�PREFACE
This Novel, "They died in the game of Love" is
designed to serve as' a lesson to some of our boys
and girls who feel that there is aoother heaven in
the game of love.
It narrates of a boy called Thony-the only born
of his pareots who was madly in love with a girl
called Cathe.
Not quite long, the girl was put in a family way
when both of them were in Secondary Schools.
As a result of this, the girl died in the hospital.
The girl's parents, and ,the parents of Aothony
quarrelled on the issue and thereby fighting arose,
of which Thony's mother died, and others inflicted
serious injuries among themselves.
Not quite long, Thony got another girl called
Agnes in love and put her in family way again.
While trying to put the child out, the lady died.
At 'last, Thony realising the state he drank
posion and died in his bed room.
�FORWARD
It takis many people lone intcrval to make a world.

In some of the skelchcs that follow, I see faccts
of mysclf. for in a way "I am part o f all I have
met". As TENNYSON said [hat whrre l laugh at
men's follies, it is only to proud them to recall o r
rethink tho truth is by nature ironical.
The author's natural field as I can say is pure
in the mdn3gement of social life, where boys and
girls jisphy the tinest pwxp:ios of characw. manner sentiments and emotions which giude !he
conduct of our boys.

THE STORY READS
lam Miss Comfort Ochonma, l am in great
deal of trouble. l am in a family way and d o not
know even my three boy-friends who is the father
of the child. Please, d o not blame me for having
three boy-friends at a time. I did it to have my own
back on men whq had in thc past bloughing mc,
. lauphing at me saylng t h a ~ would not had a lover.
l
What I want now is how to get o u ~ child. I
the
have already accused each of the three boys
of being the f a ~ h e of my coming child. lnfact, this
r
accusation took a great deal of wind out of each
of them. But, none has so far registered his name
as the father of the child.
What then, shall 1 d o in order to get one of
them to confirm that he is really the father of the
child?
�AUTHOR'S ADVICE
Dear Miss Comfort infact, in this respect I can
say that you a n a fool at fobrty. I think tbat you
are up to your eyes in trouble and also think that
you are a prize of fool. You have dug your grave
and will be sealed there. I d o not think that it
would be right of me to tell you to accuse one of
your boy friends of being the father of your child.
Supposing the cbild turns out not to be? The only
thing I have to advise you is to wait until your child
is delivered you may be lucky the child may resemble one of your three boy-friends and then you
will know who is the father.

ADVICE FOR BOYS & GIRLS ON
LOVE MAKISC.
When love and peace joins together.
To stamp nature's desire.
A sympathetic lover.
Is the man's best pride.
Some pcople think that they can win one's love
by b:auty alone. No, you can one's love by beauty
and character, activity io life and ability. and or
simplicity. These things matter most in the life of
one who nccds some one's love.
I know that most of you have known what is
called love, and shodd bear in mind that love are
of different kinds, thus (a) love. ro unite two together as to benefit thcmselvcs,
that
is,
8
�man and woman, a boy and a girl. Through this
we have what is known as natural love. This proves
itself in harmonious relationship with each other
as it by nature, (b) love, to snatch ford from one's
mou~h, (c) Iove, to betray one for evil o r killing,
(d) love, t o get something otherwise from one's way
and many other kinds of love. But the on: 1 meant is
that which unties two people together for something
very beneficial.
If girl's love can be won by beauty alone it
means that ugly pcople would die bacbelc or must
not have lovers in life, but it is not so because I
hhve seen a n ugly man with a fine lady as his
lover. I have also seen a lady who loves a boy
that bas no suflicient money. Why? It is because
of boy's talent in football playing that he won her
love.
If you say that you arc vgly or, that you have
no mooey and because of that you willbe,unable
to win the love o f a girl. a lady o r a woman, that is
a big false. You may say s o because you have not
known the law guiding love. One thing to bear in
mind is this, there must b e a cause for something
that is, regarding the love 1 mean: one cannot love
r e a s o n . (a) t h e
you
without a
�reason that, you have good characters, regardless
how ugly you are, (b) the reason that, you are a
'good player or good at dance, regardless how ugly
are, (c) the reason that you are a good boxer, regardless how poor o r ugly you are. (d) the reason
hat you are commanding money, regardless whether
you are hwinp onc hand o r ono leg and, or one eye.
(e) the rcason that, you always appear neat, regardless
what town you may have come from, and (f) with
a lady or a girl, the reason that, she is beautiful o r
with good manners, regardless the home sbe may have
come from.
It is great misnomer t o say that because you
are not handsome like others, therefore you cannot
win one's love. No sir, 1 d o not at all agrce wilh
you. Please. think a while. What brings love ktween a schcol boy and a school girl, a school girl
and a native who never know how t o pronounce the
letter "A'? Wbat brings love between student and
a "on-student, and a mad man with a blind
woman? By the way what d o you think is the cause of
these things? Look, it is nothing than what we call
attractions.
