Akinbode Akinmutimi still remembers the first time he saw a U.S. dollar in Nigeria. He was in the fourth grade and was taken by the words “In God We Trust.”
“I really want to come to this country that trusted in God,” Akinmutimi recalls.
He did just that and moved to the U.S. 17 years ago.
Today, Akinmutimi says he’s living his American dream with his wife and three kids. But he worries about other Nigerians who are looking to do the same.
