Oyinbo Karimu

Oyinbo Karimu is a memoir. A self-help book that can change the life of anybody who lays their hands on it if they allow it. I spent 13 years of my life on Karimu Street, a rural area along the axis of Ojuelegba. Raised by a single mum and her grandparents, I had to grow up fast. And with this growth came a lot of knowledge that I don’t think is mine alone to keep. I have gone ahead to share this knowledge with the hope that it will better the lives of the people who come in contact with the book.

In this book, I talked about what it means to be raised in the ghetto and how I navigated it; I talked about how my faith carried me through so much and how I came about the faith; I talked about my encounter with abuse, I talked about motherhood and friendship and so much more.
