\"Tope<\/a>HER <\/b>name is Temitope Labinjo-Ajayi, a United States based trained Accountant, Social Entrepreneur, ardent Community Activist, Philanthropist and politician whose sobriquet globally is ‘Mama Diaspora’ due to her unrepentant and passionate believe in ensuring Africa’s most populous black nation on earth-Nigeria receives unparalleled foreign investment drives from Nigerians in the Diaspora to build Nigerian economy. Her advocacy for Nigeria in United States and other continents of the world earned her an invite by the Permanent Mission of Nigeria to the United Nations where she served as Advisor on Global & Pan African Women Issues. Till date, she she became Nigeria’s foremost Amazon to have received ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ for the state of Arkansas & Maryland by the Governor and Mayor respectively. <\/span><\/p>\n

In view of this rare feat, among other accomplishments for Nigeria, a United States based leading media pressure group, Reporters Beyond Borders<\/i> has issued a communique to openly inform the present Nigerian administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari, the urgent need to appoint Mama Diaspora as Director-General of Nigerians in Diaspora due to high level of trust foreign investors repose in her and undiluted confidence Nigerians abroad have in her.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Marc Browen, President, Reporters Beyond Borders<\/i>, \u201cNigeria is on the threshold of being celebrated worldwide and this is the best platform for President Muhammadu Buhari to re-brand Nigeria’s image abroad more than ever before by appointing Temitope Ajayi (Mama Diaspora) as Director-General of the newly, National Assembly-passed Diaspora Commission bill. We know her: she is tested, reliable, dependable, visionary, hardworking, honest; disciplined, focused, passionate about Nigeria truly emerging Giant of Africa economically. She has global appeal among member nations of International Community, having served in several foreign portfolios in excellence. She is a major face recognized as part of the Nigeria Success Stories in Private Sector in Agriculture by the Corporate Council Africa and Embassy of Federal Republic of Nigeria in Washington District of Columbia. In short, she is a pride of Nigeria in the Diaspora.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Nigerian-American Press Association Endorses ‘Mama Diaspora’<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In similar way, rising from a-four hour marathon meeting in Houston, Texas, Board members and Directorates of Nigerian-American Press Association (NAPA)-the most famous media association of practicing Nigerian and American journalists in United States, issued a press statement showing their unflinching and unalloyed confidence in person of Mama Diaspora to be appointed by President Buhari as ‘new face of Nigerian Diaspora Commission Nigeria’. <\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Franklin, President, NAPA, explains: \u201cIn the life of any administration in the world, it is very rear you have such an opportunity of this huge dimension placed on your government table on a platter of gold. We are aware that Temitope Ajayi, popularly known as ‘Mama Diaspora’ is among the very few Nigerians championing advocacy for the country, with the aim of ‘giving-back’ to the nation. Posterity will be most kind to President Buhari for appointing this highly-respected woman as Director-General, Nigerian Diaspora Commission.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

For Chucks Okechuckwu, an Undergraduate of University of Texas, he says: \u201cOur Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari will earn his name into global Hall of Fame by appointing Mama Diaspora as the Director-General of the newly established Diaspora Commission in Nigeria. We know how many Nigerian students here have benefited endlessly from her advocacy as she has always been campaigning positively for Nigeria, which has attracted several foreign investors into the country. In short, International Community members are waiting to applaud Buhari for appointing this woman noted for her right attitude, dogged zeal, passionate desire in having a strong, economically-buoyant country by the time she takes the rein of office. She is ready to hit the ground running, without waste of time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Phillip Trimmel, President, African-American on Good Governance corroborate this view, when he said \u201cNigeria is very lucky to have a woman like Temitope Ajayi, a famous celebrity we know as ‘Mama Diaspora’. She is a woman of her word-living by her promises. We have seen her severally advocating for Nigerian populace here in United States on several issues in the last 40 years. She is foremost to have coordinated several meetings in America consistently which led to the recent passage of Diaspora Commission bill by 7th<\/sup> Nigerian parliamentarians. She deserves this position and we are ready to support her on this cause. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
