroad for the so called greener pastures and end up in precarious situations and still refuse to come home, dont forget and I mean it with every breathe in me we (Africa people) are far better than they think because we are ressilient and rugged in what we do, we dont fall to drugs or other vices easily because situations are bad instead we stand and fight to make things better in our personal lives without government allowances, good amenties, fairness from any quarters and the day to day hardship our system throw our way.
I wish I can on and on but no matter what they write about us or filmed about our nation Africa it was we call ourselves that we are, a nation so disjointed and not organized with our leaders exporting our Mother earth hard given resources to the Western world but still we survive and hope for a better Nation someday. Long live Africa, Long live The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
