The long awaited death of John has arrived. Dreams must not be fulfilled. The dream of being a nice father to his kids so as to be taken care of later in life never came into fruition.
If the dead do cry, John will be heard weeping in his death. Wherever his soul may be, it must be in regret and wished the hands of the clock be reversed for him to right the wrongs.
Many dreams are left unfulfilled and the world still keep moving.

When the news of John's death filtered into town, it was greeted with shock and sober reflections.
Few days later, his children and the mother returned all clad in black apparel to announce to the world that they are mourning the death of their beloved father and husband.
John's corpse was gently placed in the back of his son's latest ride and taken to the mortuary.
The very vehicle he was never privileged to enter when he was alive is now made available.
Ugo the first son promised to foot the bill of the burial ceremonies.

In order not to be mocked by his well-to-do business associates, Ugo hurriedly erected a four bedroom bungalow in their compounded and painted the old house.
John's corpse was in the morgue 'relaxing' while his children applied finishing touches to the burial arrangements.
The 'air conditioner' that eluded John while he lived is now his at the morgue.

Oh what a life!!! Death signifies eternal rest but John never rested even in death.
His spirit flocked around in regret. Sometimes noises will begin to emanate from his room even when no one is there.
"We are no longer in the same world, go your way and leave me and my children alone" Chioma is heard shouting on any occurrence.

Update.....

aycorporat:
so all this "weeping may endure for a while, but joy comes in the morning" is all a hoax for somebody like John? has he been destined to suffer all the days of his life? No reprieve whatsoever?

Fate could be cruel to some people

The doctor insisted John be taken to the state teaching hospital.
John having no money is now more or less bedridden as he barely walked.
Succour however came the way for him as a philanthropist came around to foot the bill of all the patients in the hospital and provided him with a wheelchair.
When his wife eventually returned, she spent two days in the house and returned back to their children's place.
Now confined to a wheelchair, John now depends on the kind hearted ones in the neighborhood to feed and carry out some chores.

While this happened, his first and second sons bought lands in the village and developed them simultaneously.
On several occasions that they came around to inspect their respective projects, they never passed the night in their house rather they slept in a nearby hotel in the village.

None of the female children visited home since the date of their marriages.
John's house was deserted and almost overtaken by weeds.
Neighbors disposed John's excreta but not when he has inhaled the greater percentage of the stench. One fateful night, he made to drag himself into the wheelchair from the bed but fell on ground.
In the morning, his friend who has been advising him to get another wife visited.
He knocked on the door but heard no response.
He knocked again this time louder yet John was unable to open the door.
He then went to nearby houses to ask if they have seen John recently.
The neighbors followed him to John's house and decided to force their way into the house.
When they eventually broke the door and gained access to the room where John sleeps, the body of John was seen laying on the floor stone dead.

When I realized my cooking gas has finished, I gave up and came outside to gaze at the sky.
At a point I contemplated jumping from my floor so as to fall and injure my self. At least I will be given food before any medication is carried out on me.

The weird thought was going through my mind before my phone rang, behold it was my friend.
"Guy come to ........hotel, I'm in a friend's wedding and in charge of drinks" said him on the phone. "Are you also in charge of food"? I curiously asked. He said I should come over that food will not be a problem.
I quickly dressed up and zoomed off.
As i was coming out of the street the sports wear woman started calling me again. "No be me and you again" I said to my self and started running.
I ran a long distance and started walking.

This time I was devising the means of eating two plates of food without anyone noticing. I resolved to concentrate on the rice; then demand for extra stew to augment the rice and again demand for extra rice to finish the stew so as not to waste the stew.
On getting to the hotel gate, I knocked and the gateman reminded me that the first criteria for gaining access in to the premise is that you must drive pass the gate. Meaning that it's out of bound for non-car owners.
I quickly pointed at a Lexus RX330 product parked at a nearby mechanic workshop and told him its mine but all the tyres mysteriously got deflated.

After taking a thorough look at me so as to ascertain my worth, he opened the gate and I entered whilst smiling like it was the gate of heaven. I quickly brought out my phone to call my friend only to realize I've exhausted my airtime. After searching for him to no avail, I decided to gain the attention myself.

I joined the dancing couples. The music blazing from the DJ's speakers was Nigeria's hip hop music but I decided to dance local Ogene music.
I was dancing so vigorously and bending my waist with other sorts of weird dance steps like a new Chosen church member on evangelism.
In a minute, I was the cynosure of all eyes .

Satisfied that I must have gotten the attention of my friend I retired to a corner and awaited my consignment of food.
He immediately appeared with a plate of Semovita and Egwusi soup garnished with all sort of meat. I quickly grabbed it like I was given an Olympic medal and started doing justice to the food.
I was still moulding and shaping the Semovita so as to form a good lump before I dip it in the soup when a huge and tall guy accosted me.
He told me that the occasion is strictly based on invitation and then asked what I was doing there.
As a natural stammerer, I made to explain myself but the words weren't forthcoming. I was still struggling with the words of explanations only for the food to fall from hand.

