I Am An Immigrant

3.6 Ada: The 'japa' syndrome


Listen Later

Ada is from Nigeria and has lived in the UK for over 20 years. She has worked in a number of fields, has a legal background and is also a trained early years practitioner. We talked about the Nigerian phenomenon of 'japa', Ada's inner tomboy and how the UK's so-called 'hostile environment' policies have impacted her life here.


I Am An Immigrant is an ice&fire theatre production hosted by Christine Bacon, edited by Helen Clapp. Cover art by Ada Jusic.


This season is supported by the Garden Court Chambers Special Fund
