Title A name given to the resource Beta Theta Pi fiftieth anniversary celebration, University of Kansas, February 22-24, 1923 Description An account of the resource Kenneth’s membership in the Alpha Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi was a significant aspect of his time at KU. His freshman roommate was senior and fraternity brother Deane W. Malott, who later served as the Chancellor of KU (1939-1951). Years later, Kenneth counted himself among Malott’s “old friends who know him best.” As a senior, Kenneth served as chapter president. <br /><br />The fraternity remained important to Kenneth throughout the rest of his life. A remembrance of him in The 1960 Alpha Nu noted that: <br /><br />Only two months earlier Mr. Spencer had been named Kansas City’s “Beta of the Year.” <br /><br />His devotion to Alpha Nu throughout the years is shown by his efforts in organizing the recent reunion of the 1924-28 classes here at the chapter house… <br /><br />In 1954, his $50,000 gift enabled Alpha Nu to landscape its property, construct the circle drive, renovate the porch, and build the patio. As mentioned in the Treasurer’s report, the recent acquisition of the adjacent property to the north was largely possible through his cooperation. Undoubtedly few other Alpha Nu Betas have shown as much love for the chapter.

This project documents my aging mother and our close relationship in a collection of intimate photographs. My mother had me when she was in her late forties and because of this, we have less time together. She's now sixty-eight and I'm now twenty-six. I want to capture our remaining memories together as time doesn’t wait for you to be ready. Because Alzheimer's runs in my family, sometimes it feels like a ticking time bomb held over my head. Alzheimer’s took my grandmother from me, and I pray that it won’t take my mom. With each photograph I make, it feels as if I lose a part of my mother, and I’m grieving for that loss.

Our womeu know nothing than to pretend, to talk lies. to trick and say, "give me money" if you don't give them the money your word will be ignored. They don't know how to serve, to obey, to love, to pet and talk the truth. They are rather licensed liars Only very few are fair. In order t o discipline them, this little but effective booklet, has been produced. For your information; the letters contained in this bonklet and the investigation conducted are imaginary, real names of persons are not intended to be mentioned, but if by accident any one mentioned in this booklet happens to be your name, please accept my sincere apology.

If you are now in love with any of them, take time, be very careful otherwise your enemy who has been finding a way with which to kill you, gets you through her. Never give them your body entirely, know yourself. Don't trust them too much. The majority of them arc bad and dangerous, and if you don't take time they kill you straight ahead. They can also liquidate you and run "four-forty." They have caused some of our young men to liquidate financially. Some of these men are now hopdcss. Some ramble about, jobless. Some have started life afresh, and some had left from their respcetive home towns to follow the mocking home people do farming work. i I What do you think that these men could tell their people that happened to their money? I am saying with absolute certainty that they have notbing to tell than lies, if you hear lies not small ones but the ones that would, ever make people be sorry for them. I know that some would say that they were rubbed. If you have ears to hear, eyes to see and faculty to think, beware of women, especially street one;, but if you can't listen, I am afraid, you will go like this young men I will mention. Women like to engineer words, so don't believe all tbe things your wifc tells you. Somebody can 1 �abuse her and she tells you that, she was beaten up by the man. They like to say things in a way ghat it will hurt ono's feelings, if you follow them, you make mistakes, or do bad things. He who is not deceived by a woman, will be very hard to be deceived. Who Is That? Question : Who is that woman inside the black taxi? Answer: She is a married woman, by name Paulina. Her wedloek took place last Saturday at the Cathedral Church. Question: What is the number of the taxi? Answer: The number is OY 940. Thank you very much my imformant, I have written down the rlurnber of the l taxi in my dairy. I w ~ l try hard to find out the husband of that woman, and tell him what I saw. Don't go away yet my imformant. I sm still investigating, you know 1 a m now at WAR with African women. I first began it, because they are too pretentious, if any one of them will be bold enough to come out and challenge me, I will like it Ebee, who is that woman quietly walking along the back yard.? Answer: She is a married woman. She frequently visits that place, and I believe she is living a t the inland town. Question: May I challenge her? Questioner: �Answer: You cnn do so. Questioner: Come here this woman, who are you finding there? (the woman runs away). So you have ran away, alright I will hold you another day. Question: Who is that pretender? Answer: She is Miss Victoria. Questioner: Nonesence, she is now pretending as if she never talks to boys, but she likes boy; too much. Who is that, prouding? Answer: She is a lady, by name Elizabeth. Questioner: I am sorry for her. That Elizabeth thinks that she is beautiful, not knowing that no one admires her, Let us call her and know what she will do. Answer: If we cail her, she will think that we are interested in her thus thinking that she is beautiful. Questioner: Oh! yes, it i s true. Who is that walking along that street with shampoo head? Answer: Shs is Questioner I don't like her shampoo, very rough. Let us call her and criticise her. Answer. She will disgrace us. Let her go with her bad head. Question: Answer: Who is that lady speaking