Book Cover & Preview Text
Being in a country that's meant to be yours just because part of you is from it doesn't make you qualified to be a member. It doesn't give you the right to say that it is your home, especially when it fills you with such unhappiness. I am part Nigerian and part Lebanese but never felt I belonged to any and still don't, no matter how welcoming they are. Growing up in Nigeria but being raised with an Arabian scope of mind locked me up, isolated me completely for I was confused and frustrated most of the time with nowhere to go. To make things even worse, we were brought up to be very open minded in a western kind of way, the time we had money, London was a place of our vacations, we were expected to hold ourselves up high and be like everyone else around us there. For me, that was home. Yet when holidays were over they would say “we are going back home now”! The worst sentence I could ever hear then. I didn't exactly know where I belonged, in Nigeria, I wasn't Nigerian, in Lebanon, I wasn't Lebanese and not western to have a westernized scope of mind that I loved so much, I loved its freedom more than anything.
