The Nigerian Brit | The Afro-European (1/6) | VPRO Documentary

So many Nigerians live in the London neighborhood of Peckham that it has also been called Little Lagos. For most of them, adjusting has long been the magic word. So too for Ikenna Azuike's Nigerian father, who once moved to England with his Ukrainian-German wife. So Ikenna grew up there as a typical British boarding school boy. He later moved to the Netherlands.

In the first episode, Ikenna travels back to the UK. Encounters with Nigerian Brits confront him with the fact that he has actually neglected his African side. His Nigerian father's strict rules and sky-high expectations, and his generation's need to adapt, have had a great impact on Ikenna. His return to London exposes his identity problem, but how does he solve it?