Therefore, if you d o not know what woman is
t o man, or you have not got an idea bufore, mark
you, you are absent i n love, their ways cannot attract you because you have n o knowledge of it.
10
�If you do not know, infact, you are 'ust like a
child. Even children know what is called ove. Sometimes, you may see the little boys and girls hiding
themselves this way and that way for love sake.
i'
These boy: and dirk have note the idea,. which
induced them to such order of nature's prrnciple.
Yo11 should note that nature knows no law.
A reverend (priest) or a highly developed occultist claimed to denied complelely this particular law
of nature, mbrk him, he has a private and complete
and secret method (applicatinn) through which he
fulfills this order. It is really true I say, kc fulfils it
thought what is known imaginarion. Anyway, I am
not here t o discuss that matter. N o one can deny
the fact, cxecpt through something-otherways -otherwise.
convent girls who were ordered to be holy not
have friends. They after sometimes found it very
difficult t o have such law of nature through the
separation from friends. What happened? Fortunately
one day, one of the girls went out secrelly in the
night and on her way back t o their school premises
she took a boy friend. When she reached their boar.
ding house with the chap. other girls saw him and
felt very bappy as if they were in paradise.
,
�Jhky at'onc esurroundrd him and.the young c h a p The
b ~ became: afraid for: he thought!othenvisc would
y
happrn.. he- felt. that they would .take him d d W to
t h e E a ~ r o p ~ aSister, but it Wac not so. aimply.for
n
thcir own good they surrounded him. What happen~d
th:n? Each and every one of the girls began t o
b:g tb: young chap to have her first treated before
others. Then the svg~r-babybegdn on the work t o
touch. lh.*m one alter the other. Tney. were very happy a?d worried rhc chap t o ~ m u c h
that-he fainted
and wthi 1 ?O minu~eshe died there.
Tomorrow morning, it was a great shock to the
European: Sister. Then she ordered their driver to
carry the corpse (dead) down t o the hospital and
there the doctor discovered that it. war over usuagc
of the pswer within tbat caused his death.
So some of the girls adopt the m e e f candle sticks.
I t is love tbat solve this matter and nothing. else.
Remember that you can win one's love with
whatever may be your work providcd you know the
method of attraction. Man can attract woman; ladies
or girls can attract boy.
This attraction caa be fully accomplished tbrough your character.
THONY IN THE CAME OF LOVE
12
�l a Isiokwe a 'Town in Eastcro Nigeria dwelt a
wealthy man by name Jguabo. He was huge, el:gantl
and a great business man throughout the town, for
Which hla name was famous. He was kind, and
got marriod to a woman nam:d Jjeoma.
ljeoma herself was brilliant in trading. und
household korks. Both of thcm lived for several
years before she put fortb to her first son, and they
gave him the names Anthony Amechi Iguabo. During
Amhony's chidhocd, he was full of educational
desire and out doors games. Simultdocously, he
sprang up, an honest handsome boy, and had manieducational activities, and started
fested inter:sl
schooling a t the age of 8. He was brilliant at class
works, and social in all aspects, end these won admiration for him among his class-mates and school
teachers.
His handsomeness made schcolgirls rush o n him
seekiop for his love when he was 12 yean. T o all
these. he gave n o attentirn, because he never knew
the frculties of love. Many o f them were fighting
and using scandalous statements among themselves,
because of thischarming boy. Even whet1 the school was dismissed. they used t o quarrel over the
person who should carry Tbony's school box
Every corner he went, the applause of THONYI
T H O h Y !
rained
in
t h e
�air. Now this gay boy "Anthony" was in std. five and
had a year more b:fore entering a secondary school.
By all means, girls were trying to convince and eagage in love dealings with him.
The respect and shouts of admiration bestowed
on him, made him feel proud and thought of
complimentar cheers of the school girls on him. Before he finish:d his elementary course, he was
13 years, but did not want to befriend any o f t h e
girls.
Now it came t o pass that one moonlight evening, he dressed u p well and visited one of his class
mate. No sooner did he treck for some few yards
than a girl whistled a1 if in a way boys call their
girls friends, Anthony looked round swiftly, a t tbe
girl who did not- help beckoning on him to come.
He made his way quietly to tho girl who gave
him a warm welome. She immediately stretched out
her hand and handed over to Anthony a white folded
paper. He smoothly put the paper into his pocket
without asking what the paper was for. He excused
her for the meantime, and walked quietly to his
friend's bouse where he was also welcomed. He spent
30 minutes there and set out for home. On reaching
home, he sat on his bed and began to read the
contents of the w h i ~ epaper received from the girl.
"A! it was a letter", he exclained. Theletter read as
follows :-
�Cathe Obiako,
Holy Rosary School,
Isickwc Akpu!u.
10/4/5G.
-
Dear Thony,
Infact it \vss quite a long time I had been
seeking a way to be-friend )ou. Now that you are'
in possession of mine. I hope ).ou nil1 find tinle to
g o through my missive.
