HOW THE TRICK HAS BEEN LEAKED.
The elders and youth of Edunero, Yorinle and Ibokele
districts 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 who is the special adviser to the elders in council,
stood up to address the gathering. He said! “I have heard about the internal
war that has risen recently in this our great kingdom, one can easily feel the
heat from it even from a distance. I’m envisaging that if caution is not taking,
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 Pa. Adeyinka what he was talking
about that others don’t know? You are talking about internal community clash
and others. Who actually is facing this situation?
Why do you pretend as if you are not aware of the malicious
recital being perpetrated by these power swathed brothers of ours, retorted
Omene, are you not aware that our brother, the former head of Akogah kingdom
was forcefully removed from office by some curious and furious people from the
Habekona, Noribalu and the Wabudu tribes? Are you not aware that they ask me to
buy a diesel for them which they poured around some of the communities around
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 I do my best and make him 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 then are you pretending now as if you are not aware of 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 (Cabal) that claimed to own this kingdom? Where you not an instrument
to pull down our brother from that esteemed seat of authority? Just because you
feel he was not playing to all your dictates?
Mabel commented by asking Baba Yetunde, to help them Ask Pa.
Adeyinka whether all what Omene has narrated is true. Alero on her part cried out loudly and said,
if what Omene has just said is true, then we are finished. That means we have
lost our fancy, we have lost our beauty, we have lost our pride, and we have
lost everything that makes us relevant. Which means 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.
Pa. Adeyinka got furious and exploded in words; it is true
that I master minded the forceful removal of our former leader, our own
brother, our tribesman, what is wrong in that? What section of our law have I
contravened?
Before this whole incident of taking side with these wabudu,
Noribalu and the Habekona people, did I not call our brother the former head of
Akogah and warned him of the impending dangers? Was he not aware that such
situation that can cause his downfall was looming? Did he not understand that the
relationship between all the clans & communities that make up this great
Akogah land was gradually cooling off on his government? Wasn’t he aware of
what was expected from him at that time to win back 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, our brother, our own blood 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 to ensure our people also taste this power? You people must understand
that when I was in the seat of power in Akogah land, everybody fears me, they
respect me, they believed me and they obeyed me. But because I put myself in
the position to give my people a sense of relevance, I became a scape goat and
people that were formally in trepidation when they see me, now looked down on
me. Probably, because whenever I advise our past leader he does not listen to
me.
But you are supposed to understand that 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 and the
effort you put in to make sure one of our own have a taste of our father’s
inheritance said Osifo, but does that warrant that you expose your sheep to the
wolves because they disobeyed 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 everything to make our past leader taste the position of
leadership, Pa. Adeyinka, the thing you have done now to fight against the same
person you claimed you help to rise, to fall again, has proved that you never
did anything good for Prof. Nickfallow Decki 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 our brother
Adeyinka, Pa. Uwaifo cuts in. 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 with our brother Professor Nickfallow in our mist, we can
change this situation of things with ease.
At this junction, Mabel cuts in ad said, my people! The leadership
of this land has been revolving around a particular circle of people who
believes they are the owner of power of Akogah Kigdom, hence they have bee
holding o to power for a very long time now, and we have always been affected
negatively by the style of their leadership. I wonder why all of us here are
blaming only our past head of Akogah of committing
one error or another. Is it in his time the problems we are facing presently
started, even our present head of Akogah, our brother Abdul Karin, previously
ruled, and when he was at the seat rulership was it not this same problems he claimed
to be solving? How old was our dear brother Nickfallow Decki then when Abdul
Karin hitherto sat o that throne?
We should recognize that these dictators you have helped to
overturn the government and collect leadership from your people will make sure
they relegate you and make you irrelevant to yourself and to those around you
in a short while. Mark my words.
His past precedents should have given you a clear glimpse of
what to expect at this time Or do you think he has changed? I am not regretting
since we will be in it together.
