About The Book

Adolescent pregnancy is a worldwide phenomenon that plagues young adults.

LAGOS ON SATURDAY is a blend of heartbreaking and insightful read, armed with helping the world get to the end of the trauma pregnant teens have to suffer from the society.

Jessica was a victim of circumstances; thinking she had probably gulped too much of the Fridays and Sundays rice and chicken the good religious people gave, Jessica decided to give her food to the other children. Her stomach refused to stop growing until a bloody, squirming creature crawled out of her body.

A few hours later, Jessica was nursing and loving the skinny creature that was her child. Saddled with the responsibility of raising a child, Jessica had to dance to a new beat. For all her troubles, scorn was her reward.

Amidst agony and misery, the story centers on her travails through the chaotic, dramatic and painful years of mothering a child on the streets. Along with her child, Jessica conceived a notion to grow beyond the boundaries society had set for her.

Little did she know that her children were the noose the society wrung around her neck.

How far is Jessica willing to go? Would she rather hang herself or cut off the rope? The answers and more lie in the pages of LAGOS ON SATURDAY.