Never-thcles~, 1 sliould only become the queen
of the whole land if you grant my being in love
with you.
I have not much ot say, ill I see your favourable reply. 1 am,
Yours ever,
Cathe Obiako.
This 1:ttcr struck him s o deeply that he could not
belp giving hack the reply. His, went as follows:Thony A. I&uabor
Community .Primary School.'
Isiokwc Akoulu.
-
Dear Cathc,
Yours o f the loth April 1956 was got. and be
contents were fully gone through.
Actually, I was totally embarrassed to getting
yours, but anyway, your request had been granted.
15
�I have seen all tbe girls in this town, and I
swear, you are only the one 1 bestow my thoughts
upon. 1 thank God, for we are now to begin the
so-called "Love dealing".
I hope to meet you again one night where we
should discuss in detail, matters of interest within
ourselves. I stop so far till I see yours in return.
Yours heart,
Thony Iguabo.
The letter was sent over to Cathe by post and
she could not express her utter gratitude on receiving such a reply from Anthony, picking up her
pen once more she wrote thus:As Usual,
Dear Sweet-heart,
Indeed I could hardly believe and express m y
utter gra~itude on receiving your favourable reply.
Today, should go down in history for being a
girl-friend to a handsome person of your type. Since
I gave my letter to to you, I have been cogitating,
dreaming, and meditating of you all night.
However, I sball be corning to your house next
week r n Wednesday. Till I come,
Yours ever,
Cathe.
�On receiving this letter, Anthony was shocked on
Cathe's coming next week, why? because all these were
happening without the knowledge of his parents.
However, he knew how to explain elerythiog to them if
she came.
CATHE VISITED ANTHONY'S
ROOM
On the day in question, being Wednesday,
Anthony woke u p earl~er and prepared his room
in order s o as t o attract the girl when she come.
His parents had all gone to their respectwe vacations,
fortunately for him, Calhe tapped rt the door.
"Who are you", he said "I am your Cathe", was
the reply, nnt minding whether Thony's parents were
in. She entered inlo the room and seated on the
bed where Thony was lying down complacantly.
My Dear, said Antho, so our dreams have now come
true? Apple of my heart, said Catha, map Z first
have a warm kiss from you before I commence".
Thony then raised up and they had a kiss. Infact
(she continued) I a m now the happiest maid ever to
live for being your girl friend. I could hardly take
anything if you are not presetat. I hank God for we
have been joined together, and what soever God has
joined, let no man put asnnder"
At thin junction, they began to enjoy what
Nature terms, "The faculties of love dealing; After
this, they kissed once-more and Cathe 'made her
way home. They remained silent . for a long
time with none writing t o each. other.
�At last Cathe's letter was got thus:
As Usual,
3/1/57,
Dear Sweet-heart,
It bas beon quite a long time we heard from
each other. However, I hope you are normal. Infact 1 could not forget that glittering morning in
your roam.
My heart is yours forever. 1 hope IOU will have
time to communicate with me more. 1 stop so far.
Yours ever,
Cathe Obiako.
On getting this, Thony did not give prompt
reply because he was away to Ubulu on an entrance examimation which he was successful. When he
r~turned, they were faced with the buying of materials for his Secondary schooling. Relaxing one
afternoon, he picked up his pen and his reply was:Tbony Iguabo,
11/1/57.
Darling,
I much regretted for having delayed the reply
of yours. Never-theless, I was confronted by matters
a r i s i q g o u t of my secondary school
�educatbn. It is a pity to narrate to you that I
shall be living for Ubulu Community Secondary
School next week. However, I hope we shall
be writing to each other constantly.
Do not shine your love on any other boy ,for
1 shall be spending all my holidays here wilb you.
Yours darling,
Thony.
Before she could get the letter, Thony had left for
school. Going through the contents, she felt annoyed
and wrote as follows:
Cathe Obiako,
Girls' Training Centre,
Obodo - Otene.
20/2/57
Dear Thony,
Indeed I was shocked by your departure to
Ubulu. How about studies? My heart is still yours.
I am now at the Girls Training Centre, ObodoOtene. Please write me when you will vacate, and
the date you will be here.
I hope to get yours sooner.
Cathe.
Cathe on the other band, fdid not make her
a ware
o her
love with
p a r e n ts
19
�Anthony. It was not long that Anthony wrote to
her informing her of his coming next week, on
holiday. His, went as follows:Anlhony Iguaho,
Ubulu Community Sec. School,
16/4/57.
Dear Catbe,
This is to make you aware that we have
vacated, and as such I shall be ooming next monday. I hope you have also vacated. Convey my
greetings to your brqther John. Till I come.
Yours darling,
Thony Iguabo.
THONY KISSED CATHE IN CATHE'S ROOM
Cathe sent her little brother John for some
refreshments. 'Tbese were brought and they relaxed
and kissed each other ceaselessly. Again they displayed what Nature calls "Faculties of Love dealing",
and Thony could not help staying longer, on the
girl's request. They kissed, relaxed and sang some
love songs once startiog with these words!
