Personally, I think the programme should be viewed from both intellectual and emotional perspective. The intellectual aspect of the programme shows the resilience and the indomitable character of Nigerians, their determination and passion to survive and succeed at all without depending on any government something which their white counterparts on benefit in UK need to learn. This charcteristic is the driving force in many successful Nigerian at home and especially in the diaspora. I have seen Nigerian climbing from cleaner in central London to becoming a director in the same organisation and excelling in their chosen profession. This is what Nigerian are capable of. Can you believe this guy working in the slum yet having a clear vision of becoming a musician, the slum was not strong enough to stop him from fulfilling his dream, so are many Nigerians at home and abroad.
The emotional aspect of the programme has to do with seeing our comrades working at the slum in 2010, and their naked being shown to the world.
Conclusion, I was quite taken back because for the first time I can watch a documentary by BBC about Nigeria and hours after watching it I cannot stop thinking about it. I finally decided to round my thought with the fact that the most pressing need in the world now is recycling and it is great to see poor Nigerians teaching the world that it can be done commercially. Well done my people. Hopefully these guys will be able to become more industrious and even make more money. For you abroad the guys at home are showing us the business potential at home. Good luck
