Photos: Meet Nigeria’s First “White Corper”

Some might say there is nothing fabntastic about it; then they might even go on and explain how it could be possible to have a white man participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, and they would be right!

Well, he is, of course, a Nigerian – a white Nigerian, and his name is Mohammed Jammal.

Profiled by a blogger, Kayode Ogundamisi, this “white Nigerian” says “Nigeria is the only country I know. It is my homeland and with all its challenges it is a place that will make substantial progress if we all decide to commit ourselves to his betterment.”

  1. Its an african thing, we feel inferior and appreciate the whites more than our black bothers. If a white coach is incharge of our national teams, the boys pay absolute attention to details, but give it to a black man and see what happens. lets face it, it is in us we respect whites, period. This guy i believe is a Nigerian, but is more respected than even his more brilliant coursemates, every body will wants to be his friend even lecturers will be making references to him because of the skin. It’s in us, we can’t help it.
