“Amaka, you’re going to be fine, I’m right here with you, I love you so much,” Daniel said, his voice full of both anxiety and affection.
Amaka smiled weakly, squeezing his hand. “I love you too, Daniel. Our little girl is almost here.”, She said with a faint smile as she was wheeled to the labor room.
Hours passed, and Amaka’s labor became complicated. The doctors decided that an emergency cesarean section was necessary.
Daniel’s heart pounded with fear, but he stayed strong for Amaka.
The doctor approached them, his expression serious.
“Mr. Daniel, your wife needs a C-section. There are some complications, and she’s losing a lot of blood.”
Daniel’s voice shook as he replied, ” No doctor C-section is dangerous, I can’t risk that, are there no other way out of this”
“I’m sorry, Mr Daniel, this is the only way out, and my kind advice, if you truly love your wife and also want the safety of your daughter, do this for them”, he tapped him on the shoulder and headed to his office.
“No, no my wife is safe In Jesus name, she would deliver like the Hebrew women because my Bible said so”, emeka groaned in pain rushed out and returned with some prayer team to help pray for the wife.
The prayer team without hesitation, quicked off with immediate effect their voice so loud, calling down the fire, in their midst was Mr Daniel crying helplessly with the hope that there would be a miracle.
The prayers became intensive as their voice echoed in between the walls inconveniencing others.
“What do they think they are doing?”, A nurse asked her colleague.
“Praying of course, the man seems to be a believer or do you have any problem with that?”, She asked.
“Not exactly, I might not be a strong believer but am sure of a passage in the Bible that says and I quote, (Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God, James 2:17-20) see my dear I think he should have at least listened to the doctor, authorize the C-section and then invite the whole church over here for prayers, you and I know how complicated that woman’s condition is”, she replied.
“Yes, you are right, God have mercy”, she declared with a heavy sign of relief.
Immediately another nurse rushed in panting, “Mr Daniel your wife is dying she’s losing strength and blood, the doctor wants to see you now” she broke the news and returned back to the ward.
“Jesus Christ, No, no, nothing will happen to my wife”, he lamented until he got to the doctors office.
Yes doctor, what’s situation of things?” He asked
“Worst , it is getting worser by the second, Mr Daniel give us this approval please, do this for your wife and most importantly for your unborn baby please am begging you”, the doctor reacted
“Doctor we have handed over everything to God already, nothing will happen to my wife, I assure you”
“Am sorry, Mr Daniel if nothing is done in few hours we might lose them, their live are in your hands now not God”, he thundered
“Nothing of such will happen, do whatever you need to do to save them. Take my blood, take whatever you need but as for the C-section no, am sorry I can’t agree to such.”
“Then you are don’t believe in God, you are scared of loosing her to the surgery forgetting that we can either safe any of them from this impending doom or possibly the both, but you see this stupid action of yours, it won’t only cost you their lives but your happiness, if you don’t sign this agreement now then take your wife elsewhere I don’t attend and tolerate insensitive and unfortunate people here”, he thundered.
Mr Daniel had mixed feelings afterwards, with tears in his eyes to took the pen and approved, “it is done now doctor, I’m sorry please do everything to save my family”.
Immediately the doctor and his team, swinged into action as they were now more determined than ever.
Amaka was wheeled into surgery room, Daniel watched helplessly. He prayed, hoping for a miracle. He donated blood, desperate to save his beloved wife and their unborn child.
A nurse tried to comfort him, saying, “You’re very brave, Mr. Daniel. Your blood and prayers might just save her.”
“Please, let them be okay,” Daniel whispered, his voice breaking.
Hours felt like an eternity. Finally, a doctor approached Daniel, his face grave.
“Mr. Daniel, if only you had approved of this earlier enough, we should be telling a different story, I’m sorry. He paused
We did everything we could, but Amaka… she didn’t make it, neither did the baby. I’m so so sorry, please accept my deepest condolences,” the doctor said, his voice heavy with regret.
Daniel’s world shattered. The love of his life, his precious Amaka, was gone. And with her, their unborn daughter. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
“No! This can’t be happening. Amaka, please come back. Please…” Daniel cried, his voice filled with unimaginable pain.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Daniel was a shadow of his former self. He refused to remarry, swearing to love Amaka till the end of time. He spent countless hours looking at their pictures, reliving the memories they had shared.
Holding a photo of them on their wedding day, Daniel whispered, “We were so happy, Amaka. Why did this have to happen? I miss you so much.”
Every Sunday, he visited her grave, bringing fresh flowers and talking to her as if she were still with him.
Kneeling at her grave, he spoke softly, “Amaka, my love, I promised I’d never let you go. I’ll love you forever. I can’t move on. You were my everything, my love, my jewel, I would have prevented this but my fear got hold on my faith, I’m sorry I had to let you go through this pain”
Amaka sat beside her graveside overwhelmed in tears as she listened to her husband Mr Daniel, the bond of their love was so strong that to the extent that he kept his words and promises to his wife Five years passed, and Daniel’s pain remained as raw as the day he lost her. One night, he had a vivid dream. Amaka appeared before him, radiant and serene.
“Daniel, my love. It’s time to let go,” she said gently, her voice like a balm to his wounded heart.
Tears streamed down Daniel’s face as he reached out to her. “Amaka? Is it really you?”
“Yes, it’s me,” she replied, her eyes full of love and understanding. “You’ve mourned me long enough. It’s time for you to live again.”
“But I promised to love you forever. I can’t just forget you,” Daniel said, his voice trembling.
Amaka smiled softly, “You don’t have to forget me. I’ll always be a part of you. But you deserve happiness, Daniel. Our daughter would want you to be happy too.”
Daniel nodded slowly, understanding dawning in his eyes. “I’ll try, Amaka. For you, and for our daughter.”
The dream faded, but the message remained clear. Amaka wanted him to move on, to find joy again. Daniel woke up with a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in years.
He knew it was time to let go, to live again, while always keeping Amaka in his heart.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
