Education

WESTERN CONTENT HAS CONFUSED US.

I am a major beneficiary of western content. I come from a medium-silver-spoon background, schooled in very good schools, exposed to a very balanced cosmopolitan life and allowed my choices and preferences. My parents, Dad especially, are very liberal. They let you do what works for you. Hence my ability to make some dangerous decisions that could have cost me a lot (some have). If my parents were core traditionalists or the typical African kind, I definitely would not turn out how I am.

I DON’T HAVE A SECOND PASSPORT.

A little more than 2 years ago, someone influential told me that I should do everything to get a second passport because knowing what he knows (he’s an insider), ‘these people' don’t care about Nigeria. When the chips are down, they will move. In fact, he said he had been so slow about his own residency but his contemporaries told him to guard it well for ‘incasity’ as we normally call it.
