Uruwemu (Remu) Adejinmi, Cathaoirleach of Longford Minicipal District
First African-Irish woman to be appointed as mayor in Ireland shares how growing up in a middle-class family in Nigeria brought her to Co. Longford, her home of 20 years. Armed with English as her mother tongue, her multicultural/Catholic background, and a warped Irish-like sense of humour, she adjusted well with the comforts of a local African shop and Nigerian friends.
