The Town Hall Meeting

The Elders of the Utari people which comprise Edunero clan, the Ibokele clan and the Yorinle clan, summons an emergency meeting of all the Elders, active youths, natives and other important personalities among the people to discuss the way forward for the Utari people of Akogah land.

The special meeting was scheduled for the main hall of Are-Ile-Owo Secondary School, Edunero community. And Papa Aideienten the Osasetin of Ibokele clan presided over the meeting.

Now everyone was quietly seated and the Mic-man stood up to introduce the chairman of the occasion to all present. The Mic-Man was Mr. Osarietinomwan while the chairman of the exceptional meeting was Papa Aidienten.

My people you are all welcome to this great decision making meeting of the Utari people. When I first heard about the plan of our Arere brothers to remove us from the existence in this land, I immediately communicated the information to our children abroad to give them clue of what we are now facing in the hand of our own brothers, in the land of our own birth. They advised me to summon a town hall meeting where our people will be consulted and the decision on the next step to take, be reached. And after the meeting, I should reach back to them what our resolves are.

Hence I have summoned this Great Brain Cracking Meeting today, so that we should plan together how we want our future to be. We will now call on Elder Adechukwu to open this program with prayer.

Now that we have handed over this gathering to our ancestors and our creator, I am calling on our daughter Mabel to tell us what she experience in the hand of our new Head of Akogah empire.

Mabel stood up and said “my fathers, my elders, our husbands, our clansmen and everyone here present, the great and wonderful youth of Akogah-land! I am once again privilege to speak in the mist of great and prosperous people like you. Similar to what I said earlier before the tyrant head of Akogah nation, I want to repeat it once again before my people.

In the presentation after they order me out of the darkroom they call prison, I asked Mr. Abdul-karin why he has made the lifestyle of the people of Utari as they called us miserable, laborious and short-lived? By means of Abdul-karin system of ruler ship, he has removed from the minds and hearts of Utari people happiness and leisure. He has succeeded in making our lives misery and Laborious which automatically turn us into their slaves; their working tools.

What Akogah has faced this recent time in the hand of Abdul-karin is nothing more than utter chaos and disorder, serious struggle with massive insecurity and the killing of innocent citizens by the Arere people, weak political structure, dilapidating policies, empty promises, misuse of the nations treasury and increased corruption.

The Akogah’s are heading for a journey, a new way of life. They are going to be experiencing a condition they have never experienced before. A first class suffering, but I assure you! In a very short period of time, an escape route may be made available. But only those with insight will recognize it. That period of grace for anyone with discernment shall come and it will wear a very beautiful suit. As clean as has never been known by anyone in this empire. It will be dressed as a groom ready to take a bride. There will be lot of food drinks and other related gift to dish out to all that attended that occasion. Immediately after the program, if possible, even the Bride and Groom will go into hiding because, they need to pay back money borrowed for the occasion. That is exactly what will be faced in this Akogah land in the shortest possible time and it will be in this tattered government of Abdul-karin. In this government, there’s going to be the highest bloodshed in this da-da-sa continent which Akogah is a high breed country. The highest percentage of innocent youths, children and women will be killed; the highest number of death in the Akogah cabinet will recorded and the worst corruption situation in history will happen”.

I told our dictator leader to his very face; I assured him that revolution is the answer; rebellion is the solution to our problems. That is the only way we can remove ourselves from the deadly claws of these enemies that call themselves our brother unless they make the law of the land to take charge of every activities happening in Akogah. Nevertheless we should rise up now! And it should be Today!! We should go straight to our brother, our own blood!!! The only Utari son the Arere people never allow a peaceful stay in the throne of Akogah Empire and plead with him to forgive us of all the atrocities we committed against him, and request that he help us retrieve our heritage from the Arere people.

They have battered me, bullied me, and threatened me. They even threw me into their dark room where you cannot even see your own finger for just telling them the truth. As for the Yorinle people, Yes! The Yorinle people must tell us the side they belong because from all available records, we have been emphatically informed that they are the traitors that have sold us to the Arere’s. Now they are still with us. My recommendation is that they must let us know were they belong. They must swear to an oath that they will not reveal our secrete to the Arere’s anymore. They must reach a covenant with us that if they betray us this time their generation will gradually wear away! I thank you my father, Papa Aidienten for giving me the opportunity to tell you how Abdul-karin treated me.

Thank you my daughter Mabel, with your enumeration, a direction has been originated. I hereby appoint Mrs. Alero as the Moderator of this gathering.

Thank you our father. I appreciate everyone present in this meeting. You know as a coordinated people, we don’t talk rowdily. If you have anything to say, just raise your hand and I will appoint you the privilege to speak, please if you start a comment without being called, your speech will be halted and hindered. I have already seen some hands raised up. But let me remind you that your suggestions and comments should be centered on the matter at stake. As I sit down! I want to call on the youth chairman to speak.

