Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, acclaimed Nigerian writer, in her novel “Half of a Yellow Sun” has Master say to the new houseboy Ugwu: “”There are two answers to the things they will teach you about our land: the real answer and the answer you give in school to pass. You must read books and learn both answers. I will give you books, excellent books.” Master stopped to sip his tea. “They will teach you that a white man called Mungo Park discovered the River Niger. That is rubbish. Our people fished in the Niger long before Mungo Park’s grandfather was born. But in your exam, write that it was Mungo Park”” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, “Half of a Yellow Sun”, Fourth Estate, London, 2014, page 11).
