Good luck with that guys. If you spent half as much energy doing something about the problem instead of acting outraged when someone makes a reference to it, it would be solved by now.

National News Sep 8, 2009 …demands apology
ABUJA— The Federal Government yesterday asked the Sony Corporation to withdraw with immediate effect and tender an unreserved apology for posting an advertisement on the internet portraying Nigeria as a home of fraud where its citizens hardly do genuine business.

The Minister of Information and Communication, Prof Dora Akunyili said contrary to the insinuations being made, “Nigeria remains a major investment destination and a country where most businesses thrive in trust, good faith, competence and integrity.
According to the statement, “Nigeria also demands an unconditional apology from Sony Corporation for this deliberate negative campaign against the country’s image and reputation.
“The apology must be given the same measure of publicity by Sony Corporation in all channels where the unfortunate adverts were aired.

The offending commercial....
