If you’re already a Nigerian in the US, you can join this Twitter Community - Nigerians in the US (NIUS) here: x.com/nius_community?s=21&t=6_6sGcVSbfJdrAFiITtmCA All you need to do is request to join and you’d be let in if you really are in the US. There’s no payment or anything of that nature.

Great video Chilotam! It made a lot of things clearer to me, especially with adjusting to relationships with my cousins who live there. Sometimes it comes off disrespectful 😅(the eye contact thing and they’re very direct) but it’s cultural. I’m doing something in anthropology, and read about our power distance differences so it put a lot of things in perspective too.

Yes, but I prefer to be contacted via social media first in clear terms and proper details, so I know the purpose of the potential conversation. I’m more active on Twitter, so you can send me a DM there. The handle is @ChilotamOjukwu.
