You clearly debunked the stereotype that all Nigerians are criminals. I sufffered such Stereotypes when I was in New York (1999-2000). I was then a Fulbright visiting Scholar at Columbia University. There were negative comments on Nigeria at seminars that I considered too general. Similarly I had to correct comments on Cuba which were pure falsehood. I studied World history at my A/Levels and did my project on Cuban. I had a good grasp of the political Economy of Cuba. <BR/>Glenn, I had hope that I will meet you in Kafanchan or my hometown Kagoro. I attended Kafanchan Secondary School. It is a pity that you will be leaving before my arrival in Nigeria.I will be hope for the Christmass. <BR/>I am proud of what you have done for my people. Our people have been captured and destroyed by political leaders. It is really a pity that Nigeria is such a rich country, yet our people a living in absolute poverty. <BR/>I will keep visiting this website. <BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Yohanna Kagoro Gandu<BR/>Rhodes University<BR/>South AfdricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573382596442861899.post-58628097844413834032008-11-04T05:46:00.000-08:002008-11-04T05:46:00.000-08:00I agree - a wonderful goodbye to such an amazing e...I agree - a wonderful goodbye to such an amazing experience.
