“English, although the official language of Nigeria, was a formal language with which strangers and non-relatives addressed you. It had the potency of digging craters between you and your friends or relatives if one of you switched to using it.”

“He disliked English, not because they had invaded his country, but because of the effort required to understand their different languages and customs.

― Leila Aboulela, Lyrics Alley
