The Second Death Of Goodluck Tinubu - Plot & Excerpts
Kubu and Joy made a point of visiting his parents every Sunday after church. This Sunday Kubu and Joy decided to bring the lunch so his mother could have a relaxed day. Of course, his father never cooked. He spent his time tending a small garden of vegetables and medicinal herbs at the back of the house. Joy had a great love for her in-laws, and they treated her as a daughter. When Joy was fifteen, her mother died of tuberculosis, leaving her thirty-five-year-old husband to care for Joy, her brother, Sampson, and sister, Pleasant. In typical African fashion, he was supported by his and his wife’s families, who absorbed the children into their lives and homes. But five years later, he suffered a massive heart attack and died within a few days. Sampson was then twenty-one, Joy twenty, and Pleasant eighteen. The children sold their father’s general dealer’s shop, and so had a little money for the future. Joy and Pleasant took a secretarial course and decided to move to the capital, Gaborone, where there was more work and a larger pool of single men.