As if his mission was to ensure I didn't eat the food, the guy made to leave immediately but I grabbed him. While holding his clothes, I was thinking between Randy Orton's WWE RKO smack down and Roman Reigns super man punch which one to give the guy.

To be continued shortly abeg.

Back.....let's go there

The worst day of my life was a certain weekend that one thing led to another and I found my self broke.
Had only 3k on me so I decided to visit the barbing salon as it's a weekly routine and use the balance to prepare myself a good meal that will sustain me till Monday morning

On my way back from the salon, a certain woman living in same street called me. This young woman probably in her early 40s is tall, fair and heavily endowed. Pointing at my self I curiously asked " na me you dey call"? She answered to the affirmative.
With my clipper bag dangling from my hand, I headed towards her direction like I was summoned by Pontus Pilate.

Unknown of the fate that might has befallen me, I stood before her intimidating posture like I got her daughter pregnant whilst awaiting to be 'sentenced'. She reached to her car Booth, brought out some sport wears and gave me. "Ah all this for me" I asked smiling like they bought me Christmas clothes. "Noo #2,500 each" she echoed. I quickly withdrew the smile on my face and returned to default mode. Like I was under a spell, I started bargaining. "Give me this three for #2,500" I said effortlessly like I lost a job interview.
My case was compounded when she said I should bring the money as I was hoping to under prize the clothes and go my way.

I started weeping internally but smiling outwardly and awkwardly. Amidst regret I gave her #2k and headed home with my head facing down and hands joined at the back like I took holy communion.
Now left with #300 I decided to prepare pap and okpa. Prepared the list (okpa=#200, akamu=#50+jara, sugar #20) and went out to get them.

Quickly dissolved the pap and started pouring the already boiled water.
Was still pouring the water with vigor and waiting for the pap to become thick to no avail.
"please don't do this to me" I started pleading as the pap was becoming watery and already filling the bowl to the brim.
At a point it dawned on me that the situation was irredeemable as the watery pap was already spilling from the bowl.

With my hands on my waist I looked up like I wanted to question God why the day was such bad for me. Later decided to boil the pap after I transferred the content to a stainless bowl only to realize my cooking gas has finished.

Feel like sharing this sad day to you guys.

Please don't laugh at the predicament of a fellow brother.

One fateful morning John engrossed with the thought of his predicaments, slashed his finger with his pen knife while checking his wine atop the palm tree.
While nursing the pains inflicted by the cut, he fell from the tree top and crash landed to the ground on his back.
Neighbors that heard the unusual sound rushed to the scene and met John in the pool of his own blood.
They brought a wheelbarrow and used it to convey him to the hospital.
"How can a man with successful children live a life like a childless man" said some passerby as they pushed John pass the village square.

At the hospital, John got admitted after his neighbors that brought him donated some money for the commencement of his treatment.
When his wife and other of his children got the wind of what happened to their husband and father, none deemed it fit to travel to the village to know how he was faring.

The doctor advised he be transferred to the state teaching hospital for a qualitative medications as his health deteriorated.
Ugo the first son was in China to purchase some goods, the first daughter was on holidays with her husband in Dubai. In fact everyone had one reason or the other to decline traveling home to take proper care of their husband and father.

'Mine is agonies of fatherhood while others are having joys of fatherhood" John said as he sobbed on the hospital bed.
"In my next world, I will prepare myself for fatherhood so as to be able to take care of myself when I get old' he said to himself and wept.

Ghost readers well done.

Since John can no longer reach his children on phone, his only opportunity to hear from them is when his wife is communicating with them over the phone and perhaps it touches her heart to give her husband the phone to speak to them.
As years passed, John became unable to keep up with the rigorous activities of Mason work.
He literally retired from the work and gradually started the palm wine tapping business.
"My children have turned their back on me after all I went through for their sake' John told a friend of his that visited.
"It's high time you get another wife that will be with you in the impending old age" his friend advised as they deposited some content of snuff into the nostrils.
He went ahead to tell John that a man is supposed to save for the rainy days which is his old age.

"Get a new wife now because your being alive or dead no longer matters to your wife now. Let me tell you, your wife may have started seeing you to be a stumbling block to her happiness" he continued.
"The longevity of a man lies in the hands of his wife and remember that the pubic region without the hairs has lost it's glory and dignity " he explained to John.
He went further to convince him to get a new wife by narrating a story of how a certain wife connived with some criminals to kill her husband so she can inherit his property and have the children's attention all to herself.
John pondered and brainstormed on his next line of action. Even if he's to get another wife, there's no money to foot the bill of the ceremony.
At this juncture, his wife Chioma now visits him from time to time as she has relocated to her children's place.
Even when he tries to reach his children on phone for some kind of financial assistance, they would promise to call him back when they are less busy but never call back.
John now frustrated and embittered on the fate that has befallen him gradually developed the habit of talking to himself and a flash of dementia.

