This isn't a very helpful comment. You are signaling that you know something important about him, and that I am stupid for not knowing what you're talking about, but that's about it. Please be more specific.

I saw your comment before reading the article and, I get it. There's a cynic in me too. However, after reading the article, I'm thinking, who cares? I'm a sucker for a story about potential, especially in the underdog, and the parts jumping out at me are all about the potential of the people in Nigeria.

How is that not what you wrote?
