As Americans celebrate their nation's independence today July 4, one of the questions begging for answers is "How real is the American dream?". You may want to ask, if this question is relevant to the American people or not. My answer is yes, it is. It may shock you to know that an average American has his own problems facing him.These include unemployment, clamour for better access to health care and social security, terrorism, increase in crime rate among others.
It is absolutely true that there is no basis for comparison between Nigeria and America, yet as an outsider, I can categorically state that America has got to prove their critics wrong, that they remain a force to reckon with in the committee of world nations.
Other issues begging for answers are the immigration policy, same sex marriage and America's debt, especially the $1.250 trillion owed to China.
Nevertheless, without any iota of doubt, America has positively impacted on the affairs of the world through its numerous development programmes and projects to the poor nations of the world. Also, it has always been at the fore of the struggle to democratize the world. However, America remains one of the greatest nations of the world that Nigeria as a nation and our leaders should learn from.
Wishing all Americans Happy Independence day!
