"MY GOD, MY GOD…
I’m tempted to question God, but I won’t. Not today, not tomorrow and not even forever. Never ever will I do that. And in spite of how much death has dared me.
My youngest sister, the baby of the house and our last born, the ever cheerful and gregarious Augusta Chinonso Azuh, a final year student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (in Ogun State), just died in an auto crash.
I’m crest fallen and devastated beyond words. Yet I won’t question my God. I won’t even ask anybody why a tragedy of this numbing proportion should visit my family again, and so soon after the demise of our patriarch, Ichie Azuh Chimezie, Ezeoma of Azia.
God! My God, my God… Please, all I ask for now is your strength to carry on as the new head of the family; that strength that surpasses all understanding.
Ogoo! Obere nwa nnem! Ka eme sia!"
