Horror of an African Woman, first literary classic on Bancassurance and Womanhood in the African Creative Space, is the gory tale and vulnerability of an economically underpowered African widow, as well as the difficult challenges and emotional torture most African women go through in life, from cradle to the grave age, including in the corporate world. Jummai and Kucheli are two teenage girls with high hopes of a bright future which was suddenly submerged in the tragedy of reckless men. Kesina, an insurance goddess fell in love with a red nose medicine man who poisoned her liver with the deadly virus of suspicion, a disease made worse by her office arch-rival Ibironke, the jealous Princess of Kiko-Ife Kingdom. Yet in what appears like the world’s deadliest assault on the fragile heart of the African Woman, Smith Agabus is arm-twisted by his friend, Chief Bassey to gamble with his family fortune making his beautiful wife, Sylvia a vulnerable widow entangled in a web of horror. Then Musa the Actuarist is battling to survive blackmail as he’s suspiciously plotting to unseat Mrs Tawiah, the CEO of the biggest insurance company in the sub-region?. Inspired by his encounter with a young beautiful widow in the street of Lagos in 2006, Chima Nwachukwu in this classical masterpiece takes us through a tale of deceit, betrayal, violence, fraud, love, romance, heartbreak and brilliant display of tact and willpower, never has the story of a battered African Woman been so intriguing.
