    Obiamaka Azubike: A Survivor, Never A Victim
    Dec 29 2022
    When Obiamaka was viciously assaulted by a group of her classmates 18 years ago, and then thoroughly let down by the school administration and stakeholders who were supposed to protect her, her life could have gone down a very different and much darker path.

    All these years later, Obi is fiercely fighting to bring attention to the alarming rate of child sexual assault in Nigeria's secondary schools while valiantly holding on to all the elements of her nature that keep her sane and make her the wonderful human that her friends and family know and love.
