Obama seeks text messages from Nigerians

In the same way he personally explained his choice of Ghana as his first presidential port of call in Africa, U.S. President Barack Obama is extending an invitation to Nigerians to send him on their phones while he is on his current foreign trip which will see him visiting Ghana later on Saturday. To this end, Obama is asking Africans to send him text messages, promising that those who send messages to him, will also receive highlights of his speech planned for Accra, Ghana. The statement by the U.S. government which was directed to Africans, but which specifically listed Ghanaians, Nigerians, South Africans and Kenyans said "starting July 3, you are invited to send a text message to President Barack Obama with your questions and comments in advance of his visit to Africa." While not visiting their countries, this is seen as a symbolic gestures to connect to the average African in the continent. The U.S. State Department statement on the text-messaging added that "those who respond early will receive SMS highlights from his speech in Accra, Ghana, on Saturday, July 11. This service is available in both English and French," adding that President Obama will directly answer selected questions through local radio broadcasts in Africa.

once gone gone forever

why d heck should we bother to send a txt, its not like he's a messiah or something.

moreover its he's job to look after american interest and not black interest, considering that most of his policies recently have been mostly pro-whites and pro-business. I just hope Ghana would not fall into the same trap that nigeria fell into considering that I know America is interested in the wealth coming towards Ghana as a result of the their new found through discovery of commercial oil quantities.

- i guess that highlighted point is a joke or otherwise it would be a stain on you as regards having a capacity to at least say something factual.

I wonder how that is gonna be done.
