Africans have a lot to learn from this victory. Only in America with less than a 15% black population can a black man be elected president. It shows the degree of civilization of the electorate. It's such a wonderful day to be black in America, and I am glad I voted and am alive to witness this. Think about this - with all the ethnic differences in Africa, can one dominant group unanimously elect a minority to lead them? Imagine a Hausa man from Kano married to an Urhobo woman, live in Delta State and winning the governorship election there. When do we look past our differences and work to make Nigeria great?

I am still not over the celebration of last night, and I am sure the excitement will linger for a long while, but I cannot stop thinking about my home country, Nigeria, and hope this helps to bring our people closer together and learn to see good in people who may be ethnically different from us.

Most people don't even know how or when he became a senator, yet they're suddenly crying for joy and quoting bible and quran and calling him African Moses?

and declaring tomorrow public holiday in Kenya, where they need to even work more hours to raise productivity, national income and prosperity rather than wait for white people's aid.
when we wan grow up sef away from this na-my-tribesman type of politics?
