It happened that Onwueme Okereke was born to the family of three. During those days, pregnancy was quite hard for his mother. She had several miscarriage. Majority of the ones she gave birth to died without being sick. Among the three surviving children she had. Onwueme was the last. His elder brother got married when Onwueme was twenty three years old. Their only sister Obiaranamma was the first to get married. Later, it happened that there was no money to cater for the expenses, pay the bills and eat. Amandianaeze the father in law of Obiaranamma made arrangement with the slave traders. If Mma as she was called was aware of what her father in law was planning, she could have done something to prevent the idea. It became too late for her to do anything because her father in law had made up his mind. Ikeogu, Mma’s husband had no idea of the pathetic idea his father had made. And even if he knew, he still would not do anything about it, as his father was a strong man that always stand by his words. He was a difficult man and not easy to deceive. He had told Ikeogu the great danger facing him if he were to say no. He would be stripped off of every inheritance that should go to him.

After much payments, Amandianaeze handed Ikeogu over to them. Mma was helpless, she had no one to run to. It was unbearable for her. Amandianaeze cared less, yet protected Mma against all odds. He believed that Ikeogu had nothing to loose. He already had a family, of cause his name will not be forgotten.

Ikeogu suffered in the hands of the slave traders. They were engulfed with chains on their neck and legs. Unclad, they wore something that covered their private parts. They received a very tough beating of their lives. As they was dragged, they cried out for mercy. Ikeogu had earlier planned to escape, he was going to process it when all the guards fell asleep.

At midnight, he loosed himself from the chains and ran away like a man running a three hundred metre race. He was pursued immediately by the guards. He ran hysterically through the valley of darkness. He had no sense of direction. He just ran to escape his adversary. Each step seem to him to take him deeper and deeper into worsening labyrinth of the jungle. He was broken down by despair. He could feel the breath of his pursuer. Hot on his neck. What was worse, his feet kept getting entangled in the undergrowth tripping him. Suddenly,..........continue Reading by clicking on the link below:

Arinze The village boy


Arinze woke up with a splitting headache. His mouth felt sore and coated with repulsive tasteless material. His entire being felt terrible. Several weights was tied to his body and fixed to the bed. The sunlight stung his eyes, so he kept them shot against the sunlight; against the thuds of ache in his head. His stomach was sown with thistles of wild oats. For a long time he lay supine, making little effort to arrest the dizziness in his head. Finally, he forced his body to obey him. He swung his feet violently off the bed and immediately fell back to the bed clutching his head with both hands. He lay motionless for a time, then more slowly, he lifted his legs off the bed, all the while, holding his head with his palms. Every joints in his body ached, but he................

Amanda knew that being a mother would be very difficult, especially for her. Sometimes she would loose her appetite due to the nausea of her pregnancy. It was a difficult pregnancy for her since it was her first, she bled in the early weeks, and the doctor thought she might miscarry. Then she began having painful contractions after her seventh months, putting her in a danger of premature delivery. Finally, during the last month of pregnancy, she noticed that her feet was swollen all day and night, and she was gaining more weight than normal. Her doctor informed her that her blood pressure was high although it had been normal all along. The doctor further told her that her change of condition was due to pre-eclampsia; a condition in which high blood pressure and body swelling, along with protein in the urine develop during the second half of pregnancy. The woman may not feel sick but will have persistent headache. Some may develop visual disturbance, seeing flashing lights or stars that doesn’t exist. Others will feel unrelenting pains in the............... Continue Reading by clicking on the link below:
