Item description from the seller

In Africa, particularly Nigeria, where multidimensional poverty is rife, the majority of households spend over 60% of their earnings on food. The author’s upbringing as a privileged child siloed her from the realities of the teeming school-aged population like her until the loss of her father at age 11 turned things around. So Far So Foza offers a gripping narrative on the significant difference between living a life of abundance to an excruciating life in poverty.

From a private kindergarten to a Nigerian Ivy League-grade university, the author is deeply immersed in privilege, born to accomplish a great purpose and seize the opportunities elite education affords. But somewhere in the journey, she becomes enmeshed in a life of lack, compelling her to choose between seeing herself within the lens of familial constraints and charting her own course to greatness, one move at a time.

Despite the free-flowing nature of her narrative, the author’s story is commonplace: People born in privilege fall out of it and hustle their way back up with minimal external assistance. But her feelings about her own coming of age are unique. She has gone through a process of love to hate, insufficiency to abundance and acrimony to clemency. The author sheds countless burdens at different points during her journey towards fulfilling her life’s purpose, probing into hers and our perceptions of others — even those we choose to ignore — and how we present ourselves to the outside world.
