Comments for Out of Africa http://theafricanimmigrant.wordpress.com Issues and news for the African Diaspora Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:53:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Rethinking this blog by Kevin Idehen http://theafricanimmigrant.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/rethinking-this-blog/#comment-4 Kevin Idehen Sat, 19 Apr 2008 15:53:29 +0000 http://theafricanimmigrant.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-4 It gives me a lot of hope when I see blogs like yours addressing important issues concerning Africa and it's huge diaspora. I was born in the UK but spent the best years of my life in Nigeria (primary school - university). I am emotionally and spiritually connected to the continent because of those years spent at home. The big question is will our children have that same attachment, if they don't spend part of their formative years living in Africa, as going back for holidays once in 4 years will not cut it. I am currently studying for an MBA and my dissertation topic is "Reversing Africa's Brain Drain, motivational factors that will attract the professional diaspora back home, Nigerians in the UK as a Case Study" I'll be keeping in touch.
