Global Normaliminalities

Festus Badaseraye is a Nigerian expatriate who came to Mallorca in search of greener pastures. In his biography, he writes about the desires and dreams of people who come to the island, from Nigeria and various other places, in order to improve their chances and support their families. While having succeeded in establishing a firm basis in Mallorca himself, his ties to his native country are visible in his efforts to support the residents of his village in Ekakpame, Ughelli, South Delta State in Nigeria. He is presently in the process of buying land, and building a school which aims specifically to help girls to create a future for themselves in their home country, so that migration is no longer the sole option.