Darling! if you know you love me,
Don't forget me!
�My heart is yours ever!
"You are the sole apple of my life"
No sooner had Cathe escorted Thony than her parents
arrived back from the day's work. They looked for
Cathe, but she was not to be seen. When she was
back, they asked her where she went, she said she escorted her class mate who had just come to see her.
It did not last long before Thony went back to school
From there he wrote:Thony Iguabo,
Ubulu Community Sec. School,
10/2/60.
Darling,
Now I hope you have gone back to your school.
Infact 1 hereby offer my sincere greetings to you for
the entertainment accorded me at your room last term.
Enthusiastically, the day shduld remain unforgotten in memory. My parents bad played their games
of love and now they want to find some obstacles to
binder my being in love with you, which I cannot
tolorate.
Did your parents ask you where you went during
the time you escorted me? However, I look forward
to receiving your nice note in return.
Yours darling,
Thony Iguabo.
�It was lbree days before the letter went swiftly
into her girl's hands and she admired it much. She
replied thus:
Thony did not inform his girl that he had gone
back to school, and she one day went to investigate whether her beloved boy was in the house.
Unfortunately, she was tald that Thony had left for
school. Thony bid his father farewell, and started the
second year successfully. At the term's holidays, he
wrote to Cathe that he should visit his cousin at Ekpo
Town. To this, she felt somewhat loneliness and did
not reply.
When he was back to school, he wondered why
his girl did not reply his, and repeated again. This time,
she replied and explained the sadness and loneliness
she felt when she got the letter. Tbony replied and
appologised for not going home as he promised. Now
the second year was over, aud both of them were
successful. Both of them come home again on holidays
and had several meetings and communications. His
parents bad realised the engagement of lovedealiags.
their son had witb Catbe. This he denied abstruptly
and said that he never know anything about love.
They warned him again, that if they saw such girls
witb him agaio, they would terminate his education
forthwith. He was puzzled and thought of how to leave
his most beloved girl-friend, who was his pride, and
queen-moon that ohone upon his heart. T o all these he
�determined 10 continue his lovz with Catbe.
Without the knowledge of what was going on
between her boy friend and his parents, Cathe dressed
u p charmingly one morning and setout to his boy's
house. Anthony being fortunate, came outside their
house to relax, sighted his girl, and quickly walked
up to her and told her that his parents had warned
him not to be friend her any more. But that be did
not zgree to their warnhgs. Both of them went back
to Cathe's room and her parents had all gone to their
respective jobs.
She got the letter two days before she left school
for home, On the very day, Cathe went to the park
to welcome her boy-friend. It was not so long that
Tbonv arrived and she gave him a warm kiss and embrassment. Two of them boarded a taxi which brought
them to Thony's house. Both of went in, and his parents welcomed them warmly, and tremendously.
Ijroma'casted a look at her husband and her lips were
shaking as if to ask her son who the girl was. Thony
sent for drinks which were brought and both of them
including his parents drank the wines. Thsny escorted
her and was back again in the house. His pareat
could not help asking him who the girl was. He gave
false narrations, that she was his classmate at the Ubulu Secondary School. They strictly warned him not
to have anything done with girls, so as t o finish up
his carrear successfully.
�It was two days for him to go back to the school
tbat he got a letter from his girl that she was about
to leave for school and he on the other hand replied
that he sheuld also went back to school soon.
THONY I N SECOND YEAR IN THE SCHOOL
He went back- to the school and inspite of his
love dealings with his girl, he maintained his lead in
the class. After the first year, they began to prepare
for the second year's studies. This time, he was escorted to the School by his Dad. When they got to tb:
school, the dad inquired from the principal whether
girls were attending the school, which he inevitably
declined. "My dear readers, from here the Dad realised that his son told them false story that Cathe was
a fellow class-mate at the Ubulu Secondary School".

My Dear,
Yours of the 10th instant was got and I admired
the contents. May I strongly assure you that nothing
again in this earth should cease, our love. Once our
love is ceasesd, know you my sun is set.
�Your parents are only tryinp to obstruct our ways,
but 1 pray that this youth of ours should continue to
the extent we may live.
My parents are aot all after my being in love
with any boy, therefore I hope our love is like a solid
knut tightened to a ha1 bolt.
I hereby enclose my picture, so that you should
embrasss and kiss me whenever you feel loneliness.
I stop so far, till I see yours in return.
Cathe Obiako.
Thony got this letter but delayed the reply. However he was about to reply but got another letter
from Cathe informing him openly thal she was under
pregnancy. The contents read as follows:As Usual.
zslaltio.
Dear Thony,
It is a pity to report to you that I am now in a
family way. How are wc to do? Formally I though
it was an ordinary belly-ache, but suddenly 1 noticed
my belly springing up rapidly.
To this effect, I bave written to my parents informing them of the inc:dent. Likewise, I have wri~ten
to your dad, informing him that you are the only
friend I bave, so therefore you are solely responsible
for any outcome.
