When you were 40, I said a fool at 40 is a fool forever, but now, 7 years later, I take those words back!

Motherland, you are no longer a fool! You are seeing the light little by little! So much so, that you are drawing your children back home!

Gone are the days when your children had no plans to make it home to your bossom.

Now your young, your beautiful, your talented, your educated, your handsome, your gifted, your rich, your poor, your enterprenuer, your student.........are all seeking your shores again!

When would anyone have imagined that one of your under 30s would pack up his business here, leave his million dollar home, sell off his porsche cayenne, his 7-series BMW, his E-55, just to open an office in your capital Abuja?!! Hah! I have seen those that returned to your sands because they were tired of living on paychecks here, but to see your prosperous heading home is a wonder!! That simply means HOME IT IS!!

Even an African-American Pastor just today said he has started building a house in Lagos!!! Hah!!

Everywhere one turns, your children are identifying with you! Even those that have never set foot on you by virtue of being born in the Diaspora are all identifying with 9ja! haba! "I REP NAIJA" they call it! I have lost count of groups on Facebook all identifying with Nigeria. I have lost count of shows and events been done in your honor!! Even by those that cant even speak any of your 287 languages! .

In conversations, everyone talks about moving back to Naija finally! No one says they will only move back when they win the lottery!!

And even family members are begging their children in the diaspora to return home!!

Educational degrees attained in the Diaspora are having values once again!

I love you Motherland and I am glad I am among those that are moving back to your shores again! I am glad that I will once again live where I dont have to worry about bills bills bills!

Oh Nigeria, all of a sudden you are now a pride to her citizens abroad!


Happy 47th Birthday Nigeria. I love you and I hunger for your mosquito bites and the Boli and Ekpa at the junction where I can buy me oranges that were not grown with chemicals and pesticides. Where I can eat farm-grown and natural foods with no preservatives!

Happy Bday to the giant that just started to wake up after 47years of deep slumber.GOD would see you through your mission to actual greatness.
Home is calling folks.Lets join hands to salvage it together

Happy birthday to my beloved country Nigeria!

Though I haven't lived in you for over 20 years, but like many good, honest Nigerians in the diaspora, I have played and will continue to play, my part in making you great and proud.

And I wholeheartedly echo this uncle Ebenezer Obey's song: #'No place be like my country...NO..NO ..NO.....'#

Happy 47th Independence Anniversary to all Nigerians.
May your country take its rightful place as the true giant of Africa.
Happy Birthday.
