20 Years Ago....
On September 13, 1988, my family arrived in the U.S., moving out of Nigeria. I lived in Nigeria until I was 12, and even though I had visited the U.S several times, I was (and still am, to some degree) a fish out water in this country.
Today marks 20 years since I've lived in the U.S. - more than half of my life - and I still don't feel "American". I don't think I ever will.

Do you think that you would feel as "a fish IN water" if you moved back to Nigeria?
At this point, no. I feel like I'm a man without a country, which is not a bad thing - I like to think of myself as worldly.
