must read--Welcome to Nigeria, Welcome to Africa, Pres. Bush

This is fabulous, an ironic letter of welcome to Bush by an African man living in New York, Paul Adujie. This appeared in Liberal Spin Doctors but I was disappointed to see today that it is gone from that site.

Welcome to Nigeria! Welcome to Africa!! President Bush

Nigerians, Africans and indeed, all peoples of African descent in America and elsewhere, are delighted and immensely pleased, that you are visiting our continent!

We appreciate with profound and keen interest, your foray into Africa and we will be watching, as you embark on this all-important visit to our continent. . . .

Mr. President, as you are probably already aware, Nigeria has a large economy, it is very large and diverse indeed! There many American Companies that are already benefiting from their being engaged and involved in these great opportunities, for the mutual benefits of Americans and Nigerians, the Nigerian economy is replete with limitless and bountiful opportunities for the very experienced American individuals and Corporations with their world-renowned can do attitude!

American Companies are presently, primarily engaged in Nigeria's extensive and vibrant petroleum exploration and exploitation sector, and such great American Companies, as, Exxon-Mobil, Texaco, Chevron, Halliburton just to mention a few of them, currently participate actively and effectively in Nigeria, hence Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of the energy needs to the industrial base and the engine-room of the very versatile and resilient American economy.

However, there are other multifarious sectors or other areas of the Nigerian economy with open arms and invitation to great American Companies\Corporations and individuals involvements and participation in, areas such as, Agricultural Sector relating to food production and distribution, Automobile and the Transportation Sub-sector etc; Additionally, American Companies can derive enormous benefits from participation in the Construction sector . . .

Nigeria, unlike Vietnam has never fought any wars with America! And yet Vietnam war led to the unfortunate untimely death of more than 53,000 American troops/service persons, and yet, Vietnam manage to have better trade relations with America compared with any African Countries!

North Korea that is at odds with the United States over its nuclear weapon acquisition and sale ambitions, managed to have received more help and all manners of US aid from the US, during the last 10 years compared with Nigeria! Why should those in the axis of evil manage to get more US help favorable attention, than say Nigeria, a friendly nation? . . .
