Thanks for the video, although the backing track was unnecessary. I like what the dude said about cleaning up Nigeria's image abroad (USA I believe he said)- that's very important. The simple reality is that the average Nigerian (both abroad and home) is unprincipled, greedy, dishonest and a whole host of other unpleasant things.....we need to be the change we seek. GEJ isn't the one travelling with fake passports. OBJ isn't the one in internet cafes sending 419 emails nightly.
