A novice as Orji Uzor Kalu cannot afford to say that he is overtly sure of his ability to win the presidency come 2007. Despite the fact that he appears to be the only Igbo presidential aspirant at the moment (forget the comical show of one Chief Muscle), one knows that even with the pulling together of all Igbo votes, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu cannot see the presidency…
Our leaders have poor judgment and make bad decisions: they go around the world with their heads bowed currying favors; they go from one corner of the world to the other, with cap in hand, begging for financial crumbs.

When I left to visit Nigeria, I had only been in America ten years and so I hadn’t acquired the accent expected of a Nigerian-American.
