NO! TO DISTRICT NINE

I have not stopped asking myself how we allowed things to get out of our hands. After watching the movie "DISTRICT NINE" I began to think and eventually came to the following conclusion. We have actually done enough talking and it's high time we started acting as one. Our country Nigeria has been identified with a lot of negativity far and wide and it seems as though we{Nigerians} are doing little or nothing to change this. We have the journalist, the broadcast media{tv & radio} and the print media and i highly recommend that all hands need to be on deck now to condem this act. For those who have not watched this movie, permit me to hint you a little;
Plot Synopsis by Jason BuchananDirector Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa. It's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers. "
The bottom line is that in this movie, Nigerians were outrightly defamed, insulted and displayed as unintelligent. This is a clarion call to Dora Akinyuli, this will notb help REBRAND Nigeria in any way.
The movie should be BANNED! and we must not keep quiet at all. They cannot even refer to South Africa like that! We must protect what's left of our dignity.
