I've fixed it now. :) About your earlier comment: I'm not sure how you got that from my writeup, especially since my family actually didn't go home for the deaths in my family; it's just that while we were there in '94, seven years after my granddad's passing, my dad and his siblings decided to have a sort of tribute ceremony for him. It wasn't why we were there, but it is the thing from my last trip to Nigeria that I remember most vividly if we're talking about my father's side of the family. Anyway, I've added a little edit to the entry to explain the point I was trying to make so hopefully that helps! Thanks for the correction, Nick. I've fixed it now. :)

Correct it please. Thanks. Just to add; this week poll question should be "… been in Nigeria" and not Nigerian. Correct it please. Thanks.

It is nice you still remember your root. Although you made your rightup sound like what inevitable brings Nigeria in the disporia home is only the death of family members...

When you live far away, you sometimes think that your relatives think that since you're not there, you don't care as much, or are not as strongly affected. So what I meant is it will be nice for them to see that we are affected, even though we're distant (talking more about my sister and I than my parents). <strong>@sherri</strong> She's great! I can't wait to see her :) And thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes. <strong> @Femi B</strong> Eh ya...pele, Femi. @Nolimit
