Truth be told, do we truly have “libraries” in Nigeria? How many “libraries” do we have? Where are they located?
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I remember growing up, speaking of “libraries” which means bookstores we have that in almost all the major markets in Nigeria. In fact, in some states in Nigeria we a special market dedicated to the sales of books and stationeries only.
But “library” is considered a special feature in Nigeria. And can only been found in Some highly expensive Nigerian private schools. Few public schools do have library but I won’t call them library because they always outdated.

Interviewer: Do they have libraries in Nigeria?
Chimamanda: I think it reflects poorly on France that you asked that question
