The minister was contemplating on what to
do."Oh. This whiteman is very wise,look at
what the king has done to me.I need to
find the right girl without the knowledge of
the king before it becomes too late.He picked his
mobile phone and dialed the king's number ."Hello,who is this?"the king asked
impatiently."Is me Titus,the minister of
education .Don't you recognise my voice
"the Minister lamented."So is you,you
that don't
use to call person .What transpire you to remember my line today?"the king asked
jovialy."I need you to see me right now in
my office"the minister commanded."Ok, as
you requested,am on my way.The king
entered his car and order his chauffeur to
accelerate faster than he has ever done .The king alighted and walked into the minister's office
and entered without knocking .The minister
told
him to have a sit and assign one of his clerical
worker to get the king a chill drink."I don't
need that"the king stopped him from entertaining
him."If you say so"the minister
added."Why did you need me so
urgent?"the king asked furiously."The
whiteman
has find out.He is requiring for the name of the girl we swap"The Minister remove the
cat from
the bag."What!!!"the king exclaimed in
unbelief."How did he discover it?"the king
asked."The whiteman man went with the
original list without my knowledge, when I gave him my list,he discover that a name
was missing in my list and an image does not
correspond with the original list"the Minister
narrated in detail."Oh my God. What're we
going to do
?"the king inquired."We have no option than to look for the girl"the minister
insinuated."Can't we look for another
means"the king suggested."No!.This is not
time for that.The whiteman need her name
and there's nothing we can do about it"the
minister said."I will not take you to her house but I will tell you where you can
locate her house "the king describe my house
to
him and went home with frustration
.

I saw a black toyota hilux alighted at our compound and a man came out of the hilux which I
know to be the minister of education, because
I have seen him on Newspapers.He walked
to our door and my dad came out to
compliment him."Good day sir "my dad
greeted him."Are you Ebiere's dad?"the Minister inquired."Yes,I am
her
dad,I hope there is nothing wrong? ",my
dad asked with an impatient look. "Nothing is
wrong sir ,I am here to only inform you
that.........."he stammered. "That what ?"my dad asked ,looking more curious than before."Your daughter has been
awarded a scholarship to go and study
abroad"the Minister said and handed my dad
a
scholarship letter ."Thank you"my dad said .He collected the letter from him and cuddled
the Minister with tears of joy coming out freely from his eyes
profusely."This is unbelievable "my dad said
within himself .They disengage ,"thank
you,you have really save me from disgrace and frustration "my dad said with his kneel
on the ground thanking the minister."Is not
me but is the reward of your daughter's hardwork and studiousness "the Minister
said .He
entered his black hilux and zoom off .My dad broke the news to me and my mum "Ebiere,you have been
awarded a scholarship to go and study
abroad"my dad said."At last I made it!"I
exclaimed due to the joy that overwhelm
me.We
started singing praises and worship to glorify God .

My visa came

our flight
alighted on the airport, a white man walked to us , "good day mr
man "he said ,"good day sir"we replied in
unison, "are you the father of Ebiere ?"the
whiteman inquired, "yea,my dad
replied,"where is
Ebiere "he asked without noticing my presence."She
is the one standing behind my wife "my dad
said with a smile ."Welcome to England "the whiteman
said and drove us with his car to a large compound with beautiful houses.
"This duplex
belong to you ,Ebiere"the whiteman said and handover a
key to me. "Is this really a dream or reality "I said to
myself .He ushered us into the beautiful
duplex
and took us to different room. "My time is up, I have an appointment to catch up
"the whiteman
said."Thank you sir"my dad said and the
white man bade us fare well and departed.
"At last we
are free from my troublesome brother and his
wicked wife that nature has betray "my dad
said. "I am going to study in one of the best
school in the world "I smiled . "He can now have
the land he want to himself"my mum added
