There are amazing people all over the world. Unfortunately, not all have the chance to be borne in a country where all their native skills are appreciated... and this is just so sad!

And it is not (only) the Governments task to make sure they get a fair chance in life, we ALL need to step up and change our self.

Also, the way the world is setup now, its is also very, very tough for a Nigerian (or any other less-powerful nation) to succeed (in a world dominated by the economic power of USA/Europe) and be world known for his/her abilities: I can only imagine what kind of determination Mark Essien had...

Cheers,
