Chief Nwakpuda: The Forgotten Hero of Umuahia

History has a selective memory, choosing who to remember and who to forget. For those it remembers, it carefully crafts their stories, passing them down from generation to generation. But for those it chooses to forget, history never truly erases them. It simply tells their stories in different ways, at different times. And amidst it all, history never forgets a single thing.

Chief Nwakpuda was a renowned king and fearless warrior in his time. He adamantly opposed the construction of a rail line through his village, believing it would endanger the women of his kingdom. Even after the rail line was built, he remained steadfast in his refusal to let the train pass through.

So, on the day of the train's test-run, fueled by his unwavering vow, Nwakpuda prepared himself. News of the event had reached his ears through the town-criers, and without revealing his plans, he sharpened his war cutlass. With determination in his eyes, he made his way to the rail track, ready to defend his father's land.

As the train approached, the driver spotted Nwakpuda standing tall with his weapon. The train's horn blared, but it only fueled Nwakpuda's resolve. He mocked the approaching "animal," taunting it for crying before he had even touched it. Firmly grounded, he stood ready to strike. And alas, the inevitable occurred. He was crushed on the unforgiving rail track.

But here's the twist - the white men, the British colonial masters, were deeply moved by Nwakpuda's unwavering heroism. They saw him as a true legend. To honour his sacrifice, they built an epitaph at the very spot where he perished. Nwakpuda did not die in vain. He became a symbol of courage and a forgotten hero finally recognized for his extraordinary bravery.

Drink water where your horse drinks, a horse will never drink bad water. Make your bed where the cat sleeps peacefully. Eat fruit touched by a worm. It fearlessly collects mushrooms on which insects perch. Plant a tree dug by the mole. Dig a hole where the birds hide from the heat. Sleep and wake up at the same time as the birds, you will reap the golden grains of life. Eat more greens, you will have stronger legs and a resilient heart like the spirit of the forests. Look at the sky more often and talk less so that silence can enter your heart for absolute peace of mind.

Killwe Nwachukwu born in early 30s. A Native of Ogwa, Mbaitoli in Imo state was for more than two decades celebrated as a homegrown Nigerian “superman.” Some of his legendary feats of strength included lifting buses, having cement blocks crushed on his head, and allowing cars to drive over his body.

A great natural Superman! Nwozuzu Nwachukwu (Son of God). Legend has it that “Killi We” was a nickname he got after a fight with a stubborn man who refused to pay him for a truck load of goods he conveyed from the market to the man’s home. He used to push a wooden two wheel truck with which he carried goods for people.

Back then lorries and pick up trucks were few and expensive to hire. So after dropping off the goods, the man refused to pay what Nwachukwu charged claiming it was too high. He tried to walk away and Nwachukwu grabbed him by the hand insisting he must pay. A fight ensued and he lifted, slammed and pinned the man to the ground. The man’s wife ran into the house and came out with a wooden pestle to defend her husband. Nwachukwu snatched it from her, lifted the woman up and pinned her on top of her husband on the ground. Powerless, she started screaming, Killi we o! Nwachukwu, You must Killi we o!” meaning, Nwachukwu, kill us! He claimed his strength came from eating 'Utara akpu' (Cassava fufu).

Killiwe Nwachukwu was admired by many of us for his strength back in the 80s.

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM
Ep. 4️⃣
THE SACRIFICE
The prophecy, now fully deciphered, revealed a chilling truth: a sacrifice of royal blood was the only means to avert the impending catastrophe that threatened Uzoma. The weight of this revelation bore down heavily on Adanma, Olachi, and Tochi as they contemplated the dire implications.
It was a night of uncertainty and foreboding when the three returned to Uzoma, their minds heavy with the burden of the knowledge they had unearthed. They knew that to act on the prophecy was to court a catastrophe of a different kind — the death of their beloved king, Obiora.
King Obiora had sensed a change in the air, and the disquiet that gripped his kingdom did not escape his notice. He was unaware of the unfolding events in the Forbidden Forest, but he understood that something ominous was afoot. As the ruler of Uzoma, he held the destiny of his people close to his heart and would stop at nothing to protect them.
News of the prophecy and the requirement of royal blood as a sacrifice reached the ears of the kingdom's leaders. Panic and uncertainty spread like wildfire, threatening to unravel the unity and prosperity that had defined Uzoma for generations. Chiefs Obilo, Ezeadi, and Emeka found themselves torn between their loyalty to the king and their duty to the kingdom.
The shadow of doom now loomed over Uzoma, and the people whispered of the curse that had haunted the Forbidden Forest for centuries. The tranquil kingdom was thrown into chaos as it grappled with the looming disaster and the impossible choice that had befallen them.
The fate of King Obiora, the fate of Uzoma, and the very essence of their way of life hung in the balance. The challenge was daunting, the stakes were harrowing, and the solution remained enigmatic. Uzoma's future depended on the courage and wisdom of its people as they confronted the chilling truth revealed in the prophecy and sought to decipher the path to salvation.
