The only time I have actually saw something good about Nigeria on CNN was when they ran the advert about Nigeria and Obasanjo said something like 'Nigeria, the heartbeat of Africa.'<BR/>Yeah! Mamarita, I had a similar experience on New year's Eve 2007, their yearly countdown had presentable events such as Pluto lost it's identity as a planet, the eclipse, James Brown died then for the 26th or so they showed Nigeria in disarray during the pipeline explosion. I was irate, good things happened in Nigeria that yr but they weren't featured and definitely worse things probably happened in other countries but they had to include us in their 'countdown'.<BR/>Well we r kinda to blame, we practically worship their indigenes that reside here.<BR/>Maybe one day the tables will turn, hopefully in our lifetime.MissIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530152461902275708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-39345232635505846482009-03-18T12:02:00.000-07:002009-03-18T12:02:00.000-07:00Here's my take on the issue, CNN likes to think Am...Here's my take on the issue, CNN likes to think America is the best country in the world and the only way to help the world notice is to paint the other countries in the world as BAD by highlighting the worst of the best cities.<BR/> I remember when we were entering Y2K and they were showing celebrations all over the world, the CNN reporter, left the island, and carried himself to a party in mushin where he was drunk of burukutu and had CNN showcasing a l'agbo l'agbo party, but he didn't explain that the screaming through the microphone was actually the omo ita singing, but that it was rowdy...and when he was about to pass out, he said there was teargas being thrown by the police...<BR/><BR/>Oh well...Mamaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399268871531629659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-67825080878424547452009-03-18T09:51:00.000-07:002009-03-18T09:51:00.000-07:00They don't have any empirical evidence to back...They don't have any empirical evidence to back their findings...that im VERY sure of. <BR/><BR/>Let's pretend (for the sake of this analysis) that Africa is the the worst continent for expatriates to work in the world. Nigeria can't top the list in Africa! Lailai!<BR/><BR/>Ok...let's pretend again that Nigeria tops the list in Africa (im finding it too hard to pretend about this one but i'll try).Lagos can never top the list in Nigeria, many Nigerians can attest to this.<BR/><BR/>Don't they have enough bad (home-made) news to worry about, like serial???<BR/><BR/>For us, I think a well packaged documentary where expatriates who have been around for a while can share their sincere experiences should be part of the rebranding idea.<BR/><BR/>Then, we can project a more appealing sights and sounds of this country rather than the usual image-denting reports of the CNN & Co.Daringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371849187724940966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-47135012561052274772009-03-17T13:04:00.000-07:002009-03-17T13:04:00.000-07:00Yes, I heard that report too and i was a bit miffe...Yes, I heard that report too and i was a bit miffed that they considered lagos of all paces to top the list.<BR/><BR/>Whatever happened to Portharcourt and all those other cities where expatriates are being kidnapped and they dare not show their faces in public?<BR/><BR/>Someone should give the reporter a lesson or two! <BR/>Good job you have done here.SHEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410439697908739923noreply@blogger.com
