The right answe is "C.shortly after the Nigerian Civil War "

The story starts off in eastern Nigeria after the civil war has ended. The protagonist, Jonathan Iwegbu, was able to keep his bicycle, which he turns into a taxi to make money. In two weeks he makes 150 pounds. Jonathan then travels to Enugu to search for his home, and to his surprise it is still standing when other structures around it are demolished. The house needs some repairs, so Jonathan finds some supplies around and makes it look like a home again. He then moves his family back in. The entire family works hard to earn money and rebuild their lives. The children pick mangoes and Maria makes akara balls to sell. After finding that his job as a miner isn't a possibility he decides to run a bar for soldiers out of his house.

Jonathan gets an "egg rasher" (a butchered pronunciation of the Latin ex gratia, which translates into "as a favor") for turning in rebel currency to the Treasury, and in exchange they gave him 20 pounds legitimate currency. The next night, a large group of robbers show up at his house demanding 100 pounds. When Jonathan replies that he only has 20 pounds, the leader of the robbers demands he hand the money through the open window. After they take the money, life goes on as usual for Jonathan because "Nothing Puzzles God," meaning that the robbery has a greater meaning in God's eyes than how it seemed to Jonathan.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Hey, hows this so far

Explanation:

I was sitting on the carpet floor, in front of the TV, with crumbs on my cheeks and a half-eaten, chocolate chip cookie in my little hands. A pile of toys surrounded me and  nearby my aunt rested in a rocking chair snoring gently, while the clocked ticked by, counting the seconds until my baby brother's birth. At the time, of course, I had no idea there would be another tiny human invading my parents' attention. So there I was awaiting the arrival of my family, not a care in the world, other than sneaking more cookies from the cookie jar. In my toddler mind I knew something special was going to happen, a "surprise", my mother told me as i hugged her before she left that day. I noticed her tummy was very big and there was something moving in it.

Write a statement about a policy that requires all students to complete 100 hours of community service during their high school
Mrac [35]
When community service is required for graduation it sparks creativity in students and propels them to create projects that may have a profound impact on the local community. Also, when students work with community leaders in public service they start to make connections that may help them later in their careers or life.
