The BBC documentary ‘Welcome to Lagos’ has become relatively controversial. Some see it as a positive depiction of the poor but ingenious in Nigeria’s teeming commercial center, Lagos. Others see it as a negative and derogatory attempt by a foreign media outlet to once again insult Lagos and Nigerians.
While the program was available to a mostly European audience, viewers in America were unable to watch this documentary until now. Below are 6 clips that comprise Part 2 of the documentary. Part 3 of the documentary is yet to air but will be uploaded as soon as it does.
What do you think about what you have seen thus far? Is it fair to categorize the documentary as dismissive of Lagos and Nigerians? Or, are supporters correct that this is a positive portrayal of one of the busiest and most successful African cities?
