I'm Proud to be a Nigerian

I was driving to work in a busy New York morning when this sticker on the back windshield of a car in front caught my attention.  It was very legible, in bold prints on green background and it read: I'm a proud Nigerian.

The car was an old Japanese model, perhaps, a testimony to the owner's struggles in God's own country.  Perhaps also, it is just a modest reminder that "some day we shall return."

When i drove past the car, I honked in comradeship and looked back on my rear view mirror to catch a glimpse of the young man behind those wheels.  For one moment, I felt a little proud that there is at least one Nigerian out here who feels great about motherland.  Kudos to him for voicing it out in his little way.
