Week 7 Post A

Once again in this last section of reading their was a specific cultural difference shown between England and Nigeria.

The Nigerian government was increasing their effort to get a hold of Sade and Femi's father, who is known as Mr. Solaja. They found out that he was being held in prison in England and then they were asking for him to be returned to Nigeria, where he would be persecuted for killing his wife. Once again this shows the Nigerian government's recklessness in making Mr. Solaja pay for his work against the government. On the other hand the English government is trying to work things out with the Nigerian government and make sure their claims agains Sade and Femi's father are true.

Another cultural difference between Nigeria and England is the media and the amount of control the government has over it. In Nigeria the government has complete control over it and if you publish what ever you want, then you will find yourself in deep trouble, just like Sade and Femi's father. In England on the other hand their is more freedom of speech, in fact the reason Sade and Femi were finally reunited with their father again, was because of the english newspaper publishing an aritcle about the truth, and the false accusations from the Nigerian government.
