Stop insulting the man by calling him a Nigerian. It's obvious that if he were in Nigeria, they would never have given him the rank and promotion that his intellect deserves. Rather they would promote a semi illterate as long as the name of the illiterate is Mustapha Abdul Muhammad.

No mean feat. Many congratulations man. Perhaps nepotism and ethno-religio-regional supremacist agenda back home wouldn't have allowed him reach his potentials. Nigerians doing exploits abroad than @ the home front.