to a man in white 2nd white? She is Christiana. Question What is she telling the man? Answer She is telling the man to dash her the sum rc. woman, by name, Lucy. �£5 before they fall in love. Questioner: Oh! what are these nonesenses? What are these Chsracteristics of Africa women? Why are they too much after money? What caused all these? What time would all these deplorable things come to an end. Let me warm all African girls, ladies and women, that I will continue to bombshell them, unless they stop being after money, and purely show "natural love" on their boy friends. My fellow men the titlc of my action against warnan is"DISPLINARY ACTION AGAINST THE MALCHARACTERS O F AFRICAN WOivlAN" No Money You Are Talking For Nothing T o fall in love with an African lady or woman i s not an easy thing. You Rave got 13 spend a lot. If your pocket is not heavy, you are talking for nothing, none will listen to you. They will disgmcv you when you approach them. It seema like thzre is no exis~enceof "natural love" in Africa, Afrimn women p2y lips service to natural love, but none purely loves her boy friend. The ugly situation is that they only love the wealth of s inan snd hate his life. I know quits alright that not all women love money badly or a r t not sincere to men, but the bad oncs ars greater in nwnber. Question: Who is the woman that is crying? Answer: Sb6 is a married wornall by nanm Ogacha. 2 �Question: What is she crying far? Answer She i h crying because her husband married a new wife. She wished her husband to marry her alone; Question Who is that lady runniog four fourty ? Answer She is my girl friend. She has eaten up my money and when she sees that I cannot maintain her again, she runs four fourty. Question Who is that big man Y Answer He is a well known man in our town. He is finding a native Doctor who wiil cure his diseases which he got from his girl friend. if care is not taken he will soon die. Now, he has seen a native Doctor. And here are the doctor's ques~ionsand the man's reply. Dr. Yes, what is the matter with you ? Sickman Please I want you to examine me well because I am sic!<. Dr. Where does it troubles you much? I have waist pain and there is a big boil on my bottom and I feel pain when ever I urinate. Dr. Did you meet a lady ? Sickman Yes, I met a bar girl four days ago. You have been attacked by a disease, called Dr. (Orie Ukwu) 1 will charge you £1 5 to elire it. Sickman There is no objection, Hence you can cure it. I will be happy to give you any amount just try to cure me aa quickly as possible. Author-Comments: Sickman �My dear rmders I am still warning you to beware of women mos~ly bar ones. For many kinds of diseases are spread by them. Look at the story of the sickman you h a w just read can teach you a lesson. Infact men are flowers and women are butterflies, when a butterfly sees a ripe seed on the flower it will go and enjoy the flower and whon the flower fades away the butterfly go away. Piease, my fellow men, is it p o d for a n educated mas to marry an illiterate woman? No sir, cduclted man sboiild marry an educatcd lady and illi!erare man t o marry an illiterate lady. Because birds of the same fea:her flock together in the nearness proximity. Please, when you want to marry a girl d o not ;:im to marry a most beautiful gir!, bccaune it is dunpzrous to h x husband, boys and men will be attracted to follow her and thereby bring trouble to the husband. And most of those beautiful girls used to sell their bodies to men and boys In order to gc: money and drsses. You must try to m3rry a girl whic!~ is not too beautiful anti A tall man should marry a short not too I&. girl, and a short man should try t.1, marry a tall gr1. Some men marry in erder to get children, if not most of our young men woiild like to remain bachelors. �My wife wants to rule my house The letter reads: I have been married since a year with out knowing that the woman was rather sturbon sort of woman. The wwst thing is that, this woman does not want to get children, because she docs not want me to enjoy her. When ever I approached her, she disgrace me. When ever 1 pass an order to her she can not care to obey it. She kept on wandering from place to place. She wanted to rule the house. i sm now fed up with her, must I sack her? Advice: please gather her people first in her presence and tell them the story, and see what her people will say. After consulting her people. If she keeps on disobeying, and does not wish you to enjoy her so as to get chi!d. You know that she doesn't love you. Then you can sack her, because a man marries just t o get children. Do you know that some women are the cause of their husband's poverty? Yes, they d o ir by telling their husband to buy beads, clothings and wearing costly things es gold etc. When they fee their husband with about f 10, they began to tell their husband to buy this and that for them. Do not allow your wife to go in company with bad women otherwise she become8 bad also. You know that rotten apple spoils others. ( M y wife ran away from me) (Here comer a letter from a man whose wife ran away). �My wife and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary. Tho following dzy, after taken children to bed. She and 1 went to our own bed and covered, she questioned me. The question reads : . "Supposing your mother and I were walking down a street and were suddenly chased by a lion, and you happened to arrive there. Would you save your mother first or your wife? I told her that 1 would rather save my mother first. Then she became offended and departed from me. I told her ''Bye-Bye". Auihor comments : My deer readers, in this question will you szve your msther k t . -Jr your wife ? . As for me I will save my.motker first r.