Minna, Saturday Chizzy Ndukwe N

They Do The Will Of God, And Still Everyone Dies!Ngozi goes to church; Hakeem meets with his brothers; Amara feels blessed; Tawfiq finally finds courage; Emeka returns to old ways; Rukayatu's day insistently gets ruined by his daughter. These six residents of Minna, Niger State, wake up to their lives on a Saturday the same way they greeted the Friday before. Unknown to them is the fact that all their paths were about to cross in one day, and the doom that spells carries with it the weight of years after years of ethno-religious vitriol and despising that has gone on to reshape Northern Nigeria. And so, the inadvertent actions of a long-bereaved wife, a devout worshipper, a miracle-seeker, a wanderer, a fighter, and a failing father result to a tale of strife, struggle, temptation and shame, told in the streets of Minna of a certain Saturday that will not be forgotten. And the common thing with all six - they all did the will of God for them...or so they thought.
