Donald Woods was born at Elliotdale, Transkei, South Africa, in 1933 not far from Nelson Mandela’s birthplace. A fifth-generation South African, he grew up the way most Whites of his generation did as a believer in apartheid and started out life like most white South Africans—amid wealth, privilege, and totally ignorant of their all-pervasive racism. Wood was from Transkei in remote South Africa, he spoke English and Xhosa.

I love my mother
For being my mother
And I, her dear son,
Born later than my father
I love my mother
For marrying my father
I am her first gift
While inside of her
I troubled her in
Her first trimester
Deprived her in her
Second trimester
Kicked and boxed her in
Her third trimester
Threatening her
To let me out

Nigeria is a country of more than 140 million people and there are so many ethnic groups in the country. The three major groups are the Hausa’s, the Igbo's and the Yoruba's.  English language is classified as the Official language of doing business in Nigeria. I have nothing against having English as the official language but i am not happy that the Nigerian government and most of our citizens are not doing enough to help in promoting our indigenous languages.

"When I’m born, I’m Black
When I grow up, I’m Black
When I go sun-bathing, Iˊm  Black
When I’m scared, I’m Black
When I’m cold, I’m Black
When I’m sick, I’m Black
When I die, I’m still Black
And the WHITES who call me coloured?
