The Lagos of my childhood was a well-laid-out maritime city.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nigeria is like everywhere, really: there are some beautiful places that have been invested in and others that haven't been.
While the majority of my childhood memories are beautiful, I also have experienced the challenges that Nigeria has faced since independence.
I loved growing up in Tulsa.
It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens.
Nigeria has had a complicated colonial history. My work has examined that part of our story extensively.
I grew up sailing in the North Sea.
My childhood was a happy one, spent in a tall house in South Kensington and later in East Sussex, but my early and mid teens were less successful.
I grew up in Newquay, on the Atlantic coast and there developed a love of the sea and boats.
Rio's a beautiful city, a vibrant place, special place.
I'm very proud of my Nigerian heritage. I wasn't fortunate enough to be raised in a heavy Nigerian environment, because my parents were always working. My father was with D.C. Cabs and my mother worked in fast food and was a nurse.
