There is no place like home

My dear brothers and sisters around the world, welcome home. I know that some day in the near future (in 2009), we will all go home together, united by our quest to heal our nation. We will stand before our Government as one body and peacefully relay to them our plan to transform our country with a true democracy.

We are scattered all over the world, learning about the world, different cultures and different ways for a nation to succeed. We are the children of Nigeria that have been enlightened by our ability to adapt to different situations despite our origins. It is only right, that we bring all our minds together to change our country for our benefit and that of the future generations.

I know that many of you have sent money home to help others, but it is never enough. The more you send, the more calls you get for more. We need to send more than just a few dollars, pounds, euros or liras. We need to send a message that will send an outcry for reform through out the country.

Countries like China have many global corporations in their country creating jobs for their people. Electric city is a place in India where global companies that originated from highly industrialized nations provide jobs for people. Their economies are growing so fast that Americans and citizens of other developed countries invest their hard earned money in their markets. In order to be like this or even better we need to prove to the world that they can trust us to do good honest business with them.

In America today, the people nominated a black man, whose father is from Kenya to run for the presidency. This had nothing to do with his age, lineage, religion or skin color, but everything to do with who he is, what he stands for and how well he holds himself accountable to his personal values. We need to stop discriminating our fellow Nigerians and focus our energies on positive things like making our country better.

Are you ready to stand up for Nigeria our motherland?
