Good People, I received my first ever “censor” from LinkedIn today; they removed my comment. Someone wrote offensively about Africa, and I responded to him. Nothing personal but from history. I do not like to make people feel bad but after seeing that the person had edited his original comment, I feel that I need to put this comment. Just for the records, I have put my original comment here.
I appreciate everyone coming to this feed and certainly will not like to make people feel bad. Yet, respect is reciprocal. You may not see Nigeria (or Africa) as a respectable country (or continent) but Nigeria is AMAZING to me because as I have noted, there is nothing a nation can give a young man that Nigeria did not offer me.
I attended college on scholarships, received job offers months to graduation, etc, and I am not sure I can ask for more. Yet, I do desire that EVERYONE will have the same testimony.

This is Sunday; we will show civility here. Every continent has its own challenges and as the Igbo Nation will say, there is no need waking up a sleeping leopard if you want to remain in the forest. Africa has issues. Europe has issues. Do not throw African issues daily at me if you do not want me to remind you of your continent’s history.
Let’s show respect here and that has to begin with me. Typically when I notice that someone has edited a comment which triggered a tough response, I will follow.

They don’t know how much of them we know, I blame our current leaders doing same mistake our grand fathers did by letting them in and distorting our progress and process.