I shall leave the school tomorrow for home. You
are urgently wauted at home soener.
I am,
Yours,
Cathe Obiako.

with school girls. My readers kindly beware of such
girls because they are troubles.
LETTER ARRIVES 'TOTHONY FOR
Carhe's Pregnancy.
The letter arrived and he was wondering why he
never replied the first one and thereby got another.
Without hesitation, he opened it and went tbrough
the contents. Immediately he saw the head-lines of
the letter, 'yr is a pity to report to you that I am now
itra family way", he dropped the letter and went into
the school domerory, and wept bitterly. Fearing that
his father would terminate his schooling, he took
permission from the principal to allow him go home
and see hi8 father who was seriously sick. He went
home but his father bad written bim, requesting for
his immediate return from the school.
When he reached home, his parents explained the
whole story to him. which he termed as emphatically
not correct. All of tbem went t o Catbc's parents,
where she was lyiny unconscious and agonised in
groans. She narrated in full, the days and dates both
of them met several times some at Thony's room and
others in her own. "Well readers!, the h u t which was
formally tightened to a bolt was now loosed. Thony
said he was not in a position of marriage. Rut he
still remembered the days their love was like the
�"iced-blocks" which they thought should not be
melted. They left everything, peoding the period she
should bore forth a child. Thony's father stopped
him from further schooling as a result of whai appeared between him and Cathe. As time went on, the
pregnancy sprang up rapidly, and began to trouble
her severaly that she was taken to the hospital. At
the bed-side stood her parents, her mother weeping
mournfully, Thony and his parents, The Doctor
could hardly attend to her then she begao to murmour
these dramatic words;-
AT THE HOSPITAL CATHE SANG A SONG
and Died.
Oh! Thony my dear,
You have killed me,
Remember you should be responsible for any
out-come,
You are my only boy-friend whom I love
very much!
I have no other boy-friend in this town or
else where,

Mummy!, Beware of your house holds,
Thony. farewell and good-bye.
We shall see and meet, again where we shall
part no m.ore
Greetings t o brother John, whom 1 love so
dearly.
�At this stage, Thony began to weep, and the
girl suddenly died. Everybody in the hospital was
embarassed at seeing all that happened. In return,
Cathe's parents held Thony's parents r:sponsible for
the death of their child. They exchanged slugeish
words and from there fighting arose between the two
factions.
In a short space of time, Thony's mother collaped
and died, and others inflicted serious injuries among
themselves.
After all these, Thony and his father io company
of some symphatbisers, returned home, carrying the
corpse of his mother Tears gushing out of his eyes.
After the funeral ceremony of his mother, Tnony
declared:-
I connot stay lonely like this,
Now, where is my beloved Cathe?
Where is my Mother?
I shall find a way to meet my Cathe,
Else-where in the would of gloom,
Where there is no deeth
Oh, Heavens, so I have parted with my sweetest Heart.
Catherine, Catherine, Catherine.
HE CRIES, CRIES.
�THONY ONCE MORE IN THE SCHOOL
While passing through these thoughts, his father
called him and seated him on his chair and said:- "My
son, now you have seen the outcome in love dealing
Now "where is your mother? It was for your sake
Cathe died. I am now a widow. Who should be
nursing and giving you motherly advises; (At this
stage both of them began to weep), well 1 have nothing to d o again than to send you back to the school,
if my p x k e t can afford to d o so". "Can you accept
to g e back to school again", his father asked. If I
abandon you now, you wont be able t o make your
own world. Thony replied in the affirmative. He firmly assured his father that he should never in his life
again, fall in love with any girl, however charming
she might be. The father then prepared everything for
him, gave him school fees and pocket money. and
other things necessary for his schooling.
One bright morning he set out for school.

On reaching the school he was warmly admitted
in theclass, None of the staffs of the school o r the
�students were made aware of what happened to Thony
and Cathe. Staying for some weeks he wrote to his
father informing him of his safe arrival to the schod.
His went as follows:Thony Iguabo,
Ubulu Community Sec. School,
1 /?/ti I ,
Dear father,
This is to inform you of my safe arrival to the
school. I was warmly admitted to the class.
Anthong on the other hand was ashamed of going
out beciuse of .the record set by him and Catbe.
Some of the girls in the town murmured words
of abuse on Cathc whenever they saw Anthony. Some
said they advised her not to fall in love with Anthony,
and she said, they were misleading her. T o this, (they
szid) brought bad terms among themselves. Others sdid
Cathe declared that once Anthony no more became
her friend, she should no live lo see him married to
any girl.
To all these, Thony kept silent without a single
word spoken out. He remained in the house till the
end of the term and he went back to school. Now
the hatred he had on girls in particular was beyend
measurement, Dear Readers! he hath now known the
�seed he sowed and the bad tesk brought to him by it.
Now he is in his fourth year aed had all thoughts
lost about Csthe.
