One of the few photos that I have of my
Grandmother. She was a Fulani woman from
Northern Nigeria who practiced Islam. Much like
today, romantic relationships between Christians
(Igbos) and Muslims (Hausa/Fulanis) in Nigeria
were very rare and shunned.
A few years after my Dad was born, my
Grandma, Nnuja Muhummad, and my Grandpa
Dennis Ogbonna, ended their relationship due to
the pressures of society. My Dad went with my
Grandpa back to our homeland in Imo State in
Southeastern Nigeria. He never saw or heard
from his mother again.
My Dad died on December 26, 2011. All I have
left are photographs and stories.
