Summary

In this quote, the speaker expresses conflicted feelings about Nigeria. They admit to having romanticized dreams of going back to their home country but quickly undermine that notion by describing it as "hideous" in reality.

No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America

No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building.

What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.
