African True Stories - Difficulty in having a child
I am African and indeed some places are 'Shitholes' but I will not dwell on that today. I will talk about a couple who after their marriage cannot have children.
They have been married, they sleep on the same bed everyday at least every night not that they must do it every night but they really do it a lot, but nothing is happening as in no child. In Africa we value children a lot and most importantly the male child. Thus the burden to conceive is phenomenal. Naturally the wife will start feeling the pressure but the husband will console her and pretend as if as modern educated man operating in the time of blockchain technology, he really does not care. After Nnamdi and wife Lilian has gone to all medical hospitals but no result, they will visit the trending Fertility centres but still nothing is seen to be wrong with them, and nothing is changing.
Their finances are channeled into whatever will enable them to conceive and they don't have social life and hardly meets sexually for fun but for conception. That is the danger. No love, no romance, just a goal.
While their parents are praying for them and hoping to see their grandchild before leaving this wicked world, Nnamdi and Lilian hear of a new Operation 5000 Babies crusade.
Prophet Dr. G.O.D eVil is coming to the city and all those who have been barren will soon conceive. The posters are littered on the streets, pictures of white babies downloaded from the internet illegally are used to show the black victims the type of child God is preparing to bless them with. Everyone is talking about this new unknown prophet and the mighty works he does in the people's homes.
On the day of miracle, there will be prayer session with the couple during which time, the force behind the predicament will be revealed. Of course the easiest culprit is the innocent poor woman in the village, whose only son will stop taking care of because of the utterances of the Prophet. "Your mother is a witch" he reveals under the influence of the spirit. In his dark mind, he is laughing as he is about to tear apart family. The man initially resisted and refused to accept such allegation but coming from the mouth of servant of above, who is he to argue and loose his blessing. It is far much better to loose the mother and gain a child but there is more danger, he will even loose the wife.
The search of a child for this couple goes beyond the story of Abraham and Sarah where none of the parents are accused of their misfortune. Gullible men using the name of the Almighty to deceive the innocent. How will Lilian finally conceive and give birth to a son that resembles Nnamdi?
