AMAZING JUST SO YOU KNOW OIL RICH NIGERIA ENJOYS BRAIN GAIN!!!

Oil-rich Nigeria enjoys 'brain gain' The Associated Press Sunday, September 21, 2008 LAGOS, Nigeria: They speak in the clipped tones of the British upper class or the soft drawl of southern California. They boast degrees and work experience from elite overseas institutions. And now they're coming home. Nigerians who left their homeland to seek riches abroad are increasingly returning as Africa's biggest oil producer rides an energy bonanza that is opening up unprecedented opportunities. Abiola Lawal, 41, is part of this "brain gain."

"There are lots of 30- and 40-something-year-olds who are CEOs in this country, and that would never be in the States or the U.K. because the experience pool is much deeper there," said Lawal.
