The Rhythm of Reckoning

The Rhythm of Reckoning" tells the story of Emmanuel, or Emmi as his friends call him, a young Nigerian guy on the verge of graduating secondary school. It's that crazy, exciting, scary time when everything feels like it's about to change. Emmi's got his crew, especially his best friend Pius, and they're thick as thieves, sharing jokes, dreams, and their own brand of "gee wisdom" street smarts mixed with youthful bravado. But beneath the surface, Emmi's wrestling with things all young men grapple with: girls, faith, and figuring out who he's supposed to be. He's got a reputation, let's just say, and experiences with different women from girls in his neighborhood to even some of his teachers but these encounters aren't just about fun and games. They start to weigh on him, forcing him to look at the consequences of his actions and what it means to grow up. "The Rhythm of Reckoning" is about that journey, that messy, complicated, and ultimately human search for your place in the world, set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos and the final, fleeting moments of youth. It's about friendship, love, regret, and the sometimes painful process of discovering what "God's time" really means.
