《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》Intro
Advertisement
Okay, let me start by telling you a little bit about myself.
I am from Nigeria, Edo State to be specific, but I was born in Warri, Delta State. I lived there for about 12 years until I moved to Port-Harcourt, Rivers State. In 2010, my dad decided he'd had enough of Nigeria (not in a bad way though, just wanted a fresh start). So, in 2012, we moved to England. And can I just say I'm loving it here. Well . . .
Right, enough of myself, this ain't my auto-biography lol.
Anyway, this piece of writing is all about my experiences so far in England, and how different, very different it is to Nigeria. I bet some of you in a similar situation as I am, would be able to relate to a few, if not all, of what I'm ranting about.
Please do comment, and share your experiences too, so I know I'm not the only one and that I'm not going crazy lol.
Oh and don't forget to vote too, cos that would make me a really happy girl.
: Yes, we've come to this. *roll eyes* Some people might find some of the content in this work offensive, but trust me that is definitely not my intent. I can't help it. I'm being truthful here; just pouring out my feelings really. You know what they say, "the truth is bitter." So, suck it up buttercup!
Enough said . . . you ready? Set? Let's go!
