U Didn't Build That

Political candidates frequently hang themselves with their own words. Often they argue that their remarks were “taken out of context,” as with the now infamous comment “You didn’t build that” made by President Barack Obama.

While the right and the left do battle over their outrage regarding what the President really meant with those four little words, an Australian attorney offers his own take on the statement in one of the funniest, smartest political videos to come along this campaign season. Posted on his YouTube channel Sunday, Hugh Atkins’ “MC ‘Bama: U Didn’t Build That” is racking up laughs, page views and started getting the news media’s attention.

VillageBoi:

That disgrace of a fool doing the voice that is pretending not to know how to pronounce any name totally kills the trailer. Having said that it's still better than that pretty bad movie 'Mirror Boy'.
If you watch it with the sound off it's a bit more impressive. I like the loads of extras they used.

This is an international film production and the fact that the voice over does not pronounce Nigerian names the way they should be goes without saying. (Being a none Nigerian) I personally feel that the time has come for Nigerians to begin to raise the bar of our film production industry.

Synopsis

Chuks Oti, mixed-race 419 (advance fee fraud) scammer and illegal immigrant recently deported back to his home country Nigeria from London. Once there he manages to wangle his way out of a possible jail term and ends up in the holiday resort city, Calabar, living with his loyal, much younger British girlfriend Margaret, who insisted on travelling with him to Nigeria.


Chuks takes on menial jobs to make ends meet, but life is difficult .When he runs into his old 419 mate, Mike, a Nigerian pleasure seeker who is full of wild energy and loves to take risks, the two down-on-their-luck friends, with no jobs and no prospects, soon find themselves back in the criminal world.


They become enveloped in a web of scams and danger presided over by the mysterious De Don, leader of a gang of underground arms and drug dealers, who’s hatched an evil plan to takeover the peaceful streets of Calabar.


Chuks and Mike are forced to become part of a dangerous covert police mission led by two internationally trained detectives to stop De Don and keep the streets of Calabar free of crime. But they soon find themselves the targets, as the evil De Don suspects a double cross.


Pursued across the breathtaking scenery of Cross River State by De Don and his guards as well as a raging group of Cameroonian “yardies”, not to mention one very pissed off cattle herdsman, time ticks down to an explosive climax.


Writer and former BBC/CNN reporter and presenter, Charles Aniagolu, weaves an intricate and funny story in this thriller-comedy, with a cleverness and wit that will leave you tense and laughing at the same time.

I do not know where to start so I will not even bother to begin.I believe that the average Nigerian knows the answer to this question. Those that are proud to be Nigerian should sit down and list 10 reasons why, and after that list what they have done to make Nigeria a better place to live in. And also God helps those that help themselves.

Air Nigeria, the nation’s 2nd-largest airline, grounded for safety checks after Dana crash

LAGOS, Nigeria — Regulators grounded Air Nigeria for safety checks Wednesday, while the company’s top executive claimed instead that he had stopped flights from the country’s second-largest airline to “reorganize” after its engineers held a sporadic strike.
The halting of Air Nigeria flights — and the confusion surrounding it — offers a worrying portrait about the state of aviation in Africa’s most populous nation after another airline crashed a passenger jet on June 3, killing all 153 people on board and others on the ground.
While officials continue to investigate the cause of that Dana Air crash in Lagos, other airlines continue to fly in Nigeria with older planes and far more questionable financing. And despite the fact that Nigeria now has the top U.S. aviation rating, passengers remain hesitant about flying in the wake of the crash.
Harold Demuren, the director-general of Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Authority, said Wednesday that Air Nigeria would be able to resume operations after investigators concluded a series of safety checks on the airline’s planes. He said the checks were necessary after engineers attached to the private air carrier had been on strike and had not attended to the company’s fleet of 11 aircraft, mostly Boeing 737s.

Demuren said those checks could be finished within a day.



At a news conference, Air Nigeria chairman Jimoh Ibrahim denied that his airline had been grounded, waving around a photocopied letter he said came from the aviation authority on Tuesday allowing the carrier to operate. He did not explain why Demuren said his airline had been grounded.
“We are not grounded by anybody, but we decided not to fly today because we just felt that we should reorganize and create particular awareness because we’re coming out of (a) strike,” Ibrahim said. He said flights should resume Thursday.
Yet financial troubles have trailed Air Nigeria, a one-time darling of the country when billionaire Richard Branson helped create it as Virgin Nigeria in 2005. Branson pulled out of the airline and in 2010, Ibrahim took it over and renamed it.
Ibrahim, who also directs a major hotel chain, an insurance firm and an oil company, has strong ties to the country’s political elite, as do many in business in the nation. But the engineers’ strike saw workers claiming the company’s finances stopped it from properly servicing its fleet and a top former company official also recently referred to airline’s aircraft as “flying coffins” in local media reports.
Ibrahim told reporters on Wednesday that the airline wants to expand...........

This is getting out of hand, it was a bomb, reports have it that there were between 1-10 deaths, quite a large margin.
