E DON HAPPEN AGAIN. By Tobe Eze

E DON HAPPEN AGAIN 


Very deep in my siesta, I heard the vibration of my phone. With eyes half opened, I collected the phone from the desk where I kept it. Oh my God, this girl and her trouble. It was my niece. I picked and she just shouted over the phone. Brother! Brother! E don happen! I managed to ask her what has happened? She told me, “do you know that our landlord’s son that you normally stay with when you come around? From my bed I jumped up because it was just few days after my own relation was buried and it was the same hour that I got the news of his death on the day he died. I shouted, what happened? Waiting to hear the worst news again and she just said I should calm down that there is nothing much. Continue Reading..... 

The Reply of Abuguja Hillary Chekwube on the Article. On the Death of Ejike Eze

 Death is a reality and nobody understands it more than a dead person. *IThink* 


The mystery of death is demystified only by the deceased.

Marriage has neither advantage or disadvantage over death but you've to understand a people from their culture. Some cultural thoughts need to be seriously looked into. Marriage in Igbo tradition isn't something that they joke with  but more importantly igbo value child bearing. That's why we've names like Nwanenyeanuri, obiechina etc. 

Marriage is a sacrament that was instituted by Christ himself and it should be encouraged.However, there's no particular age for marriage. One goes into marriage whenever he or she thinks that one is ready.

For those asking you about the statutory status of the deceased. Their intentions could be categorised into 2 ; (1) if he's married , what will happen to his family (2) if he's not married, his lineage has ended.

Death gives no information before taking one. 


May we continue to pray for the happy repose of Ejike and may we also accept the fact that our own date can be anytime.

 On the Death of Ejike Eze 

Ejike died at 37


Nwanne m lawanuo. Chineke nna kporo gi o. Nwanne m jee zuru ike n' ogu ebiela.

As an African, I have been very much aware of this ideology but I saw it most now that I am mourning Ejike Eze. Some after consoling me will ask me if he was married and I will answer innocently “No” as it should be and I got three comments that made me to write this. 

One person said, he was late already for not marrying till now. 

The other said, Chai, he should have married before now. And the last person said, 

Why has he not married, at least…… Continue Reading.......
