Get well soon Funmi. This clip had me scratching my head. Who are these clowns??? They were all absolutely clueless as to the question they were supposed to be discussing. They didn't get one single fact right about Nigeria, and I doubt that they even know who Yar'adua is. "14 million population, main export uranium, national language-French."
What a joke! Thanks for bringing this to our attention..

lawl....this video is hillarious. anywayz sha, d way these "talking heads" clowns were rolling their eyes show that they were clueless about the subject being discussed. that's what you get from the western media trying to mis-educate the world about Nigeria and Africa in general. Tew funny!
BTW, get well soon Funmi!

Get well soon, Funmi.

PS - This is actually a spoof, not real. I dont think any self respecting tv station would allow this to air otherwise. It's meant to satirize just how clueless the western media is about Africa.
