[Music] this poor man can have it's no loss to me in fact this is the kind of person she should get married to so she accepted once upon a time in a distant Village called mui there lived a kindhearted man named chidy chidy had two wives his first wife was a daby and the second wife was a b adbi was a very gentle and kind woman she was loved by everyone she had a beautiful daughter named OSI 8 years have passed since she Hadi kids were no longer coming she could no more have children which

saddened her deeply because of this chid's family made trouble with ADI urging chidy to marry his second wife which he bluntly refused one day Mama Chidi came to visit see them in their house in aquaa town where chidy and his wife lived adabi was very happy to see her mother in-law since she had not seen her for a while ah Mama you're welcome oh how was your trip she happily asked her as she tried to take a luggage from her I will be fine when you give my son children I want grandchildren not a grandchild

what if anything happens to her I'll be left with none please please don't ask me if I'm fine you know I'm not fine and I won't be until you give me more grandchildren after dropping her mother-in-law's luggage she went straight to her room and cried all through her stay in the house ma refused to talk to ad daby or eat anything she prepared chid's mother urged him to marry a second wife hoping for more grandchildren mama I love my wife so much and God has blessed us with a beautiful intelligent and hardw working daughter and

she's enough now seem enough what is enough enough for where she's not though we want more grandchildren we want a full house we know she's everything you've mentioned and we love her but we want more to be on the safer side when the pressure became too much ad be pleaded with her husband to get his second wife chid refused but when she kept begging he had to listen to her so Chidi married a belly who seemed nice at first but soon showed her true colors a was not kind like a dby she had two daughters

amaka and AA and two sons OB and uch for chid unlike E's children were not kind and often behaved badly just like their mother who always caused a lot of trouble in the house sometimes chidy will travel with his lovely wife had that be to a neighboring town to have a quiet time with his wife just so they could rest from a B's troubles one day while returning from a friend's wedding at his hometown M their car was involved in a gasly accident both shidi and Adai died this saddened gs's heart as she was lonely

and alone tears became undel breed one day while she was crying a walked to her and said see you better stand up from here and do something useful with your life do you think your tears will bring them back you better go and wash the dishes and prepare food for me and my children to eat with ADI and chy go became very cruel to unoi she made unoi do all the house CHS and would not let her rest and often times she would not give her food till evening so she continued to suffer in hands

of her stepmother she became a maid in her own father's house each time ma came visiting pretended as though she had been very nice toosi and she never allowed her to visit omachi their grandmother as angazi grew up many young men came to ask for a hand in marriage because she was not only beautiful but also had a good heart but a Bly chased them away saying all manner of awful things about her to scare them away always saying her daughters were better suited for marriage one day whilei went on an errand for her stepmother

she mistakenly kicked a stone and fell down a poor looking and some young man helped her up his name was aa aa was dressed in old clothes and looked very poor they both exchanged pleasantries he saw her off to where she was going walked out to her house and left I think I like her he said to himself smiling I will just make her my friend and a watch her carefully and I'll make some findings to know who she really is Ema was just a common bread seller that sells bread by the roadside after making

his findings he concluded that he was going to marry her since a step mother doesn't accept goodlooking and weldy men to marry her then she will accept a poor bread seller like me perfect he said so he became a friend sometimes he will go visit her and vice versa a never complained about a maker because she felt was a kind of person she needed a very poor man so she was happy each time she saw the both of them together one day a man who had been talking to unoi about marriage came to ask for

a hand in marriage she was happy he was a good man and she was going to accept his proposal but when a realized that if she doesn't do something the marriage might work out she came up with an evil plan with her children e asked GOI to prepare food for her in-laws when the food was ready a added a lot of salt and pepper to the food when it was time to serve the foodi served the food immediately our visitors had a taste of it Des scream Med and asked who prepared the food and they

all pointed at GOI they all shouted at her is this how you will kill our son with your bad food and they left angrily GOI cried when will I ever get married all my mates are getting married A's two daughters are married to men who came for my hand in marriage when will I ever be free from this bondage she kept lamenting and crying when a maker heard about in Go's marriage he was heartbroken because he liked her and was waiting for the right time to ask for a hand in marriage well I'm happy for

her perhaps she was never mind she's my friend anyway I wish her a happy married life so he continued his business only for him to hear people whispering when he got to the scene and asked what the matter was he was surprised he knew it was the B's and workor he quickly packed his bread and ran too's house she was crying profusely it's okay stop crying I know it's not your fault have tasted your food and I know you're a good cook this is a B's underw work and I know it so he took her

to his house and she was there till evening and he walked her back home when he returned to his house he said to himself perhaps she's the one what better time to ask for a hand in Mar if not now but I wouldn't want to rush her with all this drama that has just happened I will give her a very little time then pop the question he was so excited hoping she wouldn't turn him down after a month AA asked a if he could marry GOI a laughed and thought to herself why not this poor

man can have it's no loss to me in fact this is the kind of person she should get married to she accepted knowing EMA was poor still saw kindness in his eyes and agreed to marry him he's the only friend I have and he's a very nice person though he might not have enough we can work together and make this life a better and a more conducive place for us and our children she taught so she agreed to marry him as the wedding day approached a and her daughters pretended to help but mocking and laughing

