some ignorant people think that african girls walk around
naked all the time and we have no electricity
or running water. I agree that
Nigeria is bad but I
don't think its as bad as people make it to be.

I would like to know of some of the things that have been said to you guys about our motherland

Those comments only make me amused cos u & i know the truth anyway so

hmmmm, people in america here talk a lot of trash about africa. They think we eat wit our hands always,They don't think we got TV in africa or books like my geometry teacher said she visited south africa last summer and she was tellin' d class how they ain't got textbooks in southafrica and how they don't know how to use d computer and stuff. I kept quiet because dat wasn't my problem, lemme hear them talk about naija, then they would hear my voice. They also think we don't have food in africa, so we're always skinny, like dis skinny girl in my class is obviously worried about her weight,so she asked d teacher if she saw anybody skinnier than her in southafrica but d teacher answered dat she saw different people of different sizes. I was crackin' up inside 'cause dis girl is from Trinidad and they ain't rich over there either. Naija is probably richer than them but they all open their mouth but i won't talk 'cause i didn't hear " Nigeria" from their mouths. A lot of people don't like to annoy me so they be like"chidi lived in d rich part of africa', i lived in lagos for a few years but i just nod.they can't mess wit me, y'know. 'cause i don't care, i can get into it with anybody at anytime. So, they put commas and fullstops when they talk.
