Hers was the generation that saw the best of times and, arguably, the worst of times. The heady, optimistic pre Nigerian independence days and then, the abyss of the Civil War.
Mrs. Eugenia Arinola Afolabi has seen it all, done it all and wears the robes with a twinkle in her eye. In this episode we discuss:
- being wooed and wedded in 50s Nigeria;
- life as a foreign student in 50/60s England;
- fostering - good and not so great;
- skiing whilst black;
- from Guinea to Japan, New York to Belgium - moving every few years, living in many countries and continents but always, always being your true authentic self;
- her favourite things - music, books, food....
and, ah - that special, special thing close to the heart of every Yoruba person - her 'Oriki' (Google is the friend you need for this:)
This really is one for the history books.
