@Andy, welcome too! I ain't from Penn as you know, but since it a cyberworld, let's say I'm from VirtualPenn. But then, I'm Nigeria, way across the Atlantic and if distance be no barrier, we could be friends. So, since you seem new on the board, pray, tell what's your story?
Any Naija Guy On Board?

Isn't His Excellency also from Nigeria?

@jgnat, no I think His Excellency's description of place does not exactly fit Nigeria. And besides, he seems fake to me, can't put a tab on why, but he doesn't come off with his story, and Hausa, Bantu and Itsekiri are spoken by tribes separated by long distances and even countries!
Now, patriotism or nationalism aside, these is definitely not Nigeria:
I am from a small village in a destitute and war ravaged African country, 80 percent of people in my town live on less than 50cent in a day and myself included, no roads, no hospital, no public institution, no social welfare support, no national security institutiion, nothing, just tribal factions exchanging agricultural produce
Maybe some other African country, they may not be as well runned as those of the more developed countries, but no, Nigeria has got those things I highlighted even in many remote villages, and we ain't war ravaged, our major headache is religion-fueled terrorism, and of course, corruption. And 18 months and those grammar, guy would qualify and take first place in a Gilead school language crash course! But thanks anyways.

@SBF, LOL. Naija ninja! Now we do have a joke over here that: If Lagbaja (a very popular musician who's trademark is that he always wears a hooded mask on stage) marries an alhaja (lady with a full face hijab covering), would they give birth to a baby ninja?! Notice the rhyming 'ja' and come to think of it, it also rhymes with Naija!! Naija for life!!!
