FIB - VOICES AFRICA "I was just 10 years when I saw the Shawshank redemption. From then on I was free. Growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Ajegunle in Nigeria, we never visited anywhere else but the outer fringes of our “povertyhood” and what I saw and touched daily formed the hope I had for my future. Walking out of Baba Lati’s house that afternoon, I felt a rush of blood to my head, I felt a hunger to conquer my world and grow bigger than my re"...
