My Country is my Passion
My passion is my country and I find that I am always talking about her – even when I don’t mean to. I grew up in Nigeria but have lived in the UK close to thirteen years. It pains me that to achieve the things I want, I seem to have to live outside of the place that makes me feel most whole. It pains me more that I am not the only Nigerian to feel that way. So many people leave. So many people escape. So many people are drained and give up – especially in Lagos, my hometown which is more bustling and hectic than most places on our planet.
