This friday, the [somewhat-inactive] African Stud. Assoc. in my school want to have a mini-show. So, Yinkuslolo has to do something. I will talk about the African student transition to an American university and talk about the Nigerian(read:African) experience.
Why? because I am funny, even unintentionally. I don't know the humor these folks see in me but imma do something anyway.
If you have anything to share, pls, leave a comment about it.
Anything like,
Myths about Nigerians?
You know you're African[/Nigerian], when you _____?
If you study in the US[or anywhere abroad], what are your [funny] transition memories/encounters.
Even a link to some online information will be appreciated.
This week is crajjeeee mehn, my Beast mode is in full swing definitely.
Help me with suggestions abeg! Thanx in adv.
