I MADE IT THROUGH

What if you had to flee your country-the only home you have ever known-leaving your parents behind and taking with you the young siblings you were charged to protect? Bukky Olarewaju Agboola was faced with this terrifying obstacle as a young woman, fresh from college graduation. She knew she had to protect her siblings and to do so, she would have to leave Nigeria. In the early 1980s, military forces overthrew the Nigerian government, took power, and shook the nation. The ensuing economic and political shift would affect her family forever as they struggled to survive in a country embroiled in turmoil.
