Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Half of a Yellow Sun (via tooroughfingersoftheworld)
One of my all-time favourite quotes from one of my all-time favourite books from one of my all-time favourite authors.

deeeeeep as hell!
(via mujerdorada)
this is exactly what I was discussing with some friends yesterday, I have hard time understanding already what it means to be Congolese but I get branded as African wherever I go as if I could represent 54 countries!!
Then again being outside of the continent taught me to appreciate other “Africans”.
“
… My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the tribe. I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came.
