  It might interest you to know that the items that I was incredibly attached to were books 📚 and assisting my mother in her business, cook , clean, and  school debates. I love reading novels, debating in school and winning the debates. One of the topics debated in those days was,”Women Education should end in the Kitchen “.I fought like a wounded lioness and supported that women Education should be promoted, empowered and must not end in the kitchen.

  For me to be effective during my high school and beyond debates I had to read books. Some of the books that I read was Beyond Pardon by Bertha M.Clay.When I started reading Beyond pardon I could not stop or put  the book down I slept with the book.The reason is because I wanted to see what happened next.So I kept wondering what will the next page talk about. I couldn’t keep the book down. It is a romantic fiction captivating novel that talks about the dangers and emotions of adultery.It was a tragedy. I don’t want to burst your bubble but you need to get it from Amazon.com. 

 The other item that I was incredibly attached to was the ”Passport of Mallam llia “by Cypril Ekwensi.It was first published in 1960.It was a love story mixed with vengeance on the death of his wife Zarah.I read this books over thirty years ago so can no longer remember all the details but it kept me going. I read so many books but I started with these three. 

  There are other books that I read when I was younger, much younger. My other book was Things fall apart by Chinua Acheba. He began his writing of this book by stating that Mr Okonkwo was well known in nine villages and beyond. Okonkwo to begin with is a well known igbo name. When you hear Okonkwo, Okeke, Okoye,Okafor,Nwoye make no mistake these are common igbo names. As for the meaning I don’t know. Things fall apart was published in 1958 by an Igbo man,a great author professor Chinua Achebe.It is a story that depicted the culture, and life in igbo land.It talked about yams,pounded yams, bitterleaf soups, the foods,the palm-tree, palm wine, the conversations, and the crowd. All of these are the embodiment of the igbo culture and traditions before colonization. But now things have fallen apart more and the center can no longer hold compounded with the fact that most people have resorted to hate,wickedness,envy, and greed.

What became of the ìtem are  as follows:

A.Change in focus and reading other novels and textbooks.

B.Went to college to pursue by destiny.

C.Got married and immigration.

D.Family – children and new direction.
