"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it."

Please, do scan me, because I am the forbidden truth finally told.

              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 ...

                 " 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. A na-amara nma si n'ụlọ pụta ama." - Adaeze Barbara  Akachi "Nice Piece,  though very long to  make a book" - Uchehy Duncan Nwazue  "His truth shall be your shield and buckler. Posterity demands a witness and this book is my witness. It is written neither ...

FRACTURED FAMILY      The sample of the matriarch's autograph. This specimen was made available by Nneka. The matriarch appended it on the package she sent her via Bose(Vicky) sometime. According to three of her beneficiaries, similar signature corresponded with the one she also appended on her will, but Orisa and Ebere consciously and deliberately chose to dispute its authenticity or veracity.    " THE MATRIARCH'S SIGNATURE" As the day of reading the matriarch's will slowly approached, obvious sense of uneasiness washed over all persons involved. They all wondered aloud what its contents would be. At the probate section of the Umuahia high court, Auntie Eji, Uncle Orisa,  Auntie Ebby,  Da Alice,  Adaeze and Victoria Chief's wife all took their seats and waited with bated breath for the registrar's instructions. The atmosphere was maliciously tensed and suffocating among persons of the same family who were supposed to...

                FRACTURED FAMILY       " THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE             PEACE THROUGH TRUTH"                              "The history of all hitherto existing society, is the history of class struggle"-Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Peace and truth are two interconnected concepts that are essential for building harmony and understanding in our lives.                       **PEACE** Peace can be defined as a state of tranquility, freedom from disturbance, and absence of conflict. However, achieving absolute peace is challenging, if not impossible, due to the complexities of human relationships and differing interests.    ...

                FRACTURED FAMILY          " HIGH HORSE AND WHITE KNIGHT" The fragile peace and unity of our family hangs in the balance, threatened by conflicts between its high horses and white knights. God, the creator of heaven and earth, knows our needs and provides for them, whether we ask or not. This is the essence of His providence. Yet, He invites us to ask, seek, and knock, promising that our efforts will be rewarded. Mounting a high horse – being unreasonably arrogant, stubborn, or unyielding – has ruined many relationships and families. No one wants their ego deflated, but sometimes, we must think outside the box and prioritize peace. True friends will look us in the eye and call us out for our wrongs. High horses seek echo chambers, but wisdom lies in humility. In every situation, a white knight emerges to rescue the day. God's son was the ultimate white knight, sent to atone for our sins. His m...
