Agush Nyang

Agush Nyang: Still Here is a raw, unfiltered story of survival, loss, betrayal, faith, crime, love, and relentless resilience.

Born and raised in utter hardship, and pushed to the margins of society, Isaac Agumba tells the brutal truth in this story of a young boy growing up unwanted in rural Kenya, but barely surviving such horrors. Against impossible odds, the boy in Agush Nyang rises academically, only to be met again and again by poverty, exploitation, systemic injustice, and his own destructive choices.

From slums and shanties to university halls, from banking jobs to fraud, from faith to fury, from love to loss, this book pulls no punches. It exposes the uncomfortable realities of modern African life: corruption, desperation, masculinity, sex, crime, ambition, and the thin line between survival and self-destruction.

This is not a story polished for comfort.

It is a confession.

A record.

A rebellion against silence.
