This short but interesting story is just a reminder that we live in a small world as a Nigerian man thanks an American woman for a favour she did 32 years ago.
According to the United State Dept, in 1984 Assistant Secretary, Linda Thomas-Greenfield was serving as a Consular Officer in Lagos, Nigeria, when an artist named Tunde Odunlade came to her window seeking a visa to the United States.
Thirty-two years later in Washington, DC, Mr. Odunlade recognized the Assistant Secretary when they were both panelists for a discussion on the Chibok girls in America.
He recently visited her at the U.S. Department of State and he brought along some of his artwork. He also thanked her for approving his visa over three decades ago.
