whole issue turns bad on me one faithful day that I, my father and mother w=
ere traveling for a summer vacation through road, we had an accident and my=
mum died instantly while my father was hospitalized before he finally gave=
up his ghost.

hings went soar between me and my uncles in such a way that they pushed me =
out of the house, took all my fathers belongings and properties to share am=
ong themselves and the worst part of it all, they went and confisticate all=
my fathers bank account and even my education endowments account which was=
set-up by my father.
