"One day, we saw our father cutting the stick and burying it. We were
very sad indeed. In fact, I kept a vigil over the grave of the stick
with the rising sun after he had finished. He buried his pistol, too.
He saw father's face and sadness was written boldly all over it. He
told us that Nigerian soldiers had entered the town and that that they
whisked every adult male from any compound where any artform or
anything that carried the symbol of Biafra was found. We understood
that he needed to be safe but we were very sad for losing a great
friend carved in wood!"
