Nuges11:
After my dad’s burial, his brothers took over his properties and barred my mum and me from even going close to any of his houses. My dad died without writing a will. My mum, having nothing left in Anambra, had to move us back to Lagos to pick up the pieces of whatever was left of her life.
At this juncture, I stopped reading. Seriously, why tag my state with devilish and barbaric acts?

A graduate of law got stripped of all her husband's wealth by her semi-literate in-law, leaving her without a penny. That has nollywood written all over it. I know it's fictional but you have to date this story back to the 80’s for it to be a little digestible.

It's a SHORT story, yet you're complaining it is too long.

This is the reason why the Europeans will always be ahead of us. If you want to hide wisdom from the blackman, hide it in a book.
why would u say that? That's his own opinion plz. Europeans are ahead of u, not us.

Like I said, keep deceiving yourself. Mr Man, go pick up a book and read, instead of coming here to display persecution complex. READ! It will do you a world of good.

I'm done dignifying you with a response. Don't quote me again.
