Rather than showering applauds on this guy, let all NP rise up and do something similarly great or even better so that we can at least cleanse the battered image of nigeria in the outside world.

Its not enough congratulating him but we should all rather see this as a challenge to step up and strive for excellence in whatever we are doing
