I've always wanted to go overseas. You know, travel the world, leaving my country and seeing what was in store for me.... To be honest, I hated my country.

I hated that sometimes it got too sunny for my liking and that we weren't given the necessary freedom .

I hated that there were groups of  'scumbags' called politicians who didn't give a damn about their citizens... don't get me wrong I love Nigeria but at the same time I hated it deeply.

When we watched tv especially during festive periods like Christmas, I'd always envy the whites for what they had....

You see I loved tv, not because it was entertaining but because it gave me some kind of glimpse into the white world , the kind of life they had and how they were living even if majority of it is scripted ....

I vividly remember watching Nickelodeon and seeing something like white flakes falling from the sky, since then I'd always say to myself.. someday, I'm gonna taste that and I'm gonna relish in the feel of it. I was determined that someday, I was gonna sleep on the snow clad floor and spread my limbs so wide and make a snow angel...it was my dream,

You can call me a dumb and stupid Nigerian girl, but I don't mind, it was my only dream to see snow , to be independent and to be as free as a bird.....

I wanted to LEAVE my country and I wanted to leave ASAP..
