Not yet. Do I even know what my Nigerian Dream is anymore? Having spent more of the last 6 months here than back in England, maybe I've become a little confused....
When I first started losing sleep over Nigeria - wanting to be here more than England - what was I dreaming of?
Better weather? Better opportunities? A more carefree less stressful way of life? Better mrriage prospects? A happier more fulfilling career? Fame and fortune?
Probably all of the above and more!
But now that I'm over here I have to say I feel at a bit of a loss about how to go about making all of the above happen.
Some people might think I will never make it because my father isn't loaded. Others will say I should have come over on a fat expat contract with a big multi-national...that if your not born into the Lagos elite - that private inpenetrable clique of the ridiculously rich and wonderfully wealtthy who all go to certain schools and live in certain areas here and aborad you will always be a nobody.
Well I intend to prove those people wrong. I'm going to use this blog to chart my journey to the top of my game! Iv'e just got to figure out how to play it...
For once (and uncharacteristically for me) I'm taking things slowly - including writing and figuring out how this blogging thing works.
I hope as I unravel that mystery other women trying to carve out their own Nigerian Dream will find out about this blog and share parts of their story by posting...
This is a blog initiated and inspired by one of many Nigerian women born in the diaspora who has recently returned to fulfill her dreams.
