The nose catches the sweet and enticing scent from afar, as it touches the mouth, the lips register the taste even before the tongue enjoys it. Such was my experience with my favourite and symbolic ofe-nsala soup, a special delicacy enjoyed in Eastern Nigeria always in popular demand and the first delicacy to finish in any buffet event where its part of a meal course.“Don’t waste any more time and funds configuring your website to have the ICO section, it shows you’re not prudent and have a bad sense of judgment as a Founder/CEO.

Boko Haram’s terror ripples through the region

The report outlines the massive internal displacement caused by militant group Boko Haram not only in north-east #Nigeria, ground zero of the crisis, but also by waves of attacks carried out in neighboring Cameroon, Chad and #Niger. The effects of the crisis are reverberating across the wider #Sahel, a region suffering chronic levels of #malnutrition.

Marking one year since Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls from #Chibok, the report also highlights how gender is an increasingly significant component of the group’s tactics, messaging and #violence and how large-scale abductions have escalated over the past year.

Chimanda Adichie : Le danger d’une histoire unique | Video on TED.com
▻http://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html

I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories about what I like to call “the danger of the single story.” I grew up on a university campus in eastern Nigeria. My mother says that I started reading at the age of two, although I think four is probably closer to the truth. So I was an early reader, and what I read were British and American children’s books.
I was also an early writer, and when I began to write, at about the age of seven, stories in pencil with crayon illustrations that my poor mother was obligated to read, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out. (Laughter) Now, this despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. I had never been outside Nigeria. We didn’t have snow, we ate mangoes, and we never talked about the weather, because there was no need to.
My characters also drank a lot of ginger beer because the characters in the British books I read drank ginger beer. Never mind that I had no idea what ginger beer was. (Laughter) And for many years afterwards, I would have a desperate desire to taste ginger beer. But that is another story.
What this demonstrates, I think, is how impressionable and vulnerable we are in the face of a story, particularly as children. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify.
