On the bustling streets of Nigeria, Rilwan’s journey begins with a heartache - the loss of his parents which was shrouded in secrecy. As a result, he finds himself under the thumb of his cruel aunt, Aunty Biliki, who thrusts him into the unforgiving world of street hawking. Amidst the chaos, a twist of fate introduces him to the enigmatic Saka Pepper, a man whose role in Rilwan’s life is as uncertain as it is transformative. With a shared love for the pulsating beats of fuji music, Pepper becomes the unexpected mentor Rilwan never knew he needed. As Rilwan navigates the complexities of street life and the allure of the fuji music scene, he discovers that the road, indeed, does not end. It is a path filled with adversity, friendship, and the rhythm of a culture that refuses to be silenced. Will Rilwan’s resilience lead him to the life he yearns for, or will the streets claim his dreams?The Road Does Not End is an emotional and heart-wrenching tale of a young boy’s journey through loss, abandonment, and the search for belonging. With vivid storytelling and compelling characters, it showcases the power of friendship, the strength of the human spirit, and the determination to overcome adversity. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized children and the importance of compassion and empathy. S. Su’eddie Vershima Agema, multiple award-winning author of Memory and the Call of Waters (Winner, Association of Nigerian Authors Poetry Prize 2022 and Finalist, Nigeria Prize for Literature 2022)
