Description
With the Nigerian elections around the corner, the diaspora in the UK, share their thoughts, hopes and fears about the state of politics in Africa's most populous country. Unlike other African nations, Nigerians cannot vote from outside the country. "We were disappointed that some of the members (of the Independent National Electoral Commission) could not see the importance of diasporas voting in Nigerian elections" says Emmanuel Ahanonu, who chairs a social club for Nigerians living in London. As of 2021, the British government estimates that over 300,000 people born in Nigeria are living in the UK. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
