Warri here I come! vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
MOUNTAIN OF YESTERDAY.It also happens that Warri is basically the setting of ‘Lords of the Creek’. I believe the residents and entire people of Warri will find the story particularly interesting. ‘Lords of the Creek’ is an action-packed thriller that is currently being made into a movie by the best hands in the industry. Below is an excerpt from the book:Robert and his policemen were almost at Jakpa Junction before Robert noticed the roads were virtually deserted.
Ebikeme took Robert into the house while the policemen stayed at the gate. The Perkins power generator had been turned off, but his son switched it back on. In minutes, the generator began to hum, sending light into the house.Mr. Ebikeme recoiled as though he’d been hit by a bullet. “What! Have you gone mad, Robert?”“I think your recent traumatic experiences are beginning to affect you. I advise you take some days off to rest.
“Itsekiri people did not stop us from going to Oporoza. I was in the car with the M.D. It was a last-minute security report.” “By the way, do you know what the time is? Do you know where Tonye lives? How many hours it’ll take to go there and return?”“Do you know how risky it is to ply the creeks in the afternoon, let alone at night? Where are you going to get a speedboat at this time? Who will pilot it?”“My friend I don’t think you know what you are talking about.
From where Robert sat, he heard Ebikeme chatting over the phone in Ijaw language. He could not make out anything he was saying as he barely understood the language, but from the tone of the discussion, he knew Ebikeme was making an effort to persuade whoever was on the other end. Robert held his breath and prayed it turned out in his favour. For a few seconds, he did not hear anything. Then, the door swung open.
