It is best Nigerians stop doing what they are doing and start to portray a good thing about THEMSELVES and THEIR COUNTRY. I have heard so many bad things about Nigerians but I have not heed to them and there are many persons in this world like me. This movie is bad and it seems as if SONY has a problem with Nigeria and so painting a bad light. You all need to find out what went wrong with SONY and the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. First it was an Advertisement and now a sponsored Show. Talking negatively about Mandela is wrong because what he did was for all BLACKS worldwide and not for South Africa only. There are persons here on the panel attacking HIV/AIDS remember this is a sickness and respective of no one. No matter how safe you might think you are YOU can caught it. Changes begins with us and we need to start the change here.

It sadden me that these attacks are being made against a country I consider my second home. Changes begins with us and we need to start the change here.

@ksurrina.....we all know what we are and what needs to to be done,whether or not we have the morals to do it is our problem not anyone else'. Nobody disputes the fact that there are lots of loose ends as regards the country's image but it won't help us either to allow someone else comfortably batter our already sick image.
You don't keep kicking a man when he's already down!

P.S If SONY has an axe to grind with Nigeria they had better come flat out to say it and resolve whatever is eating them up professionally or risk losing our patronage which is something i'm quite sure they wouldn't want.

If am those guy there i will be producing out a movie that will be touching their phyuking heart. They only use Obasanjo and every idiot is afraid they should have you use OLICHE EGO UNU OBULUSONJO that`s the meaning of that phyuking man`s name in igbo in english is AFTER EATING YOUR MONEY HE WILL STILL BE UGLY but am very sad on that ban. Talking about NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT do we have government? What we have is just for posing to be sincere fellow nigerians WE DON`T HAVE GOVERNMENT but they use that name NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT to borrow money from FORIEGN COUNTRIES, because of this small criticism hey banned a movie worth millions of naira but i don`t blame those fools that says they are in Government because Nigerians don`t criticize if it`s American`s i will like that but they will go ahead banning but they will never stop criticization in Nigeria even musicians like DEM MAMA SOLDIER know`s how to deal with them,i have to stop hear because am angry here now..................

The truth is that a whole lot of things are involved in all these!! A movie is sometin that tells a whole lolt!! I must say that any country that was used wud do same thing that Nigeria did!!



But come to thinkof it....we banned it in Nigeria....lol!!! It is not in Nigeria we need to ban it cos we know ourselves more the outside world!! The outside world need not watch the movie cos thats where our image is tarnished!!!

I wonder why the negative attitude! Well my dear my husband to be is an Nigerian and so it is also my problem. Nigeria will be my second home and just as how I want the best for my country I also want it for Nigeria. So I think it is best you come off your high horse. Cool

Nigeria needs to stop bitching and same goes with those whom applaud them too. Movie is a fiction but yet has lots of symbolism. Movie was exquisite and I love the concepts. Nigerians, if you want the world to recognize your hard works and sweats, stop scamming and stop selling fake cat foods. lmao!

hahahahahah!!!!! Exactly my point!

I think ppl shoud watch the film first before bitching bout it! I out of curiosity, I had to order it from my mates in the U.S army base, Vicenza. Watched it a couple of times but the story is far different from what the nigerians see.
We didn't even see the strong side of the Nigerians in the movie... they were the only ppl that has a proper control over the Aliens (prawns) but the people that are supposed to be bad in the movie were the govt troups (white SA soldiers) forcing aliens to sign an illegal eviction paper and shooting them.
I just don't understand what the fuss is all about. Nigerians! See how we waste our time on useless stuff?
But we make horrible films about ourselves to be viewed worldwide, most times transmitted via satellite tv channels!

That film should be banned, why should they referred to Nigerians as alien eater and I do not know what they are trying to tell us and the reason for the film....I saw that movie at the Silverbird Cinema, Accra, Ghana and I was not happy for paying my money to see that kind of movies, as a matter of fact it spoil our day....Silverbird Cinema should stop showing that film....it deserved to be banned by the F govenments.... Sad

Come to think of it is because Obasanjo name was mentioned in the film as the criminal head but on a good day is he not? PDP BOT whatever. What legacy have these people shown the younger generations, they steal our money, nothing seem to working in Nigeria, imagine Univerisity are shut for only God knows when. If it were to be the case of ordinary nigeria i bet it we wont hear a word. look Dora should get busy and face more pressing issue that affect Nigerian within and abroad. Worst films had been shown and produced by Nigerian than district 9. (Naija Disctrict) whichever way you coin it; but may it only dealt with the lower cadre of the society Naija censor board /Govt did nothing. Please let not leave the real issue affecting nigerian and focus on irrelevant all because obasan jo was mentioned.
