@MujahidSSaad This doesn't look anywhere close to intoxication. This has more of mental health issues than of alcoholic drunkenness

@dawisu Writing the last sentence in your post is unbecoming. A person like you who enjoys almost all privileges shouldn't be seeing ridiculing Nigeria.

[Hon. Sesi Oluwaseun Whingan @sesiseun]

I have received with deep concern the news of an upcoming Nollywood film titled “Badagry: I Bad, I Gree”, produced by Destiny Austine Omon and directed by Davison Izegaegbe under Akogun Multimedia Production. After thoroughly reviewing its title, visuals, and promotional content, which portray Badagry as a hotbed of criminality, violence, drug trafficking, and lawlessness, I must unequivocally condemn this film as a gross misrepresentation and an affront to the cultural dignity of our people.

As the elected representative of Badagry Federal Constituency, I find it appalling that our historic, peace-loving, and culturally rich community is being irresponsibly cast in the image of chaos and gangsterism. The title alone is provocative, while the promotional posters, featuring firearms and gangster-like characters, are not only misleading but deeply offensive to the Ogu, Aworis, and the broader Badagry community.

Let me be clear:
This is not who we are.

Badagry is a city of peace, of learning, and of cultural significance. From its status as one of Nigeria’s most historic coastal towns to its recognition by UNESCO as a place of memory and heritage, Badagry stands tall as a beacon of African history, unity, and civilization. We are known for hospitality, religious harmony, agriculture, tourism, and deep-rooted traditions, not for the ills being irresponsibly portrayed in this film.

This deliberate distortion of our image is not only unjust but also a direct threat to our efforts to position Badagry as a world-class tourism destination. As part of my legislative mandate, I have led numerous initiatives to uplift our constituency’s reputation-hosting the Honourable Minister of Tourism in Badagry, engaging with the Minister of Creative Economy in Abuja, and advocating for investments that reflect our true identity and aspirations.

I fully align with the concerns raised by the Ogu General Assembly, our apex socio-cultural body, in calling for the immediate cancellation of the film’s release and the removal of all related promotional materials from public platforms. The damage this film could do to public perception, especially among those unfamiliar with the truth about Badagry, is far too serious to ignore.

This matter is not about suppressing creativity, it is about upholding truth, fairness, and cultural respect. Storytelling must never become a weapon of stereotype or cultural erasure. Our identities are not props for entertainment, and our towns must not be reduced to clichés for profit.

In view of the above, I hereby:

Condemn in strong terms the negative and defamatory portrayal of Badagry in this film.

Call on the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and all relevant regulatory bodies to immediately investigate this film and halt its release.

Demand direct engagement with the producers and distributors to communicate our community’s outrage and seek corrective action.

Assure the good people of Badagry that letters are already being dispatched to relevant authorities and that I will pursue all legal, legislative, and regulatory options to protect the name, honour, and dignity of our constituency.

Finally, I urge all citizens of Badagry and well-meaning Nigerians to remain calm and united as we take deliberate, lawful steps to address this matter. This film must not be allowed to stand as a reference point for who we are. We will resist all attempts to tarnish our legacy, and we will continue to defend the truth of our identity, loudly, proudly, and without apology.

Badagry is not a land of crime.
Badagry is a land of culture, peace, and legacy.
