About
Summary
In The Road to Barewa, the seeds of ambition planted in a small northern village take root in unexpected soil. Ahmed’s journey toward higher education unfolds alongside the story of Bamiyo and Folasade Moses, a devout, conflicted couple whose values mirror the nation’s own struggle between tradition and progress.
As Ahmed earns his place at the prestigious Barewa College, his dreams intertwine with the legacies of his elders, their faith, failures, and forbidden desires. From the gentle strength of mothers to the quiet rebellion of men seeking freedom from religious rigidity, The Road to Barewa captures a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s post-colonial awakening, where every decision tests the thin line between conviction and compromise. A deeply human continuation of The Inspector’s Visit, this second book in Seeds of Learning brings history and emotion together in a story of destiny, discipline, and the unyielding pursuit of a better life.
