ZainabbAliyu
Moving to Abuja was supposed to be simple - just school stress, nosy sisters, and neighborhood gist. But for Zainab Ibrahim, life across the street from the Galadimas changes everything.
From her very first crush on Ahmad - older, focused, and far out of reach - to years later when love, heartbreak, and betrayal follow her into adulthood, Zainab learns that nothing in life is ever simple.
There will be secrets that shake families. Friendships that turn into lifelines. A slow-burn love story that takes years to finally ignite. And a marriage that will test not only her heart, but her faith, her strength, and the very meaning of loyalty.
From ice cream runs in secondary school to the bittersweet drama of university days, from wedding halls glittering with promises to nights where trust shatters in silence - Zainab's journey is one of faith, love, loss, and finding her voice in a world that wants to silence her.
The Family Next Door is an Arewa romance filled with gist, heartbreaks, slow-burn tension, and the kind of love that will leave you smiling, crying, and whispering "subhanallah" at 2 AM.
