Uju the new wife was given a Hut just beside Omasili's own. She has been introduced to the other wives by Ndulue himself.
That morning, she woke up early singing a loud song while washing her clothes.
Omasili came out and shouted at her in disgust.
"Why must you be singing so loud this early morning and disturbing the peace of others who are still sleeping? Kini na eme gi?(what is wrong with you?)"
"Oh.. Am sorry please, I thought.."Uju said but was interrupted
"Shut up! Thoughter.. You thought gini?? And why must you be washing your dirty clothes here? Don't u know the way to the stream? What type of bush woman did Our husband bring here kwanu?"Omasili said in disgust
Uju ignored her and continued washing her clothes slowly humming her song.
"I said stop singing!!"Omasili shouted
"But I was only humming.. I didn't sing out loud"Uju said getting tired
"Then stop humming anuofia!"Omasili screamed.
Ekemma and Adaugo came out having been woken up by the noise.
"Omasili you have started this early morning again? Why are u disturbing the new wife? Ala ona apu gi? (are u mad?)"Ekemma inquired
"She was singing and disturbing the entire neighbourhood with her grog voice.. She keeps singing like an upcoming mad woman, I myself was woken up from sleep by her continuous mad singing and I had to come out to warn her.."Omasili said eyeing Uju badly.
"I have taken too much of your insults this woman and at this juncture, I cannot take it anymore.. If u insult me one more time, it us your dead body they will take out of here"Uju said taking everyone aback because since she came, she had remained calm and they thought she was weak.
"isi gini?"Omasili inquired
Uju hissed and started singing so loud and dancing also totally ignoring the women and her washing.
Omasili and Adaugo looked at her in surprise while Ekemma busted into laughter.
"Another trouble has landed. Perfect match for both of you"Ekemma laughed harder pointing at Adaugo and Omasili
Omasili was so angry that Uju was ignoring her and playing stupid. She rushed towards Uju to pounce on her but Uju held her hand and easily dragged her down to the ground with a single hand. She had the strength of a man! Omasili screamed in pains as Uju squeezed and twisted her arm..
"Next time, I will break off your arm and throw it away to the vultures to feast on.. Old haggard fool!!"Uju said and took her hand off Omasili who was crying in pains..
Both Adaugo and Ekemma watched in surprise..
"I like this woman.. I like her so much.. This compound would be an interesting battle field from now henceforth"Ekemma laughed..

The village has gradually turned into the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. Sexual immorality brewed everywhere in the village and King Afam had to settle plenty issues as husbands caught their wives in sexual immorality with their servants and wives caught their husbands with small girls.. Plenty issues on ground that brought sleepless night to the king.
"I don't understand the reason for all these problems. Sexual issues here and there, I don't understand anymore" Afam lamented
"calm down My love, everything will be fine.."Ebere consoled
"But it's getting too much, every day new issues come up.. What do I do?"
"I think we should consult the oracles"
"Which oracle? remember Onu-agbala who is the mouthpiece of Agbala is dead"
"I know.. We can go to other Lands to seek the face of the gods.."
Afam thought for a while..
"You are right, you know.. Tomorrow, I'll send for the ichies and have a discussion to them.."
"Everything will be fine my King..Just be fine and stop thinking"Ebere assured him and he smiled..
