HER MOTHER’S ADVICE ???
EPISODE SEVENTEEN ??
Written by Onomi aka Princess Joanna??
Bunmi was so devastated, she didn’t know what to do or who to turn to, she was crying bitterly in silence.
Yakubu had left her with just the 5,000 naria, the money he gave her for foodstuff. Their rent is due and her shop is almost empty , she thought.
How could she not know Yakubu after all this years together. The promises he made to her and her son, all the things they shared together. Despite the warning from her mother she refuse to listen to what people said and follow Yakubu ‘
She remembered discussing with her friend Sarah about her decision to go and live with Yakubu .
Sarah advised her not to listen to him and told her she may regret it…because her mum was willing to train her and take care of the baby despite all that has happened but she didn’t heed to Sarah’s advise. See where the Journey of love has brought her to…
Most of her classmate back in school has entered into the University and things were going on well for them.
She was so deep in thought that she doesn’t hear someone knocking at the door.
