Nigerians In America

Vera Ezimora

Humor is a very universal language, which is why I try to incorporate it in everything I write and do. Humor is my language of communication, my defense mechanism, and my coping strategy. I even laugh when I’m praying, and I think God laughs with me too…He too has a sense of humor; why else will He plan a judgment day and not tell anyone the date? He wants to laugh when He sees us running with the soles of our feet hitting the backs of our heads and begging for mercy; that’s funny, even to me who is at risk by being human. I was born in Leningrad, Russia on the 14th of January at some point in time. I am from Anambra, but currently reside in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. FYI: I love blue roses! (The problem is that I’m yet to receive one.)

Poles Apart

He looks like an average Joe, nothing special.  But the moment he opens his mouth, you need not wonder just how high his IQ is.  He speaks English like he invented the language.  Who knew that English could make you feel all girly inside?

Why do Nigerian women think they look good with bright blonde wigs and weaves?  A light skinned woman hardly looks good with a blonde weave, but a dark skinned woman looks worse...

This Marriage Thing Sef

Once upon a time, I used to go ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ whenever I heard about a wedding, but these days, I am almost filled with sadness for the couple.  I almost want to give them a condolence card...

Men Are Like Cars

Men are like cars.  Some days you wake up, enter your car and just drive off. On other days, you cannot help but wonder the point of having a car…


Is It Just Me?

Let me make my stand known.  I, Vera Ezimora, do solemnly swear that I cannot and will not appreciate a cheap ring.  I will take it, but I cannot appreciate it...

If at the end of this piece you conclude that this is a love story, I will not mind at all.  But I did not set out to make it such.  I just figured I owed it to this special someone to say a few things...


So When Are You Getting Married?

My friend Uche has been single for the longest time.  She has been so single that I have started wondering if she has died and just does not know it...
