THE ROCKET

  • THE ROCKET

    ByMoyo Okediji

    I met a young woman living in Nigeria online more than ten years ago.

    We became friends and exchanged lots of chats.

    She had just graduated with a degree in engineering.

    She couldn’t get a job.

    I watched her struggle for many years.

    A really gorgeous woman transformed into a shell of herself.

    Her mother fell ill.

    She began to live with her married sister.

    She fell ill.
