man who believed that one day Faith would smile on him and give him abundant wealth unfortunately almost at the age of 45 Faith hadn’t smiled on him hea was not born a poor man he has not always been a poor man ikenga was in fact born with a silver spoon his father Chief nangi was a very rich and powerful man he was the first fertilizer Merchant in the whole Kingdom the first man in the village to trade directly with the white men he married EA’s mother Obagi when his first wife could not bear him a child after 3

years of marrying obagel she bore him a son whom he named ikena ikena grew up in wealth and luxury being an only child his father pampered him and showered him with all the love in the world unfortunately EA’s life took a different turn when his father the great Chief passed away whena was 27 years old being the only child and only son EA inherited all his father’s wealth however he could not sustain his Wealth Beyond his 30th birthday the first thing ikenga did after his father’s funeral was to marry the most beautiful spiners in the

village twin sisters n and Nika he married both sisters the same day in a lavish wedding ceremony six months later he married another beautiful twin sisters Zita and Zara from a neighboring Village in an even bigger wedding ceremony he built four different elegant HS for his four wives ikena became very extravagant he would always look for Avenues to Showcase his wealth every month he would throw a big party in his compound inviting the whole village when his mother became tired of her son’s extravagant lifestyle she sat him

down one day and told himer I don’t like the way you are spending your father’s money carelessly you should be focused on building your father’s business instead of wasting his money ikga in his defense replied his mother Mama it’s my money moreover the business is doing do just fine so please allow me enjoy my life ikenga once again decided to add another feather in his capup this time around he decided to take a chiefy title Chief teni in agulu was the exclusive Preserve of the worthiest men in the land Ika didn’t

mind he could afford it so he was ready to do all it would take to get it he approached the king to discuss the matter with him to his greatest surprise the king did not hesitate to give his approval he gave ikenga all the conditions and told him to come back when he was ready few weeks later EA was conferred with a chief sensy title the whole village gathered for the ceremony which was held for 3 Days Chief ikenga as he now chose to be called became the youngest Chief in the Kingdom he was the talk of the whole Kingdom and Beyond the

accolate The Prestige and the respect that came with his new status was a thing of Pride to him but after 2 years of marriage just like his father ikenga had no child despite having four wives none of them conceived again he married his fifth wife the daughter of a prominent Chief in the village as usual a big wedding ceremony was held with all the Chiefs in the village and neighboring villages in attendance after the wedding he built a new H for his new bride the same way he built for his other four wives weeks

after the wedding ikenga received news from the company that supplied him fertilizers that they were shutting down their operation in the region due to political instability and changes in economic policies this meant he needed another supplier otherwise he would be out of business he went to all the major fertilizer producers and suppliers but failed to conclude a deal with any of them when his mother got winded of the information she advised ikenga now that things are like this I think it’s high time you started cutting down on your

expenses an extravagant lifestyle and start looking for alternative business to invest your money ikena told her mama you worry too much this is just a temporary setback I’m working on it soon everything will go back to the way they were unfortunately for EA things never got back to the way they were in order to maintain his chiefly lifestyle and his five beautiful wives he started selling his land and properties in no time EA depleted all his inheritance and was left with nothing except the house he was living in when the wives noticed

things had gotten so bad for their beloved husband they started Living one after the other after all they had no children tying them to him IA the son of the great Chief once the youngest Chief in aulu once named among the richest men in the land the one whose name was on the lips of everyone and in every song in the land whose Fame spread far and wide throughout the whole realm is now nothing but a pper Obagi his mother the same person he refused to listen to when he had it all now became his only hope of survival everyone else turned their

backs on him including his Five Wives and fellow Chiefs whom he used to mingle with his mother was the only person that stood by AA she would cook for him give him money to take care of himself and do almost everything else for him this continued until a few years later when Obagi fell sick and passed away too lazy to do any work EA sold his house the only asset he had left and used part of the money to rent a small H in no time he squandered the remaining money on women and palm wine when he was unable to continue paying his rent he was

chased out of the H so IA became homeless moving from one abandoned building to another and begging for arms to survive e kenga now 45 years old stopped enjoying the favors he was enjoying in the village in his earlier years as a beggar so he started helping the market women carry their goods from their homes or stores to the market in the morning then back in the evening in exchange for money that became his full-time job he would resume in the morning and walk till evening when the market closed he was doing that every Market Day with

that he was able to earn enough money to feed himself one faithful day after the close of Market a very beautiful woman approached EA and said to him would you help me with my load I am going to the edge of the village the boundary between aulu andoria ikena was all struck by her beauty he didn’t hear anything the Pretty Woman was saying when she didn’t get any response from him she asked him again now with a shout would you help me yes yes I will EA replied so ikenga carried her load and started walking behind her the woman was surprised that

ikenga didn’t talk about payment with her on their way ikenga was lost in admiration of the Pretty Woman in all his years in the village he had never seen a woman as beautiful as her they walked for over an hour without saying a word to each other until she got to her destination when they got there with a white smile on her face she thanked EA then said no one has ever helped me carry my load this far most of the people walk away once they hear I’m coming to the edge of the village While others after charging exorbitant fee

would drop my load halfway and walk away Ika said to her you can’t blame them in our nature of walk such long distance is a waste of one’s precious time out of curiosity the woman asked him if it’s a waste of time why then did you agree to help me without even charging me ikenga smiled and said I knew if I didn’t help no one else would and I couldn’t afford to see you get stranded in the market the woman was moved with emotions she asked ikenga how much she would pay him and the ker told her to give him anything she had so the woman

brought out a small Crystal Ball from her PR and gave it to ikenga ikenga was surprised a crystal ball he asked himself he examined the crystal ball then asked what do I do with this she told him it will bring Good Fortune to you but you must keep it safe and protect protect it with your whole life there was a mix of confusion and excitement on a Ker’s face he thanked her and walked away when he got home he made a special bag to store his crystal ball he would take the crystal ball with him everywhere he went just to keep it

safe exactly 7 days after his encounter with a strange woman a ker was in the market one day when a young couple Oba and his wife Adobe asked him if he could help them carry their goods to the neighboring Village without hesitation he accepted they negotiated and concluded on the prize after dropping off the goods at their home Oba paid him double the amount they agreed EA was very excited no one had ever shown him such generosity City Oba then asked him can you help us carry our girl to and from different Villages every day ikenga

thought for a while then told him yes I can they agreed that he would resume the following day so EA started working for the young couple full time after 6 months of working with them he was able to buy a small piece of land and and buildt a small h on it ikenga started picking himself back up again after 12 months of working together the couple called a kga to further discuss their business they told him about the road the local government was planning to construct across all the villages that made up the kingdom and

how oba’s Uncle who was a permanent secretary in the ministry of works had helped him secure the contract to supply Granite for the road construction OB had told EA once the construction starts we won’t have time going from Village to Village to do our business so we would want you to be fully in charge of the business ikenga was lost for wordss he gladly accepted their offer and thanked them for considering him Worthy to be entrusted with such huge responsibility so ikga started handling the entire business all by himself a txk

he performed so well so much that he expanded the business across more Villages soon ikenga became so rich richer than he thought he could ever be but there was one thing missing in his life a companion he told him himself now that I have everything I need a wife someone I can raise my children with and with whom I would grow old the thought of the pretty woman that changed his fortune came to his mind but where can I see her again he asked himself every Market day after work a ker would walk from the market to the

point he parted ways with a pretty woman he was doing that repeatedly until one day when he finally saw her in the market he was overwhelmed with joy the woman was also very happy to see him especially the new him they exchanged pleasantries when IA offered to help her carry her load but she refused Ika son of nanii you can’t be seen carrying load in the market not when you are looking this handsome she said teasingly ikena was surprised she knew his name but then realized everyone in the village knew his name for one reason

or the other they sat down under a mango tree by the market hea told her all that had happened to him since the last time they saw she was very happy for him and reminded EA to keep the crystal boss safe because his fortune depended on it before they departed he kenga invited her to his house but she told him today is not the best time but next Market Day expect me at your place EA left her that day with so much joy in his heart knowing the next Market Day the pretty woman would be coming to his house house

all through that week EA could only think of one thing the visit of the Pretty Woman in the morning of her visit ikenga cleaned the house thoroughly swept the compound and prepared different kinds of foods while still tidying up the house he heard a knock on his door who Could That Be he asked himself because he wasn’t expec in anyone he reluctantly opened the door to his greatest surprise it was the pretty womana was taking her back he didn’t know what to say the woman then asked him would you let me in of course you

can come in IA said stammering the woman sat in the sitting room and complimented his house and his taste in Furniture he came asked if he could offer her anything and she told him what her would do they chatted heartly for hours over lunch ikenga finally told her how he felt about her and that he would want her as his wife she said to Hima you are known to be a man of charm and sweet words but the woman you see here is not the kind you would want as a wife he was confused how do you mean Ika asked she told him I am not from this

