Describe the documentary:
The story is mainly about how bad Nigerians as citizens. Reporter Henry Bonsu interviews Nigerians who are really angry by poor infrastructure, lack of jobs, extremes in wealth and poverty, and government corruption.
Nigeria is campaigning for a new image and a new reputation in an effort to attract some much needed investment. That idea started as opposed to the movie district 9 that portrays Nigerians as gangsters and prostitutes who have sex with aliens and eat their flesh afterwards. Not only the movie, for years and years now Nigeria had a very bas reputation as a corrupt and violent place.
The minister was convinced as he stated that the media is disturbing the image of Nigerians and that Nigerians should be able to tell their own stories by themselves to the whole world.
Afterwards a lady was confident enough to say in a sound bite without Nigeria there would have been no Africa what we did years ago is still affecting us till now the lack of resources, poverty, and wars.
Not only that, she as well said that RE- branding Nigeria is not a dream based on nothing its an organization that has profound thoughts and the rules and hard work will re build Nigeria and improve its image.
Why was the documentary interesting?
The content of the documentary was very interesting though it was a bit long. I really was fascinated with what the Nigerian film maker said about feeling that she is sick of feeling that wherever she decides to live she never feels like it is her home.
Not only that, knowing that everyone asked about Nigeria always mentions the bad and that is very shocking. Moreover, the film maker as well said that she wants her children to go anywhere in the world and be proud to be Nigerians.
Quality of the narrator’s voice?
The narrator’s voice was mostly clear what I felt was not that clear were the sound bites however they were very influential and emotional to the story and even though the quality was not that good I kept listening.
Was the documentary too long? Too short?
The documentary was too long many information and many speakers which confused me for a while and towards the end I was bored but the last speaker really grabbed my attention with the bank account story where banks do not accept opening accounts for Nigerians.
But if I were the reporter I would have at least shortened the sound bites as there were unneeded parts in them.
