A short story base loosely on true events... it tells the story of a young man called Akin and his struggle to bring up his nine siblings alone after the death of their mother.


A tearjerker that will give you the insight to what life is like for a struggling African growing up in a typical Nigerian society.


After their father abandons their mother for a younger woman, Akin takes charge of his nine siblings with what little money his mother earned as a food seller. 

But when she passes away to an unknown illness, the responsibility for the young fourteen years old boy grows a hundred fold.
