The Imagination

I am a firm believer in the power of the imagination. I believe in dreams and their ability to transcend reality.

“… My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the tribe. I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came.”
