I was raised in Èkó’s depths, shaped by the sands of a lake reclaimed from the river’s embrace. Nurtured with unwavering devotion and the hope of brighter tomorrows, I became thrice versed in law, navigating the treacherous floods to emerge as a survivor. The streets where I grew, from girl to woman, are etched into my soul, a badge of honor I wear proudly.
