USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE:STAR LIST: Empowered Newswire's Top 50 US/Canada-Based Nigerians

Dr Stella Nwokeji:
I am sure there are more deserving Nigerians in North America for the Empowered Newswire's 50 US/Canada-based Nigerian Diasporans. Of course, I know personally that if Empowered Newswire was listing the richest, smartest, powerful, perfect, connected and popular/famous Nigerians, I wont qualify or make the list. My sense is that, among other considerations, Empowered Newswire was listing Nigerians who are sensitive to Nigeian issues, who remain engaged on Nigerian issues despite the frustrations and disappointments they have suffered, who try to do their best in their careers/professors at whatever level they are, and Nigerians who believe there is FUTURE for the nation called Nigeria. Daalu and take care. Joe Igietseme
