How Do I Reconnect With Nigeria?

I discovered this site because I was "googling" a family member.  I currently live in the states and have been here for about 14 years. I have not been back to Lagos since I flew over, not for lack of desire, but because I had zero funds.   I barely remember any of my friends from school (All hail FGGC Bwari!) and I have more fingers on my right hand than I have close Nigerian friends. 

I don't speak my native language fluently any more because I have not had anyone to speak to in eons.  Now that I have a few Nigerian friends, I'm working on my lingual skills, but OH MY WORD, it is hard!     It's embarrassing quite frankly.  I don't particularly like to be laughed at.

I want my my children to know who I am and where I come from,  but at this point, I'm at a loss at where to start.  I've read a number of posts and it appears that everyone seems to be well-connected.  But there has to be one person who's going through what I'm going through, or has been through what I'm going through. 

Any good-spirited pointers to show me the way?

please come home and stay with your people, lets develop and improve Nigeria together.

Don't listen to them oooooo!  stay where you are and enjoy your life.
