Azawani the Hood of a Mentor is a mentorship book that injects hope to the hopeless and faith unto the downtrodden and the stigmatized of society. Elizabeth was born to a poor slave and stigmatized couple-Ibe and Ulo. They had prayed to God to give them a child as they had become objects of mockery and ridicule, being that they were termed barren and forsaken. At an old age, they had Elizabeth.
Azawani was a rich woman who was highly revered and respected by the people; moreover, she had royal blood in her. She had no child of her own. She was a close friend and ally to the poor couple, and that did not go down well with her family and the entire community because slaves are not free to mingle with the freeborn. Azawani never cared what people said about them. She kept encouraging the couple.
When Elizabeth was born, the couple asked Azawani to adopt her. She named her Elizabeth, after the Queen of England, peeping into a future of possibilities and excellence concerning the newborn baby. Azawani tutored the poor girl on wealth-creation strategy, discipline, multiple streams of income, and positive self-esteem.
The society was never kind at all to the couple and their innocent child, Elizabeth. Their stigmatization continued until the poor couple and Azawani passed on, leaving the poor girl all alone in this wicked world. It was devastating to her, but she kept reminding herself of all that she learned under Azawani's tutelage-she had taught her resilience, courage, and not waiting until life stops hurting before choosing to be happy. Though it was tough for her, she kept faith.
Before Azawani passed, she willed all her wealth and treasure to her goddaughter, Elizabeth, secretly through one of her secret friends who lived in a faraway village. With specific instructions from Azawani, wealth was mysteriously handed over to Elizabeth-thus Elizabeth became very rich and powerful so that foreign investors travelled from far and near to partner with her. Through her, Ifite kingdom witnessed super development with modern-day state-of-the-art infrastructure.
