Book excerpt: Nnadi Uzomba,a native of Amoka refused to be bound by native custom especially the ritual of female circumcision. His stiff resistance was due to the death of several of his childhood mates including his elder sister Oluchi, as a result of injuries sustained from the knife of circumcision. But his Amoka people would not take this effrontery to age-long tradition,as the gods would be angry if they renege on the circumcision of girl.Consequently ,Nnadi was captured and cast into slavery and his family ruined by the arrow-heads. But in course of voyage, he was rescued by the British anti slave naval vessel and brought to Calabar where he met Meryl a pioneer missionary. He was to form part of the early effort in proselytizing the hinterland including his native Amokaland, where he was reunited with his beleaguered family.
