I just finished reading your book 'Why African Americans Fear Doing Buisiness In Nigeria' and by the time i was half way through i was literally at the point of tears.What really got to me was not the bold prints,although i would conceed that those helped a great deal in making for an interesting read.However,what did it for me is the sincere and accurate way the story is told.Mr Walker,i must say at this point that i have no illusions about the challenges facing my country,but that not withstanding, the picture that has been painted of Nigeria in the Western media has been misleading and totally unfair.As a Nigerian, when i try to tell my facebook buddies about the real Nigeria, they all look at me as one not being in touch with reality.And that is why i am so thankful for the work you have done and is still doing,at least you as an unbiased umpire would get it accross to the world that there are still decent and hardworking people in Nigeria. Sir,just like you i have a passion for making a difference and being a problem solver.As such if there is one dream i wish would come true for me,it is the wish that one day,maybe one day, i would get to meet you in person and that,to me, is adream worth having.
