Rising Earth

The Rising Earth is a story of two worlds, Umuosisi and Umuocham. At inception, the two worlds were given the same set of circumstances. Each world lived her life based on their understanding, interpretation, and use of natural resources available to her. The people of Umuosisi lived a life that preserved their natural resources, while Umuocham, out of greediness, lived a life that exploited their natural resources. At the end, the descendents of Umuosisi lived a life of happiness without diseases, hunger, violence, injustice, or war. They were reputed singers. On the other hand, the Umuocham people struggled as labourers to improve their life by acquiring various technologies. The more technologies they acquired, the worse their living conditions became. They were ravaged with hunger, unemployment, diseases, wars, rising temperatures, and river dryness. A nongovernmental organization, Green Earth Initiative, emerged in Umuocham to save them from dying. The organization identified the use of fire as the major factor responsible for their woes. They hired Emeka to extinguish fire in Umuocham and reverse the course of the Earth.
