He noted that the High Commission could not comprehend the motives behind the documentary, especially at a time when Nigeria was celebrating the Golden Jubilee of its independence from the British Government.


Why do you believe they come filming this documentary. It is to fling into your face that you guys fight for independence and you have your citizens living in slum. You should have been a shamed to highlight this factor. Only having the recipient laughing at you while reading your letter of protest. You leaders in Nigeria and Jamaica make the fight for independence one of mockery and have our forefathers turning into their graves.

Our forefathers fight for independence from British bondage and they tried their best to set laws and legislation which you corrupted leaders abandoned. You turned your eyes and rape us now tell us what do you think those who used to lord over us are doing now. Laughing at us coming inside our countries and showing us that what our forefathers fought for is nothing now because of you corrupt leaders.

Go and make our shame become pride. Stop the corruption and molesting of our land. When this is done we can be proud and they will have nothing to highlight and laugh about. Letter of protest indeed.

The Managing Director of Air Cargo and Travel Agency, Chicago, Dr. Wale Ajifolokun, told NAN that Nigeria had to boost its ego and write its story.

“If you wait for people to write it for you, they will do that from their own perspectives, which may be wrong,’’ he said.

they are claiming its not the real picture of life in lagos, if BBC was to show the other part, then they will be airing the widest gap ever btw the rich and the poor which is also a bad image. They need to work much harder to help themselves

I found this comment very offensive, it is better to criticise the Government rather than using a derogatory word such as this!! Can this guy do better without receiving bribe from the BBC?  He will probably allow his private life to be filmed by BBC to be shown in London at a drop of a few pound sterling!  He should be careful with his comments.

What on earth are you saying?  The rubbish in Lagos is not unknown to the Governor!  Would the Governor go to the rubbish dump to investigate? I believed there are chains of command within the Lagos State Government that filters down to ordinary commoners in Lagos.  Those living on the rubbish heaps are Nigerians just like the Governor.  One question to ask is this, What has the Governor done since the filming?.  Has he, for instance written a letter to the BBC?  Has he written an open letter in any of the Nigerian Newspaper? No!  Is he unaffected by the Broadcast? Probably Not!! - Hence why should he be commended or what is commendation for?.  The Broadcast is not just about the shame of Lagos but shame of Nigeria.  But, remember such shame exist in any Country in the world - Nigeria is just OTT.