~ther than my wife. Because if my. wife dies I can marry another wife, but i E my mother dies I can never get another mother in my life. STOPPING TWINS FOR MAINTENANCE SAKE Here comes a letter from a woman who waats; to know a way to stop getting twins. I have been married for the past 18 months, and have two children twins, a g e d 10 months Before then I have bcen living in harmony with my husband. He always buy me what ever I offered him He has always bccn very much in love with me and treated me .kindly. But, since I save birth' to the twins He does not maintain mc again- When I request for money, he would to sag that there is no money. Therefore, I wish to find what l shall eat so �that I can not give birth to twin babies again. I feel that if I give another twin again, he can not have money to feed me with the children. (Mabel of Accra.) Author comments: My dear readers do you think that this woman who finds st way to stop from getting twins is a good house wlfe? I do not think because if she sees poison she will give to her husband. Therefore, "Beware af women". "MY ADVICE T O MEN AGAINST WOMEN" 1 Do not promise a girl whom you will rnarrb . that you are a rich person, you have a car, bicycles, £3000 in the Bank, that you will give her many servants while yon are as poor as a church rat. Then, when you marry her and she fails to see uoder measured things you promised her that you had. She will run away from you. 2. Don't marry a street girl if you want to get children. And to avoid disease to attack you. Do not attempt t o marry while you are vary Young, because you will become old a t onw. . 4. Do not attempt to marry while you have not enough money to maintain her. If you win a girl by lies, can you feed her by lies? I have seen young persons artempring to marry when they see that they have got up to £100, forgetting that t o marry is easy but security or maintenance matters. 5. D o not marry because your mate has married, because you d o not know how much he has. 13 �6 Do not go to any woman while you have a wife, because you are teaching your wife a lesson in short, to d o like wise and is againrt the law. 7 D o not take your wife to be au angel, by so doing she will brain you, 'and you d o what ever she says with-out consideration. 8 D o not sted because you have no money to maintain your wife. Do things f ~ her as you can. r g Da not love women more than. money* but .' . love money more than women. 10. D o not think for money ,and at the s3me time think for women, becasue tbe two cannot arrive at the same dme. Think how to get money first. Then, when you have got enough money, then you can think of marriage, because it is .natural desire, that a person must think of a wife when he is up the age. "A RIJN AWAY WIFE" Please when you see a run away wifa do not marry her. She doesn't belizvs in steady life. She will run again. A c ~ u ~ l l y , wife who runs away is a kind of a thing a which can happen to any person at any time. Infact, it is a very strange thing that a wife can leave her husband and go to another man to leave Independent life. They forget that the best wolves on earth are husbands. What; is the r c s c n of a rnn-a-way wife? Surely thers must be some reasons, husband goiog in search of glamourite? Children not forthcoming? In short if a woman �feels that she is not getting what she hopped from her husband she might run away, escape for a while to reconsider things, but perhaps the greatest reason for an African woman for running away is (Security), that means money aod things money can buy. There are two types of run-away wives. That is those who leave door open and those who shut it: Those who leave door open are those -who run to their brothers, sieters or aunt (known to be of good chsracter). They wished t o come back after settlement. But, those who shut the door are those who run t o a girl living d o n e and to be very interesting to pursuits involving males. These wish t o have a house of their own. a man of theirs and !he most important of all to gain some social status. Dear readers, beware of such women because they are wonders. If you marry them, they can leave at any time and go to other person. ''My wife is taking all of my m o n e y t o Family". her Here comes .a letter from a man whose wife sends his money to her family. 1 have married k r many years now, but t h e ~ e is some thing my wife does, that 1 d o not like at all, she does not know that we have our own family t o care for. She continues to oompel me to spend a great deal of money on her family. And when family she sees that I spend small money for mv she beoamc offended. Please I should like you t o advice me whether I should send away this woman �I say this hence, I am not prepared t o live with a woman who loves her own people more than she loves my people. (S. I. E. of Sapele.) An advice: Do not sack he€. List out what you planned to do in future. that should show her the light. But, if she continues spending your money foolishly, you can sack her, if you have money to marry another. "My Husband Wants To Leave Me" Here comes a letter from a woman whose husband wanrs to leave. The letter read.!:I got married to my husband six years ago Unfortunately I have not got any chi1d:fromj him.. I am so worried over it, because my husbrnd loves me and has given me all medical aid, but with out any fruitful result. As a result my husband has become annoyed and is now running after other girl. I am now afraid, because I may in the end lose my dear husband. What must I d o ? (Sarah of Zaria.) An Advise: Both of you must seek for expert medical advise. Examination can tell you whether the fault lits with either one of you, or both of you. The doctur can tell you what course you will take after the examination. Try to compel your husband to agree to see doctor. The doctor can also tell your husband not to attend to another girl again. �My Lover Wants To Commit Suicide Here comes a letter from a man whose lover wants to commit suicide. The letter reads:A few morlth ago I fell in love with a married woman of my age. I am a bachelor of 25 years. The woman is attractive and I find it very hard t o depart from her. We stay two miles away from each &her but we managed to visit frequently. She wanted to leave her husband because of me. When I rejected her idea of living her husband, she cried and told me. that she 'would commit suicide. What will I do, will I run away from her o r will 1 marry her? Ongenra of Lagos. Answer: I advised you to leave her because she will put you into troublc.