I am from Nigeria. Nigeria is in Africa.

In Nigeria the police are bad They steal jewlery and money. The police pretend to be good. But when nobody is there, they steal the gold. When the President comes, they say, "A thief came. I tried to stop him but he escaped".

Africa is always hot. It is so hot that my skin feels tight, like someone is holding on to it. When the sun is on my skin, my skin gets crunchy. Everybod has black skin in Africa.

In Africa there are straw houses and brick houses.

We only speak a little English and a lot of our language. Our language is Yoruba. We speak more languages. The language is Ebo. I don't know how to speak Ebo. No one in my family knows how to speak Ebo.

In Africa, we wear strange clothes and hats.

My Grandma is still in Africa. I miss her. My mom said, "She's coming to America".
