Nigerian Officials Try To Block 'District 9'

September 22, 2009 | ISSUE 45•39

  • If the Nigerians would just lose a little weight, they'd have nothing to worry about."

  • I saw District 9, and it didn't change what I think about Nigerians. Which is nothing. I only think about America."

  • Because the Nigerian government's vast oil wealth is always generously and transparently passed down to its grateful citizens, you can see why the information minister would chafe at a film that portrays Nigerians as corrupt thugs."
