From the grassy plains of Northern Nigeria to the swampy areas in South; two souls battled their way towards their destinies and struggled to overcome the obstacles placed in their paths.
With a pinch of romance,a bucket of humour,a pint of self love, spiritual and personal growth and of course family drama;nothing is impossible.
(Don't let this fool you ,I usually write better than this.Writing descriptions just happens to be the bane of my existence )
*this is more of a story of self discovery than it is a love story *

Puberty
At night, the older sisters stayed up all night and usually talked about boys. They talked about some things that were not making sense. Their younger sister was just going through the early stages of puberty and would eavesdrop at every conversation. The process for her became hard, a comedy, dramatic and a journey of exploration as well as experimenting. ************* This is a true to life tale, of what most girls experience during the time they hit puberty. The sex education is never just enough and will never be enough but it becomes a complex bunch of curiosity.Complete

When Silence Breaks (Hausa Story)
They say a woman's success means nothing if she doesn't end up married. I used to laugh at that. Quietly. The kind of laughter that doesn't escape your lips, because you don't have time for arguments that go nowhere. My name is Ibtihal. I'm twenty-eight. I have two degrees, a corner office in Abuja, and enough money to make my own choices - or so I thought. But in a house where my mother prays more for my marriage than for my health, and my father treats every holiday like a matchmaking summit, my silence eventually became an agreement. Not because I was in love. Not even because I believed in the institution. But because I was tired. Tired of being the "too focused" one. The "still not married" one. The "career is not companionship" one. So I said yes. To a man I didn't know. A man who barely looked at me during the introduction. A man who, as I later found out, had someone else waiting for him - someone he actually loved. But he said yes too, because his uncle - the man who raised him after he lost his parents - asked him to. A year, we agreed. A year of pretending. No expectations. No intimacy. No emotional strings. Just two people performing tradition so the noise would stop. And I was fine with that. More than fine, actually. I didn't want love. I didn't want mess. I wanted space to breathe and be left alone. But then, something changed. It wasn't dramatic. There were no candlelit moments or sudden heartbeats. It was subtle - the way he started looking at me like I wasn't just a deal. The way my name sounded different coming from his lips. The way I began to notice his silence... and miss it when it wasn't there. I didn't mean to fall. And I don't think he meant to either. But here we are - trapped in a marriage neither of us wanted... now tangled in feelings neither of us planned for. And for the first time in my life, I'm not so sure I want to be left alone anymore.
