"INTRODUCTION"

              FRACTURED FAMILY This platform is named TRUTH FOR POSTERITY  for various reasons.
One of the reasons, is to tell the whole truth about the matriarch,her life,  struggles, pains, sorrows, determination,  resilience, love, forgiveness and legacy to the present and future generations. 

 Another reason, is to expose the insincerity and dishonesty of those who have been economical with the truth of the fact of the family dynamics and its bitter internecine impacts on its members. 

Finally, to inform the general public about who the matriarch really was.


This platform is dedicated to a remarkable matriarch, aka Urunwanyi who is our lovely granny. She bequeathed indelible memories and legacies to us. Her inspirations have been a source of strength, resilience and determination. 

She taught us the true meaning of unity and love. As we continue to deliberate and draw inspirations from the lessons she taught, the flame she ignited will continue to burn from generations to generations till the end of time.

In the evening of her days, when her sun was about to dip over the horizon of death, two of her loved ones questioned that love and unity she had wished to be remembered for. They left her home in utter disarray.

But she would be forever remembered for her crusade and gospel which were of peace, unity, togetherness, love, resilience, determination, hope, strength and trust in God. This platform is here to delineate the true portrait of her through the eyes of a faithful, truthful and devoted grandchild. Her life, struggles, challenges, strength, resilience, rise and fall are incorprated.

                          FRACTURED FAMILY                           " RECENSION" "May Mama’s soul continue to rest in peace.  Beautiful writeup".- Olivia Chinyere Emeruem            "It is still surreal. 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. The Holy Bible refers to such character as worse than an infidel.

"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?"
