I wanna be generous and share, hoping that you and me, all together, we can inspire the next generation. I won’t say that you are wrong when you talk about Africa, I will tell the truth and you will get it from there. I won’t criticize them for writing about things they don’t have a thorough knowledge, I will do it if I believe that I can. I will never fall into complaining about “experts” who use cliches to describe African culture. About Nigeria: some would expect me to talk about the Islamic group Boko Haram, the displaced people parked in camps, oil and corruption. For the past 20 years, I have covered, for the BBC, stories from different perspectives, angles, and from every corner of the African continent. That is the reason why I use my blog to write about what I like, not necessarily about the part of Africa where I come from, ( I am a pan-Africanist). Having been a journalist for more than a quarter of a century, I am fed up with news about wars, famine, destruction, and diseases.
