DIASPORA CORNER

This is a special section devoted to Umu Ohiaeri living outside Nigeria: in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and across the globe.

Whether you left Nigeria recently, a long time ago or were born and raised abroad, this space is for you.

Diaspora Corner exists to:

  • Help our children and grandchildren understand who they are and where they come from
  • Appreciate the hybrid identities of those navigating life as both Ohiaeri and American, British, or Canadian
  • Foster a sense of pride, belonging, and continuity

Guidelines for Contributing to Diaspora Corner

We welcome submissions from Ohiaeri family members abroad of all ages and backgrounds. If you’d like to contribute a story, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Keep it Accessible: Write in clear English; feel free to include Igbo terms, but explain them for readers who may not speak the language fluently.
  2. Honor Family Values: Avoid divisive, political, or inappropriate content. This is a family space, rooted in unity and love.
  3. Length: Articles should be 300–800 words. Shorter posts (100–200 words) are also welcome.
  4. Media: You may submit photos, short videos, or audio clips.
