"AMBIGUITY"

             FRACTURED FAMILY
The matriarch's real age was never wrapped in ambiguity. In her very words to her grandchildren whom she confided in; " I was brought into being in the year 1929". This year was famously redolent of ABA WOMEN'S RIOT of 1929.

The matriarch strongly protested the age that was once  maliciously and clandestinely woven into her one time birthday anniversary's brochure as fake. She was made more advanced than she actually was. But she was so hapless to influence the managers of her affairs as they strategically, consciously and meticulously relegated her prematurely to the backburner as she struggled frantically to reassert her relevance in the scheme of things within the family irrespective of her being dubbed a museum piece ahead of time.

The real shocker gripped us before and during her funeral; when various figures were  carefully associated with her obituary not only to conceal her real age but also to deceive, mislead and misinform the general public.

The obvious question on everyone's mind has been and still is; what were and still are  the driving forces or motivational factors behind all these discrepancies or incongruities?
Is there anything they are privy to, that we are kept in the dark about?

Will this not be unconnected with her legacy and life insurance policy?  But the denial of the existence of the matriarch's life insurance policy is sounding like a broken record emanating from the pit of hell.
 As an American older citizen, she also kept tabs on her affairs. This means she was quite aware of her existent life insurance policy. If this was not true;  would she have left an explicit instruction thereto? In her words; " My American money shall be shared among Ebere, Chiabuotu,  Alice and  Ejituru Elizabeth Onyeneho ".

We are agog to view how the event unfurls further.

The flashbacks keep coming back in successions. I still hear her voice in my head. I see her pictures and feel like she is still just a call away. "A brother who is at war with himself lacks the moral standard to broker peace outside or convoke a general family assembly to pontificate about peace when his kitchen is in tatters."-Princeclintonuzohr  This is my favourite line from this piece.

"CONFLICT RESOLUTION"

Image
FRACTURED FAMILY As the family got bogged down by the quagmire that has the potential and the capacity to continue to shred it apart to smithereens for generations to come, friends, well-wishers, fiends and the quarreling parties alike turned blind eye to  this malady. Their negligence became a tinder igniting the smoldering smoke of discord  into a consuming flame of strife , hostility and disunity among siblings. What was more, their unwillingness, hubris,  accusations and recriminations to navigate out of this mire festered and seemed intractable. Every form of social intercourse among siblings ground to a halt, with hurtful and malicious undercurrents. Separate existence became a preference,which sacrificed communal existence on the altar of cloistered living with an eerie dash. The centerpiece of this saga was the matriarch. The situation insidiously eroded her sinew and brawniness, but she displayed exceptional strength,resilience and determination to...

"TEARFUL PROTEST FROM SHEOL"

Image
FRACTURED FAMILY   The teardrops from the great beyond flooded the matriarch's compound and the nightingale lamented ceaselessly for closure. Threatening to metamorphose into an ocean if not pacified. "My wishes and instructions prior to my journey of no return were disregarded by my very loved ones. What a heinous betrayal with a tragic implication?"  "The chasm between us though very wide, but God watches over our actions and reserves for the villain his deserts." "Exhume and gather my remains, transport them to my chosen place of burial and  there commit them to mother earth. This is the only placation to get my soul to repose in perfect peace.  My soul is still hovering and wandering desultorily. How can I  rest in peace, let alone perfectly.  Is to obey not better than sacrifice?" "While I remained with you, I cherished burial brochure. But why was none designed for me, d o I not  deserve that?"
