Challenges of Life
(Chapter 7)
IN ANOTHER PURPOSEFUL GATHERING OF THE EDUNERO, IBOKELE AND THE YORINLE ELDERS; Alero, in her usual mild tune said; “we are content with the size and type of land we have. Our land is fertile and productive.
We love our brothers and sisters that God has given to us; because they are hospitable, loving and liberal, we even tried our best to show sincere love to these people that claimed to be our brothers. Instead of reciprocating our love, they rather prefer to be sucking our precious blood. Despite that, we still decided to accommodate them and be hospitable to them, believing they are ignorant of that act.
But what do we get in return? They repay us with abhorrence by taking over our rights and inheritance, they maimed us, they drove us away from our homes and set it on fire, and they pursue us as far to our farms. And right there, they rape our wives in our very presence, killed our husbands, they even make their animal make love to our beautiful daughters, after which they feed their animals with the produce from our farms’ they take over our inheritance by force, they make us refugee in our own land. “THEY MUST LEAVE US ALONE OR WE LEAVE THEM FOR GOOD”
