Abstract

This essay is a work of satire, modeled after the late Binyavanga Wainaina’s “How to Write About Africa.” Much like Wainaina’s 2005 essay, this post captures an important truth about how so many journalists, pundits, and even scholars continue to write about Africa, including the nation of Nigeria.
