Well, maybe we'll get to a stage whereby Naija will become completely culturally colonised by the Western world, Arab world, our AfroAmerican and AfroCarribean cousins, the Chinese, Indians and whoever else Naijas choose to adopt as their role models, mentors and masters. Too bad!
I know that but the rate Nigerians are immigrating is way way higher than in those days, morever most Nigerians that came here in the 1960s still went back home and even sent their children back home to know the culture b4 coming back here.
