'A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing, it is either something is chasing it or it is chasing something. I have not committed any crime and cannot remember owing anyone. Ten of the Chief Priests can come to my house, I’m not perturbed.'Emma concluded before he responded to the greeting.“I greet you, Chief Priest. What do I owe this visit?” He requested angrily.“Mr. Aaron, I greet you, and I also bring you greetings from the gods of our land.”Said Chief Priest after he walked into his hut. He was holding his ofor – a symbol of power and authority, which was calved from a wood. He wore a red cap with numerous eagle feathers, which indicated his present and past achievements.Meanwhile, Mr. Aaron was seating in his hut when the Chief Priest walked in. His sitting position in the hut was conspicuous, and no one dared to sit on it, whether in his presence or absence. Now, the Chief Priest dragged the small wooden chair in the hut and sat close to him. Then, Emma responded.“Y

“You see! You all are my witnesses, it's not just me who knew about the land. So, how can we allow that small community to snatch away such massive land from us?" The leader of the group who had his selfish interest in engaging in the battle said. He raised a war song, which others chorused and matched to the land of Umuezune.“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”With this pro-war song, he led the five hundred and fifty-two trained warriors of Umuaku into Umuezune land. Now, the youths of Umuezune were not prepared. Even if they were, they were not as strong as their opponents, neither were they equal to them in number.To their dismay, the smaller community defeated them, despite their weapons and their trained warriors. They died in their hundreds. Since then, the community respected Ikenga and its Chief Priest. That was the clear meaning of the Ibo proverbs that says:'A cow without tail; its god chases away flies on its behalf.'Now, the mighty had fallen because the

Then, Emma repeated the Chief Priest’s story to her, without adding or subtracting any information from what he told him.“What is the meaning of this problem? Why will this man be creating problems for himself and the people around him?”Now, Emma, who was fuming with anger, kept mute. Although, his wife was not happy either, but she had to be strong at least.“I think it is appropriate to inform his children.”His wife advised. However, Emma, who had not thought of that, heaved a sigh of relief. Even though informing his children may not yield any results, but at least he had acted.“I think you are right, Obidiya. I have not thought of that, but I will contact the children as soon as possible. It is said that the anger of a brother does not get to the bone. In any case, he is still my brother.”Emma claimed before he asked his wife after he had calmed down.“How was it at the farm today?” “It was fine. I did the little I can and started coming back home after I noticed that you w

Now, Evans bent his head over, not sure of how he felt. Was Beck's death really painful to him, or was he worried because it all took place in his house? Could he have avoided it by acting that faithful day and send him away. Sending him away would have given him a bad reputation because he hurt his father-in-law, but it would have saved the situation? It would have saved him a lot of trouble, too. Besides, what would he gain if he had a good reputation before him?After a while, Sarah walked back to the sitting room and sat beside her husband, who was lost in thought.“Your food is ready. Have your meal first, we will worry about the dead later.”She hinted and interrupted his thoughts. Nobody seemed to be mourning except him or rather regretting. Now, Mama had been calm since the doctor pronounced her erstwhile husband dead. She wished it did not happen through her, as the incident had reminded her of how her life had been a life of hardship. However, Evans was still sitting t

George hissed before he returned to his room. When Sarah heard that her uncle, Emma, was around, she got off the bed, dressed up and followed her husband. Now, George had let the guest in according to his father's expectations. They walked to the sitting room and met him seated.“My in-law. I greet you.”Evans, who wondered how he got the news of his brother's death greeted. Then, Emma, who was tired from his trip and was resting his head on the headrest of the couch, jolted and responded.“I greet you, my in-law. I hope you are good?”“As you can see, we are good. I hope your trip was not stressful?”“Welcome, Uncle Emma. How was your trip?”Sarah, who was standing beside her husband, greeted before he could respond to Evans's question.“My trip was smooth, my in-law.”Then, he looked at Sarah, spoke.“My trip was fine, Sarah. What of your mother, Ugo. I guess she is here with you?”Now, Sarah cast her husband a knowing glance before she proceeded to the guest room to fetch her mothe

Now, the three looked at each, and mama's countenance changed. Mr. Emma noticed the gloominess on their faces and asked.“What is the matter? I hope he had not harmed any of the children with the charm?”At that instance, Evans sat up from his couch and narrated how he got a call from him that Monday Morning. At last, mama summarized how he died in the early hours of that day. After listening to their stories, he looked at Evans and inquired.“Did I hear you say you planned to send him to India for treatment?”Evans, who was not aware that he was being sarcastic, responded with enthusiasm“Yes, my in-law. As a matter of urgency, he would have been transferred the next day if not for the absence of the required documents.”Then, Uncle Emma shook his head in dejection and inquired rhetorically.“So, after wasting his life during his youth, he wanted to reap where he did not sow by manipulating his daughter and her husband?”'Is that all he would say?'Sarah, who hoped to hear her uncle

“Comfortable. She shouldn't have bothered herself. I was already comfortable. Thereafter, I rested my head to sleep, and Ugo tapped me and said we are in Enugu, it was like a magic.”“It was not a magic. All the same, shall we be going?”Afterwards, they boarded an Airport Taxi which took them to the village, and they settled down at Mr. Emma's house. Obidiya who did not go to the farm was surprised to see the team by that time of the morning.At Mr. Evans Owens's House.Now, he was stable and did not allow his problem to come between him and his family again“Welcome back, Evans.”Sarah greeted when she walked to the door to open the door for him.“Thank you, dear. What is your program like today?”“I planned to go to the bank and make the necessary payments for George's admission.”“That is good. We will go together. Thereafter, I will see my lawyer.”“That will be nice.”Now, they set out to go out and George and Lilian were to stay at home alone.“Take care of the house, George. W

“Oh! Thank you, barrister. That would be some other time.”“It is all right. Have a pleasant day.”The couple walked out of his office happily and headed to their house. They met George and Lilian attempting to fix lunch, and the couple was happy about that.'It is a good thing that the domestic staff members were withdrawn; otherwise, my children would not know how to take care of themselves in our absence.'Mr. Evans mumbled to himself in contentment.“Welcome back, dad and mom.”George and Lilian greeted one after the other while they opened the gate.“Thank you. How are you?” “We are fine. Did you succeed in paying my school fees?”George asked his mom who was walking to the kitchen to inspect their food while her husband walked to the bedroom.“Yes, I succeeded. Congratulations once again.”“Thank you, mom, but when am I resuming?”“You are resuming on Sunday evening.”“Oh! Two days from today.”“Yes. You have only tomorrow, to finalize your parking.”“Oh! My God. So, soon? I wi
