Edward from Nigeria : Finding familiarity in Launceston

With a librarian mother, Edward's early life was immersed in books, and planted a seed of curiosity to see the world outside his own country. Growing up in an English-speaking environment that was heavily influenced by British culture, meant that Edward has not felt the "culture shock" so much of adapting to places, and he has a lived in a few before Launceston. In fact, Edward has found much that is relatable in Launceston to a similiarly sized city in Nigeria.  For many Australians, their knowledge of Nigeria is often limited to the ubiquituous Nigerian email scams of years past, but as Africa's most populous country and a major centre for film and music, it deserves more attention, and Edward reveals some aspects of Nigerian society and culture that may surprise.  Music : "Tafi Maradi" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
