About this title

Sani and Helen are students of the same university in the predominantly Muslim, northern Nigerian state of Kano. Sani defends Helen, when she was being chastised in school and eventually the two came to fall in love. To fledge in their new found love however, they must face the strong obstacles that confront them, the resistance of their respective parents to inter-religious marriages, and a society where deep religious and ethnic differences are rife and, would only require the minutes of provocation to flair up passions.
