He who fight & run away lives to fight another day. yees problem exist in migeria , as with other countries.
imagine a captain that jump ship because the ship is experiencing some problems. what type of a captain is that ? Ngerias is blessed with abaundant human resources- a growing population of over 170millions. with over 100million teephonel lines & growing.. budiness opportunities- at least each person in nigeria will eat one time daily , meaning poeple eat 170million times daily- job/business opportunity in food industry. communication industry with ove 100million lines is anothe big opportunity. so also are services / consumption industry. of course poor people exist in nigeria, china , india, brazil & other imagine economies. in the mist of these , naturally we have struggle for political power, taking many dimension, civil strifes , religious / ethnic violence.& political corruption However, overall, the country , Nigeria , will survive. Lets poeple living & sometimes critisingthe country come back home , together we build a united Nigeria ma salam |

Masha Allah sis.Aisha.It is indeed good to know that amidst all the uprising&instability,politically and otherwise,some things still manage to work.I do tell people that being in diaspora isn't meant for everyone&it sure doesn't mean one wants to remain aloof forever.Home is home,no matter what.at least for me.May Allah continue to pave way for your project,expand it further,farther &may you be rewarded for it in this life &the Next.

Where there is life, there is hope. Years back, I was desperate to leave Nigeria for greener pastures but now I wouldn't except for vacations or professional development.
A group of people decided to open a school even though they could afford to move elsewhere. This started a ripple effect and it is going beyond what they ever envisioned. I am hopeful inshaAllah this effort will spread and whatever trials we face we shall always be victorious.

Yes, I received the book yesterday and today have already read three chapters. I am totally fascinated already and I want to learn about the musical instruments mentioned. It touches my heart to read about Okonkwho's difficulty with beginning his yam farm, because my grandfather was a yam farmer in Louisiana. During the Great Depression here after the crash of the US stock market in 1929, this was the main food for my mother and her eight siblings. To this day I feel a certain reverence for the sweet potato, and I offer always a prayer of thanks when I begin to eat one, because this was the food that allowed my family to survive. Also, in my Qur'an studies just now I am very interested in the subject of anger and revenge, because it is a pertinent subject in politics now. How to operate best as humans while still achieving social justice is the biggest question facing Muslims today, and reading about how other cultures deal with these basic human problems helps me to understand and, inshallah, arrive at new ideas.

I have just finished reading this forum and I am so pleased to have found it. I am a graduate student in Islamic Studies/Christian/Muslim Relations, and I belong to a book group at our seminary. We have just discovered Nigerian writers!! I've ordered a book by Adiche, Things Fall Apart, and another one called Half A Yellow Sun by a woman writer. I am wondering what percentage (about) of the Nigerian population is Muslim, Christian or some other religion. I am always impressed about two things when I meet someone from Nigeria, the fluency in English and the beautiful teeth!! Such teeth are from a dream, I think! Also, the warmth and friendliness. I would also like to find out about Nigerian music,, because I believe that knowing a nation's music helps to understand their literature. I live in the USA, in Connecticut. From my window I see snow, woods, and many birds and tall trees. It is a beautiful day, alhumdulilah.
