Has anyone else been noting how Naija keeps popping up in TV series? First we had the crashed drug plane (complete with 500 naira notes and all) and 'Mr Eko' on 'Lost', then 'Burn Notice' starts off in Warri and not the first episode of 'Leverage' is called 'The Nigerian Job', and surprisingly enough the portrayal was {trying really hard not to spoil} unexpected. Comments anyone? |

Yeah, Spikyn. Unfortunately, I never made the connection myself until you mentioned it. There have been a lot of "on location" and naija actors in many series. I don't know why this is as countries like Angola, Congo, and north African countries were usually favoured before. |

@ vesc: hi, I'd say maybe Nigeria is known enough to matter or easier to point to as an "African country"? Maybe South Africa is too developed to be so "African", ![]() have you seen any episode of Leverage? |
