One day Mr. Samuel Osondu Nwosu's daughter got married. The young man who married her was well to do. He paid a handsome brideprice as it is the custom of the land. He and his relatives happily took the 116 new bride, Ikepeghe-bu-ure (Money is Pride) to her new home.

The newly married couple lived happily for a while before some minor matrimonial misunderstandings started to prop up their hateful appearance.

lkpeghe-bu-ure, or Obu-ure (is Pride) for short, was in a sad state.

She and her husband could no longer get along.

It was obvious that she nagged him often while the stronger partner responded by beating her quite often. Obu-ure sent message to her father to do something about her situation. "Papa please return the bride-price to the man. I'm dying. I'm lost. I want to return home" was her message.

Mr. Samuel Osondu Nwosu was gravely touched by the "plight of my daughter in her husband's house" as the man later narrated.

Naturally, however, Maazi Osondu Nwosu and his younger sister, Nwodo had to discuss the issue before any decided, rather decisive action would be taken.Maazi (Mr.) Osondu Nwosu was a man of great courage and abundant means. Both his daughter and his new son-in-law knew that. He ranged among the few richest men in Ohanze-Isiahia from 1950s to 1970.