at them because they could barely afford anything they had just few drinks and food but they didn't mind after the wedding EMA tooki to his home which was far from the village SOI surprised they didn't stop at a small H as she expected but at a very big and beautiful house surrounded by Gardens and Fields with lots of maids at her B and C EMA then revealed he was not poor at all but a very wealthy man who had disguised himself to find a true and loving wife GOI was amazed and happy not because of

the wealth but because she found someone who truly loved and respected her meanwhile E's Sons were Wayward always bringing trouble to her she married of amaka and uoma to two of the rich men that once came to seek fores and in marriage but their bad characters were soon discovered AA Andi lived happily Andi always treated everyone with kindness just as she had done all her life no matter how her stepmother had treated her as time went byi Anda were known not just for their wealth but also for their generosity and kindness they often helped the

villagers with their problems and provided for those in needi never forgot how she was treated by her stepmother so she made sure to treat everyone with respect and compassion one day a big Festival was announced in the village it is an annual Festival which held once every year EMA's family has been the host after the father passed away he has hosted for the past 3 years it marked the time of the year when they got freedom from a neighboring Kingdom that held them captive for ages taking all their crops leaving them with almost nothing to

feed it was a maker's great great grandfather who took his seven sons and conquered the entire Kingdom and brought Victory to the people since then EMA's family has been treated like royalty highly esteemed there's nothing that happens in the Kingdom without the knowledge of the heads of a maka's family the ceremony is usually held in the Village Square it lasts for 7 days in three different locations part of it was at the king's Palace a mea's house and the larger part at the Village Square it's a very colorful event where lots of gifts are given

out people from far and wide usually attend this Grand Occasion including os's Village it covers a lot of dancing singing and magical performances and lots more villagers from near and far were invited and her family were also invited and preparations began for The Grand Event amaka and uoma were sent back by their husbands because of their arrogant lazy and dirty lifestyle they were caught cheating as they went out with men who were weier than their husbands uina and II were involved in a robbery attack and were caught and since then I've been in the place

custody amaka saw this as an opportunity to see rich men for themselves on repentance their mother encouraged them to look their best and should catch the attention of the most important men in the occasion they were all still as evil as ever their mother never blamed them for cheating but encouraged them to go after more richment so she could continue to live a lavish lifestyle amaka and UA worked on their best dresses and practiced Their Manners laughing and making mockery ofi amaka said heyi sorry oh people like you can never be privileged to attend such

Grand events even if you were still here you wouldn't have I hope you are still alive because we don't even know where your poor and wretched husband came from and we didn't bother to ask because we don't care as long as we don't get to see you we're okay they all laughed and continued with their preparations the day of the festival arrived and the house was filled with laughter music and delicious Aroma of traditional dishes a and her daughters went to aa's Mansion where a section of the occasion was held the preferred a maker's house

because the best gifts usually come from that section GOI glowing in a beautiful dress welcomed each guest with a warm smile making everyone feel at home as a b and her children approached the Mansion they felt nervous but hopeful they were greeted at the door byi who was surprised to see them her heart was torn she remembered the ashness with which her stepmother treated her but she managed to control her anger with a warm Smile as she welcomed them in she left her Chief maid in charge and horridly left to her room sad reminiscing Everything

E and her children had done to her in her own father's house the pain she had to Bear IMA noticed the absence of his wife and started looking for her when he couldn't find her he asked her Chief mid who told him she had gone to her room he quickly rushed there and found her crying what is the matter he asked her but she kept crying when he continued pressing on her to talk to him she told him what she had seen I understand how you feel but you should be grateful that in the end

it didn't go as they intended but the will of God prevailed be grateful to God that you're the one ing at last I know it hurts but think about the good side all the harsh and ill treatment made you the strong woman you are today and if not for our Behavior I wouldn't have met you so it's all for the good smile for me my love everything will be all right so she smiled gently and he huged her and brought her back to the festival GOI decided to let the past be and welcome them with

the same kindness she showed to other guests the festival continued with great joy and everyone enjoyed the music and dance e and her daughters bowed their heads in shame EMA went to meet them and greeted them with a warm smile he gave them lots of gifts and told them they could spend the night in the Mansion since it was a very long journey back to their place and it was already getting late and this was just the first day of the occasion they were taken to a room that was bigger than their entire house on

repentant and her daughters ploted how they would kill GOI then use some diabolic means to get a maker to marry AA she felt the wealth was just too much fori alonei refused to see them all she wanted was the dawn of the day so they could leave already little did she know that they were planning on staying longer to execute their evil plans as the evening wore on EMA noticed the effort of amaka and uoma and whispered toi perhaps they are trying to change for the betteri nodded change these two will never change except their

mother changes they won't change the festival ended late into the night guests left with happy hearts and full bellies praising GOI and maker for their Hospitality amaka Anda helped to clean up but GOI felt in her heart that these two were up to something they cannot change she said to herself moral lessons when you try to destroy what belongs to another you're only destroying your own in Luke 16:12 the Bible says if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else who will give you what belongs to you by maltreating someone else's child

your PR preparing and making that child for EAS or our future but yours will definitely be Wayward because you didn't give them the same kind of treatment and preparation when man proposes God decides Destiny can be delayed but not denied just like Joseph was sold into his Destiny if he wasn't sold wouldn't have been able to reach his Palace if a b didn't stop rich men from comingi may not have met a maker life is process and it's in phases no matter how difficult a phase may be leave it with joy all things are working