Village nor am I from this Kingdom I am not human a Cher round down his spine he was even more confused at this time if you are not from the village or from the kingdom I can understand but saying you are not human I don’t understand understand that ikenga said with his voice shaking I am a snake fear gripped ikena he was speechless for a moment then he asked where are you from do snakes get married she was confused and said what kind of question is this you were supposed to be scared and run away like every normal humans do

ikenga laughed then boastfully said I am ikenga the son of uni The Fearless leopard of aulu I fear no one if you are truly a snake you should know that by now I want you as my wife and I’ll do anything to make that happen the Pretty Woman smiled at him and softly asked EA the Fairless leopard of aulu do you even know my name ikga felt embarrassed at this point why didn’t I asked her her name all this while he asked himself he replied her I don’t need a name all I know is you are the prettiest creature I have ever set my eyes on she looked at

him in dismay you are really a sweet talker well my name is ad she said ad daughter of a snake who bear such a name ikenga questioned himself finally ikga prevailed upon adaga to marry him which she reluctantly accepted but gave him four conditions that there will be no marriage ceremony he would never get to meet her people she would bear him no children and she would be the the only woman in his life all four conditions were as difficult for a ker as passing a camel through the eye of a needle but he accepted

regardless so from that moment ad became EA’s wife ikenga would flood his new wife at any given occasion to avoid any confusion regarding her name he simply introduced her to people as and that she was from a very far away Landa loved ad like he never loved any other woman from the moment EA married AAG his wealth and Fortune took a different turn he was confused he didn’t know what was happening he was married to the goddess of wealth and good fortune so it seemed his wealth increased tremendously that the whole

village was in awe no one understood what was happening to a kinger the more money he spent the more money he got after 3 years of marriage EA now a chief and the richest man in the village sat his wife at D down to discuss a very pressing matter with her he started ad you know I love love you so much more than anything in this world for a man of my status it is an Abomination not to have children especially a son who would inherit my wealth when I go to join my fathers in the great beyond ad looked at him intensely then

Saida I hope you are not insinuating what I’m thinking ikga answered her that is exactly what I’m saying you would bear me a child or allow me take another wife who would bear me one ad let out a loud laugh then said did you think it was a joke when I told you I wouldn’t bear you children and I would be the only woman in your life IA replied firmly and confidently of course I knew it was a joke who in his right senses wouldn’t want to have children she responded this time with a harsh tone The Joke is on you then because I

meant every word I said and there’s no going back now except you are ready to lose it all she said and walked away it ker was surprised and confused at the same time is this woman really serious is she really who she said she is he asked himself 2 months after they had the discussion Ika decided to take for himself a new wife to Bear him children against warning he discussed the matter with two of his close friends his fellow Chiefs they were both of the opinion that he should get another wife to Bear him children one of the Chiefs told

Hima you are the richest man this Kingdom has ever seen you have the means to take care of as many wives and children as you desire the other Chief caught in and said I know how much you cherish your wife Ada but you mustn’t let her control you in fact you should be the one controlling her after listening to his friends ia’s decision to marry a second wife was reaffirmed so he began making plans towards finding a new wife all the Chiefs and prominent men in the village started offering their daughters to a ker for marriage after weeks of

searching he finally decided to marry Chica the beautiful daughter of Chief di EA told ad of his decision to marry Chica and that after the marriage chica would move into the house as his second wife the only thing a d was said to him was our people Haven saying that he who invites the Masquerade for a dance must be willing to watch him dance till the Enda I hope you are ready to watch this dance to the end what do you think happened next is a d really a snake did the ker succeed in marrying a second wife wife did he lose
