It was all good, everything was going steady 

They all had dreams, big ones that mere men didn't dare to dream and for sure they were going to achieve that, because their father gave them that assurance 

A family tightly knitted that nobody could tear apart.

Until one day everything came crashing, 

one death, two debts

And somehow ADANNA found herself as the sacrificial lamb.

My two cents on ADANNA by Adesuwa Oman

We all had seen situations like that play in real life, how fast a life that was mapped out can come crashing.

It gets tough but we figure it out right???

That wasn't the case of ADANNA.

Some chapter will make you shed a tear

Some will make you gape 

Some will make you close the book, put your hands on your head and breath 

Some will make you drink water to digest what you just read 

But come to think of it, do people really suffer like that in real life because ADANNA was too young to go through all that 

A 16 year old bride, abandoned by all, surrounded by enemies and monsters.

But adanna still fell in love over and over again, the indaboski in me was like “baby girl won't you rest”

It got to a point you'll pray for her to have a happy moment.

A 16 year old bride who had to satisfy both father and son.

Got beaten up to pulp and stripped naked several times for the whole world to see

And object of beauty taken to public gatherings just to garner favour by her “old enough to be a grand father” husband 

Advised by a domestic worker who was secretly envying her spot as the wife 

Her love killed by her husband 

ADANNA beauty was more of a blessing than a curse and she just wanted a good life but the universe gave her 20 years of trauma.

If you're in the mood to cry, gasp and shake your head because of the trauma and plot twist
