Compare Yourself to Spradlin! Do you think you would have been able to do what he did?

[Osakwe Precious]

To be very honest, I doubt that I would have done what Spradlin did. Spradlin's deep understanding of Nigerian culture set him apart. As a woman, my experience in Nigeria during the 1970s would be very different.

[Grace Jane]

While I admire Spradlin's determination, navigating a foreign country alone would be daunting.

[NicoleFaith24]

I think if I had to do it for a loved one or someone I knew I would will myself to do what Spradlin did. I think the cultural differences make it more difficult but something still possible if I were aware of how things are done in the country.

[Williams Frank]

If I were in Thomas Richard Spradlin's position, I would prioritize thorough research of the local culture, language, and political climate. Building a network of local contacts, showing cultural sensitivity, and taking security precautions would be crucial. I would also adapt my problem-solving strategies to align with local norms and remain flexible and patient throughout the process.

[Phillip Noah]

If I had Spradlin's connections in Nigeria and his capabilities, I think I would do what he did. I think Spradlin drew his courage to find a missing person with very little clue of where he might because he had fore-knowledge of the country, Nigeria. This knowledge helped him to enter the country and meet the right people to aid him.

[Kim Jieun]

Tony's bravery and selflessness in prioritizing his client's safety, even in the face of adversity, is truly admirable. I must admit, I doubt I could muster the same level of courage and dedication that he demonstrated in his actions.

[jay johnston]

I'm unlikely to have replicated Richard's feats, which demanded a distinct combination of Nigerian terrain expertise, personality, and diplomatic skills.

[nath steve]

I highly doubt I could have accomplished what Richard achieved. His success required not only familiarity with the Nigerian landscape but also a unique blend of personality traits and expertise in international relations.

[Hana Hasegawa]

The idea of me accomplishing what Spradlin did is unthinkable! I wouldn't have possessed the skills to navigate the complexities of a vastly different foreign policy, nor could I have acquired the language proficiency through self-study. My utmost admiration goes to Spradlin for his remarkable achievements.

[james bond2]

Spradlin's deep dive into Nigerian culture afforded him a unique advantage, but as a woman in 1970s Nigeria, my experience would have been vastly different and more challenging. Unlike Spradlin, I wouldn't have been able to navigate the complex foreign policy landscape or master the local language with such ease.

[Emi Akira]

i wouldn't have possessed the skills or expertise to navigate such a vastly different foreign policy landscape, nor could I have learned the language through self-study.

[alina constantin]

If I were in Spradlin's position, I would have prepared extensively, considering the diversity of Nigerian culture and the numerous languages spoken there. My main challenge would have been the language barrier. Additionally, I would have familiarized myself with some fundamental cultural practices to ensure I could integrate smoothly and avoid any potential issues.

[peter nnaemeka 1]

Definitely not! I wouldn't have been able to manage such a vastly different foreign policy, nor could I have learned the language just by studying a book on my own. I commend Spradlin for his achievements.

[Maren Eze]

I would not go to Nigeria.

[Anthony Nwolisa]

I have immense respect for Spradlin’s achievements. Navigating such a complex foreign policy and mastering the language from just a book is beyond my capabilities. If I were in Spradlin’s position, I doubt I would have been able to do what he did.
