"A good name is better than gold." Her mother said these words in a playful song form to little July. Her father on the other hand hated those words irrespective of what form they were used.
"A good name got me framed, fired and imprisoned for two years." Her father would say while he drank from his bottle of a local dry gin.
"The so called good name is overrated."
"Those of them in power have good names, their names are ministers, governors, senators, etcetera. But they all have a common true name, they are all "Thieves". A thief is the real good name." Her dad would finally say as he took another sip from the bottle and cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Don't say things like these to our little daughter." July's mom would counter as she carried little July on her shoulder and took her inside, away from her now drunken father.
This is the story of a unique woman, July Ejike. Born in Nigeria, West Africa.

CLASSICAL MUSLIMAH
"So I was just a pawn in your game." "Why did you choose politics over me and mummy?" "Aisha that's not true." "Then what's true? Tell me what is true! The only truth here is that you've been feeding me lies all my life! I thought you loved me, turns out it's all politics." "I do." "I see. That's why you got me married based on lies, separated me from my maternal family based on lies and took Abulkhair in, based on lies." * Politics is a dirty game, but you won't know that this is true until you're in the center of it all, until you're a pawn in its wicked game, until you're the queen in its crazy twisted game of chess. Eesh didn't believe the saying, heck she didn't even know the saying existed, until she was surrounded by it, until she became the queen in her father's wicked game of chess, until she realized that her whole life was a sick game of politics, a sick lie! * Politics is a game full of secrets. Secrets can't be kept hidden without the use of political tactics, and politics can't be done without having dirty secrets. Alhaji Muhammad knew that, which was why he fed his daughter lies, why he kept everything a secret from her, why he pushed her into a marriage she wasn't supposed to be in. * Politics, lies, deciet, secrets, love, heartbreak and more politics, all for the CLASSICAL MUSLIMAH.

All he was asked to do was pick and drop. But from the moment he heard her name, he knew she was trouble. He hated being indebted to anyone.
