Ogun State: The Bleeding Rocks



When Adesola (not real name) gained admission to study Accounting at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun state in 2010 her joy knew no bounds. The last two years have been challenging for the family. Right after she finished her secondary school education in 2008 she lost her father to the cold hands of death and the responsibility to cater for her needs and that of her only brother was automatically placed on her mother. Even though things were not so bad for the family as the income for sustenance was being generated from the medium sized stationery store built by the father few months before his death, the fear of placing the whole responsibility on her mum and the unending accusation and counter accusation from family members especially from her paternal linage on the possibility of her mother being responsible for the death of her father was unbearable and traumatic. So even though she was offered admission in 2009, she deferred.
