A Year After My Release

Its been a year after my release. A lot have happened and I have heard a lot. All these have helped me come to the full understanding of everything that happened.

And that I would share.

I discovered that the whole thing did not look as I had thought. Even though I was not aware of what really was going on and what was behind it all, I could not fail to take responsibility for the part I played. I was not informed my part, I was not told ahead of time, I was just not even thought in the beginning to be a part of the whole event but I came in. And it was risky but humans are known to be creatures of hope.

Hope is life. Without it, we would find no reason to live especially in moments when the going gets tough.

Samuel Dee is the name of Regina’s husband. He was someone you would easily take as an ordinary man. But he wasn’t. He only made himself ordinary.

He was the only son and the second child of Chief Dimka Sunday Dee, a billionaire business man who is all involved in politics. Chief Dee was a man who was so obsessed with having control. He wanted things to always go his way. He would think things out and spell out what is expected of others and they expect them to line up. This is quest to have everybody under his control was what brought a rift between him and his only son- Sam.

First of all, Sam was so not cut out for the life his Dad and Mom had planned out for him.

They wanted him to study Medicine and Surgery outside the country, graduate, do further studies and then return back to the country to establish a well furnished hospital and medical center. After which, he would launch out into politics. His Dad never really started out politics early even though he was an addict to power. He rather spent most of his life accumulating wealth. ‘You need money to buy power in Nigeria’, he would always say.

And so, he wanted his son- Sam to be the politician he never really got early enough to be. He wanted to live his life through his son. Hr wanted to achieve his political dreams through him but Sam wanted a different life. A life of his choice. A life free from his Dad’s control and this desire of his made his Dad got mad at him.
His Mom as was expected in most homes, was siding with his Dad. It was natural. A wife’s first and highest loyalty is to her husband and not to her children. The children came later because of the union she has with her husband. And so, she stood with her husband though, she was trying to get to Sam through another means other than her husband’s forceful approach.

This control game even got into the area of who Sam was to marry. They wanted him to marry a girl from an influential home and a marriage that would form or reenforce a business or political alliance. But Sam fell in love. And he would only marry for love. He fell in love with Regina, who was not from the kind of class of family that her parents would want for him to get a wife from.

“She would leave you. And you will see it. She is in for something. You would end up loosing. She doesn’t not love you. She only loves what you have and can afford. The prestige. The money. The affiliation”, his Dad had angrily said.

And true to his word, Regina left with their daughter Princess when she discovered that she was not milking from the wealth of the family since her husband had refused to have anything to do with his Dad since he had wanted to always control his life. If he allowed a kobo from his Dad, he would feel he had the right to come a d run his marriage and that would not happen. But the woman he had married- Regina was almost like her Dad- manipulative and given to lust for luxurious living.
