I am a 38 year old Nigerian living in the UK and bringing up two sons.My sons were both born in the UK and one of the issues that I am having to deal with is whether my kids will grow up being able to identify with Nigeria and its culture.In other words, will they see themselves as Nigerian first and British second?

Women in Nigeria are beginning to find their place and their voice in a society that was for so long dismissive of their feelings and concerns and their sexual needs.

When I left to visit Nigeria, I had only been in America ten years and so I hadn't acquired the accent expected of a Nigerian-American. As for my hair, even in those days I had so little hair left, I was afraid that if I fried my hair, I would go bald! So I went home nappy-haired and with my original Nigerian accent. Unknown to me this was a major source of embarrassment to my dad...
The West must learn a lesson that my American bank knows too well and it is this: When you give a military junta a loan, it is analogous to giving a loan to a thief who has stolen my identity. Just as I am protected by the laws of the land, the beautiful people of Africa should be protected from the crimes of the gun-toting thieves and their Western accomplices...

With only a few days to the handover to a new government, we are still hearing belligerent and disgruntled voices threatening brimstone and fire, some very unpatriotic elements calling for the elections to be annulled...
A recent social intellectual gathering in Lagos somewhat illustrated how some prominent progressive-minded Nigerians viewed the viability of a revolution as the only way of re-launching our hopes and dreams as a nation...
Now that Baba Obasanjo is deputizing, Okey Ndibe is still not happy. And he has now set his eyes on President, Alhaji, and Mallam Musa Yar’Adua. Yar’Adua is the man...
Do you know that those meyguards at Trafalgar & Locke House will not allow me to see Mr. Abati? On Monday they told me I didn’t have an appointment to see Oga; on Tuesday I was told “Oga go come tomorrow;” On Wednesday it was “Oga just left for important meeting…come Friday.” On Friday, I was told another story...
