Emmy Kosgei is in the country. 10 years ago, that statement would not have caused ears to perk up, but now it’s a thing of excitement because today, she switches between Kenya and her new home, Nigeria, regularly.

It has been almost nine years since she left and is now even used to Nigeria’s famously spicy food now.

She has also picked up some quintessentially Nigerian habits like saying, “Chineke oh,” but manages to not use the expressions and speak pidgin for most of the interview, except to explain the language.
