"A prophet is honoured everywhere save in his home town". Were this steps taken by fellow nigerians to preserve the endangered species nobody would have acknowledged them mostly if they are from a tribe different from the background on which this faune and flora are found. This said, from the bottom of my heart I thank this couple for their tremendous undertaking and the enlightenment they've brought to the nigerians of different generations. When they will be retired who will succeed them? Shall it not become like the story they've mentioned here about our traditional medicine which6is almost extinct.

“I will tell you what I like about Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nigerians, that’s what makes Nigeria different from every other country in Africa, and I have travelled quite widely across the continent”. That comment alone says EVERYTHING, but I think we are beginning to loose it as a people. Social media did more harm than good, and personally I think it should BANNED or seriously REGULATED. Our Governors have too much leverage, we should START holding our Governors accountable as they get away with too much criminality. Btw I strongly believe we will retrace our steps, and get it right eventually, one step at a time.

Our local entertainment industry also contributed to the mess by copying non-African contents and promoting the same. Just look at our music back in the days of Osadebe, Ebenezer Obey, Rex Lawson, Orlando Owoh, etc. What we have nowadays are a complete hogwash! It is really sad to realize how things have gone from livable conditions to the quagmire in which we find ourselves today. Unfortunately, the good old days may never return. Growing up in the early 80s, my town was surrounded by lush forests and it was common to see leaves 🍁 on the streets after a heavy rainstorm. But it wasn’t very long that I also became accustomed to the constant sound of chainsaws as people started cutting the trees for timber. African maple, Iroko and other natural tree populations were wiped off in less than a decade and the entire landscape today is left bare.

We've adopted the worst parts of my culture...and we're throwing up the best parts of Nigeria's culture." Then he followed that statement up with an excellent example! What he said sums everything up for me! This is happening not only in Nigeria but also in other African countries.

Finally! Coincidentally, I have thought about this couple in recent times. I met them in 2007 when I did my school research on tourism in Nigeria. It's so good to see them and know they are doing well. I've not been to Calabar in ages, but I pray for a chance to see them again when I visit.

We’ve never had leaders that lead by example in Nigeria and by extension everyone else act likewise. I’d like to thank them for their service and impact they are making in Nigeria and the world. They are such a lovely people loved them!

Okay so I did my NYSC at Afi Barracks in 2004/2005 and I'm surprised she mentioned Afi as one of their sites, I never knew something like that was there close to me then. I wish they'll be on the comments here to respond to some of our questions on conservation. It's sad that after Liyel Imoke the Governors stopped showing any concerns about this project. I wish the FG will give them a listening ear so they can give great advise on enhancing conversation in Nigeria. One example that brings so much pains to me is the condition of the Lame game Reserve in Bauchi State which has been poached to bear cos no government as far back as I can remember even from the mid 80s showed any concern about it, A few of the Governors have invested in Yankari Game Reserve and a little in Tunu Game Reserve but never ever Lame Game Reserve. It's still on the Maps but in reality nothing. And I'm very sure if Liza Gadsby & Peter Jenkins had not adopted this project personally it would have been wiped out a long time ago. I have so much to say men!

Great interview with two amazing people ❤ Nigeria needs more patriotism. People only protect and preserve what they value. This video could perfectly be used in schools to start a discussion with the youth about the importance and beauty of this country. Let's change the mindset that everything "abroad" is better. Because that's a lie.

The interviewer’s question about leadership reflects a common Nigerian mindset that contributes to many of the country’s issues. Many believe leadership is about power & giving orders, so everyone wants to be in charge. Additionally, there’s a tendency to blame all problems on leadership, overlooking the fact that bad leaders come from the people themselves. To truly solve Nigeria’s problems with leadership & governance, we need to address the root causes at source. Virtually, everybody is on the take. At Enugu, a civil servant demand £10k bribe with impunity before he could search for my NIN. Imagine!
