Mere looking at the Ajileye's family from outside, one would believe it is the type of family everybody should pray for. No doubt, the family was a very happy family, and the kids hardly ask for things before they get it. The parents are very loving and caring in their own little way. Although, the way they loved and cared for their 3 children is not the way a good and true parents would take care of their children. Mrs. Kemi Ajileye was a good wife, and also a good mother. She personally cooked her family's food and pack the children's food in their lunch bag before rushing out of the house at 6am. She was a banker with high prospect and great ambitions, and there is every tendency that she might be promoted to the post of the Branch Manager if she could just get above her target for 6 consecutive months. Before the prospect of she being promoted came, she leaves the house around 7am, but since one of her bosses tipped her of the likely promotion, she decided to always get to work early. Meaning, she would wake up early, get the kids ready for school early, but she knew she could not take the kids to school so early. Also, she knew she would have to go to the office every weekend, and that made her hire a house help. Mr. Collins Ajileye on the other hand was a businessmen who deals with importation of electronics into the country and he had several shops in different parts of the country. He was also a reknowed politician whose political aspiration was to become a Honorable at the Federal House. Mr. Collins was so interested in his political ambition that he didn't even object when his wife suggested them getting the service of a house help. "Just make sure you hire from a reliable source, and let me know how much is required". Mr. Collins told his wife before he answered an incoming call on his phone that very day.
Shola, Keji and Ayodele were the children of the Ajileyes. Shola was a 15 year old girl who just got promoted to SS3. As a young girl, she has been faced with series of challenges from guys in her school, and also in their street. She actually took after her mother both in look and body stature. Although Shola is 15, but one would never know because she was so bursty and big at that tender age. Guys has been running after her, or better still, after what they can get from her. At her age, Shola has been in two different relationships. She is currently in a relationship with one of her classmates, while her ex-boyfriend broke up with her because she refused to have sex with him, eventhough they both have done all sorts of improper things together before the guy, who was her senior then when she was in SS2 broke up with her by writing her a letter. Keji is an 11 years old girl in JSS 2, while Ayodele just clocked 6. All these kids were entrusted into the hands of Pamilerin, a 19 year old girl who finished secondary school about two years ago, and has been doing menial jobs since then because her grandmother could not afford her tertiary education. Although, they don't lack anything, but they they have all learnt to survive on their own and have been given an over-dose of freedom right from a very tender age. Shola had been saddled with the responsibility of taking care of her siblings, and to answer their various questions, eventhough she herself had series of questions to ask concerning her boyfriend, her Menstrual Cycle, etc.
