Those of you who are upset by this documentary, you shouldn't be. As an American, this city looks amazing to me and bustling with positive energy. We are used to seeing images of cyclic poverty in Africa but here in Lagos I see people rising out of poverty, getting educations, starting business, commerce and a government that is doing it's job. It's very much like New York in the early 20th century.

@400yearAfricanplan As a naija boy, norn and bred let's be honest with ourselves these places do exist in naija. In naija bad places out number good places i am just saying, i have been to london and i don't see people people living on water but instead the government build bridges and beautriful landscape to develope the surroundings, naija wake up and develop ur people so that aljazeera will come back and film the development.

@addeyfat

There are 160 million Nigerians, so howcome they would go and interview a cotonoo man instead of a Nigerian when they want to talk about Nigeria ?

Are the Nigerians dogs who can not speak ?

@exo84

actually you are totally wrong, they only showed the slums and ignored the countless luxury areas and well built places in and around Lagos. Do you know how many slums they have in Qatar ? Do they ever show any slums in Qatar ?

No, they do not have our interest in mind, they are just trying to scare investors as you can see it at the end when the guy says that people coming Nigeria should be afraid.

Lagos is the second bigest city in Africa, so please don't you dare compare Lagos with accra. Moreover these Benladen lovers are only showing the slums in Lagos.

im a naija boy too but they never show the good parts of africa.... ever this is bullshit

[crazee1465]

Lagos look so chaotic when compared to Accra. But this documentary is interesting. Despite the hardships faced, they have strength in their faith and in God. An inspiring documentary.
