AN OPEN LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS. Dear All.  I wish to start by adding the benefit of my time as a Student, and was a resident in the United Kingdom, but residing in Abuja now.  The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did Holiday or weekend jobs to support themselves – including the Children of Millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there – regardless of how wealthy their Parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign Students did the same – except status-conscious Nigerians.  I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airlines) speaking on the Biography Channel.

A quick survey would show you that only Children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studi...

TO ALL PARENTS  Please let us tell our kids to be careful and encourage them to always talk to us about anything at all! My daughter was approached by a guy yesterday. He told her he wants her to model the wears and wigs he sells. They exchanged numbers and she called me immediately to inform me. I asked for the guy's number and I called him immediately. He sounded like a responsible young man and I told him to text the date time and venue to me. This morning at about 7:30am, he sent a text with the address (59, Benson street Surulere) and asked her to get there for 10am. He also called me to let me know he has sent her the details. I said okay. My daughter got dressed and I did the same. We arrived at Benson street at 9:45am and found out that the last house on that street is number 57!. She called him to let him know we can't find number 59 and he said the numbers are kinda scattered. She said No, that the houses are are well numbered.  He said he will come and g...
