Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I'd personally send you a thank you email.Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.In this episode, I'm speaking to Dikachi Chizim, who moved from Lagos, Nigeria to Freiberg, Germany for an MBA.Germany isn't the typical destination for skilled Nigerian immigrants, especially in the past five years. According to Dikachi, even the Germans she met in Freiberg, a town of over 40,000 in Eastern Germany, were surprised she moved to their town to study. “Well, I came to study because tuition was free,” she says. But the culture shock was dramatic. Now, this isn't surprising if you've been to both or any of the two cities. Lagos and Freiberg are different in every measurable way. From population to density to the economy to the urban character to the language. “I was lost,” Dikachi says. Getting a student job became the unlikely path to understanding the language and how the country worked.In this conversation, Dikachi and I chat about dealing with the contrast between Nigerian "African time" and famed German punctuality. We also explore:* How her workplace became more valuable for integration than her international student community* Passing her Nigerian cultural heritage to her German-born daughter* The surprising differences between Eastern and Southern Germany's social climate* Why optimism might be an immigrant's most valuable assetOfficial Links✅ Follow Dikachi on LinkedIn✅ Sign up for Dikachi's Thinking Out Loud newsletterOne AskIf you found this story helpful, please forward or share it to one immigrant out there.

Today's episode talks about the marriage stereotypes in the Nigerian-African community. As a woman, if by 30 or older you aren't married, the society sees you as "OLD CARGO". Even if you are still in your 20's, because you don't want to be seen as OLD CARGO by the time you're 30, you fall into the pressure of finding a marriage partner by any way. Can the same be said for men? Also, there are those who see marriage as the end point of life. They don't believe in having personal goals and achieving them before marriage or even in marriage! Once you're married, you're good to go and that's the end of the road! Well, what do YOU think about these stereotypes? Say something in the "Voice Message" section.

On this episode we speak with Oluwatosin Adeshokan, a freelance journalist based in Lagos, Nigeria, about his career trajectory and the current state of journalism in the country. We explore the circumstances that have resulted in big Nigerian/African stories being primarily broken by global, western news orgs like the New York Times, The Guardian UK, CNN, and the implications of this trend. We examine the role of journalism in holding power to account in Nigeria and wonder why local investigative journalism exposés do not often result in change (hint: shameless authoritarian governments and apathetic general public). Lastly, we discuss ideas for how journalism on the continent might evolve in a way that is engaging, speaks truth to power, and is better funded. ------------------ Resources: Explore the now defunct 234Next Website on Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20100701000000*/234next.com Oluwatosin's article on learning Mandarin in Nigeria - https://popula.com/2018/09/10/learning-chinese-in-nigeria/ Oluwatosin's article in the LA Times about dreams of Biafra in the East - https://www.latimes.com/world/africa/la-fg-nigeria-war-legacy-20190430-story.html Perspective on the implications of foreign media orgs telling African stories https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/01/african-journalism-stifled-lack-resources https://africasacountry.com/2019/02/whos-reporting-africa-now Zikoko’s This Naira Life reporting https://www.zikoko.com/naira-life/tough-hustling-in-nigeria/ ------------------ Episode was mixed by Ifeoluwa Olokode, theme song is Ayo by Femi Leye

This week on the NDINI podcast, we interview trailblazing Multimedia Journalist, Feminist and SocEnt Lawyer – Ony Nwaohuocha. Ony Nwaohuocha is a Nigerian-American woman whose family fled Africa during the Biafra War and settled in Bronx, New York. Her parents were her greatest role models, along with 4 very strong-willed sisters. They helped her become the well-rounded and grounded person she is today. She shares how her love for Africa and storytelling was fostered at home when her father would recall stories about Nigeria over dinner. It's her father's storytelling that led to her ever-growing fascination for Africa — its culture and its people. Her first career had been in law as a SocEnt lawyer working with entrepreneurs and organizations. Ony believed that for-profit businesses had both the capability and the capacity to do good in their communities. She had been a consultant for the African Women's Development Fund which allowed her to travel around Africa. This helped her learn and get better acquainted with the continent's issues. She then focused her passion for social good by being an advocate for women's rights addressing issues in reproductive health, sexual education, and domestic violence. Of course, Ony doesn't stop there! Wanting to be better equipped in her quest to show more diverse representations of Africa, she decided to take the leap and enroll in one of the leading journalism schools in the world, the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. This allowed her to work with CNN and BBC tackling current events and later focusing on women affairs. “I know I probably won't impact the whole world before I die, but at least for an African girl, the impact that I would love to have is to let her really understand that she really can do anything… she can see someone like herself being able to do so much more than she ever thought that she could, she has the confidence and the ability to speak up for herself and to understand that she can change her circumstance for the better.” – Ony Nwaohuocha You might be wondering, “how does she juggle her careers and fight for women's rights without burning herself out?” Well, Ony's journey wasn't all sunshine and butterflies. “I don't look what I go through!” she jokingly shares. In fact, sometimes she appears unfazed and composed on the surface but frantic on the inside. The journalism scene in West Africa often proves to be a challenge due to its socio-cultural dynamics and infrastructural limitations. But this, of course, only makes her resolve to challenge issues that are taboo in Africa even greater. Join us and learn more about our innovative African sister's golden insight for those who want to pursue the same!   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How Ony Nwaohuocha transitioned from one career to two — journalism and law Why Ony is passionate to telling a more diverse story about Africa? How being Nigerian-African helps her in understanding both worlds The challenges of being a woman journalist in Africa Why it's our inherent duty to show tell our story with integrity, love, and sensitivity Why journalism isn't really as impartial and objective as we think it is How her mother's advice helps her overcome day-to-day challenges Her advice to those who want to pursue journalism in Africa   EPISODE LINKS  Ony Nwaohuocha Ony on LinkedIn Ony on Twitter Ony on Instagram  Ony on Facebook   Follow NDINI on: Website: http://www.ndini.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NDINImedia/ Twitter: @NDINImedia Instagram: @ndinimedia Follow The NDINI Podcast on iTunes and Stitcher and SoundCloud
