Fahmida Khan, the writer for Pambazuka News, reviews Tina Okpara’s eye-opening memoir ‘My Life has a Price’. Pambazuka News is a pan-African community dedicated to the promotion of social justice in Africa. Here is an excerpt of the review:

They want freedom and independence. However, this is the irony of Tina’s story.”
