As a Nigerian-American, I continue to weather the confluence that merges the Western antidotes and Nigeria’s version of the Ten Commandments. Okay, there are definitely way more than ten.

In many ways E! Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic made my dreams come true. It is Black History month and typically this is a period when we all try to be politically correct and adhere to the standards of decorum as it pertains to Black America.
