The guy sent me his message to share. Read below...
My name is Akinmuda Oluwafemi, presently a 500level medical student of
the college of Medicine, university of lagos.
October 19 2007, at the age of 15, I alongside Mercy Richards,
Yetunde Brown and Henry Akahara represented Nigeria at the House of
Commons, London to participate in the world slavery youth debate. We
returned back to Nigeria with Gold medals.
An Evidence of good performance and representation of
the federal republic of Nigeria.
Only Henry Akahara was granted scholarship by the lagos state
government under the administration of Governor Raji fashola to study in
the UK... he claimed to have been the only one that went for the debate
and won the medal and the lagos state government without making further
investigations granted him.
I remember, the director of the British council called a meeting
with we all and our parents to be quiet that in due time we would be
called. Till now, nothing.
I'm just reminiscing, next year I would be a doctor, do I want to
serve this country?Does this country have anything to offer?
Even when you go the extra mile to represent and honour this country at
different levels and you still are not appreciated, I ask myself is it
worth it being a Nigerian? On second thoughts however, is it just the
PDP government that was so selfish and corrupt and won't recognise an
award for excellence from the highest level "The Queen of England
Herself" courtesy LORD John Prescott? Is it worth is being a Nigerian???
Google "kemishia Kelly" she was a participant, ever since
recognised by Jamaica as a participant. Even wikipedia recognises her.
All other people that participated in the debate today are recognised
for their excellence and hold strong posts in their various countries.
And here I am, just reminiscing.
I just want all Nigerians to read this, and think of it over and
over....
So in all I just want this to go public, and let all Nigerians
feel my pain, and lookout for this APC administration. Would they prove
me wrong about my feeling as a Nigerian? Do they appreciate excellence??
Time would tell...
