english: If I had not grown up in Nigeria, and if all I knew about Africa were from popular images, I too would think that Africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, beautiful animals, and incomprehensible people, fighting senseless wars, dying of poverty and AIDS, unable to speak for themselves and waiting to be saved by a kind, white foreigner.
non_english: Če ne bi bila odrasla v Nigeriji, in če bi bilo vse, kar bi vedela o Afriki iz popularnih predstav, potem bi tudi jaz mislila, da je Afrika kraj čudovitih pokrajin, čudovitih živali in nerazumljivih ljudi, ki bijejo nerazumne vojne, umirajo od revščine in AIDS-a, ter se niso sposobni postaviti zase, in čakajo, da jih bo rešil prijazen bel tujec.