$But, don't you know that to fall in love - witha married wotuan is dangerous? Therefore beware of her. "Are women dangerous to men?' Yes, women are dangerous to men because they soak the lives and power of men. Therefore men do not live longer again, like their f u e fathers in olden days they took their hearts. They confuse the life of young men. They stop young men from making progress in their business. They caused them to think of them instead of thinking for their business. They took away the little money a young man could use t o start life. Infact they cause young men to be weak and useless t o the nation. �After confusing them and see that they are no where again they run to any where. They keep on hunting for men as a hunter hunting for aoimsls. What can it profit a woman if she gains the whole world and lose her life? where there is happiness, there is danger. cgWomen have spoilt the world" women have spoilt the world by hunting after men who will give them money, which tbey will use in buying what they like. Men women m d children have lost the right way of living the life. Men want money, money! money! money! they cry" "Children want money" "Give me money, give me money, they shout". "Women want men, men, men, men they cry" If you go round the world, you will see that the number of harlots are greater thaq the number of the married women Now, the Eastern Government has started t o tax those harlots, I appzal t o men to watch their wives well so that they may not be confused by independent women who live alone. "QUESTION FOR EVERY BODY" Why do girls of nowadays d o not grow iall like the girls of ancient time? Is it because the world has changed, or is it because of their nature? When I was a boy, I saw that girls of thllt time grow very tall. But since about 10 years, ago, I saw that most girls �do not grow tall again, you will see a girl of 8 years bringing out breasts, when you look at her you sea her breasts pointing at you. Before two or three months, what you will hear is that the girl !is married 2nd h-s given birth to a male or female baby. Infact, some times I used to ask my parents this question. When I ask them they will only laugh at me and tell me that they do not know the reason. The only answers I can give in that my question are as follows:Girl do not grow tall again because of their wickedness. They do not care to respect their parents as the girls of olden days. They keep on playins with boys from that playing their minds changed. Then whst ever s boy tells them, they will tell the boy to give them money. If the boy gives them few pennies, they will agree what ever the boy tells them. Therefore. I appeal to fathers7 and mothers to take care of their children otherwise their names would be spoilt. THE WOMAN WHO RAN "FOUR FOURTY" Here comes a letter from one John Ibilo, who was entirely liquidated by a certain woman, he was in love with the woman and his relatives strongly protested against his befriending woman but he (John Ibilo) never listened to them. At last, he regretted but it was too late, this lztter reads: �I used t o hear people saying that women did liquidate men but I never agreed it, but now no one tells me to agree. I have seen every thing with my two eyes. There was certain time I fell in love with one woman. The woman was beautiful on her body but she was ugly in her heart. She had small eyes but she sees farer than the person with bigger eyes. She never talk too much but she was a slow poison. I n short, she was not a good person. But I never knew that she had all these bad qualities before I fell in love with her. Some of my relatives knew that I was in love with her and they strongly protested against ~ t , but I never listened to them. I thought that they were trying to prevent me from enjoying my youth. (When we started to make the love,) the woman pretended as if she was rich and needed no supporter. She told me that she loved me and not my money, because according to her, she said that she was richer than me. She began to buy petty things for me, when I ask her: "What will I buy for you," she repli:d,"I don't want you to buy anything for me. I don't want, just be sincere t o me in your words, I myself will do so to you." After sometimes this woman began to change small small, she stopped to buy things for me. She began to beg me money from small amount t o big amount. I started t o give her, with hope to recover them, because I thought that she was merely trying me.

At arly time this woman visited me, she complained t o me that boys wsre worrying her for friendship, and she used to disgrace them so, when she said this, I began t o do tbinga which would make her had more interest in me. S o that boys would snatch her from me, I began to d o all these foolish things and my money finished. One day the woman came t o my house and I informed her that my money had finished. "Were you robbed" she asked me. I told her that I was not robbed, She thought that I was trying to know what she will tell me. But when she discoverd that my money had f~nlshed,caused by her, she ran "four-fourty". I never saw her again. Five times I went to her house but when she saw me coming, she ran inside the house and told her house girl ta tell me that she was not in, tbat she was out. This thing pained me a lot, nearly I got heartfailure and die. Then I remembered the protest made by my relatives which I ignored, and I regretted, but it was too late. I am now a motor boy.

