Elders and youth of Edunero, Yorinle and Ibokele people are seen putting heads together and reasoning on how to unravel the riddles already set by their brothers in power. Joined with the elders, are Alero, Omene, Uwaila, Mabel, Chukwuma, Adeyinka, Osaro, Yetunde.
Adeyinka the special adviser to the elders’ council stood up to address the gathering. he said! “I have heard about the internal war that has arisen recently in this our great empire as I can feel the heat from it. I’m envisaging that if care is not taking, and if proper caution is not observed, this may send many people to their untimely death. Therefore, I deemed it fit to be in this gathering today in order to offer some words of advice to my people on how to avoid this impending commotion.
Yetunde responded by asking what are you talking about that I don’t know? You are talking about internal community clash and others. Who actually is facing this situation?
Why do you pretend, retorted Omene, are you not aware that our brother, the former head of Akogah Empire was forcefully removed from office by some curious and furious people from the Habekona, Noribalu and the Wabudu clan? Are you not aware that they ask me to buy a diesel for them which they poured around some of the clans in their area and set fire on it, to my amazement they credited the havoc to the government of our brother Mr. Nickfallow Decki Where you not also an active tool in the hand of Abdul-Karin the very person who coordinated the importation of foreigners to mess up our growing democracy? Were you not with Abdul-karin the very day he called me to his sitting room and promised the seat of the Secretary of Akogah land, if he wins? Where you not there when he pleaded with me to instigate the loyalist of our former leader against him and his nascent government system, in order for them to betray him in the election? Weren’t you the one that joined him (Abdul-karin) to plead with me to assist him get the seat, knowing how desperate he was to get hold of it? Why are you pretending as if you don’t know what is happening. Have you not served in that seat before? Do you not know the complication associated with it? Will you sincerely say you don’t know what out brother! Your brother, Mr. Nickfallow Decki was actually facing with the powerful people that claimed to own this empire? Where you not an instrument to pull our brother away from there because you feel he was not playing to all your tunes of dictate to him?
Mabel trips in and said…. Ask Yetunde! Baba Yetunde, Is it True? All these allegation Omene level against you, is it really true?
Alero cried out loudly ……. Said, if what Omene has just said is true, we are finished.
We have lost our fancy, we have lost our beauty, we have lost our pride, and we have lost our everything. We have been doomed. This is not a problem that started today so, we may also not be able to end it now. But what should our next line of action be? Uwaila ask
Yetunde got furious and exploded in words……… it is true that I master minded the forceful remover of our former leader, our own brother, our clansman, what wrong have I done? What section of our law have I contravened?
Before this whole incident of taking side with these wabudu, Noribalu and the Habekona people started, did I not called our brother the former head of Akogah and warned him of the impending dangers? Was he not aware of the situation and relationship between all the clans & communities that make up this great Akogah Empire? Wasn’t he aware of what was expected from him from his people? Are you people not aware of all the errors he was making? Do you not know that he was not listening to anyone anymore? Have you forgotten about the wonderful role I played, the tedious risk I took, and how many enemies I contained because I work for our child to come into power and repair things for us in this nation?
Have you forgotten the game I played just to succeed in my plan of giving power to our people? You people must understand that when I, the leader in that seat everybody fears me, they respect me, they believed me and they obeyed me. But because I put myself on the position to give my people a sense of belonging I became a scape goat and people that were formally in trepidation when they see me, now look down on me. Because whenever I advise our past leader he does not listen to me.
We the elder’s statesmen of Akogah land comprehend all you did to ensure our people have a taste of the power at the peak. We know the risk, the pain and stress you pass though just to allow the child of the owner have a taste of his father’s inheritance said Osifo, but does that warrant that you expose you sheep to the wolves because they disobeys you?
Madam Alero in her wisdom suggested “my people, if the last information about someone is bad”, it will take a patience person a very long time to think about the many good he had done before. Therefore, even if you was the one that fought or do every thing to make our past leader taste the position of leadership, Baba Yetunde, the thing you have done now to fight against the same person you claimed you help to rise, fall again, you have never done anything before. We are now in a new era of things. You agreed that you work towards the fall of our brother, meaning you can also work towards the fall of all of us.
Our people demand a sincere apology from you. And you must be commissioned to lead the way to go and meet our former leader and plead with him for his forgiveness. we have been so informed that it’s only our former leader that can change the situation we are now and make us become relevant again, we must not forget that there are certain things you must not do when in the seat of power. But that you can do when you are out of the seat. Mabel cut in ……….. my people! The rulership of this empire has been revolving around a particular circle of the same people for long, and we have always been affected negatively by the various past leadership. All of us are making our mouth blaming our past head of Akogah Empire of one error or another. Take note that this new dictator you have struggled to help get the seat from us now, have a record that is unpalatable to the people.
