Through my lens is a look at sofeya’s like through her own perspective, as Sofeya takes the reader through her memory lane. She recounts all the hardships she endured through out the years.
“ It was a fateful afternoon. I received the bad news of my father's demise. My mother and I had just gotten back from school, talking about my day's activities in the living area of our house when my mother suddenly got a call. A singular phone call changed the course of my life forever, a singular call detailing my father's gruesome death.”
“ My father was buried the next day according to islamic rites, I could only watch helplessly as my father's body was lowered into the ground and told I would never see him again.
The next few days were different people came to pay their respect to my mother and me, then came a day I dreaded.”
Highlighting the problems of not been educated, the gross practices that affects the girl child(child marriages), gender based discrimination.
“You see I am Nigerian in a continent called Africa, this was a typical circumstance when a man dies. The family members of the man(mostly male) would seek claims on his fortune even if he had an heir ( male child) but in my mother's case she had no male child, just me, a girl. She would not be giving a bit or assistance to take care of us but in her case she was not giving even a single dime. Although my father had a Will in place (since he was an educated man) my mother's lack of education sadly was our downfall”.
