About how ugly the yorubas look?.
This boy is a good looking boy. Yes he looks like
A Yoruba . But he ain't that ugly , ok so the yorubas are not good
Looking people. So what?.

i am simply amazed by the comments castigating the poor chap. perhaps Obama should also have stayed in Kenya to make a difference? ALL those black men outside africa should relocate to africa ASAP to "make a difference"

make a difference where? in nigeria? since when did nigeria start recognizing excellence? Do you people value hard work and honour?

Are the valued members of the nigerian society not the thieves, the vagabonds and unqualified? do you not glorify mediocrity? ARE YOUR LEADERS QUALIFIED TO RULE YOU?


The chap went to a society that values a man's contributions and honours excellence! but you castigate him for it?

So he should have tried to gain admission into NDA? do you have any idea how difficult that is when you don't know somebody somewhere? will he not have to deal with quota system?
does the NDA even admit on merit? where is meritocracy valued in this country?

even if he had joined NDA, would he have had the opportunity to excel? WOULD HE HAVE BEEN RECOGNISED AS PRIMUS INTER PARES?


its funny you folks were not advancing this view when you were all arguing that the Lagos doctors should go abroad to work na? shebi they decided to "make a difference" here

[size=18pt]EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, HAVE YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE YOURSELF IN NIGERIA? HAVE YOU BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR IT?[/size]

before pointing afinger, make sure you are in a position to talk and castigate.

i can only wish the fellow well.

Shankboye: C me see wahala, hundreds of nigerian are joinin d military everyday here in d state, just because of citizenship, 2weeks after u join, u will become a citizen but d repercurssion is dat ur next assignment will be in iraq..I will rather wait 3yrs and get my citizenship dan joining d military...mtchew

It is only active-duty or discharged (discharged with honorable or General) US military immigrates that are eligible for citizenship on day one...i.e. if you have at least one day of active-duty service eg Iran, Afghanistan, or any war or conflict zones, you are eligible to apply for US citizenship.

If you are an active US military with no duty in a war zone, you have to wait one year to be eligible for US Citizen. President Bush made this amended during the Iraq war...and you can find all the relevant info at Section 328 of the US Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

So contrary to your assertions, this guy must have either served in a war zone or must have waited one year before becoming a citizen and not 2 weeks.

No matter how hard the poor guy tried he will always be playing second fiddle in a foreign land.And to join another countries army is the greatest undoing someone can do to his country. let us even look at it in this way, in the event of war between the US and Nigeria, on whose side will that traitor bear his allegiance .All those praising him are too blind to fully analysed the situation on ground ,the guy can be term as a traitor and his Nigeria citizen status be suspended

Respect to the young lad!

We remain proudly Nigerians, fighting under the umbrella of some of the best armies in the world, in a noble attempt to make the world a better place!

To all those who criticize us, I leave you with the words of Peter van Uhm "That is why I took up the gun — not to shoot, not to kill, not to destroy, but to stop those who would do evil, to protect the vulnerable, to defend democratic values, to stand up for the freedom we have to talk … about how we can make the world a better place."

Oluwatosin K Akinduro, a native of Nigeria has been living in the US for twenty-two years since the age of six. He currently serves in the Army National Guard. Today upgrades his status from permanent resident to U.S. Citizen.

"Today is a big day for me", Akinduro said. "It's another monumental moment in my life showing that with Christ all things are possible." "My family is very proud of me", he said.


To the liar claiming they went to school together in Bariga!
