"53% Nigerian is a LOT! If you’ve got Nigerian friends you trust, I’m begging you - go to Nigeria for a few weeks (December is a great time for detty December - go to the village for inner reflection and to the city for partying if you can). I’m Liberian, not Nigerian, but when I went, it was wild, chaotic, and beautiful all at once 😭.
"I went a few years ago w friends - we hit Nigeria, Ghana, then Liberia. One night in Nigeria, we were sitting outside my friend’s house, no generator on yet, just stars and each other. A mix of Liberian, Nigerian, Nigerian American, Black American, Cape Verdean, and Brazilian friends just vibing.
"And I just started crying. So did a few of us (mainly those of us who had never been to Africa until that day). It was something about being there, talking about our goals, how far we’ve come, being treated kindly (minus the swindlers trying to get money out of us lol), and feeling like we were in a place that didn’t make our existence seem like a burden..."
