WHAT A LIFE (Nigeria Story)
INTRODUCTION OF WHAT A LIFE! (...the fights of a lonely woman). The story is a Nigeria base one. It's about a girl, whose been left alone in this world to suffer! Her parents and siblings were victims of an accident on their way to visit her in her boarding school. The girl, passed through hell and was even raped, accused and humiliated in different ways. Life was tho on her and just when she gave up and turned bad, life smiled on her! It is truly, the life of a lonely woman! 😣 The strange question is, was life waiting on her to turn bad or was it just her fate/destiny? Funny question but that's a fact tho. Most persons found peace just when they've given up on fighting. ________________________ Ranking #2 on courtcase for more than two months now. Now ranking #2 for maltreatment for 7days.
