About this ebook
Andrew starts his momentous first journey abroad laden with well-meant advice: not to stay too long in the white mans country, his mothers contribution; and not to marry a foreign girl, his travelling companions personally felt plea. He quickly discovers that London is not Lagos. It is fascinating to see familiar landmarks and the sometimes quirky English character through new eyes, but he is fortunate to make a friend John, who introduces him to his parents and . . . his sister, Eve. Sadly, as far as his mother is concerned, he is away too long but that he ignores the second sour advice is to his everlasting benefit. He meets and marries exactly the right girl, foreign or not. All is not plain sailing, but when it is necessary for Andrew to return to Nigeria, husband and wife are secure enough in their relationship to know that they and their children will survive whatever life in Africa will throw at them.

I was born and educated in Nigeria. After training as a physiotherapist at the University of Ibadan, I worked in the Ministry of Health of the old Western State of Nigeria. I emigrated, in 1975, to London where I worked as a physiotherapist in the National Health Service until my early retirement in 2006. I pursued a course in Rehabilitation Studies at Southampton University and obtained a Master of Science degree in Physiotherapy from the University of East London. I have contributed many articles to professional journals. Some of the subjects of my articles include the aetiology and prevention of falls, approaches to the treatment of leg ulcer, the physiology, benefits, and methods of promoting exercises for the elderly, and the effects of ethnicity on physical activity levels. I live in Barking, Essex, England. Physiotherapy remains my vocation. Writing is now my passion.
