Second Chance (Inspired by True Event)Updated at Sep 12, 2026, 07:57
Oluwatofunmi Makinde, the twin sister to Oluwatolani. A well trained Ondo girl living in Lagos. She lived with her grandma after her father passed away and her mother abandoned them.
She was a poor, but bright child. The type every parent wished they had.
Her world shattered when her grandma kicked the bucket and she and her sister had to struggle with life ahead of them with no family to raise them like every other girls dream.
Despite the struggle Tofunmi was always there for her sister, ready to make certain sacrifices so her sister doesn't think she's alone.
Then came the day she wasn't expecting. Her sister introducing an unknown woman to her as their mother. The woman was no one but Ibukunoluwa Makinde The wife to late Ajayi Makinde and their own mother.
The test result said it all but Tofunmi wasn't willing to let a woman who had left them 15 years ago return to their lives just because they had no one to look up to as family. However she put her own needs aside to let her sister get in touch with their mother and soon they started living together as family.
Big mistake.
Then, strange things started happening. The girls money for their lesson fee went missing, the way ibukun refuse to contribute to the house upkeep and food stuff but still eat inside whatever little the girls were meant to manage for themselves,the men who came to visit ibukun in her room while the girls were present and absent .
Their mother's lifestyle (smoking, drinking and putting on tarty clothes)To make matter worst than it already is, ibukun went as far as trading the girls into prostitution in the excuse of "We need the money to survive".
Tolani and her sister were able to escape with the help of Ayomide. Tolani's classmate and secret admirer. Then her body couldn't hold the countless times of staying hungry and she found herself in the hospital battling with Severe anemia and immune system collapse.
The chances are slim but she won't give up without a fight. Not just for herself but for Tolani.
