Commenting on what motivated her to name the book “BeGone”, Temi Taiwo-Oni explained that BeGone is a wordplay on Be Gone and Begun. She attributed the essence of the title to Araba Cole, the main character of the story, who wanted to be gone from the unsavory situation she had found herself in, and the new chapter which began for her when life threw a change of circumstances at her.
Speaking further, Temi Taiwo-Oni explained that the story “BeGone” encapsulates the story of human experiences and how the world’s view of what is right or logical might not be entirely easy or logical to do.
She said: It’s a story that tells the public they are not alone in the fixes they find themselves in. There are people out there who understand. It’s a story to train the minds of the public to look beyond the ordinary at those around them, and be of help as much as they can to support them.”
