I WILL never forget the day I agreed to have a
talk with a friend who was on the verge of
ditching her husband for another married man. “I am tired of giving birth to ugly children”, she
snapped when I broached the subject, telling her
my mediating was at the insistence of her
husband, who was also a close friend. “My
daughter is so dark I feel for her at times as
there is the possibility of her attracting only ugly men. 1 am dark, my husband is dark. You have
seen the new man yourself, he has lovely children.
Let me also have children 1 can be proud of for a
change!” So she left and eventually had three
children by this other man. I wished I could say they are as ugly as the ones
she had with her first husband, but no. They are quite attractive and
athletic, and she was proud of her feat! Her
husband also remarried, of course. “And his new
set of kids are even uglier than the ones I had for
him,” smirked my friend. Lately, I learnt both of
them were thinking of going back together since they were not properly divorced. I thought the
idea absurd. I would have termed it impossible, if I
hadn’t heard it from the now bitter father of her
‘lovely’ children, her second ‘husband’. When she phoned a few days later, I told her of
the ridiculous rumour I heard about her first
husband coming back to her. “Don’t mind the jerk,
he’s just jealous,” she said of her now ex-lover,
“By the way, Jide (her real husband) is here and
wants to talk to you.” “Are you back together” I asked him incredulously when he came on the
phone. “Of course, we are!” he actually sounded
happy.

You are suffering from colonial imperialism. We are Africans and we will always love black
