Being a woman writer, I would be deceiving myself if I said I write completely through the eye of a man. There's nothing bad in it, but that does not make me a feminist writer. I hate that name. The tag is from the Western world - like we are called the Third World.

I usually make sure that my stories are from Africa or my own background so as to highlight the cultural background at the same time as telling the story.

I like to be called a Nigerian rather than somebody from the Third World or the developing or whatever.
