Akuo-Ehohnzi
The Last Traditional Burial
When beautiful Ema is born, her father, Nkumbe,
is overjoyed. Two of his friends, Ahetug and Esokang,
both recent fathers of sons, ask for Ema's hand in
marriage. Nkumbe promises his daughter to both
men's sons. Later, he realizes he's created quite
a problem for his daughter. As the situation is
dilemmatic to Nkumbe and his daughter, so is it
embarrassing to Esokang and Ahetug.
Bitterness emanates from both households.
When Sume, his son and a great hunter, returns
from the forest with a panther, Nkumbe organizes
a dance. Both are excellent dancers, but Ema,
whose father has given instructions, chooses Esokang.
Farfetched stories indicate there had been a slave
in Ahetug's background. This declaration is annoying
and humiliating and thus leads to Ahetug creating
his own village. This opens the door for the colonial
master to penetrate the region. Nkumbe stands
against the clamor for change and decides to join
his ancestors.
