R espect is an important feature in society. We are Nigerians who plan forward, adapt well, and are influential. Our interaction with the world is large-scale. My parents gave me a name which marks my Yoruba origin. Two generations before me, my grandparents came to live and work in England as immigrants and continued to value their identity. CULTURE OF TODAY by Olamide, a Young Nigerian When I first visited my family home in Nigeria in 2008, I saw the lively neighbourhoods. Young people were very dutiful. On returning to London that year I was motivated to talk with my peers about the needs of our nation, and to increase my knowledge of Nigerian affairs. Whilst I was still a college student, I found that Arts and journalism were things that others like me would use to express ourselves. Today, my desire for this nation is growth. I am thankful for what our leaders have brought. It’s a blessing that we are free to serve our community. I pray that we all continue to love God and build our nation. May we teach the values of our culture to the next generation. ❖ Preparing for that dream job?
