This
holiday season, Emmanuel Ngene is spending his sixth year inside a South
Eastern United States penitentiary.
At 56, he has 225 years, five
months and ten days left to serve for first degree rape of his daughter,
a crime he continues to deny, supported by members of his network of
friends and family.
Few years after he was incarcerated, Emma Ngene had
partial stroke from the stress of the trial and subsequent imprisonment.
Emmanue
Ngene, like most aspiring young Nigerians whose lives were mortgaged to a
battered inflation-driven economy of early 80s, sought survival
overseas.
He chose the United States as his destination for better life.
He relocated in 1981. He would discover that life in God’s own country
was just an imaginary tale.
On arrival, Emmanuel desired education. But
he had no money. Survival in a strange place, alone, was then important
to him. He engaged in menial jobs to support his dreams of a better life
here.
