Nigerians are solidly united by the following: love of money, love of power, corruption, culture of impunity, passion for mediocrity, lack of focus and incessant national holidays.

I will accept a less efficient work model if indeed we are learning live in harmony with others and show respect to their belief to their celebration and custom and they counter by doing the same.

We have had our ups and downs. We have survived natural disasters, wars and economic crisis. However, there is no place I would rather me than the United States.
