Sponsor: CSU Program Board
Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Time: 7 p.m.
Place: Hixon Lied Auditorium in the Harper Center 2nd Floor
CSU will be showing a documentary on the Listening Project where a group of Americans traveled the globe, listening to people share their views on how the U.S. has impacted their lives. There will be a discussion afterwards with a panel consisting of CU professors, international students and students who have studied abroad. International students, Yemi Osinkolu from Nigeria and Liutauras Gudzinskas from Lithuania will be on the panel. Please come to support them!

It has in a very huge manner. May the good God Lord bless the USA indeed.

I Now carry a gun thanks tothe U>S some times i think i am a gangster/love-vendor due to rap music i listen to.

Mention how, you're thanking God. Mention one real impact the USA has impacted your life. Or maybe they really have not. It's all about perception.


The USA has impacted my life by going to war in Iraq, the made the price of crude oil go up and the GDP per capita of the average Nigerian rose to above $2,000.

They have also impacted my life through E! That's the craziest channel in the world, and it has helped my research in discovering that human beings really evolved from wild animals not too long ago.

Yeah. They have also improved my sex life. The volume of pornographic movies that have been churned out from the USA has given me a wide scope of what to do in bed.

The USA reduced the spate of violent crimes in my vicinity by having enough citizens who paid criminals money for one advance fee fraud or the other.

Er, am I forgetting anything? Aha! How could I forget? The internet! The USA has impacted my life by allowing the whole world access what was once their private ARPANET and today I can chat with you and exchange ideas easily without even needing to know you.

I think that's all. I don't feel like mentioning the negative impact the USA has had on my life.

If that is because you are in America, then I wonder what the agbero boys of lagos who listen to rap and carry guns will say.  

@Poster, I owe america for the many opportunities given me. I only wish Nigerians could be privy to this level of care in our own country.