MY Here comes another letter that will teach you a sense, from a young man whose girl friend poisoned. My name i s Benard B. Eke of P. 0. Box 14 Guzo. I fell in love with one lady in 1958, but I never knew that this lady only loved my riches and hated my life. In one of her flattering letter, she wrote: Fine Benard, bombastic Benard, I don't think that 1 can live in this warld without you, she used to call me "bombastic Benard" because I was she said that I love to use high English. impressed by this letter, and each time she wrote me; my love on her became stronger. T o be frank, I had a terrible love o n this lady. What happened? I bad one bitter cnemy, who was ready to give any amount of money to any body, who could k ~ l lme. 1 cannot imagine how that my bitter cnemy managed to know that I was in love with the lady. He approached her and promised her EL0 if she got my head. 'The lady under-took t o kill me with poison. She assured him that it was an ea>y thing for her. She also told him that I like to eat rice " t h r ee" much and that she would it cook that riee for me and put �poison and present it to me. The lady charged that my enemy k20 to do the job. The enemy agreed without pursueing the charge. He paid her €10 advance, balance on kill. What happened ? One evening, the lady came to me in my house. After formal greetings, she told, me to give her 6d to go out and buy "Oyoyo" rice hawked by Yoruba women. I was glad as she was able to ask me to give her money. I gave her -!I she went out and bought 6d rice and gd meat, and put it poison. She carried the rice and kept table, and ask me to come and eat, on my d~ning God so kind, 1 was not hungry that day. I told her to begin to eat and remain small for me. She refused to eat the rice and told me that she it, would not touch the rice unless I frrst eat because it was in my house. I told her that I was nor hungry, and that it was dangerous for one to overfeed himself. With amicable face, she begged me to taste the soup of the rice, in order to assure her that I was not annoyed. 'Nothing' like annoyance, annoyed for what' I said to her. She continued to force me to taste the soup in spite of what I had told her, but I resisted her. With a fround face, this dangerous lady called me: 'Bernard, Bernard' if you refuse to taste this thing, I will leave it and go. 'You can go', 1 tod her. She' meant it and gone. 'Bye Bye' I said to her. �I CALLED MY DOG I called my dog, and it came, and ate the rice. What next did I d o ? I went t o one of my mate friend and told him about the incident, He gave me advice and warned me t o ''beware of women" He also adviced me to suppren the terrible ove I had on that lady and sack h e r because she was after my head. He sunpected that there was poison in that rice if not so the lady should have to eaten the rice. I thanked him and returned my house. WHAT I S WRONG ? You see trouble, one Sunday evening, the girl came to my house again. But I never g w e her face as before. "What is wrong?" she asked me. 'Nothing', 'I replied her. She brought me some oranges. I accepted the oranges and put them on my table, The oranges in the real sense were not oranges but poisons. I never took the oranges, 1 threw' them away after the lady departed from me. I presented this lidy with sweet biscuits, but she refused to chew her share in my house.' may be she was afraid. She; told me: I will chew them in our house and give some to my junior sister'. 1 made n o objection "it is alright" , I only told her. After some pass-time conversation, she departed without both of us referring to the dash we had the first day she visited me. I WENT BACK TO THAT MY FRIEND What again did I do? I went back to that my male 24 �friend and told him that she had come again. Me was badly rtnnoyeil for my allowing her to enter my house again, but I told him that I was not born to treat people like that, no matter how I was offended or trespassed I told him also that I knew myself, and that I had known that the lady was trying to get my head. I also wid that my good friend that if the lady ventured to enter my house again, 1 would !ell her gently not to visit me again, but if she tried again she got it very hot. SHE PAID M E ANOTHER ViSIT Not quite two weeks,. the devilish lady visited me previor#ly, she paid me another visit, by evening. "Good Evening" she saluted me. "Good evening to you" I replied. ,Any how 1 gave her sent. Shct brought me another poisonous oranges I received the oranges and kept them by my side. I called my boy to get my table knife. He brought the knife and I took one orange and cat it into two and gave her one . t o take. She refused and sad that she had taking a lot of orange bcforc coming. 