Abstract
Although the dominant narrative among Africans is that Western media portray Africa in a one-sided and negative way, this belief is being challenged as a result of the intervention of the BBC’s Africa Eye documentaries. Although the series focuses on the dark side of Africa, it succeeds in revealing, in great detail, hidden stories about Africa, particularly Nigeria, of which many citizens were ignorant. As such, negative coverage may help to correct social anomalies and chart a way forward for correcting them. This development is a game-changer that has restored Nigerian audiences' confidence in Western media.
