A Woman’s Broken Wall

written by Sammy Oke Akombi

A Woman’s Broken Wall is an exploration of human relationship and the role of providence in the circumstances. Yola was born in Moki in Sogalan by a single mother who was forced by geo-political circumstances to move to Femam, Poundeya, her homeland. This single mother eventually gets married but at ten Yola sniffs that her mother’s husband was only a stepfather to her. This realization made her leave home at such a tender age. This enabled her to mature very quickly, preparing her for a future full of uncertainties. She navigates through them to face up to her broken wall . “A Scintillating story of Mrs. Yola Abanda, the first female Poundeyan to pilot an aircraft. She is trapped in a furious tug-of-war between Vice and Virtue. Read on and find out for yourself where her sympathies lay.” The Post Newspaper “An artist at his best in the edification of womanhood.” Media Afrique Radio
