I wrote this poem to symbolise the peace I experience when I visit Nigeria. I have always identified more strongly with Mother Africa. There is an indescribable sense of belongingness, harmony, freedom and completeness people like me feel when they reconnect with their (diasporic) homeland. As a child growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, my Nigerian mother taught me my mother tongue, Igbo. I have learned to cook our dishes and perform our traditional dances because of the love for Africa that she instilled in me. I am grateful for the opportunities my family and I have experienced, and I will always long for Nigeria. This poem encapsulates this longing; the longing to be in my homeland once more and for the freedom I experience whenever I return.
