"When you have our son, I shall call him, 'Ifeoluwakunle', meaning--" Yemisola hit him again as she completed his sentence for him, "---'The love of God fills our home'!" She looked at him as she reached for the tray of food. "Adedapo, what if we had a daughter too?" she asked him quietly as she paused in her action.

However, why would the villagers say she was kidnapped when she was not? He increased his steps as he walked. He needed some explanation. "Ije I know would attack the bulls. There is no way she would be carried to Ajonwa shrine without leaving a story the people of Ohanta would keep sharing from one generation to another," Ikenga murmured as he walked. "Something is not corresponding," Igwe said, expecting Ikenga to ask him what he thought about the disappearance of Ije. Ikenga ignore what he said. Ikenga knew Ije was betrothed to Ajonwa deity, however, he did not expect the bulls to take her away since she was underaged.

Sharp. The eyes of someone who saw everything and revealed only what was necessary. Elena stared at her. At the face. At the age. At the specific set of features that did not belong to anyone Elena had met but belonged to something older. Something familiar in the way of things that lived in photographs. "Who are you," Elena whispered. The young woman looked at her. "My name is Emeka," she said quietly. "Emeka Brooks." She paused. "I am your father's daughter."

Maybe because I am too young and have never experienced such kind of things, I feel uncomfortable inside as if I have done something bad. After I take a walk in the garden, I hear someone crying when I return to my room along the hall. The voice is familiar. It is Emelia, my slave. I go directly to her room. I think although I will not comfort her, I still want to see how she is doing. But when I get near to her room, I hear her crying and other girls comforting her. So she does not need me. Yes, she never needs me. When she was chosen to be my slave, she cried loudly and wanted to see her parents instead of being happy.

she ordered and they all counted themselves but someone was missing. Ahead of them was a tent burning in flames, Miriam used her water ability to quench the fire but there was a body burnt to ashes in the tent. “Mama Bucky” Miriam called falling to the ground, Mama Bucky was the oldest woman in the Ebonyi tribe, she was known for her wisdom and care for younger ones, she was well striken in age and couldn’t move nor see which was why she couldn’t escape the fire and got burnt to death.

“He’s more afraid of looking weak than he is of dying. That’s why he kills Ikemefuna. It’s not just following tradition it’s his own terror of seeming soft like his father.” She nodded. “Good. Evidence?” Chidi flipped pages fast. “Page 61. ‘He heard Ikemefuna cry, “My father, they have killed me!” as he ran towards him. Dazed with fear, Okonkwo drew his machete and cut him down.’” She leaned over the table to look at the page he was pointing to. Her breasts brushed the wood. All four of them sucked in a breath at the same time. “Excellent,” she said. “Tobi?”

"I know that I did a very bad thing. Something terrible." "Did you steal from someone? Or did you kill someone?" Ifeme asked, jokingly. "I didn't do all of that. I broke a pot. A black pot that contained something I can't remember." "What is so special about this black pot that you broke?" "That is what I am trying to figure out but my mind is blank." Ifeme pulled a small cloth from his waist and tied it round Ibekwe's wrist. He untied it immediately and walked to the window and threw it away. This was a way of telling the gods of the land that he wanted Ibekwe to remember what he had forgotten.

Even in the Igbo land at large, there were older women in various family clans who would always get married to the younger women who lost their husbands to one form of tragedy or the other. When she was eight years old, she was aware of, Ifemelu, a trans-woman who was popular and loved throughout the entire Igboland. People loved her. During town meetings, she would always be called to display and play her signature flute. So, to Isioma, the idea of someone loving the same gender was not strange at all.

That must be the scapular bone of someone they had eaten. “I wish to speak to your Igwe (King).” He said, hoping to keep his voice straight. “You are fool for coming here you know?” The crowd tore from the middle and went on their kneels as the owner of the voice walked gently from the back, to the center where Idemba and the other warriors stood.

Blackwheel’s voice was frail. Ekemma turned and went back inside her hut. Blackwheel was silent as he waited for her to get her son. Thirty seconds later and she was back with a boy who was closer to fifteen years than fourteen years. She moved toward him, her gait as tremulous as her words. "This is my son. His name is Ekene," Ekemma said. "He will show you where Nneka's second uncle, Arinze lives." "She is right," Ekene added. "Nobody knows the place better than I. You can ask anyone in this village, I am the only one who can walk from here to Arinze's hut with my two eyes closed."
