The Nigerian Information Minister has made a statement about District 9. She’s called for Sony to apologize and that the Nigerian federal government is going to ban the movie.

I just got back from home a couple weeks ago. District 9 opened the Friday before I left.

Hello

I'm not sure what I want to say in this comment, except to acknowledge and recognise your view on a profound and distressing problem.

I'm in no position to comment really. I haven't seen District 9, I'm a white Australian sitting in a world of privilege. A world away from Nigeria.

May I just say that it's you and those like you that strenghtens my faith in humanity?

I'll second this.

Thank you both so much. And I ♥ both your icons to pieces.

You're not inflicting anything. Far from it, my dear. I'd no nothing about this, about what is going on in Nigeria, nor about the conditions of its people if you kept silent. So rant on, lovely, we don't mind.

*crawls into your lap* Thank you.

*Snuggles you bunches*

You should know by now, not to mention have enough faith in yourself by now, to know you are not surrounded by people who only want to hide in their own sanitized bubbles.

Without your comments, posts and rants, I'd have NO clue about what is really going on in Nigeria. It quite simply does not make news here--for whatever socio-politicial-economic reasons. So please don't feel like we don't care, or are incapable of caring. We do.