1 told her to taste small in order to assure me that she was not annoyed. If 1 am ~ m o y e d ,will I come here, I am not annoyed, I a m happy" she told me. I tried all I can to make her taste the orange bat she declineJ. By that time I knew rnore than I knew that she was badly after my head. SHE TOOK AN OFFENCE I called my dog again and threw to it the om, nge I cut which.the laciy refused to take her share. �What an annoyance! This dangerous lady was badly annoyed for this. She took an ofence. She told me. Straight to gtve her back the remaining oranges "What am I doing with your oranges? Iasked her. I gave her the oranges. She told me to pay her for nenethe one I gave to my dog. "You are ~alking sense" I replied her. She began to tel! me bad words and we began to quarrel, the quarrel developed a fight. She tore my shirt into piecea, and I slaped her twice. I never boxed her because I knew she could not reslst it, she will die. PASSERS BYE SEPARATED US Passers-bye separated us. Both of us were asked to ray what brought the fight. She distorted every thing: A single word never came out of my mouth 1 was mute. The passers-bye begm to accuse me, and gave judgeme~t in favour of tbat lady. I You can decide any t b i ~ g , told them. I never wanted to tell them why we fuught because I rlo longer wanred to reconcile wtth that lady as she was sccking for my head. MY DOG CAME OUT The parcial passers-bye dispersed with run when my dog which resembled tiger came out with mouth opened. That my dog hated to hear noise. The lady never followed [he passer - b y ran, because my dog had known her and she no longer feared the dog. She left with out run, but with big shame. When she was going, I told her that I no lcnger wantea her in my house, but if she ventured she took. �what she wanted. MY ENEMY HEARD EVERY THING Accordive to inf~rmation, I heard that the lady went t o that my bitter enemy and told him every thing that happened. Oral message t o the enemy, keeping him informed that I was aware that she was trying to k ~ l lme. I gat no reply. For three months, I ' don't see the lady, so I thought that every thing had ended, not knowing that there was a bigger plan. One morning, I wake up but was unable to walk, sweat was all over my body. I began to feel cool badly. Say by 10 a m I could not hear again. Every thing was by writing. If I wanted to tell something t o a person I writs it, and if the person wanted to reply, he writes his. Believe me, I was afraid and my people were afraid also. It was a wonder to us. I have not seen such type of thing. My people went and calred a Doctor. The Doctor examined me and called the sickness malaria caused by heavy sun. He charged £2;2/- (two guineas) to cum it. My people paid it. The Doctor gave me Fame tablets and drug. The first tablet I took made the thing more seriously. I nearly die. Each time I took the tablet or the drug, the thing became more seriously. My people reported this to the Doctor but the Doctor said that it was the reaction of medicine He told them not to fear. my people believed him but I never believed him because I �knew t t e re-action of med~cine. I told them by writmg that I would no more take the tablets and the drug. Told them also that I had no hope of recovery and that 1 must die. They began to cry as I could not withstand my own tears C joined to weep. We stopped when we saw a visitor coming ANOTHER DOCTOR CALLED My people went and called another Doctor. The D x t o r examined me and elaimed that it was nothing but bad blood. He gave his charge, Q : 31- (three guineas), and my people paid it. He gave me blood tonic and blood purif~er.None of these worked at all. My people called another Doctor when the sickness began t o change to many kinds of sickness. The Doctor as the one already called was unable to bring a cur% My people called another seven Doctors, one after the other but there was standstill, no improvement. NO MONEY AGAIN No money again for further treatment, so my people had to borrow L50 with interest. Opinion, invitated as to what way to follow next. This a as unanimous agreement to consult a native Doctor, My people consulted one native Ljoctor, who was also a soothsay (a person professing to tell the future). The �Native Doctor examined me and shouted: "They don maken mad". The Native Doctor said it was medicine buried by a lady in front of my house so wlaea I passed it over, 1 was affected. He said that the medicine was the one that caused madness but as God may like it, it change to another kind of sickness The medicine he claimed, was done by a Yoruba man. He charged E30 t o cure it, we agreed and paid him half of the money, balance on recovery. The Native Doctor began his work but it was very tough. He treated me, treated me, and got tired I myself, was also tired of taking herbs and washing with medicinal leaves. As tbe almighty God may like it, I was cured in 18 months time, a yew and six months, calculating as from the date the Native Doctor startqd to treat me. I never retaliated. I left every thing for God Not u p to 5 months. 