Film Screening: Becoming Nigerian

Join us for an exciting film screening of "Becoming Nigerian" as part of Seidea's inclusion series. This event will explore the essence of the Nigerian identity and the desire of Nigerian students abroad to find belonging. The film is made up of five episodes, each exploring different themes such as Essence, Honeymoon, Crisis, Adaptation, and Homecoming.

After the screening, we will have a Q&A session with the filmmaker, Emmanuel Johnson, to delve deeper into the themes presented in the film. At Seidea, we believe that discussing issues around immigration and being a minority is crucial in creating an inclusive community.
