How do you belong in a place that edits your name? How do you raise Irish-born children who carry two homelands on their tongues? How do you survive the weather, the paperwork, and the casual sting of Where are you really from?
How to Be Nigerian in Ireland: Thirteen Stories on Race, Accent & Survival follows Nigerians in Ireland through family tension, workplace bias, immigration pressure, love, crime, grief, and the daily negotiations of belonging. Across bus routes, living rooms, shops, and hospital receptions these stories reveal the sharp comedy and quiet heartbreak of building a life between cultures.
A woman silent fight against workplace discrimination. A sister crosses Dublin to save her brother from bad choices. A caregiver writes a letter that laughs first, then bites. Between love for integration and grey skies, these characters invent their own grammar of survival.
Edgy, humane, funny, and unflinching, this collection speaks to anyone who has ever been hyphenated, mispronounced, underestimated, or told to lighten up.
