Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 20

When Mr. Okonkwo was approached by his brother, Nnamdi, about the theft allegation on his son, he knew that his brother was telling him the truth and apologized. He had been too busy with his business and had no time to monitor his children. He provided them with whatever they needed. He felt in that way, that they would be content with what they had. But he was wrong because among all his children, Obiora had been the thief in the house and whenever he was caught, he and his mother would not discipline him. She would simply say, “Obiora, I will deal with you!” No serious action was taken to stop him from stealing again. With that kind of home training, Obiora grew up to become a spoilt brat and a thief.

Obiora returned to his parents empty-handed when his evil deeds were discovered by his boss. His father was in dilemma. His mother wept bitterly and wondered why several calamities had been befalling them.

She believed in self-reliance. She wanted to be independent. Some months later, Anurika also got married to a businessman. He stopped her from being a receptionist in a hotel and set up a small business for her. She was dealer in fairy-used cloths, shoes, bags and cosmetics. She attracted several customers and made huge profits……
