You must be the stereotypical nazi hooligan that assassinated Abraham Lincoln and Brutally murdered John F Kennedy letting the KGB take the fall and ruthlessly vaporized 6million Jews. You must be the traitor that treacherously massacred more than 3000 helpless victims of September 11, 2001 (9/11) and fraudulently blamed Osama Bin Laden. You Racist 419 Wanker that has no respect for another Nation’s National Day, Take off this nonsense on Forbes. -Amat Victoria Kuram

I woke up this morning thinking about you Nigeria.Though am far away in a foreign land, but my dreams for u are still intact.In fact, thoughts of you have put tears on my eyes many times.Not because of the rotten mind of the corrupt leaders who are determined to bankrupt u for their personal pleasure without making positive impact.Not because of the unpleasant conditions ur average citizens go through leaving them with nothing; though it hurts.But, because I have a dream just like many other aspiring Nigerians do.We know u are a treasure, blessed wit many precious gems,We know on ur own u can provide food for the man who needs it to survive bcoz ur land is green.But the corrupt pressure u’ve endured had left u uninsured, and ur exposure has becom a torture to the common man on the street, not at ur leisure.Though the passion of ur people may have strainedThough the mission of ur leaders may have been stainedBut the vision of we that believe in you cannot be restrained, but will be attainedTomorow is built by those who put their dreams into action today.We put our dreams,passion,vision, action, and unction on the line, just like David wit 5 stonesand one sling brought victory to the Israelite, we will ensure that we change ur page wit God on stage as our sling.I see a time when ur economy will blossom without measureI see a time when nations will queue at your shore not to save u, but wanting to stay in u.I see a time when your communities, cities, possibility, integrity, honesty, loyalty, sincerity, productivity, mentality, originality, opportunity, simplicity, tenacity, unity and nationality will be the talk on the streets of the earth.I write with trinity…but my heart is overwhelmed in humilityIn just a little while, I will see you face to face. Love you Nigeria! Happy 51st independence day (Daniel O. Balogun)
