New: Ch5HD Michael Palin in Nigeria 9PM Tuesdays
 

1 of 3


[Michael has never visited Nigeria,
and he’s long been fascinated by its story,
cultures and significance within
the African continent. Experiencing
what life is like in this dynamic country,
through the voices, opinions
and experiences of Nigerians from
all walks of life,
he finds a place where optimism can
rule in the face of adversity,
where world history casts a shadow,
and where the modern world and
contemporary Africa’s dilemma of wealth
and poverty are found side by side.
For Michael, the so called
‘Giant of Africa’ is a story that reflects
our contemporary world in so many ways,
and his journey explores how Nigerians
and their country face the many
challenges of now,
and the legacies of the past.]

I am Recording this.

On the first,
episode he went to a beach

On a Sign it said

No Homosexuals
and
No Indian Hemp


He left that beach
later went to the place of
the slave trade.


1672 the start of the
British Slave Trade


1807 Great Britain stopped other Salve Trade
in the rest of the World
but not in Nigeria
he said it went on longer

Episode 2 is Great

He goes to North Nigeria
before 1914 it was a separate nation.
Great Britain, Joined the 2 nations
that year.


He meets a nice young lady who
was kidnapped by Evil
Boko Harum.

The Strict Muslim part of Nigeria


She got Married
to avoid being a sex slave.

She escaped 2 years later,


Around 100 are still under
those terrorists.

Ugh, Nigeria. A country with so much richness and points of fascination but so misunderstood.

Great New Railway
built by China, costing Billions.

Abuja a Modern City
in the middle of Nigeria.

He is safer there.

This is Educational

Next, the roads are rough.

3 Episodes filmed all in HD

Great Traffic Lady Police Cop
does dancing.

The Final Episode looks Great.

He is standing
and an Angry Nigerian Lady
gives him some words.
"what are you doing here?"

She shouts then points to a statue
of British Army Leaders.


This is why Michael Palin is great
he shows the viewer all the edits

The roads are very dangerous at the minute. Not necessarily because of potholes and bad structure (although that doesn't help) but the risk of kidnapping along the way. You want to go to Abuja from Enugu, Awka, Port Harcourt or Lagos, you're best getting an intra-national flight. There's no guarantee you'll make it to Abuja in one piece by road at the moment. Risk of kidnapping is just too high.

Making it to Abuja
he loved how nice it was

The Final Part 3

Showed a Great brass maker



Then showed the sad zone
the Port.

Sadly Locals Cut into the oil pipes
to get oil.

As a result, the river is Dead
as Oil flows into it.

Even worse no school for the young folks.


This is something that the Nigeria Government ignores.


The Petrol makes Billions of Dollars
but all the locals are left alone.

This is why the corruption in Nigeria
is such a problem.


After that he goes to the
Massive God Worship Zone

Full of people some with children.

They all look up at the massive screen
with a projection.


10 Outta 10 Documentary series.

Awful place

It has some nice places.

Just not the Port
