It's quite sad that things have gotten progressively worse since we made this documentary - the government is Still Fuelling Poverty, and the everyday Nigerian is still bearing the brunt of it. Sad!!

[OPEN COUNTRY MAG @OpenCountryMag]

Fuelling Poverty is a 2012 Nigerian documentary directed by Bako, capturing the peak of the Occupy Nigeria movement in early 2012. The 28-minute film includes appearances by Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, Femi Falana, and other prominent figures.

Another development, superstar actress Genevieve Nnaji’s film adaptation after a five-year hiatus, would account for the high placement of Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani’s “I Do Not Come to You by Chance” (No. 10 in Fiction; No. 16 in Top 100).
