District 9 was a movie about extraterrestrials getting stuck on earth. It was modeled as a metaphor for apartheid South Africa with the marginalized aliens playing a role equivalent to SA blacks. For those that were prone to miss the metaphor, the aliens happened to get stuck in SA.<br /><br />PPS:The movie depicted Nigerians as cannibals, warlords and cool with extraterrestrial prostitution.

Whosoever loves Fringe is my sibling :) Do yo...@EDJ<br />Whosoever loves Fringe is my sibling :) Do you look for the observer in every episode? And yes, JJ Abrams is really setting things up to seem like Peter is from a parallel Universe, but I wouldn't be shocked if he pulls off an M.Night Shyamalan and plays it out like Walter is the foreign universe guy. I'm not too happy with the new season though, the first episode with the shape shifters had some really sloppy writing. The scene where Charlie got killed and his form replicated by the shape shifter required way too many change of clothes in a few seconds to make sense. Well, small price to pay to enjoy the series.<br /><br />Funny I'm into Stargate universe and have never really paid my dues with Battlestar Galactica. My bro always tried to get me initiated but it just never worked. I love how Startgate universe dishes out themes from the bible, And to think I got sucked in because of Robert Carlyle. I'll definitely do battlestar galactica once time permits.<br /><br />Back to the topic. The professor that handled my compiler optimization coursework did a similar thing to your coworker when he found out I was from 9ja. He was genuinely puzzled and tried getting me to explain why he gets so many letters from princes. lol.<br /><br />You really don't want to get me started about Naija.<br /><br />@Azazel<br />You don't watch Fringe? You sir, have an incomplete life. If you love cutting edge science like I do, it's a must. Besides the plot lines are not glib like so many other shows.<br /><br />@Myne<br />lol. @any publicity is good publicity.<br /><br />@Nice anon<br />My puffpuff. I'm down with that.

I watched all 4 seasons in about 2 days this summer. It was like watching the bible from Genesis to Revelations. <br /><br />And don't get me started on Lost.<br /><br />But back to the topic. As a category B/D my response to D9 is that Nigerians will be JUST FINE. If you don't like the portrayal then do something about it.<br /><br />Do you know the other day at work some1 actually said to me, "You're a Nigerian so you can help me avoid scams. I saw that 60minutes episode." <br /><br />Ppl out there cant be delusional enough to assume that foreigners don't have a basis for their views on Nigeria.<br /><br />Don't Nigerians stereotype Americans all the time? Haven't you watched those Naija movies where a Nigerian living abroad, visits the country and falls in love with a Nigerian girl? Whenever the American-Nigerian comes back he is always portrayed as a general idiot, walking around saying "yeah man!" and partying his life away in "amoral" pursuits. Then the good Naija girl rescues him and converts him much to the relief of his parents. It may not be on the same level as D9, but Nigerians have misconceptions too.<br /><br />As I've said on my blog, <br />"Nigerians are a special group of people--prone to overreaction and irrational support of their country."<br /><br />See my entry titled <a href="http://egodujour.blogspot.com/2009/09/not-nigerian-enough-well-excuse-me.html" rel="nofollow">"Not Nigerian Enough?

I dey category B but say the word and A it shall be.<br /><br />@Azazel<br />I'm a bit of a radical about this. Category B. Countries are just a way of foisting inequalities on otherwise equal humans to create 'economic & social gradients' for the profit of not many.<br /><br />@Nwanyi<br />Biafra is a very attractive dream. I would be an advocate, if it wasn't such a pipe dream.<br /><br />@titi<br />I said carve your niche. Define your own category make we see.<br /><br />@burramint<br />Dora was shockingly stupid and ignorant for banning the movie in Nigeria. As a minister of info, that was the single most powerful thing she could do to misinform Nigerians of the plight of their bad rep. <br /><br />D9 did 9ja a favor. Offering a peek into hidden prejudices in foreign minds.<br /><br />You can not police the thoughts of free humans and you can't expect or demand that they never express ideas you find distasteful. That way leads to fascism.<br /><br />I say the correct response to D9 is to have our own vitriolic rubbish in the name of artistic freedom. Keep foreigners on their toes for once.<br /><br />@EDJ<br />I stand with you on this one. B.<br /><br />DH?? That's like uber chic gospel. I walk the path of "Fringe" and "Stargate universe" can't wait for new series of "V".
