Ekene

What will I write today?

Honestly? I am tired. I am tired of the stress this girl puts me through. I sincerely believe life would be better without this stupid boy;

Ekene.

Ekene is a symbol of disappointment, so bad that his name in the village was used either as a metaphor or as a Synonym.

"Don't be like Ekene" A mother would say to her sons, and fathers would distance their daughters from that compound. Ekene made everyone disassociate themselves with that family.

Ekene was a lot of things, but one stood him out, Trouble. I came in contact with Ekene when I brought my family to meet his, as i planned to make his sister my bride. He was nice to me, so nice that i thought he was showing people an alter personality. After I married Amaka, I settled cases more often than I had ever done in my life, and although he was my brother-in-law, I always told my kids;

Don't be like Ekene.