He did not write nor receive any letter from his
father for a lone time. Afterwards, his father's note
came thus:-
J B C Iguabo Esq.,
...
Box 5,
Isiokwe
10/7/61
Dear Son,
I hope you are normal. What of your studies?
Since the death of your mother, I had been feeling
loaeliness, and in this case, I want to marry another
wife, of which I have already paid the dowry.
I hope you will appreaciate this substitute? You
know I don't attend to my business now, if not, I
would have sent something to you. Y o w reply is
needed soon.
I am,
yours father.
J. B C. IGUABO.
.
Now when I recount the miseries, hardship and
bad luck that fell on us last time, I became totally
81
�embarrassed, Formerly, 1 thought anything is p i n e d
in the game of love. When you were warning me
uvrr girls, I thought you were misleading me. Now
what have I gained from it?
Evsry night I felt the departure of my mother
from me, and when evtr 1 sltcp, I sea her beside me
sdvising me t o avoid communica~ing
with girls.
I stop so far. till I get yours in return.
Yours son,
T'aonv Iguabo.
Anthony's father got this letter but did not reply
pendine the time he should return box for the first
term's holiday. Despite all the adventures of Thony
and Cathe, he still remembzred and dreamt of her
occassionally. He thought of the sweetness in love
dealing, and the past years when he was once a b ~ y
friend to a charming girl like Cathe. Be thought of the
way Cathe died, he remembered his mother, who
.was the guide key of his education.
A11 these thoughts did not keep his mind at rest,
and he could hardly take any food, and remained adamant and doozy in the class. At the ending e f the
term, he came home and fouod his father
seriously sick. Being fortunate, he recovered rapidly.
Now A n t h ~ n yhad n o chance of treckiog out o r
�relaxing, because he had to d o all the house works,
hence his mother had died. After doing the hoase
work, he had to attend to his studies and later went
to bed. HISfather kept a watchful eye upon him, seeking for th; day he should see any g ~ r lwith him.
In a.short space of time, he got the letter and he
fully Kent through the contents with appreciation.
Later he replied thus:Thony lgus bo,
Ubulu Communitv Scc. School
Dear Father,
Yours of. the loth ultimo was got with delightfullncss. l am normal and my sudies seemed moving
successfully.
I fully support your marrying another wife,
became a person of your calibre won't stay without
a wife.
Nevertheless, I hope she has returned t o your
house, according t o your note. Our vacation is vastly
approaching, and I hope to come and see her.
Yours loving son,
Anthony Iguabo.
IGUABO. THDNY'S FATHER MARRIES
Another Wife.
He got the letter and admired the the wise choice
13
1
�. of his son. Not staying for a good six days from the
receipt of the letter, the girl returned to Iguabo's bouse
s h e -was full of house work ac:ivities, like Aothony's
mother. She was b:autiPul and beard the names, Calo.
Ezimmn Iguabo. Her whole aims were to persuade
and pkase her husband. When he came home on
holidays, he found his father's wife very Symphatetic
and tireless io house works. T o these, he said that he
had got another mother who should advise aud persuade him once more as his mother did.
COMPLETION OF SECONDARY EDUCATION
Now Anthony being fortunate had completed his
edwcational career and passed his Cambridge Examination, with grade I , He began seeking for job in his
town and abroad. His father bein8 popular and
wealtby, tried by all means to secure job for him.
Unfortunately for him, whenever he wrote for
employrneai, the reply of "we regret to state that there
is no vacancy" was got. This again ceused terror t o
him and he always felt miserable.
Anthony stayed for six months before gaining
employment under the Jsiokwe County Gouncit as a
clerk. Now he was full of life and had a termendous
barrier which always kept him pleased. His father
never put forth any ebild and worried him greatly. He
remembered once more his mother and the miserable
life he lived in his game of love with Cathe.
�NOWhe had no love again on girls aad never
talked or played with any of them. Some girls who
again seeked for his love were wondering why be did
not respond to their letters and shouts of admiration
on him. He worked in this office for six months before
m
his thoughts were,apin o girls.
TKONYAT THEAMBASSADOR HOTELBEFRIENDED AGNES
It happened one moonlight night, after the day's
work when he went to have some drinks at the Ambassador Hotel Isiokwe, that he met a charming girl
by name "Agnes" The girl was a student of the Girls
Training college Abutu, and was on holidays. She was
very charming like Cathe, her appearance very romantic and eyes deemed as a person who is caught
by alcoholic drinks. Anthony steered at he and
beckoned her to come. When she came, he made
himself known to her as Anthorir Amechi Iguabo. An
ex-student of the Ubulu Community Secondary school,
and at present werking under the Isiokwe County
Council as a clerk.
She was also very pleased to meet a person like Thony. You know he was a very handsome man from the
beginning, of which school girls rushed on him convincing him for his love with them.
