With an ever-increasing number of young Africans diving into the unknown each year, in search of a better life abroad, Segun Adeniyi’s From Frying Pan to Fire could not have come at a better time. Through their often heart-rending tales of woe, Adeniyi weaves a powerful and compelling narrative, made all the more intense by the poignant, personal account of one of these dream seekers, the author’s own younger brother. From Frying Pan to Fire, brings to bear on a subject that has become a scourge of our time, well-deserved attention as well as a sense of urgency.
