The mind goes into \u2018idle\u2019 mode, blanketed by the innumerable moving parts of life. Scanning through my mind for the \u2018bigger\u2019 stories often obscures the smaller and, sometimes, more significant ones that could turn the tide of events and even history.\u00a0  That was my situation yesterday.\u00a0  The biggest news in the world was of Mr. Donald Trump returning as the 47th President of the United States of America.\u00a0  Even in my little village it was the subject of some conversation. One would rightly ask: \u2018what has Donald Trump got to do with the price of fish at the Wasimi weekly market?\u2019. Plenty, as it turned out later.\u00a0  For 17 years, I have been running a specialized sports secondary school located in Wasimi.\u00a0  Before Mr. Trump\u2019s first coming in 2016, my school was preparing, processing and sending a minimum of 4 of the best 20 student athletes that graduated every year, to Colleges and Universities in the USA. These USA institutions had interest to recruit exceptionally gifted young and qualified Nigerian student athletes and offered them scholarships. It was a process that was running smoothly until Donald Trump became President for the first time.\u00a0  With Trump in power the conditions for transiting to the USA became more challenging, and more difficult than the proverbial camel passing through the eye of a needle.\u00a0  In the 4 years since his exit from office till now, the immigration has improved only ever slightly. It is still a trickle that may now be truncated by Trump\u2019s anti-immigration pronouncements.\u00a0"}
