Kobojunkie:that's why I am objective. In the digital age its all out there so any lie can be verified. There's honour in repping ones country no matter how bad. When in the western world, colleagues etc tend to respect you more rather than being fake or dissociating yourself from naija as some peeps do. Not you |

eros:being real is good.at work no one dissed nigeria after watching 'welcome to lagos'. You know what they were saying? Resilience, resilience, resilience! Now because of the exposure of that series vocal slender left the swamp and came to london recently.resilience is a good virtue to have, the ability to never give up. I bvelive that's one of our strongest traits as a people. |

Hmn, this na serious matter o ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel pictures and videos of Nigerian Entrepreneurs who are doing well despite the harsh business environment they operate in should be sent to CNN. We need to post videos of the Dundun and Akara seller who has sent 7 children to school through the proceeds of her roadside business. Stories like these will touch the world. Cheers. www.vibes-extra..com |

Redman44:you have really impressed me with your thought process. Bravo brother. About the akara seller I couldn't agree more. Just as I said too, RESILIENCE. |

I think most people posting are not seeing the opportunity being presented by CNN. It is no longer news that things are going wrong in Nigeria; everybody knows how corrupt the country is. However, what’s not known are the redeeming qualities that make Nigerians proud of their country. Don’t miss your chance to show the world the Nigeria that doesn’t make the news. |

If we are to talk about the negative things in nigeria, i bet we could write a whole book, let's stop the complaining and get real. Let's stop looking at countries that are better than us and be thankful for the accomplishments made no matter how minute they may be. Yea we have bad government, no jobs, arm robberies, and so much vices but what if God had decided to give us bad weather like earthquake, tsunami and snow storms, i bet we would still be complaining. Here in the united states, people work all their lives, only to use the money to pay bills and medical costs, most of them wish they had a country where they can enjoy beautiful weather like nigeria, where they can wear buba and shokoto and eat various exotic foods, where they can do business and not pay heavy taxes, where your money gives you more right than your companions. Nigeria might never become what we want if everyday we keep waking up and raining curses on our sweet motherland! |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by usbcable(m): 4:43am On Sep 16, 2010 |
They say show what you want the world to see. All of you guys wanting to paste bad images, think twice. All the bad things being perpetuated by Nigerians both within and outside the country, how does it affect you, surely its negatively. But that dont mean that you as an individual is like them bad representatives. So now heres a chance for you to tell the world that within this corrupt enclave of Nigeria there exists someone that is good, someone that is different, someone that is not like what most Nigerians are perceived to be i.e. a ideal human being. If you cant tell the world about something good about yourself then never expect BBC or NBC or FOX t.v. or CNN to do it for you. |

~Bluetooth: 'Yeye NGO'?! Since when did donating millions of Naira become 'doing enough' to protect abused kids? Isn't it the state's duty to PREVENT the abuse from happening and not to wait until the innocents are already suffering in orphanages before doing anything? Abeg if you have nothing to do to help those suffering kids, please refrain from abusing those who are doing something. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by usbcable(m): 7:36am On Sep 16, 2010 |
If anyone of us is asked to tell us about their dads, mums, bros, sis, or grannies. we will outline many positive characteristics of them.We wont make it seem they are also part of the larger society in which they also have one form of vice they perpetuate. If anyone of us is doing an interview we would never start saying any of our bad habits no matter how little. So for ourselves sake, I feel we should showcase good things even if be the picture of us. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by Nobody: 7:38am On Sep 16, 2010 |
texazzpete:Yeah. . .it's the duty of the state but the state still extends its hand of generosity to the NGO to assist these children yet the NGO insist the state is doing nothing to protect them anyways CNN was fair in the reporting by promising to go to Akwa ibom to get the true story of things.Some folks are just too desperate to get money by false pretence. |

no offence but what great weather are people talking about? anyway people should start taking their pics and stop arguing |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by EdDave(m): 8:35am On Sep 16, 2010 |
Just tinking. What makes u believe dat we dont have enof bashing out there as it is? We have bin labeled 1 of d most corrupt countries. Last year, 'we' sent a terrorist to blow up americans. Our political terrain is very turbulent. These are no longer new to anybody. If fact, d US make it luk we are savages while they paint a pic perfect AMERICA. Wat we shud be tinkin abt is wil our pics/videos help change our present state or not. Wil d bad pics bring foreign assistance or not? Wil d gud pics attract investors or not? I rest my case. |

