MARRIAGE IS A PRIVATE AFAIR (05 marks) Nnaemeka was doubtful about how he was to break the news of his love affair with Nene to his parents. He was sure the news would upset his parents because they would be unhappy that the engagement was not arranged by them. Besides Nene did not belong to his native tribe. She was an Atang and not an lbo. After much contemplation Nnaemeka decided it was wise to break the news in person rather than in writing. The next letter from his father revealed his father s desire to get him married to a girl named Ugoye, the eldest daughter of their neighbour Jacob Nweke. That December when Nnaemeka went home he expressed his unwillingness to marry Ugoye because he did not love her. He added that he desired to marry Nene. Nene was described to his father as a good Christian and teacher in school in Lagos. But father reproached her profession. St. Paul in his letter to Corinthians clearly stated that women should keep silence. Besides she was an Atang. And it was never heard in the lbos that one married an outsider. The news spread to the lbo community. And the men came up with many explanation. Some believed that the scripture had come true. Sons have risen against their fathers. Others felt he was the victim of a spell and suggested the consultation of a native doctor. But Nnaemeka s father paid no heed to his tribesmen. He let his son meet his own fall. 5

6 Six months later Nnaemeka married Nene. He had sent his wedding picture to his parents but it got returned mutilated with Nene cut off. Nnaemeka consoled Nene that things would soon change for the better. And they did. The lbo women who were hostile to her in the beginning began to accept her and admitted that she managed the house far better than most of them. But Nnaemeka s father still remained antagonistic towards his son. Then one day he received a letter from Nene. It talked of his grandsons who having learnt that they had a grandfather insisted on seeing him. The picture of his grandsons melted his resolution a pang of regret creeped in and that night he slept with a fear harbouring in his heart that he might die without making it up to them. (A) State if the following are true or false 1. Nene was an Ibo. ( ) 2. Nnaemeka didn t want to marry Ugoye because she did not belong to his tribe. ( ) 3. Nene was a teacher in Lagos. ( ) 4.
