I was given a great visa, and I could have obtained US citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I say, I didn\u2019t want it, not because I don\u2019t like America.

It gives me a lot of grief wherever I go. You know, with family, my kids are probably asked to go right through, and I\u2019m asked to stay behind. They ask you all kinds of funny questions, where were you born, when do you hope to die? Or any kind of question, just to make sure that you don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I told this friend of mine that this part\u2014God did not make a mistake in making me a Nigerian. He didn\u2019t make a mistake in making me an African. I will live as a Nigerian, and I will walk by the special grace of God.
