I am probaly teh only person on blogsphere to think opposite from you all. Its just a good old storyville production. It follows the life of a middleclass or upperclass returnee dude. Why is everyone breaking their heads on this film. there was nothing wrong with it. I just saw it yesterday and even did my own post on all this online debate. na wa o!

Was there not enough grinding poverty for your liberal tastes?

Couldn't Have said it better Jeremy. I was completely bewildered....I just couldn't figure out the whole point of the programme. I was sooooo looking forward to it...what a let down!What a waste of time!

For once i agree completely with you Jeremy. I had been waiting anxiously for this documentary. But after the first 15 mins, I began to despair. If anything it just exposed how shallow Walter's thinking was.

I got a call from my friend to watch this and after reading the introduction / summary, I sent a text to almost everyone I knew to tune in and watch.
To say it was a waste of time, is an understatement, my phone kept ringing with everyone wanting to find out if BBC 4 had lost the plot....Did anyone actually have a preview before putting it on air?
It was so disjointed that I thought it was a project by a group of 12 year old kids.
Very misleading title!!!!

"...the great grandson of King Jaja of Opobo, a young chap called Victor."

His name was Walter.. and you're right the whole programme was a joke

It was a BIG disappointment, perhaps reflective of the fact that Western media is never interested in any thing African that isn't about poverty and corruption.

Thanks Jeremy, I came to the end knowing I had wasted one hour of my life. I certainly left emptier than when I started watching. Parts of it just felt repetitive e.g. him lolling about and same shots of his house over and over again; and some of the other bits felt like an afterthought. E.g. what was the point of dBanj? He had no links to the Walter chap (whom the producers had chosen to make the main character). Ok bourgeoning media so let's (fleetingly) include him and koko mansion, if so then you bloody well spend time developing (e.g. him and) other characters. They should have asked for help from 'some' in nollywood.
