I’m reading from my first book Fadimatu to Nigerians and friends at A UBC Nigerian Association gala. Looks like the outfit I sewed with Parmata Ishaya’s sewing machine in Numan Nigeria “goes” with the jacket of Fadimatu. “Why no scycrapers?” Teased my Nigerian boyfriend. (I had lived the the far north-east, already hard done by then and now floods and no crops and ever-morphing terror from without preying, I guess, on the desperation of those within-especially the less literate. ). Small world huh. #naija #numannigeria #fadimatu #jennifermitton #dutchwax #singersewingmachine #ubcnigerianassociation #goodtimes #goodtimeswithnigerianfriends #vancouverwriter #cusonigeria # celibatesunderstressoverseas https://www.instagram.com/p/CVZQxp8lNNN/?utm_medium=tumblr
