To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go".
I think of My Mother as one of those irons will rarely speak figures of haunt. She grew up in one of those poor third world countries in Nigeria in a village called Katuka, Kaduna state. She grew up in a brutalized society, who takes girl‟s education as nothing. The kind of Nigerian girls who are destined never to get off the mountain, or out of the village.
