Black Power's Songs Of Eulogy.page 31.

A Million Times Nigerian 

"Am I not a Nigerian?"
"And so what?"
"If you see a Nigerian 
You should prostrate 
They have wonderful track records in the history of mankind."
"Do you know who am I too ?"
"Who are you?Are you not a black woman?
Don't you know we prostrate in Africa when you meet seniors or elders?"
"Who are you to say that I should prostrate?"
"I don't mind if you do because is part of our culture.Juniors of a generational difference or kids should be mandate prostrate to elders"
"And so what does that suppose to mean , slavery or what?"
"No is a sign of respect paying esteem , honor and dignity to much older venerable 
And that is the logic and you respect those older than you."
"So what is the benefit?"
"It has helped Yoruba alot given the fact they were the most peaceful tribe in all of Africa and that is why also they were the greatest marketers of western civilization and distribute round African countries."
"Uhmmmmm "
"See when the white folks they didn't take too much resistance ,though they did a bit but not too much like aba women riot was done by margaret ekpo our people in south south,pa Michael imoudu in the unionist struggle of the mid forties and Ransome kutis the pioneer human right family in Africa.They did it midly because they believed If somebody pass you he pass you . Don't struggle much with them.Learn from them and move one.So they mastered the education given to them and through their mission houses they spread schools round Africa.So they penetrated every where and through that giant strides they pioneered development every where in Africa not just black Africa and beyond to lead development in the 1.4billion black people worldwide"
"Wait a minute where did you get all this information from?"
"What do you mean?Don't you have access to the information in Africa on the net?"
"Mordern societies have come to realize what the country Nigeria actually did for the world civilization not just black Africa.If they do they will worship an average Nigerian especially my Yoruba folks.We did everything by laying foundation of western civilization not just black development in mordern society settings."
"Am confused in real sense of the world.Our media tell us.Do not go to  Africa that they eat people there . Terrorism and corruption and they bombarded folks with misinformation and here you re telling different.I will like visit you in Africa "
"Where exactly?"negotiation was begun.
"I will marry a Nigerian being a black woman "
"Then come to south west Nigeria I can see you re from that region."
"How did you know that?"
"DNA history is available and I did that two years ago when I first met you.Omashile meaning Michelle right?"
"Yeah yeah "
"I traced a couple of names including yours"
"Ok.So Nigeria has done a lot for the world?*
"To be frank is the most influential country behind the cradle and tradition of western civilization ".
"How?tell me.You re so fond of yourself and your people our people I must say."
"When are you visiting Nigeria?"
"A month time."
"I ll be away too at Beverly hills in two weeks ".So they departed.
Two weeks after he called her again and confirmed of the trip.
"Hello Mitchelle how are you doing?",as she picked the phone and answer "
Am fine and you too"
"Am okay but I just wanna found out about your trip to Nigeria.Are you still going?"
"Yes you re so much interesting.Let me shock you and guess what?"
"Am not good at guessing?"
"I booked for the two of ours "
"Oh my gosh you re so wonderful.i can't believe.Now you handle everything right?"
"Yeah we re still on it.Come over please."
"Give me tomorrow.i ll reach there in record time."
"Okay .am waiting "
