Delayed Not Denied

  “It pays to be upright and just, though virtually all my life, I’ve been unjustly treated,” the old dibia and chief priest of Umuozobia, Iheukwumere, said, glancing left and right. The setting was the obi, and his mood that of one whose only desire was attention from his audience. With a gesture of the hand, he brought them to attention.
  “Listen, my children. Listen and hear how this,” he said, showing them the ofo, “came to be under my tutelage.” He paused and his keen eyes fixed on them all. He was delighted. So, he continued. “Listen to whatever I am going to say so that you might tell your children and them, their children’s children in generations to come.”

Available as a hardcover and softcover edition.

Iheukwumere, the old dibia and chief priest of Umozobia, tells his family of their storied heritage through five generations. Revering tradition, the ancestors fight for justice after tragedy befalls them, time after time.
