I was trying to make a presentation today and I gave the location of the project as Yenagoa and I describe the two major roads in the town. To my astonishment, one of the men interrupted me and asked me where Yenagoa is and if it is close to Makurdi. I would not have been surprised if the guy is someone from Sokoto or Borno but the guy is a Lagosian. A Yoruba Lagos guy. A graduate that heads a department in one of the bluechip companies in VI, Lagos. Honestly, not only was I pissed but felt I cant blame CNN for labeling Niger Republic as Nigeria. Thank God for NYSC. Many Nigerians really wouldnt have known anything or anywhere in their own country. This is a classic case of alangba eko or kifin rijiya. Another characteristic of Nigerias educated illiterates.
