I'm not just a feminist - I'm a feminist plus.

When I came to England it wasn't what it is now, then the black people were very rarely strong. I had a personal shock because England wasn't what I expected it to be... where people lived like Jane Austen.

I like to be called a Nigerian rather than somebody from the Third World or the developing or whatever.

In all my novels, I deal with the many problems and prejudices which exist for Black people in Britain today.

Men blackmailing you as a woman leads you to trivialise sex and say 'it's not important, what is important is myself as a person, no one owns me because of sex.'

I always value my large kitchen because it was better to do everything there, you wash up, you do everything, rather than messing up another room and I pop my typewriter just next to it. So I still write now but I was doing more writing when the children were younger.

I'm not just a feminist - I'm a feminist plus.
