I believe it was a major blunder detailing the flaws and omitting the good things about Lagos. I heard there are ghettos in UK as well. How about a Nigerian production detailing these slums on quality film, posting it on a cable network with a strong global audience and calling it 'Welcome to UK'. That would be an awesome way of hitting back, trust me. I like the boiled yam-pounded yam etc allegory you used here. Witty yet to the point. I'm yet to see 'Welcome to Lagos' but from the stories i've heard on the production, they messed our Lasgidi big time.Geebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865221163860159914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581269200973084522.post-15026056577485854382010-05-12T13:17:05.713-07:002010-05-12T13:17:05.713-07:00@Neefemi, pls watch it...

It makes it more balanced. <br /><br />I never knew pple lived like that until i watched the series and i'm a Nigerian who was born and raised in Nigeria. Just imagine the impression people who don't know better would get. I still think it was a great series and i thoroughly enjoyed it.NaijaScorpiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375583469985472050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581269200973084522.post-35733659420293199412010-05-09T20:47:25.423-07:002010-05-09T20:47:25.423-07:00I share the same view with you.

Like I have always told people, they are just telling a single story(remember the danger of a single story by Chimamanda).
