Welcome to Nigeria-African multicultural country
Hakim Orajwon
Do you know- Born in Nigeria, Akiel Abdul Olajuwon is “the second best player in the world” in the words of George Carl, former coach of the American men ’s national team. Like Sade [singer] and Wole Soyinka [1986 Nobel Prize], Olajuwon is a Nigerian idol. He once did not like saying "This Lagos" [former capital of Nigeria] after showing only that TV is bad. There is certainly a bad thing, but Lagos has a lot of things people enjoy in the US, such as designer clothes, large buildings, and videos. I can't show it on TV and I'm sick of trying to explain it.
