Unapologetically Chinagorom.
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had a brief conversation with Chisom yesterday.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Actually, let me correct myself—she prefers to be called Emily. Every time I referred to her as Chisom, it felt as though I were piercing her soul with a spear. Her reaction made me pause and reflect:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What is happening to our mother tongue? Have we lost pride in our fatherland?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I want to be a proud Nigerian. I want to be addressed by my native name and feel completely at peace with it. I want to confidently wear my cultural attire without being questioned or dismissed as "local." I want to speak to my brothers in our mother tongue without receiving glances of disgust.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">My name is <strong>Ezekiel Chinagorom Okeke. </strong>I hail from Enugu State in southeastern Nigeria. And I am a proud Nigerian.</p>
