Interesting Read! Which Way Nigeria?
Tweet
Interesting! I found this article on a friend’s status on Facebook and was completely overwhelmed by the story and the manner in which the author poured out his mind while speaking wisely to today’s youth, mum, dad and Nigerian! I would never have forgiven myself if I hadn’t shared it. The author is completely unknown to me but I choose to address him as “a truly concerned and worthy Nigerian.” The text below was said to have been addressed to all parents, but it’s a worthy read for ALL. Now lay-back and read this long but stirring piece from a truly concerned and worthy Nigerian. Hope you share it with all the parents and young people you know.
