Abstract
As a boy, a particular song in my small village in Umumba Ndiagu never ceased to fascinate me. This song goes like this: Onwu bu onye oshi o Onwu bu onye oshi o, o buru ogbalu nawa (Death is a thief. He steals and zooms off with his booty.) I wondered what death looked like. I thought then that death was a physical being, full of masculinity like Okwokwo of Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. I wondered why death would always come, steal and escape without being arrested. I felt I could ask my father why our village men could not apprehend death. (I am pretty sure if I had known a lot of police officers then, the type we have today, I could have asked them to arrest death.)
