 For the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to have called on Nigerians in Diaspora to extend their helping hands to the development of Nigeria, he must have seen something that they have which would be gainful to Nigeria if heartily released. For any Nigerian Academician or Professional in Diaspora to have heard this call and fail to react wouldn’t be in our best interest. A popular primary school poem in Nigeria goes thus: “Johmbule my son, I sent you to school, to learn how to spell your name”. Any Nigerian academician or professional in Diaspora I believe has gone to acquire wider knowledge. For such a person to ignore a call for him/her to put his/her knowledge into practice for his/her father land would be like Johmbule asking his father to help him spell his name after his father has sent him to school to learn just that.
