Sharing a travelogue on his Facebook page titled "NIGERIA, UNLIKE FRANCE A CUSTOMIZED COUNTRY" in which he attached beautiful pictures of his new world, the soon to be wedded young man painted the picture of a country experience completely different from that of his home country.
He revealed in the post that he had visited the new destination on the privilege of the foremost African monarch, the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II while on a special foreign mission to France.
"While struggling to get monies to feel fly and entertain guests coming for my forthcoming wedding ceremony scheduled to hold on Saturday; March 26, 2022, I was asked to submit documents as a part of the team of the Arole Oduduwa; Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi's team to a country in the American continent, so I did gladly to at least have my first ever international traveling experience" he narrated.
"It was at Nigeria's airport that you need to off your shoes, raised your hands up like that of a suspected armed robber and turn 360% in order to be checked in for your flight. I nearly wept when I was honourably checked into another man's country with the world 'Merci' after a seamless technological process which took only few minutes.
"Upon entry into Europe through France, I was made to see a world of ease, human development and capacity building. A world devoid of stress, abuse and what we call the Nigerian factor", he wrote.
He went on saying that it might take a while before Nigeria would ever attain this level of development as these countries have been to it long before they even made it to the shores of the African continent.
The only area, he noted, where the country and by extension, African continent have the most competitive advantage is the culture and tradition which he said can be used to earn the region some considerable amount of international exchange if well harnessed.
"Fellow Nigerians, it is a mere waste of time to think that Nigeria can attain the height of European countries in a day, because these nations have been modern and civilized over hundred of years before coming to Africa.
"You may not agree with me but I can show you that there are skyscrapers of over 200-year-old in Paris. So, I challenge you to show me the skyscraper in your hometown during such moment of yore. Let's leave argument and face front abeg".
"Dear Africans, the only thing that can freak these Europeans and other parts of the world is our culture and tradition because they don't have such. Any other thing, they have it in abundance.
"So I urge Nigerians and Africans to be serious with their future and take their culture seriously as it is the only thing that can bring international exchange to Africa.", the post read in part.
