Africa: 50 Influential People You Wouldn’t Believe Are Nigerians
When a non-Nigerian or foreigner hears of the country ‘Nigeria’ – I guess the 1st thing that comes to mind are all the negative things that has been said about the country in the media (especially foreign media – Duh its a no brainer that it would be them) or what they have read so far Online.
A friend told me his classmates at Harvard kept asking if it’s true that their are lions and zebras walking on the streets and major highways in Nigeria, So i asked him what was his reply to them, he said and I quote“The movie ‘The gods must be crazy’ is kinda mis-educating you all, seriously Africa is way more develop than what you see on all the Project save Africa mini-documentary on TV” well i wasn’t impressed with his answer though! but i’m sure he made his point clear cause I would have asked if they think Africa is one big animal reservation because that’s what you see on discovery channel, in fact does the word “Zoo” ring a bell? (oh, well that is just me).
Every country has it’s ups and downs and Nigeria is certainly not excluded from it but what we all fail to see is that their is beauty in every country.
Anyways i got fired up and decided to share with you the story of beautiful Nigerians outside of Nige
