THE PLANNED TO KILL THE OLD WOMAN

Mama Achalugo is a widow who lives in a village in Anambra State with her late younger brother's children. The children had no one who cared to take care of them when their parent passed away. Mama whose children live in the cities needed someone around her so she took the children in. After all, they are her brother's children.

Mama is a strong old woman. She is popularly called Nwagbogho in the village because she looked 50 even though she is 75. She sells perishable food even though her children cater for her and the orphans.

CHIOMA, MR AGBOLA AND WEST AFRICAN EXAMINATION COUNCIL EXAMINATION (WAEC)

Chioma was a young girl with dreams and aspirations one of which was to study Banking and Finance or Mathematics because she was good at maths and thereafter work in the finance industry in Nigeria. She had these dreams even when she knew she was a science student. She also knew she had to study hard to achieve these dreams.
