It Goes On Forever is a fictionalized true story of the first love between Eweji and Ronke in a small community in West Africa.
Eweji was named Tunde at birth according to Yoruba culture, but when he survived a near fatal illness at about ten years of age, an old woman friend of the family renamed him Eweji, again strictly in accordance to the culture of his people. The new name stuck, and he and Ronke, the girl next door, enjoyed a non-biological brother-sister relationship until they fell in love, to the joy of the entire community.
Unexpectedly, an arrogant rich boy, Kunle, came between the two lovers, relying totally on his inherited wealth to do exactly what he wanted, either to flirt with Ronke or keep her to himself forever. Did he succeed, and how did the rude interruption affect Eweji over time?
The novel is complete at 42,000 words.
