Akunjieri Ezenwanyi Anne Ihunna

Akunjieri is a literary construction which attempts to portray an allegory of violence and repressive realities which confront the girl-child in most economies of the third world countries. Akunjieri, bedeviled by misfortune of loss of her parents at tender age, became assailed by torrents of unpredictable and persistent barrage of wickedness. Being born of the roots of honesty and nobility, her intrinsic virtuous resourcefulness was tried, without doubt, to the extremes. Her triumph lends a loud credence to the very nature that begot her. Through perseverance, she overcame her fears, doubts and troubles; and, ultimately, assumed the height of crowning glory over all her assailants. Even so, this book underpins the need for more, thorough and robust regulations in respect of the administrations of foster homes and, more particularly, the protection, welfare and education of the girl-child in a world of increasing patriachal leanings prejudiced by hypocritical approach to justice delivery.
