When last were you in Nigeria?

I last visited Nigeria in April 1987. I will love to return again when I receive an invitation from Nigerian institutions or organizations.

Do you have any plans to become an American citizen? Or do you intend some day to return to Nigeria?

Where I live is not as important as what I do. I will always be of Nigerian heritage and have an obligation to contribute to the progress of the Nigerian people.