Updates coming soon

Mikel Obi's father can relate to this storyline

Lol this guy

As John continued to live the life of a bachelor, the thought of getting another wife came knocking again. If not for anything but for the sake of eating delicious meals before he joins his ancestors.
His wife is no longer reachable owning to the fact that she now rotates her journey among the house of her children.

John increasingly became frustrated once again. After over a year, she returned home to the delight of his husband. As she unpacked her sets of goodies, she opened her pause and brought out a note of one thousand naira, handed to John her husband and said "your daughters said I should give you this"
"Ugo your first son also said I should give you this" she said as she handed a parcel concealed in a nylon to her husband.

John smiled as what he longed for seems to be coming into fruition.
He loosed the nylon bag, opened the parcel and behold it was a bottle of foreign wine. John was at loss on what to do. So he tossed the 'consignment' in to the cupboard and left for his Mason work.

On several occasions, Chioma his wife goes out and return with a barbecued chicken to devour by herself. John could only salivate on the aroma of his wife's food while she enjoys herself. John is fast aging and wearing out while his wife now looks ravishing.
Mr and Mrs John live under same roof but all John is left to cuddle at night is his dusty mattress.

John still basking in the euphoria of his children's good fortune, walked in a rather majestic style and beamed with confidence.
In no distant time, his first daughter gave birth and his wife went for the traditional Omugwo.
Chioma his wife returned after a three months stay at her daughter's house.
She came home with a lot of goodies ranging from wrappers of various brands to jewelries, shoes, and others.

Aside the material gifts, she looked so refreshed like she just returned from an oversea vacation.
Chioma appeared 'empowered' as she now dole out cash to buy whatever she needs.
Like it was a planned deal, their second daughter gave birth after few months of Chioma's return from the first Omugwo.
She again took the next available car to her daughter's house.

John again started living the life of a bachelor.
He cooks for himself, washes his clothes and had no one to chat with.
Few months later, his wife returned and looked more fresher and fattened.
Material gifts reigned in her room. John was almost tempted to exhibit a sense of envy on his wife but shrugged it off.
Having fulfilled his dream of training up his kids, John quit the security work and concentrated on the Mason work as age was no longer on his side.

It took the timely intervention of other children for John not to be manhandled by his first son for allegedly battering their mother and sending her packing from the house.
John almost shed tears as he couldn't open up to the children on the fact that their mother sleeps around with other men.

Nevertheless he left for his duty post amidst a disgusting look from his pugnacious son.
The next day, Ugo preparing to return to the city decided to take his other brothers with him.
He took their mother inside of the room and doled out an unspecified amount of cash to her.
He also provided his sisters with some cash before dashing in to his vehicle and sped off.
John was seated at the front veranda while his son sped off with other of his male children.

He however remained unperturbed and felt fulfilled to have seen all his kids through secondary schools.
As luck would have it, all his female children got married same year and in quicker succession. John was really happy and literally fastened his seat belt in anticipation of enjoying his long awaited fruit of labor.

His other male children also sent another good news back home on how they have successfully set up businesses for themselves.
The lost and long awaited joy seemed to have located the family of Mr and Mrs John.

We done land....good job bro

John had to let go of his ego and agreed to bring his wife back to the house for the sake of the kids.
Surprisingly, his in-laws demanded he brings some gallons of palm wine, tubbers of yam and a sizable bowl of kola nut.
John played along and brought his wife home to look after the kids before they go the way of the first son who's whereabouts remains unknown to the family.
John deprived himself the basic things of life as a man to ensure his kids are well fed and had quality education.

Many years later, the female kids have grown and were about writing their SSCE exams.
That same year, the fugitive first son returned home with a car and apologized to his father for the ugly incident and how he made him get locked up.

John forgave him and inquired about his source of livelihood in the city.
Ugo told him that when he fled the village, he squatted with a friend in Lagos. From there he began doing all sort of menial jobs to feed himself. "Papa I was able to save enough money and I set up an electronic business. In fact, I now import electrical appliances from China" he told his father.

As father and son were discussing, the mother emerged from the front yard and embraced her son. Chioma later lied to his son that his father beat her to stupor and sent her packing from the house some years ago.
Without asking for his father's version of the story, Ugo emerged from his mother's room and intercepted his father who was about going for his night security work.