�lo the hotel, be bought different kinds of drinks
and both of them relaxed enjoyously. Thony rememberiog his first adventure, termed it as enthusiastic,
despite the fact that i t later resulted to a dramatic turn. Roth of them did the highlife piece supplied
by the Ambassador Oance Band. They kissed themselves and Thany remembered the time his dearly
beloved Cathe was kissiag him ceaselessly. At this
stage he felt unhappy, but wiped it off, by getting
another charming girl friend.
When tbe dance was over, both of them set for
home. Anthony requested the girl to follow him reach
his room, which she obviously welcomed. Before they
reached home, his father had gone to bed. They
entered his room and she requested for Thony's kisses
and communication. T o these he bluntly refused and
narrated his past adventure with Cathe briefly t o her.
She convinced him that since her life she never had a
boy friend, but she had seen only the boy to befriend
-THONY.
She further said that she hoped nothing very
dramatical, should result between them. Thony was
totaly embarrassed. One miod reminding him of Cathe
and how they parted. The other telling bim to
�continue his game of jove, of wbigb every individual
must play. Patsing these thouehts. he agreed to
her request."Well Readers" you know what happens
wher! a boy and a girl meet. 'They kissed once more and
he escor~edher home. When they were a few yards
from her house, she showed him her house, they bad
a warm kiss and Thony went back.
In the early ho.urs of the morning being unawre
of his girl's coming, he suddenly saw a charming
figure slippinginto his room. Whom d o you think
she was? AGNES! Dear readers, this time she was
crowned queen of the whole kingdom, because of her
applarance, and her face shining like a glittering gold.
Thoay was shocked because of his father, who never
koew this. He advised her not to make any sigos
showing that he was with a girl.
#
Once more they shut the door and eojoyed the
real "Faculties of love dealing" which led to Cathe'e
death. She could hardly help staying longer as they
went on deepcr and deeper. Anthony's father noticing
what was going on, felt annoyed, there was no smile
on his face, his bead thrown forward in deep thoughts
and with one hand suppor~ing his chin. Anthony
escorted her not knrwing that his father had realised
his love again with Agnes. When he was back, he saw
his daddy in a wrong mood. "What is wrong with
you daddy" he asked. He sat motionless without a
single word spoken to him.
37
�AGNES-BACK TO THE SCHOOL.
Now this girl had to go back to the sc6ool without Anthony's consent, because since their last meeting
none of them had visited the other. On reaching the
school she wrote, thus:Agnes Okonkwo.
A, G. T. C.
Abutu.
near sweet-heart,
lnfact I a u l d say you were annoyed for not
informing you before I left for school. In view of the
obvious contradictions of educational concerns, I am
yours for ever.
No man should ever touch or see the soft balls
on my breast, which have been reserved for you-ever.
Your entertaioment to me at the Ambassador Hotel
was beyond my imagina~ion.
I assure you of my keeping to my promise that
I am always yours. Don't be annoyed or feel lenelinebs for I shall come home soon on holidays. Bear in mind, do not shine your love on any other girl.
Yours in return should be delightful welcomed.
I dm,
Yours ever,
Agnes Okonkwo.
�This letter arrived and he admired it. Then followed
the writing and posting of letters to each of them.
Oace again, the girl was in towa on holidays. She
visited Aothony and met his father. He was as steady
as the statue. Anthony noticing that his father was
not after their love, continued the real love with her.
They communicated, kissed and played.
Imagine, Dear readers! Anthony forgot his
first adventure, the outcome in love dealinc, the miserable life he lived for loved sake, If I a m not
mistaken. "Accident does not ring bell when it comes"
As Tennyson said that "wben he laughs at mens
follies, hc prouds them to re-call or rethink, the truth
is by nature ironical. Love is a game that comes from
heaven some said. To Anthony all were just as sweet
as honey. They continued being in love for
quite a considerable time. Anthony could hardly
work in the office. Every minute, his thoughts were
on Agnes. He sometimes saw her in a vision embrassing and kissing with him, while in the office.
AGNES IN A FAMILY WAY
Now Agnes had only a year to stay more in the
school, but her love for Thony even debarred her from
further studies, hoping that he should marry her
unfailingly. "Hellow Readers1 this time another
�tragedy befell Anthony. In a due course the girl
went back to the school. Without wasting time she
wrote to Anthony, a ~ d in return gave a quick
he
reply. rhey continued writing each other, till Agges
ceased replying or writing to him. What was the
cause Readers? She saw herself in a family way. This
state put her a in wonderful thought, dec~ding
what her
parents would d o to her. either t o abandon her o r
might not allow her continue her educat~onafter the
ch~ld's birth.
She was full of earthly misconceptions. She
thought of going to a native doctor. During this time
Anthony never know what was happening. A t last she
decided of consulting a native doctor should be better
and she first wrote to Anthony informing him openly
of the pregnancy. before packing frcm the school for
home.
The day he got the letter was as if a sword was
pierced through his heart. He sat motionlessly in the
office, with one hand supporting the head. H e thought
of his last adventure, Cathe and his mother. He
thought of what. would become his. father's feelings.
