Tatase:

By Second Chance, do you mean the JSCE novel where the girl gets pregnant at university and has twins? And someone is called Mina and one of the twins is called Miatta (sp?) or something?
@Has the name of the twins changed?cos in my time,one of the twins name was TOBOLAYEFE.

Ndipe:


Is the name of the novel, Second chance? The story of a girl from a very rich family, who gives birth to twin girls, one is named Miatta. Her mother's snottiness forces the husband to pack out of the family with one of the twins, (Miatta) whom she would reunite with seven years later. Yeah, the last name of the husband was "Essien."

The Husband's name was Richard Pepple.

There's this novel about a young man named Felix Oni working for a same-aged boss with whom he has an affair after his girlfriend - Nurse Joy begins to display plenty rubbish. Can't remember the name of the book.

Anyone knows this?
