Chapter 1
The day I was born by the local midwife in our village I thought perhaps it would have been the happiest day of my parents but sadly I was wrong again. My mother told me, after the delivery out of excitement she asked the midwife the sex of the baby, the midwife kept quiet and was looking a tad bit confused. My mother repeated the question in case the midwife was going deaf due to age. The midwife cleared her throat and said "it is alive" my mother angry and getting more anxious by the minute shouted "eheee? Na boy or girl?"
"my dear calm down let me check again!"
"okay". The midwife then stuttered,
"my dear let us call the ukochukwu(pastor) let him pray and give us the answer"

The Pastor took his sweet time getting there. After all he was the only one present in the village. On seeing me his face took a puzzled expression and asked the midwife :
"when was it born ?"
"about an hour ago? Ukochukwu what do we tell the father when he gets here, this is the fifth child and the first four were all females, let us say it is a male"
"but it looks like a female, this is one of God's wonders"
"wonders kwa?ukochukwu ihe a bu Alu !!(pastor this is an abomination!!)"
