Can you imagine what would happen when The Second generation Nigerians start getting married, having children, they probably wont marry Nigerians and they would know so little about Nigeria and from then on they are losing their heritage, tearing apart from Africa, joing African-Americans, becoming part of them, so what would happen to like the 3rd and 4th generations. This are ppl who could help Nigeria, but if they do not identify with the country how can they help. Nigeria populaion is decreasing, mother land losing its son and daughters and upcoming generations. Que lastima!!!! What a shame!!
