concerning the story. it's totally right about the environment the kid is growing in. I saw this post on Facebook one day and it said... If You are born in New Bell ( Douala, Cameroon) know that life is winning you of 1-0. Meaning life is hard and really not easy there.
somehow, viewing from a wide range, for You to become a man in My culture You need to practice (nyangnyang) it's somehow a whole process of initiation and acceptance.
