You may surprise you that my language is the language of 25 to 30 million people in Nigeria. Nigeria has 525 mother tongues, including IGBO, which is certainly not the most widespread language. In addition, English is Nigeria's official language. You can imagine why! Certainly the language played an important role on my long trip to Uri. I must not forget the unspoken languages that I met at all stations of my migration.
I am surprised to find myself as a seamstress on the sewing machine. After I have already learned Italian, I am now learning German. I finally do something that I understand something about and I love what I do! Perhaps it is the craftsmanship of my ancestors, be it the Yoruba or the even older NOK culture, which is now experiencing a revival in the craft that I go out. In my old world it was a luxury to go to school for which you had to pay. No money, no school! My mother had no money.
Now I'm sitting at school for several hours a week with my colleagues KoKoTé, To catch up with what we missed as poor girls. I know in my heart that with my training I am at KoKoTé get, finally on the right track. It makes me proud that with my competence I can contribute to something important that makes sense for other people. Come by us in the manufactory and I'll show you how well I master my craft and how practical that KoKoTé "Nessi" is! Well, as women, we know that there are more important things we have to talk about. For example, what we put in our Necessaire. Auch davon verstehe ich eine ganze Menge!
