To many it means nothing however attending the Vice Presidential dinner final evening could possibly be the start of the remainder of my life on a enterprise stage. My connection to Nigeria isn’t by the use of origin it’s by spirit and power. The music of Fela, Tiwa, Wizkid, Davido and plenty of others made me stumble throughout Nigerian music, fall head over heels in love with it and ever since I’ve by no means turned again.

I really like the steadiness between work and play whereas in America all you do is figure work work. I really like the style, the movies, the … let me cease right here I don’t need this turning into one thing else ?. If in case you have a mind and enter this nation with drive and targeted you may make nice issues occur and “leave your footprint in the sand”.
