About this book

Summary

Growing up in a crowded neighborhood in Lagos, a determined young boy learns early that survival is not enough. Dignity, discipline, and hope must be fought for daily. Raised by a resilient mother after his father’s quiet absence, he navigates poverty, street hustle, academic disappointment, temptation, and exhaustion while chasing a future bigger than his environment. Through mentorship, self-education, and relentless consistency, he slowly transforms small opportunities into stability. As progress brings new pressures and setbacks, he learns that true success is not escape, but growth, responsibility, and integrity. Told with intimate voice and vivid realism, this coming-of-age story captures the quiet courage of Nigerian youth striving to build a life beyond limitation.
