I know 2 people personally from this country and they are very friendly and sweet people...... (Both Males)
I just get a very warm feeling about it........... I was just wondering also .. How old the king is now in Nigeria? -- Anyone know?
I havent talked to 1 of my friends in along time.... (Simon) He has a laywer practice thats all i know....I would love finding him,I love him so much!! (I talk to my other friend Babatundae alot )
Anyone here ever visited Nigeria or do we have any members from here??
I'm from Nigeria. about a king, the country of Nigeria has dozens of "kings" likely "hundreds" of them to be honest. Each ethnic group and sometimes each Tribe has a King and most of these figures have limited political power although their words may hold power depending on certain controversies.
Im Nigerian ( 2nd generation american ) been to Nigeria 4 times , twice with family twice by myself . The country has tons of potential especially places like Abuja/Lagos/Calabar but imo too much corruption in leadership , too many distractions holds , too much old beefs between the states hold country back. The country has tons of resources , goods , culture , cuisine , a pretty successful music/film industry.
I was there in the 70s, when things were I guess about as bad as they can get. Landed in Lagos, spent a few days in the city, then the 50 mile bus trip out to Benin.
It was almost impossible to get around. It was an all-day drive from the center to the airport and back, and no working telephones at the airport. Electricity off more than on. Corruption was shrill.
But I actually liked it, I list it as one my favorite African cities. The people were stoically relaxed, always pleasant and never pushy. I never felt threatened in any way. Most people survived in their own little neighborhood, almost like Lagos was a thousand villages, each one self contained. Somehow there was enough food, no idea how it got transported or distributed. I didn't have strong sense of poverty, altghough my little hotel neighborhood looked pretty anonymous and ordinary.
Id like to go back to Nigeria, it seems to be in my comfort zone, and Im not afraid of it.

Don't know much about Nigeria or Nigerians, but the ones in America appear to very highly educated and hard working.
Yep. I knew a couple of them in graduate school, brilliant guys.
They despaired about the complicated politics of their homeland, and predicted accurately that a president who got elected at the time would soon be deposed in a coup.
