faith to believe and worship in becomes life-threatening. Samaila’s father is a
Muslim and his mother a Christian. And when sectarian crisis is witnessed in

just to be on the safe side, then he is abducted to wreck havoc in River
Jamitha. In ‘Iska: Asabe!’ Asabe is obsessed with some group of Christian Corps
members serving their fatherland in Kofar, a Muslim community. She takes the
risk to rescue the Corps members when they become a target of post election
crisis. He lives in the slum and hawks along the busy roads of Lagos. Ade and
his neighbour’s son, Toah—a twelve-year-old are eking out a living when the

Ndu and Sarko escape to Bamako, Mali on their way to Europe through the
death-trap Sahara desert. Do they make it? These and more are what transpired
