This is a great presentation.

[@deborahosomo8160]

Wonderful presentation. We need our experienced and learned Nigerians who are all over the world making history not to forget where they come from and who they represent. We need our own influencers to speak up and encourage changes that we CAN enact. We need to be bold and fearless. :)
