Planes Immigration Nigerians.mp4

Here's a short animation inspired by the recent negative publicity that Nigeria has been receiving in the international media. Nigeria has been tagged in a Sony Playstation ad, the District 9 movie and even in a little mention in Avatar (cough and youll miss that one). Now with the recent unfortunate airplane bombing attempt that happened during production of this animation, it seems like the international media has got a new target to attack. Nigeria is now shorthand for anything bad in the international medias eyes. Travelling with a Nigerian passport was bad enough already but now its definitely going to be more interesting....

Nigerians arent all saints by any stretch of the imagination. Were not saying that. And god knows the country has big issues to deal with. But Americans arent all angels. Neither are the British, Russians, Europeans, Chinese, South Africans or any nation for that matter. Media houses are free to report in any manner they wish. And of course its not; say CNNs or other media outfits, responsibility to report wonderful things about Nigeria. We just feel they should not pretend to be objective and factual when they are not.

One only has to OBJECTIVELY watch the recent reporting on the bombing attempt to understand this. First it was an attacking frenzy on everything Nigerian. When it turned out that the family of the young man, who are very well respected in Nigeria, actually warned relevant authorities and Western security agencies could be at fault, the media had to alter their direction on how they were reporting the issue.

Nigerians at home or in Diaspora should stop apologising for being Nigerian whether you still have the passport or are now a citizen of another country. If you are honest in what you are doing why do you need to hide? And the international media should either keep things fair and balanced or stop saying they are doing so. Not they're going to listen to this small animation company but hey.

And of course though this short mentions Nigeria, we're sure many other nationalities and people can relate to this.

@grettagrids no offense but silly comment... MOST Nigerians are honest... the scammers are the minority but they're unfortunately more publicized.

@paristwiland Don't worry. We're Nigerian ourselves. Read the description of what the video is about. It's actually about the irrational and blanket labelling of all Nigerians as big bad scary crooks within global media. This animation is against that. We would never hate on ourselves. But we understand how the video can be misunderstood.

Fuckin scumbags

The problem with you reasoning is that other countries each DO have something to offer the world except scammers... yes, America has its share of crooks, but it also has Silicone Valley, Google, NASA, etc. Nigerians are "famous" for only one thing - which is scam. That's the same with my own country. We can only scam the people. I'm glad there's a tendency for Russians to be treated like shit. Wish they'd ban them from entering at all. Shoot the bastards, I'd say!

[Korn1holio]

Scams are Nigeria's largest export... key industry...whatever you call it lol

@cosmiccandy over 90% of asylum seekers in ireland get turned away. What does that tell you about the applicants? It means their cases aren't worth a shit or are riddled with inconsistencies.
