Knighted Again – Ch.2 | KT OLLA

NILE and Victoria were born close to each other but didn’t meet. Then they raced through their life to cross paths.

The tangled swans weren’t twins or cousins separated from each other at birth.

Still when they were born at the borderlines of Uganda and South Sudan, it seemed all forces didn’t want them close.

So they toiled almost 2 decades to come near.

Nile was born in Juba, which later became the capital of South Sudan in East Africa.

It was during Sudan’s religious war when the southern side of the nation hadn’t seceded.

Nile’s parents were travelling missionaries. His father was a charismatic leader, always sought after for his powerful words.

So Philip Wadibe and his wife who trained as a nurse were the hands the American mission there, sought.

The couple were citizens of Cape Islands, an indigenous country sitting off the western coast of South Africa. Just beyond the coastal waters of Cape Town.

Now they’d barely settled in Juba of what became South Sudan, when they had Nile. He was their last child.

But the kid wasn’t named Nile because River Nile flows through their new town, no.

But because they heard it was unstoppable. So they wanted their son quite as resilient as the Nile.

The parents prayed that he’d break through as Nile cuts through deserts to be the longest course that flows up north. The biggest river that climbs.

Yes, the Nile digs desert sand down to sea level, to garner more streams and pour. So the Wadibes named their son this.

But Juba was seated in the southern borders of South Sudan. And just beyond this very borderline sat the peaceful country of Uganda.

Then further down on Uganda’s south border was the capital city of Kampala. There, Victoria Williams was being born.

Now Lake Victoria spreads itself from beyond Kampala down into another territory.

And though they named it Victoria, it could lead Vickie away from Nile.
