Franklin who was yet to accept the fact that his challenges were not ordinary, vowed not to ever return back to Lagos where he's being hunted for sleeping with both married and single women, it was said that haven failed to secure any job in the ancient city, Franklin eventually swallowed his shame and settled for a truck pushing job at the new Benin market from where he was able to save some money to rent a room and parlour apartment where he lived and got married with his wife and six children for over 20years.
Like the blast of a thunder, every single word as pronounced by his late father all began to drop one after the other, right before his eyes Franklin buried three of his sons, who were shot dead by the police during armed robbery operations, his three daughters became so wayward that there was hardly any week that at least one of them is not apprehended and beaten up in the market for stealing, their wayward lifestyle was so terrible that they all gave birth to children for different men inside their father's two rooms apartment, however, the most devastating of them all was the shocking discovery that some of his daughter's children were disgracefully fathered by his late sons and this shameful discovery led to the instant heart attack that killed his wife.
Haven lost everything, it was then dawn on Franklin that the curse of over 35years had wrecked an irrevocable havoc in his entire life, well, Franklin according to my source visited his village in the deep of the night and without wasting time consulted the elders in his kindred, pleading with them to help him beg his late father to forgive him of all his atrocities and reserve the curses, anyway, the elders accompanied him to his father's grave where they pleaded with the late chief to forgive and be merciful but that was like medicine after death as the damage was already done.
