Sir Diogo was one of the Portuguese Slave Merchants who were warehousing their slaves in Bonny Island, in Biafra- a part of present day Nigeria and Cameroun. He had an untamed sweet tingling for Igbo women. One of his victims was Ugegbe who he made his chief cook and a sex toy. She later had a son, Dios for him who was a replica of his father, Sir Diogo. Little Dios was growing under his mother who although was black like other slaves but did not appear as one, because she was not on chains like them. Great childhood moment out there he had until something crossed his path. But what was it? Things changed for worse for Ugegbe when Sir Diogo ordered for the delay of slave ship that was to ferry his captured slaves to designated markets outside the motherland- Africa. The order came when Sir Diogo spotted a little girl later known in the Slave Island as Meremebere. That was not her real name. It was her dialectic word for begging. Meremebere means ‘have mercy on me’. That was her pleading word to Sir Diogo to have mercy on her. She was brought to Slave Island a virgin. She was a toddler of Dios’ age. The screaming coming out from the mouth of that little girl for the two nights that Sir Diogo invaded her still-developing vagina couldn’t let Ugegbe to sleep. She was so enraged for the torture that little girl was subjected to. Her facial expressions of disgust about the atrocity of Sir Diogo earned her a very fatal punishment that changed the future of slave trade in the whole of Biafra. When her rebukes of Sir Diogo’s act attracted the bile of Sir Diogo, he ordered that Ugegbe, the mother of his child to be captured, chained, emptied into slave ship and be shipped with the other slaves. Her son was just a little boy but he was able to understand that his mother was actually forced into the slave ship, against her will. When he questioned what was going on, Sir Diogo told him that his mother was forced to go and fetch him a winter jacket in Portugal. It was the dawn of confusion in his consciousness as a child until something happened. What happened? Dios had a half-brother and a half-sister living in Lisbon- Portugal with their mother- Sir Diogo’s wife. A day to meet them was a day little Dios was very much eager to see. But when they finally visited Biafra, Dios was made to understand that family was not necessarily an association of bloodily related people, because Sir Diogo made sure that Dios never had an opportunity to interact with his family. He never introduced him as his son but ‘like a son’ in the Slave Island. This changed Dios forever. How was he going to repay his father back? Dios started meditating on the memory of his mother, Ugegbe and started seeing reasons to avenge for her disappearance. But who would pay the price actually? Evesto was Sir Diogo’s second son, biologically, but he was the only son Sir Diogo recognised as his son. Dios on the other hand was like a special slave just like his mother before she was sold even though he was his first son. When Sir Diogo was planning to have retirement in Portugal, he had one plan in the box and that was how to welcome his son, Evesto in Biafra, to hand his business over to him. The only challenge he had facing him was how to bring Dios into an understanding that he had gotten a responsibility, to protect the business interest of Evesto when he finally arrives. At the same time, he was somewhat uncomfortable with Dios since he left the house and got himself one outside Sir Diogo’s compound. Now, the slave managers had slipped off from the good book of Dios. How would sir Diogo’s business thrive when for change Dios had embraced himself as a Biafran/Red Eboe and went ahead to sacrifice his courtship/romance with a fellow mullato lady who was not ready to see slavery the way he now was looking at it? A SHY WORLD WAR sums up the original state of the land of the Igbos, the slavery that met them, the colonialism that ran wild through their remains, their role in the World War 11, the agitation for independence, the coups that took over, the pogrom that dealt with them, the Biafran/Civil war they had to fight, the unification of Nigeria and the written and the unwritten constitutions that were used against them and the fate that remains undecided that hovers around their hopes.