"Evry day my pple dey inside bus, Suffering & Smiling" "49 Sitting 99 Standing, Suffering & Smiling" "Dem go reache house wota no dey, Suffering & Smiling" "Dem go reache road go slow go come, Suffering & Smiling" "Dem go look pocket money no dey, Suffering & Smiling" "Dem go reache work query ready, Suffering & Smiling" "Evry day na de sametin, Suffering & Smiling" "I'm sori sori o, 'm sori 4 Naijaria, sori sori o, 'm sorry 4 aaaaaaafrica, " Yet, truth from the mouth from somebody we don't like to associate our names with. We Naijarians, when will we ever learn to be sincere with ourselves? One of d largest oil exporting nations, yet we are broke, day in day out, embezzlement here & there, yet effcc keep chasing anti-government in power, yet we praise our leaders in d mosques and churches (though we condem them thereafter and go back again to praise them) and now showcase ourselves to the world so that they say "you see, Nigerians are not suffering, see them smiling, wonderful". |

Imagine for a second that Nigeria is indeed the greatest country in the world. would u really need to tell or show anyone that? Emerging countries like Brazil China and India are busy at work yet here we are trying to sell propaganda to people who don't care squat about us. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by Nobody: 10:01am On Sep 16, 2010 |
Redman44:Yet another post from you full of negativism, apathy and passivity about your country. Developing Nigeria is a collective responsibility of all Nigerians not just government officials. Nevertheless it is ludicrous to think that sundry Western reporters would catalyse the infrastructural development of Nigeria, by a few sporadic and perhaps sensational reports. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by Nobody: 10:06am On Sep 16, 2010 |
Horayce:True that. It is amazing how some people consider this matter. Development in Africa would come about by hard work and discipline not by lopsided Western media reports. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by Ayowumie(m): 10:51am On Sep 16, 2010 |
There is no reason why we should deny the bad reputation of our corrupt country (e.g Ogun state and its law makers) while not forgetting to focus on the need to accentuate the good part (warm and accommodating people of Nigeria) Hmm, I had better hurried up to send a picture of our law makers tearing themselves up in the National Assembly! |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by okeymadu(m): 10:53am On Sep 16, 2010 |
@OP. Go, tell those foxes at CNN we don't need their spotlight projection. We are OK. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by bidemi12(m): 10:54am On Sep 16, 2010 |
Like it or not the truth must be told. why should i represent positively when things are negative. if we all do that then we are affirming what our senators are doing, what armed robbers are doing, what are education system is, what our job opportunities are etc. when we twist the truth it is like saying there are no problems and things should be business as usual. Saying the truth is not really to bring us down but to expose those bastards in government to the world properly so then they go out to fluant their stolen wealth those outside will have it in the back of their minds that they are thieves. since it is hard for most to understand let me break it down in a way they will. If my child is doing badly in school i would not want his teacher to color his achievements but to tell me as it is so that i can put appropriate measures to correct the situation. doing otherwise is same as cheating me and my child of his future potential. that is what those that try to color the truth are doing; cheating us of our future. |
Re: Show Your Nigeria To The World By Cnn Ireport by shotuns: 11:06am On Sep 16, 2010 |
The world has seen too much of negatives about this nation and everyday they hope something would be done , I wouldn't object to the idea of creating a better image to showcase Nigeria as a not totally bad place to live , we are good and great people, we are everywhere in the world, we do wonderful things everywhere and we are widely recognised just for the useless and selfcentered leaders. There is no perfect country in the world, economy wise,political wise,cultural wise, even the said 'most diverse nation on earth is not. so why can't we try and paint our own nation good. No one will do that for us unless we start being patrotic amidst our failures . The rebirth of our nation is resting in the hands of we the 'youth'. .God bless us. Personally I am going to send the best pictures i could lay my hands on, who knows where you and I may be tomorrow. The foundation begins from here. Xiexie brothers and sisters. |