1 recovered, I heard that thunder kllled that my bitter enemy. Not up t o quite 6 months, I heard again that, that lady was claimed by a motor back tyre. Motor killed her. Thus they lost their lives. Authors comment: My readers I know that you will derive sense from the story of Mr. Benard 5. Eke, who was once called "Fine Benard Bombastic Bmard" by his girl frieud,who late received money and made him *'medicine". If Mr. Benard was told in the commencement of their friendship that, that his girl friend could seek for his head. I don't think that he wculd agree the sayer. but now see what ,had hapoened. �NOW READ ANOTHER LETTER FROM A MAN WHO WAS POISONED BY HIS OWN WIFE I married in 1947 and wed in 1949. What a honney moon I and my wife began to live happily, not a small one, but a big one. She loved me quiet alright, aud I myself also loved her. We don't hide any thing for each other. If any body spoke to her on street, when she returned, she told me. She could not eat without me, I myself could not also eat or taste without her. We lived very good for complete two year, before devil came in. I HAD A FRIEND What brought trouble? I had a man: friend who was very handsome. Each time 'this my friend visited me, my wife admired him. He attracted my wife very much. To talk the truth so that the devd will be ashamed, that my friend never first chased that my wife. My wife gave him all impression and showed him likeness, before that my friend become interested in her. After, I heard that when I left for my work, that my friend came and began to play with my wife. That my wife had not raken her money and cooked fresh fish for me, but I heard that she used to buy fresh fish and caoked it for that my friend. I never took any action when I heard this because I don't d o my things like that, I wanted to witness every thing with my eyes. One day when I returned work, I saw my two tumblers broken into piece3, I asked my wife who broke them 30 �but she told me that it was our oneyear baby. After, from my house boy that it was broken by that my friend when he was playing with that my wife, after both had taken two bottles of beer. L heard I counted this two. One day again, I returned and saw peculiar thing. I counted i t three, and began t o keep watch of them. One day I left my house for my work, say . about 10 a m. the very day, I told o u r Manager, that I was attacked by big headache, and that 1 wanted to go home and rest for three hours he permitted me, because he was a good man. I went back to my house, and met both parties swallowing pounded yam with fresh fish. I looked on my bed, it was rough, nor as i t was 'in the morning, the very day. When that my friend saw me he nearly ran mad. Shame was his lot. That my wife herself could not know what to do, Only God knew how she felt. I never showed them that I was highly annoyed and offended. I brought out two bottle of beer from my cupboard and presented it to that my friend. He was unable to finish one cup, before I drank up the beer. I left him with thlt my wlfe and went back to my work. When I returned in the evening, 1 did not see that my wife she had packed her things and ran to her people. I waited her, waited her t o return but I could not see her, According to the native custom, it was my business to go to my in-laws whom I was mar marry their daughter, to �enquire why my wife ran end what was her anger. Upon all what she did to me, I carried two jars of tombo wine and went to her parents, when I reached to their house with some of my relatives, that my wife saw us and ran out. We formally presented the two jars of tombo wine to those my in-laws. After drinking the wine I told them the purpose of our coming. Those my in-lawn sent a messenger who called in that my wife, she greeted us with shame. My in-laws said that there was no need for long talk, because they had heard what they "called deplorable thing" it waa the tresspass she commited made her t o ran away they told us. They begged us greatly to forgive her because it was her first offence, They adaed that to err is human, to forgive is divine. I had earlier decided in my mind that wbat ever happened. I will not marry that my wife again. But I surrendered when an irristible presure was brought and bear on me, by my relatives to receive that my wife back once more. That my wife returned back to my house two days after we came to their house. We began to live again. Each time we went to bed, she began to beg me to forgive her. I told her that I have forgotten every thing, but I added: "let another do not happen again". She swore that she would uot do that type of thing again �STILL IN LOVE SECRETLY After all these had happened, I thought that that my wife and that my friend were n o more in love, that they had separated, but 1 soon heard that they were still in love secretly. I investigated and it was true. I went to one of my relatives and told him. He told me to prepare and sack that my wife. I was in preparation, that my wife gave me poison that my friend gave her to give me, so that if I die they would be chanced quite alright to carry on with their love and married together. The poison nearly killed me. I t suffered me and I spent £154 9 8d t o cure it. That my wife left me because she was induring the time 1 was s~cking formed th& I bad known that she was the person who poisoned me. After I heard that' she waa living with that my friend. They married for a year and one day, they got big quarrel, and fough:, and each sustained injuries, and they parted. This is the end . of my story.

