About the Book
In the land that the Diaspora takes pain to avoid, a natural wealthy continent that strangers would be too happy to possess, is accursed. Didn't their ancestors commit a terrible crime, selling their flesh and blood into slavery, stealing their lands? Yet they have kept a blind eye, with no sign of remorse. In'oni is a woman, therefore discovers it in time, and declares war to turn the situation around. Try and commit that crime today, and see, if you can get away with it, she reasons, prompting Prophet X to comment, ''God has been just from eternity, he won't let the unrepentant guilty go free.'' She is a freedom vet of the 1950s and wants to break the curse and free Chwai-nseri from stagnancy. She is insisting that, the land must be inventive, and the home that the dispersed should be proud of, since it's where they belong. One thing she is unaware of is, she is treading on dangerous grounds. The brave woman suddenly finds herself chased by an uninvited eighty year old clergy, which she abhors. She is confronted by Derby, whose new name is Tono. The British immigrant is highly obsessed with environment preservation. The highly spiritual millionairess, views In'oni's long term goal of awakening inventiveness, as a threat. In the village there also live hundreds of In'oni's late comrades offspring. Upfront Bembea, keeper of the royal drum, which has witchcraft powers to dominate, is pressurizing the restoration of the over five-century-old monarchy, which was abolished during independence, in the sixties. Tono would do anything to acquire the mystic drum. The drum, a royal symbol of authority, the history of which dates back to the fifteenth-century, lies unattended in a shrine surrounded by the bush and snakes. Mr. Charity is a politician, who did great favours to most villagers in the past, for which many owe him gratitude. The man is an ex-sailor, a European Lottery winner and a womanizer. He is also HIV positive and many of his lovers have died because of him. Kasuku is a manipulator, who was born blind, and would take every opportunity to make money. They are villagers, who find themselves in an environment populated by invisible beings, and an old man whom some took to be handy, as an experienced psychic, while the others count him as a wizard, and a bad man. It is a situation where an individual's religious belief must become an issue, and if the adored beings were human dominions, they would be provoked to jealousy. But, how does the audience respond to the message of 'Apology to our flesh and blood for selling them into slavery'?-One of the quests that makes In'oni feel she would rather die than live to see her nation in perpetual state of mediocrity and disgrace. Chwai-nseri has a tropical warm weather all year around. Except for what looked like endless farms of banana plantations with their wide-shadow-providing leaves, and of course other vegetation peculiarity, iGera village has always been like any other place on earth-obeying the laws of nature, which science took trouble to scrutinize, then grant honourable titles such as force of gravity. But In'oni comes into the scene only to see nature becoming wayward, going against its own laws. Can anything hinder a woman, with such a drive from spreading what she takes to be an essential life changing, brotherly relations message? But, when nature is so unpredictable, how does one know, a cow would wake up one morning, arrest and accuse her of stealing its milk? There is another controversy: In her sight, Chwai-nserians are blind. To her close associates, she has no insight, and they would persuade you, almost to believe she is blind. How could they dare! In'oni is a woman driven by her freedom days' goals, like a teacher, determined to educate her people and rid them of false knowledge, and if possible scrub their brains with soap and a brush. 'Guilty Conscious Woman, In'oni' is a Sci-fiction story set in 1998, in an imaginary contine
