AKWAUGO - PART 4

Uncle Emma’s brother-in-law (his sister’s husband) fell critically ill. They sold all they had to treat his ailment to no avail. When Uncle Emma was informed, he took him abroad for treatment that was where it was discovered it was end stage cancer. There was nothing they could do for him there. He was brought back to Nigeria and died two weeks after he came back.  Uncle Emma became responsible for his sister and her children. His sister wasn’t satisfied. She moved in with Uncle Emma and auntie Nneoma along with her children. She terrorized auntie Nneoma; she abused her at every opportunity she got. Her children disrespected her too. Uncle Emma didn’t know what to do as she was older than him. She called for a family meeting and she fabricated lies against auntie Nneoma. Auntie Nneoma never responded as father had advised her to keep silent, one day she would be vindicated.  The harassment became more than auntie Nneoma could bear especially as her sister-in-law became physica...

About Me

I started this blog because I love Stories. Even though I'm not very good at writing it, 

I sometimes write about things I encountered in my daily life, childhood memories, cheesy poetry and random personal drive.

At first, I thought that only people who had nothing better to do would visit this blog. Recently, however, I found out that some people did actually find this blog to be useful. I am glad that my stories could serve you well.

AKWAUGO - PART 3

Early the next morning, I went to work. I cleaned up the entire house before they woke up. Auntie Nneoma met me cleaning upstairs when she came out. She praised me and went about making food for her husband. The house had changed and it was evident someone new had taken over. “No one ever cleaned this well in all our days of having house helps. Even the woman who cleans once a week has never cleaned this well. Nne, stop her from coming. Akwaugo should manage the house for us. Even if she cleans once a week it is still better than what we have experienced before. Take this N20,000. Go to the private school down the street. Buy the entrance form and get me the school bill” I couldn’t believe what I heard. I fell on my knees in gratitude. I was going to the private secondary school I saw when we were coming. I had admired the buildings. It was beautiful. From outside, the compound was very large. I couldn’t wait to explore some more. “Nna anyi, please let us not send her to that school. Y...

AKWAUGO - PART 2

Suddenly everything changed. In order to deliver jobs promptly, father visited his sites regardless of the weather conditions. Well, he fell terribly ill. He had a cough which refused to go. He grew very lean and couldn’t move around anymore. He refused to visit the hospital saying they would just take all he had made.  One day, he woke up but couldn’t stand up. As he laid on the bed, he was very restless. We couldn’t go to school that day because father looked terrible. He couldn’t even communicate with us. Obinna went out of the house while mother and I sat by father’s bedside. Mother was helpless and in tears. Obinna returned with a taxi. He and Ikenna carried father into the taxi and we went to the hospital. The doctors on duty quickly attended to him as they could see he was in distress. They took information from us while admitting father. “Are you aware your husband is hypertensive? Has he been taking his medication?” “Hypertensive kwa? He is not o” mother replied. “He is. A...