Here comes the third letter from a woman who explains why she divorced her husband and condemn men and advice given her and yeu. 3. Dear Mr. Okenwa Olisah. I have been reading your books with interest �I could gather that you are an impartial writer but J don't know how you wdl feel to read me criticise men as you are a man but any how I will strick because my pen is not a respecter of any body or a disrespect to well-fashioned gentlemen. I was in the School when a certzin young man approached my parents to marry me. The man was a Shop boy in the U. A. C. but when asked abuut his occupation he replied: "I am a branch manager of the U. A. C." He told me secretely that he had E2,000 Saving in the Bank and promise to please and maintain me if I agree to morry him. I was not impressed by the £2,000 he clammed to have had in the Bank t u t 1 was impressed by his promise t o please and maintain me. I was also impressed by his appearanze. I agreed and we married together. The first month I came to his house I received a good treatment. Every thing was normal. But when we entered the second month I experieneed a slight change. The third and fourth month were deplorable and micerable. The man started to show me h ~ s true colnur and I regretted my marriage with h ~ m . �He started t o beat me, started to make mouth at me for the shghtert offence, started to d o me a11 sort of things a man supposed not to d o his wife. What action did I take? I left the man with his insincerity, with his unfaithfulness, with his oruelty, witbhis senselessness and his wickedness. The attitude of the man has made me te condemn men and always look at them with unreliable eyes. The littles in them pretend to be big. No more with me and men I have chosen independent life. Elizabeth Nwa. Obikalu Oki, E. Nigeria ADVICE: Elizabeth, I can assure you that I am not annoyed because you criticised men of which I am among. I only against destructive criticism. I am also sorry for your broken marriage. Whom will I blame, is it you or the man for the failure of the marriage? I will not now blame any party for being responsible for the failure of the marriage until I hear both sides I have heard you but have not heard the voice of your former husband. �One book says: "Don't give judgement until you hear both sides of the case "Do you know Elizabeth that woman is born to be under man as man is born to carry the responsibility of woman? That a woman who is disobedient and has quick temper can not succeed in marriage? Referring to your decision to become an independent girl, it is the worst you have said. Do you know that an independent woman has no way to refute the charge that she is a prostitute? That is very hard t o resist the trials of men? That people will look you very down? Please revoke your plan if you wanr to save your self from blemish and regret. The last is your condemnation to entire men. You have misfired. Don't you know that all mcn as wrll as wolnen are not bad or good. To say the truth the number of good men leads the number of the women who are good. If you don't know, knaw it as from now. And it is unwise to assume that all men are unreliable simply because a certian man disappointed you. The fourth letter comes from !i man whose wife over-powers during fighting and the advice given him and you. �My own case is this : M y wife Paulinah is a strong woman and il tireless fighter. Instead I will overpower her during fighting, she overpowers me. Being that, she has known that she is stronger than me, she disregards my orders. Please tell me what I will do this woman?4. Okereke Uche, Abudu, N. Nigeria. Advice: There is no reason why a woman sbould overpower you, Why say what is expected from a woman? It m?ans that there is a certair thing you do. which makes you very weak or are you s~ck? You cannot do the woman any' thing than to avoid affray and keep your house in peace by displinary action. Don't fight next time, fighting lets some one down and you cannot reform a woman by beating her or quarreling with her. The fifth letter comes from a girl who is io difficulty in choosing a good husband arid the advice given her and yon. 5. Two men are coming t o merry me The one I love has no money to maintain me but the one I don't like has plentv of monev to give me. Please tell ma w h d L LAY. o Veronica 0.B Ebi. Onitsha 46 �Advice: If you know that you cannot marry the man whom you love because he has no money and cannot also marry a money man you don't like, wait for the man whom you love and at the same time have money.

Language A language of the resource English Subject The topic of the resource Nigerian literature (English) Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context ksrl.c3552 Description An account of the resource The cover of '<em>Beware of Women</em>' is upside down and backwards--a fitting situation for this title! The pamphlet begins its hostility toward women with a disturbing declaration: "<em>When you travel to other continents of the world you see that women of those parts, behave better and more lovely than our mongerish African Women&hellip;In order to discipline them, this little but effective booklet has been produced,</em>" (pg.2).&nbsp;<br /><br />The editor, presumably Okenwa, claims that the author, Nathan Njoku, is not a hater of women but an impartial observer. It is also made clear through a disclaimer that these letters and subsequent investigations are fictional--the product of Njoku's imagination. And yet the writer describes African women as greedy, manipulative and pretentious. Women are the enemy, according to Njoku,and they are just as likely to poison young men as liquidate (bankrupt) or cuckold them. "I am now at WAR with African women," declares Njoku, (pg.6).&nbsp;<br /><br />Njoku tells his readers "do not love women more than money, but love money more than women," (pg.14). But just a few pages later Njoku condemns women for loving money more than their husbands or boyfriends. The author even believes that the general wickedness of women has had biological effects. They no longer grow as tall, they develop breasts and become sexually mature at an early age, and they will accept a few pennies from boys and agree with "whatever the boy tells them," (pg.19).<br /><br />The anecdotes range from brief stories of how or why women will ruin the male reader and run the "four forty" (i.e. run away with men's wealth) to longer tales of how women will poison husbands and boyfriends for a little money. Njoku advises men that they have great responsibilities to their parents, community and children. He also says that a good boy is known by "salutation,respect, obedience, devotion to his duty and quietness", as opposed to a bad boy's display of "carelessness, disobedience, stubbornness and noise," (pg.47). Good girls are known for their "shyness, quietness, respect, obedience and likeness to domestic work," whereas bad girls "lack shyness [and] shame,"(pg.48). Overall, the pamphlet offers advice to men about why they cannot trust women,signaling a rift in Nigerian society over changing gender roles. The author,who also publishes under the name Felix Stephen, writes in most of his pamphlets about relationships with women and warns men away from marriage unless they want children. Women are viewed as threatening and only "very feware fair," (pg.2). Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
