She makes me remember my nephew who is also an Architect. It’s great that we have people like her changing the face of Africa coastline.

I love this video. I too believe that we have it in Africa. Sometimes I think of the fact that these other countries that we migrate to, those are actually people's native land and they built their heritage, culture and everything. So why don't we build ours to have people come in too ? I am not trying to be a hypocrite, I would also love to travel as I have never left Nigeria before to experience other places and all, but I feel we really need to build Africa, Nigeria we have a lot of resources, may be our one issues is no one wants to come and suffer, like start from the scratch to build something, so we migrate to places were all these are already provided, we overlook what we could turn our own into with proper management.
