I think people are mostly surprised that I choose to be in Nigeria.
Because I'm a British citizen.
I could be in England.
So I think people are mostly usually surprised.
They assume I'm not resident in Nigeria.
They assume I'm resident elsewhere.
So that's kind of interesting to me.
And it kind of makes me even more determined to say, no, I'm happy that I'm, I mean, I'm not always happy.
But I'm mostly happy that I'm there.
My favorite novel of all time is Jane Eyre, which I think surprises people.
They tend not to expect that to be my favorite book.
I think people forget Nigeria was colonized by the British.
But besides that, I was... So easy to forget.
You know, but, yeah, but I think I was 10 the first time I read it.
I was in England.
We were living there at the time.
And I was around 10 when I read Jane Eyre.
And I fell in love.
I mean, I was falling in love with a lot of books back then.
