Where do I start

It's our country, our home!!!

Surpriseeeeeeeee....I am back! You guys really believed I'd go back to the store to steal a bar of snickers? shame on y'alllllll...I must confess though I seriously considered speaking to the store manager about my missing snicker bar... hmmph!

So how have y'all been? I've been freshhhhhhhhh...kinda frustrated with folks back home...I've been negotiating a move back and these people are offering me some useless pay package...by the time I pay rent, buy suya, pepper chicken, toast Amina, Zainab and Kafilat, I'd be broke.... So I've been doing shakara for them and I guess they got tired as well and decided to do their own shakara ..So at present we are waiting to see who will budge first...lol...Jokes apart...this is frustrating and really upsetting...these people will never offer an oyinbo man the crap they are offering me...It's sad how we look upon ourselves as being inferior to the oyinbos... They make the ridiculous argument that one has to understand that these people are leaving their home countries to work in a foreign land...who forced them? is it by force to hire them? We have able and qualified Nigerians at home and abroad, capable of doing the work these so called expatriates do..so why not pay our people their worth? Arrrrrgggggggggggggggggg!!!

Sorry guys but I think its about time we reclaim our country... I am tired of playing second class in their country and then returning to mine to continue in the same position...Enough is enough....Uzobu Uzobu enyinba eyin..Uzobu, eyinba, (sing along with me!!!)...Okay so I am done sparking...lol...Like most Nigerians this is where it ends....we spark, spark, spark but no action.. We are like the woman Fela referred to in his song "Shakara"...I go slap you...na shakara... I go kick you...na shakara! All screams no bite! A number of people have set up organizations, targeted at bringing young professionals in the diaspora back home but it's funny how after a couple of meetings, those organizations rather than focusing on the mission they started off with, become hook up spots (I am not complaining ooo ...I support any organization that can bring together my beautiful naija babes...cause I need all the help I can get in finding my naija wife) but seriously though... I think it's time for a change... I've been trying to think up what to do and how to go about drumming up support and ideas... Any suggestion is welcomed...Nigeria na our own make we make am better!

Anyway I am off! Just needed to vent...

    First...yippee,

    Oh well...yeah, we need to reclaim Nigeria. It's not right being second class in our own country. But many Nigerians have overcome this, and I trust that you will...just wait for the right time. When God says "make that move," then it's time to make the move...

    Don't step out without God though...

    I so concur with Jaycee - when the time is right, the Lord will give you a nudge..

    meanwhile that song should be Nzobu -- I think, because Uzobu makes no sense in ibo..lol..

    meanwhile, you've been hiding gist from me, why now.. wetin I do..

    meanwhile what else have you been up to, did you investigate my theory that the snickers bar may have been eaten by you..lol..

    Stay blessed and highly favoured.
