Whenever Tomorrow Comes explores the journey of Igbuan from his birth in a remote Nigerian village through the highs and lows experienced by young people whose only option is to play by the rules in a country riddled with corruption. While his brilliance leads him to major scholastic accomplishments, Igbuan learns at an early age that hard work and merit are not enough to grant him the benefits that he has rightly earned. Each of the challenges he encounters would ordinarily be sufficient to kill the ambitions of even the most enthusiastic of dreamers, but he perseveres. Igbuan eventually earns the university education that he seeks while still uncertain about what the future holds for him.
