The proprietress of New Star Rays was not just an academic - TopicsExpress



          

The proprietress of New Star Rays was not just an academic scholar. She was also an author and a poet. Amidst her many publications are her books titled: the blind search, the big headed friend of the prince and many more. We salute Dr. (Mrs) Titilayo Adejumobi for her exceptional literary pieces. And here we share one of them with you. This one is called When Natives Become Foreigners. WHEN NATIVES BECOME FOREIGNERS The search for daily bread carries man, far and wide Desire to live a better life drives man beyond his shores For in search of Golden Fleece, natives go to a foreign land For Africans, America or Europe is a better abode Good job, better pay and modernity are major attractions But beyond the clinches of the Western world, man is bound to his home North, West, South, ‘home is home: home sweet home In the search to go back home, the doors are shut, the shores are closed Foreigner you are; you cannot enjoy the bounties of two homes A citizenship you can claim, not two Return to the foreign land that you so desire For you are no longer a native. ———- Written by Dr (Mrs) Titi Adejumobi (Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Lagos, Nigeria)
