God forbid

so Rick Ross shoots a video in Nigeria and Nigerians are angry because oh hell no he had to go the the slums to document the poverty in Nigeria that is the reality for over 60 percent of Nigerians.....The privileged ones who at least have Internet or have the luxury of studying in a school abroad are mad about something that many Nigerians have come to ignore...anyways.....M.I, the Nigerian rapper could not say it any better...i love this piece and hope that Nigerians stop for a while and think about how we can make things better so that next time a foreigner has an idea like lets see..."why don't i go to some poor African country and show what poverty really is like". Our dear Nigeria would not be on that list...anyways here's what M.I said

Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to see your country portrayed as poor and suffering and full of struggle?
It burns you, does it not? To have some foreigner- who knows nothing of your history and pain, of the stories that flow within your blood- to have this foreigner come in and tell your story?
Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your other wounds?
Does it not make you angry?
We should wax sanctimonious about national pride being slighted.
We should vent our displeasure online.
We should occupy something.
Because God forbid the truth ever be told about what things really are.
God forbid a stranger remind us about those things we choose to ignore everyday.
God forbid we ever face the truth about ourselves.
God forbid we do not go on the internet and rail about how our country is being cast in bad light. God forbid we do not talk about how there is a small minority which lives better than portrayed. God forbid we do not ignore truth one more time.
God forbid we don’t.

Thanks MR Abaga....