It's a pity

When the wife packed her belongings and left the house, John sat dumbfounded and watched helplessly as his wife disappeared into the darkness of the night.
He was at loss on what to do. But apologising to her for the assault was out of it.
He then went inside the house and laid beside the kids still thinking on what to do.
In the morning, the kids woke up and inquired about their mother.
John was unable to succinctly narrate what transpired the previous night to the children and had to lie to them that she visited her parents.
Few days later, their mother wasn't seen in the house so they decided to go to their mother's place to see her.
Chioma lied to them that their father after getting drunk pounced on her and sent her packing from the house.

The kids having been brainwashed resolved to unleash terror on their father if he refuses to apologize to their mother and bring her back to the house.
John was devastated but got consoled by the fact that he will reap the fruit of his labour when the kids come of age.
While his wife was away, a friend advised him to get another wife so she can take care of the kids and be his companion.

John vehemently objected and swore that he better resort to masturbation to cool off his sexual urge than to bring another woman into his home.
As the kids increased their agitation for their mother's return, John pondered on it and decided to forgive her and then 'apologize' to her for the betterment of the kids.

Updates coming shortly

As John gazed at the strange man in his sitting room, the strange man gazed at the wall tactlessly.
John wondered the rationale behind his wife starving him only to feed a strange man right in his matrimonial home.
"Mama Ugo, who's this man and what is he doing in my house at this time of the night" John asked.
This time, the wife has withdrawn the initial sense of remorse she exhibited and appeared defiant and unapologetic.
John having spent many months in the police cell has been made to be cautious in whatever he does. Sensing that the atmosphere is charged and could lead to physical combat against the intruder, he asked the man to leave his house quietly.

The man like a fowl drenched in the rain stood up and left fearfully.
John then took his wife outside of the house so as to to escape the listening ears if the kids sleeping on the floor.
For the first time ever, John called his wife by her name: Chioma, why have you decided to bring this family to disrepute. Ugo did his own and left us to our fate. I spent months in the dingy cell facility of the police, sold almost half of our land to come out of the problem. Now you bring men in to my matrimonial room, do you want me to commit murder and spend the rest of my life in jail "
Chioma his wife wasn't yielding to the discussion neither did she felt remorseful nor offered an apology.

John now irritated thundered at his wife "Are you not the one I'm talking to woman"
The wife replied angrily " John leave me alone "
Before she could finish the statement, John landed a thunderous slap on her face.
As if that was the straw waiting to break the Carmel's back, his wife ran inside the house, packed his bag and left for her father's house.

John has lost all his life savings to his son's gangster lifestyle.
Not relenting however, he took upon himself to send his kids back to school as soon as possible.
What really pained and weakened his spirit is his wife's latest attitude towards him.
He started afresh and began to hustle yet again and in no distant time, he made enough money and had his kids back to school.

Chioma his wife has heightened her nagging and cantankerous attitude to the point that John had to resort to the locally brewed dry gin to be able to sleep at night.
There was one fateful day that he returned from the Mason work and wanted to take dinner before proceeding to his night guard security post.
"Mama Ugo give me food before I go out" he told his wife.

"The remaining food is for the kids" she replied.
John looked up, placed his hands around his waist and echoed: fatherhood when will you be kind to me"
He shook his head, picked up his torchlight and left. As he walked, he staggered unintentionally owing to the fact that he hasn't eaten for the day. At his duty post, he discovered it wasn't his turn to man the building as there are other colleagues which gave room for rotation of night duties.

Upon his arrival in his house, he saw a motorcycle parked at the front yard as he flashed his torchlight.
Being his house, he didn't bother nocking at door so he pushed the door open.
Behold was a man munching a big bowl of rice and flushed it down with a bottle of beer like it was a Christmas day.
His wife on sighting him started to fidget and mumble inaudible words.

So sad.

Really sad.

At the police station, John's son has been put behind bars. The victims father was threatening fire and brimstone. His son didn't actually die but in critical condition.
John negotiated his son's bail and his son was granted bail on the condition that he reports to the police station every morning while the victim recuperates in the hospital.
While out on bail, Ugo refused reporting to the police station as instructed.

Unfortunately, the victim died after few days in the hospital.
John was asked to provide his son at the police station.
Ugo on hearing of his victim's death, fled the village and headed to the city without anyone's consent.
John went to the police station to plead with the victim's family to give room for an amicable settlement of the issue.

On getting to the station, he was locked up inside the cell.
Things went from bad to worse for Mr and Mrs John's family. John languished in jail for seven months and was released when the complainants accepted to withdraw the case and have an out-of-police settlement.

The condition for the settlement was that John foots the bill of the burial ceremony, build a house and marry a wife for the deceased.
John had to part with his inherited three plots of land to regain his freedom.
Back home, he realized that virtually all his kids have stopped going to school owing to their inability to pay for their respective school fees.
