The Road to Discovery

The Road To Discovery is a story about a contemporary woman's life in Africa. It is a story of love, culture, education, disease, equality, and discovery. It is a mind-boggling look at the life of a barren woman in Amagwu-nze in Enugu State-how she suffered humiliations but later gave birth to a female child. The worth of a child born in Africa still received a shrug of indifference owing to the absence or presence of a male organ. The female children were of no significance in their land of birth. Anulika had a dream of changing the notion. She lost her parents at a very tender age and that trapped her in a snare she did not believe. She was later taken to Enugu City after enduring much suffering in the village. She thought life in the city would be better but it turned out the other way around. The road was tough but she never gave up. Luck fell on her when she met Dr. Ajuluchukwu, the Principal of Divine Love Secondary School, Trans-Ekulu while hawking in the street. She has always supported girl-child education. She took her home and gave her a new story. She later studied Applied Biology at Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, got her Master's in the same school and proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka for her Ph.D. Even with the wealth of knowledge, she had she could not boast of a good Job in Nigeria. An endemic disease crept into the world and Government called on all scientists to research the cure for the disease that killed in seconds and it was airborne. This paragon of intelligence tagged her Journey "THE ROAD TO DISCOVERY,'' But the question is, did she abandon her quest because it was tough? Savour this palatable dish.
