“How are those stories told? In telling those stories, it might not be something the West likes to read. How do we tell our stories, and why do we tell our stories? I want to tell the story for those who do not know how to tell their own stories. I want them to recognise their own voices in the story I tell. My projection was publishing from Nigeria to the world. Sad that you need to be in the West to be noticed by your own people. I want to be read by Nigerians. I have my roots here, spent most of my years here. My roots are connected here.”
