Under 168 Hours is a Nigerian, Islamic teen coming-of-age story to teach self-love and love for humanity.
It revolves around Humaira; an incredibly broken teenager with scars that run deep breath her facade and Zainab, her junior sister, who is an adolescent with a mature mind and seemingly carefree personality.
Two very sisters with similar passions and the same goals in life, but as time passes through they are like different hells that will quench only if they help each other... Will they struggle together or end up burning, Alone?... It started with both girls only having 168 hours to save their dying mother from the hands of death but what happens when death itself faced them in the form of a challenge? How would these girls struggle every day just to make it in life?
Under 168 Hours talks openly about stuff no one wants to talk about; Relationships with God, Orphans and how they survive, mental health, bullying, abuse, rape, disorders, depression, insecurity and so much more.
Secrets will be exposed, bonds will be broken, and with it, the feeling of freedom will finally be felt.
Join Humaira and Zainab in this one hell of a ride. There would be drama, romance, fights, envy, struggle, and so much more.

"Sarauniya!" I said almost loudly but not enough for my friend Bilal to hear, "who is she?"
"Aaliyah. She's the late Alhaji Mujib's daughter. " Bilal said seeming uninterested with the topic.
"Ina gidan su?" I asked, sounding a bit like a crazy stalker.
"Ka kamu da ciwon so ko?" He asked as a smile spreads across his face, "They live in Asokoro district. Remember Aunty Shamsiyya? The place isn't far from your habibty's home too."
"Ok, thank you. Allah ya maka albarka."
"Let me know when to be expecting an invitation card." Hamza said while trying to stifle his laughter but fails woefully and I smack him on his arm as payback, joining him to laugh too.
I wanted to follow her and speak to her but I heard the music start, signaling the commencement of Bilal's cousin Nadiya and her groom; Saleem's overpriced dinner party for both families.
