Without access to education and not willing to get married for money, Cordelia chose to join in the area boys at the age of 15. She was the first girl in the group. Cordelia worked hard and lived in a disciplined life to become stronger. In the street fightings, she proved her ability - she can fight as brutally as a man, and even smarter than some of them. She leads a group, the only one which accept girls, providing protection to an area, called Oorun (meaning Sun in Yoruba), where has three important intersections of the public bridges. Cordelia’s group takes charge of collecting the tolls and guaranteeing the access.