Afterwards, he took permission from the Chairman
of the Council and went home.
On reaching home he began to mourn bitterly,
without even making his father aware of what had
happened. In a short space of time,, heqsaw Agnes in
�his room. H tried to deny having knowledge of th:
t
pregnancy, but all were in vain.
DISCUSSIONS. WITHIN AGNES AND TRONY
Aclasc Agnes dec1rared:- My dear,.dcnia\ would
net. help u . Instead we find a substitute for it. What
s.
suggestiou d o you think could release us from this
dramatic moment, hence we are already trapped?
asked Anthony. I suggest it will be better to meet a
native doctor, to find some means of dialuting it.
That's good, but whom d o you think is thc b:st frirnd
native doctor here? Let's go to that b a n living at
the Ugwuogba bush. a few miles from here. Ile is said
to be the best native doctor in this town.
THONY AND AGNES WENT TO A NATIVE
hetors Home.
Both of them set for the man's house. Readers it will
be abortiw.if I leave the doctor's name unmeatiooed,
because his name coincides with the cause ef their
coming to his house. His name was "Umu nwanye
adero mma".. Qn-maahing there they asked him his
name and hexaid "Umu owanye adero mrna" This
struck Agoco deeply and Anthony thought of this
man's name as jeopardeous. They explained what
brought them t o this house and be told Anthony
�that he had such fiasco with Cathe before and as
such his name "Umu nwanye adero mma" had narra ted the end of Agnes.
He asked, does it mean that Agnes should die?
Unfailingly, replied the doctor. They begged him to
try and know whether through bis medical powers
could save her life. He told them that notbing could
save her life. They still begged him. H then charged
e
them the sum of £82 (thirty two pounds) but told them
that he should not bear any responsibility for any
result. They both agreed firmly. Anthony paid the
£32 and he gave her tbe first medicine.
NOTE
Anthony's father was not aware of all these. likewise Agiles's parents. The doctor toldLAnthony to go
back and return in the evening, so that if Agnes
recovered both of them should then go. Aathony
agreed, left Agnes there and went home. On reaching
home he sat on his bed and ponderiog over these
fatal conditions around him, with tears flowing from
his eyes ceaselessly.
THONY BACK TO THE DOCTOR'S HOUSE
It was not quite five o'clock than he set again for
the doctar's house. On the way his thoughts were
only on.Agnes, shivering and pondering what could
be the result wheo he reached there. On reaching
there, he could only see the corpse of Agnes lying in
�bed. He could not talk, neither was he able to stand
up. He stood motionlessly gazing at her. At last h?
told the doctor, "See, you have killed my dear one".
The doctor interrogated, did. I not tell you that I
should not be responsible for any outcome? You
shogld then remit my £32 back to me. S o out now
before I slaughter you to pieces, replied the doctor.
Cooling for some midutes, he ordered the doctor to
give him same medicine wbich could end also his life.
The dactor charged him also, and surrounderd the
medicine to him. He quickly ran out leaving Agnes's
corpse there and reached home with nervousness.
THONY KILLS HIMSELF FOR LOVE'S
SAKE.
On reaching home, he took a piece o f paper and wrote:Father! I die because of my Agnes.
I ha;e considered it fantastic to live without
her:
She died in a native doctor's house, by name
"Umu nwanye adero mma"
Perhaps you might have 'known bim

Description
An account of the resource
'<em>They Died in the Game of Love</em>' exemplifies the quintessential form of Onitsha Market Literature. It includes advice and wise sayings, letter writing, warnings against women, a picture of a European couple, and a romance that ends (obviously) with the death of most of those involved. It all serves to “advise boys of our youth” and cautions readers to “Beware of Ladies mostly school ones otherwise they buy you cheap,” (pg.44) <br /><br />The advice on good behavior, particularly on how one can identify good boys and girls, is repeated in many other pamphlets. The romance story in <em>They Died in the Game of Love</em> follows the Onitsha “formula” quite closely. Thony, a desirable schoolboy, is walking one evening when he receives a letter from a girl he does not know. Thony exchanges letters with the girl, Cathe, and they begin “Love dealing.” (pg.16). The couple proceeds to exchange gifts, favors and letters without parental knowledge or approval until Cathe is pregnant and gets kicked out of school. She dies from complications, and the two sets of parents get into an argument. Thony’s mother dies of injuries (either emotional or physical) received during the argument. Despite this, Thony soon develops a relationship with another girl. This young woman dies from complications of an abortion performed by the infamous “native doctors.” Thony then commits suicide.<br /><br />The pamphlet ends with a warning from the author of the dangers that stem from playing the game of love. Umunnah writes, “Well dear Readers, you have seen the bad effects got from girls...imagine this boy who would have grown into a position of loyalty, wealthiness and intellectual happiness of his youth. (a) Thony was no more alive. (b) He lost his beloved girlfriend. (c) He lost his mother,” (pg.44). <br /><br />The author suggests that this could happen to all young men who seek corner-corner love, (pg.5).
