Many Nigerians both old and young alike, if given the opportunity will trade their green passport for a blue one without thinking twice.
The euphoria of being an American citizen is amazing. I don't blame them, when all they can see in Nigeria are problems.



When problems exists we should all see it as an opportunity to become a legend, like the freedom warriors Nelson Mandela, Dr Rev King Jnr and Jack Ma of China, who enable the lower class Chinese traders have access to the global world trade.

When you stand to fight what ever socioeconomic or political wars your country is facing we stand a chance at transcending the future of our Nation.

If Today Seun Osewa of Nairaland decides to fight for free education in Nigeria from primary to tertiary and patiently and innovatively maps out the plan to execute such an ideology, generations to come we sing him praises. (By the way am not referring to Awolowo's false free Education which we would discuss in a later article)

The concept of great nation makes great people is wrong its the other way around. Great People Make Great Nation.

Many of the things these greedy Nigerians want to enjoy like job opportunities and a better standard of living were fought by men, who challenged their society and won.
So why don't you stay here , pick a battle. Nigeria has so many wars to choose from. Choose any one and innovatively map out a strategy that doesn't warrant violence for executing you plan.

But the choice is yours. the life of an African American immigrant is not as rosy as an European American immigrant, you would probable find your self living like an asylum seeker fighting for your rights on a daily basis and joining crusades like Black lives matter and war against gun violence in black communities with the descendants of slaves, when neither your parents nor your grandparents were ever slaves.

We need good leaders that will add value to the country's identity.

InovativeCritic:

an African American immigrant

who are those?

sounds like an oxymoron, its either you're African American or descended from immigrants i think, not both.

of course I could be wrong.

op are you mainly referring to the term accidental Americans?

ie people who are American but have never lived or spent significant amounts of time in the US.

Thougheveryone is entitled to his or her opinion, I prefer living in any African country where I will hustle, school and have full assurance of making it in life eg Liberia, I will spend not less than 20k to come back home at any time.

or spend the rest of my life in Naija avoiding trouble and working to earn a living

I kinda agree with you, good leaders is what we lack but even if the youth were giving chance to rule they will milk this country dry more than those at the helms.

my hard thought
