'Why can't, Hausa marry Yoruba, Ibo marry Yoruba, Yoruba marry Oyinbo...and L marry a blond Japanese guy named Han.?

Tuesday April 2nd – 2am. The phone rings. It’s my mother

‘Dodo…Dodo…’ I hear her deep panting exhausted breath. Instantly I knew.
‘Dodo…hello’ she continued

This is a dream!

'Are you awake?’
'Yes, Mummy’.

In one gasping breath she continues, ‘Do you have a girlfriend? Dodo, is your girl friend Oyinbo? Are you going out with an Oyinbo girl? I’m not joking – oh, tell me!’

I respond, stunned, ‘Urh, yes – I mean no. ‘
A screech comes from the other end of the line, .”Jesuoooooooo!’

…….the rest to come.
