But this was perhaps only possible within the rusty playground of Iviukwe, my community (now a big city), where I grew up.How do I  describe a behemoth masquerade that scales bridges, leaps across swathes of forested lands, or dances on rooftops? Perhaps, the helpless onlooker would only waddle in wonderment, muttering borrowed incantations and wishing he could do likewise with such dexterity. This is my dilemma in wr...

In the story of the ten lepers Jesus healed in Luke 17, only one of them, a Samaritan, came back to acknowledge the manifestation of his healing as he was going to show himself to the priests.
