A nine-year-old returnee, Victoria Ogunbanjo, shares her experience with SIMON UTEBOR
How do you feel now that you are in Nigeria?
I’m Victoria Ogubanjo. I feel shocked and excited.
How can you be shocked and excited at the same time?
I am shocked because I never thought I would finally be in Nigeria.
Have you been to Nigeria before?
No.
What class are you in?
I am in Primary Four.
Are you missing your friends over there?
A little bit.
How do you mean?
I don’t miss them very much because at times they bully me, at times they don’t.
Why do they bully you?
I don’t know why they bully me and call me names. In fact, I am happy being home, at least all the bullying will be over.
