From The Pen of a Foreign Mate…

I am baffled by the constant dialogue among Nigerians in America about “foreign women” who reject Nigeria.  Many Nigerian-American men and their families have cast American women as snobbish of third-world living and disdainful of Nigeria...

Home Coming

When people tell me they want to move back to Nigeria, I respond with the question, why? Sometimes I get a puzzling reply bordering around the fact that Nigeria is after all home, like it or not!

Critics, Commentators, and Gadflies
