"Sorrows Of An Eagle"

Episode 1
Most often than not, we see the rich become richer with each passing day, and the poor lavish in hunger and poverty each passing second, but with the people of Nyakrom, human status was of no relevance.
People moved about their normal duties without regarding the next person. Strangers loved to settle in this village. It would have been better if the village was named "Ahot)".
Their lands were very fertile with rich yields.
God indeed had blessed them with many resources and above all,a wise chief to lead them.

The chief,  "Nana Aduhene Sekyi" ,was a Christian who was well vexed with the Christian doctrine.
He abolished idol worship in the village, because he believed God was the giver and owner of all things. He had the right to cause anything to happen.
Nana Aduhene Sekyi was twenty-eight years when he got married to his beautiful wife. It took them 11 years for the wife to take seed. He waited patiently on his God.

During delivery, Oheneyere Asantewaa became very weak. She couldn't gather enough strength to push the baby out.
Alas! The baby was out. It was a hairy bouncy baby boy. It was cute.
People jubilated. Yes! God had done it again.
But wait! He didn't cry. He looked very pale and stiff. The traditional birth attendant did all she could to revive the baby but he was already gone. He had been deprived of oxygen for too long.
He was dead.

How could God do this to a faithful servant who worshipped Him with all his might and power? After eleven years of patience, all He could do was to give and claim it back?
No, something must have been wrong. Whatever was wrong needed to be rectified.
The chief went to his room, locked up the door and laid naked before God.
"Father, naked I was born. I came into this world with nothing. You have every right to take everything away from me. If it is your will, grant unto this family another child. Don't let my enemies make mockery of me",he continued to lament.

As he picked his dress to put on, he heard someone bang his door.
He wondered who could do that. He dressed up and opened the door.
His wife pushed him away and entered. He shut the door, locked it and went to sit beside his wife.
"Woman, what is after you? Why do you look soo angry and tired? Talk to me. Who is after the queen mother of Nyakrom?", the king asked?
"The queen of what? ....she interrupted...don't make mockery of my womanhood. We are almost in the 12th year and there is no cry of a baby in this palace. The one your God gave us is what He greedily took away".
"Listen woman,you better shut up before I teach you how to do it. You don't sit there and say blasphemous words against the one who has made you who you are. I will take no nonsense from you. I'm the man here so leave me to complain", he said and left the room leaving behind Oheneyere Asantewaa.
