Pray please keep us updated, I have a great interest in moving back but i am wary of Nigeria and the system, the security situation, the corruption, and the expectation that people will do their jobs as they are supposed to that I have gotten used to living in America.<BR/><BR/>I am yet unsure that i can fit into the Nigerian system without becoming corrupt myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226373758133757839.post-925829448009670512007-10-25T08:48:00.000+01:002007-10-25T08:48:00.000+01:00Hi,You mean it was that smooth?I guess you re stil...Hi,<BR/>You mean it was that smooth?I guess you re still enjoying 'Londoner's' treat.Perhaps you have a protocol officer who is mapping your your trips.

However I will urge you to be very objective in your write up. The purpose should not be to engage in subterfuge and to paint a rose coloured picture of Nigeria but rather to give a true account, warts and all, of your experience.

He would not have been able to have this done in Nigeria even with his wealth. I love Nigeria, but above all, I would love Nigeria to change. Can we do this by not saying it as it is? I don't think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226373758133757839.post-67887739358607998842007-10-24T19:13:00.000+01:002007-10-24T19:13:00.000+01:00I respect your appreciation of our nation and the ...I respect your appreciation of our nation and the work you do to bring about a positive change.
