Overview

Kelvin left home not for adventure but to stay alive. A young graduate engineer from an ancient city in Africa's most populous nation-where bad governance and a broken economy left graduates like him without work or means to survive-he travelled through tough, unforgiving borderlands into Morocco, learning that survival is a choice made a thousand times. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, on a wooden boat packed with migrants, the engine coughed once and died. Night closed in. Waves climbed the gunwales. Fear tipped the boat as surely as the swell. Kelvin counted heads, shifted weight, tied what could be tied, sealed what could be sealed, and kept people bailing. His training-angles, load, fuel, water-turned panic into tasks. Minutes became hours. The ocean tried to take them. It almost did. Detained in Fuerteventura and Melilla, abandoned in Madrid and rescued by strangers who became family, he kept moving until temporary papers turned into a future. Like so many, he was pushed out by a system that fails its people, where talent is wasted and staying can cost you everything. This tale is not fiction but testimony: deserts that burn by day and freeze by night; borders, boats and papers that can save or destroy; moments when a single choice decides everything. It traces Kelvin's path from his hometown, Africa's most populous nation, through Morocco, Spain, and, finally, the United Kingdom-a fight for life, dignity, and the right to belong. Between hope and drowning, Kelvin chose to live-for those who never reached the shore and those still on the road. Start reading now to walk beside a journey that refuses to end at the border.
