"If I spoke in Nigerian English in Canada, people won't understand me. When I'm more comfortable with people, or I'm having fun, I use Nigerian English. In these situations I don't have to curate myself or feel embarrassed because someone corrects me. As time passes I get more and more comfortable in both spaces, the Nigerian, as well as the Canadian English.
Being a migrant has taught me to question things and understand that there are many ways to live your life and these ways can be equally valuable."