I specifically great you papa Aidienten, the Osasetin of Ibokele Clan, I greet my tireless and zealous elders Pa. Osifo, Uwaila, Osaro, and Yemi. I greet other elders who have been pumping strength into us. I greet the wonderful and ever ready youths of this land especially Mabel the most honest of Utari women, the woman of dignity and value, I thank you all for your good work in trying to make the Utari people relevant again. But I weep for my nation as I’m short of word to classify a society made up of intelligent people but does everything without proper planning.

Oh! Akogah, it is in you that the true quality of truth has been flogged to death, while decent buildings were built for hatred, disloyalty, back-biting, idolatry etc. I have toured Akogah territories; I have known so many tricks being implemented by those that force themselves to the seat of leadership in this empire. We the Edunero’s, Ibokele’s and yorinle’s, what do we know best now? What the Arere people have make us know now is acute hunger, they make us sleep on bare floor, why they sleep in cushion bed they make us drink mud water gathered along our road path while they drink pipe-borne water. They send us to the field to labour and produce the food they need, they take over our resources, process it and return back the shaft to us why they take the finely process products for themselves. Utari people! Do you deserve these? Why do they treat us so wickedly?

Do you know my kinsmen that I was once an active tool in the hand of these people? I was so foolish then, so unreasonable and greedy that I succumb so low to greedily allow them to use me to edge my brother away form the seat of headship of Akogah Empire. You will remember that I once told you my elders that our people have be fooled for long and that if we don’t utilize this opportunity available to us right now, we won’t get our inheritance back.

My fathers, I have said it before that they used me as an instrument to vandalize the cabinet of my own brother. Although I latter realize my errors but it was too late. Having realized my mistakes, I pleaded with the elders present here today to please lead me to my brother, my father, the former head of Akogah, Mr. Nickfallow Decki. So that I’ll plead with him to forgive me of all I did to him in the past. I stop so far. Thank you for this great opportunity my fathers.

Hmmm my brother Omene, you spoke so well. Yes! Pa. Uwaila Speak!

My people, what a bright day for us all? A day to make the most exclusive decision in this great Akogah Empire. A time to create a positive milestone in history. This is a memorable occasion for all Utari people. I tell you! It’s because the lion has been incapacitated that goats and sheep are celebrating their get together in its parlour, using the most cherished diamond plate of the lion and even eating in its fine dinning table.

Oh! What a sorrow for the one who takes an action before making decision? Even if the sea gets dry, the memory that sea was once there lingers on.

My people, I am not here to castigate anyone but to join other brain teasers to proffer solution for the problem we the Utari people are facing in this Akogah land. Most of you here still remember how I stopped Abu-Bakr from calling our children wild animals in one of the Elders meeting. You may also remembers that I cut in to second an idea that my sister brought, that instead of bullying our children, we should bring them close to ourselves and let them feel the parental warmness, maybe that will calm their rising temper down which Abdul-karin and his cohorts rejected .

In several forums my people, I have always wished to play the game of love, peace and good spirit of togetherness but it’s like the Arere people are already bent on removing us from existence. We have already learnt that its only fools that goes on to sleep with their roof on fire. To quench this growing trend of hatred and oppression, I suggest we go right away and beg him for forgiveness. Because Omene and some others have being a traitor to him (Nickfallow Decki) all these while. Then make him join us in this fight. I also join others present here to thank you our father Pa. Uwaifo for a very good presentation you’ve just offered.

O.K. Chukwuma, I can see your hand up, Please speak.

I feel honored to be among great men and women of Akogah nation. Mostly the Utari People, as you know, I am from the Ibokele Clan. Utari people have been well established that despite the gift of creation given to us by the Almighty, those Arere, killers of good vision intended to killed our zeal and dampened our eagerness to make this empire one that cannot be compared with. A nation without a rival. But what de we see? A tyrant leader who does not have respect for the lives of the humans around him

Sorry to say that our leader is a carbon copy of a rodent who is neither here nor there and once you are able to see it stationed somewhere, it has already done Havoc to our properties, so visible and crystal clear; we must change this inhuman character being displayed by Abdul-karin and his cronies. And to achieve success herewith, I recommend that we immediately meet with our former head of Akogah and sort his advice.

We thank you so much our brother Chukwuma for that wise talk. Your views are noted. Seeing that no hand is up I wish to hand over the mic to our father Papa Aidienten: the Osasetin of Ibokele clan. A round of applause for our father again.

My children, we have heard you. Thank you all for your patience, we also appreciate your love and cooperation. Infact, we the elders of our people applaud you, we have heard your grievances and pains from the discussion today we have been able to isolate the reason why you, our children are has not been happy with the Arere people. But I assure you there’s a way out. We will make sure these problems are solved without wasting any human blood.

The primary agreement in this meeting is that we should meet our brother, son and clansman, the former head of Akogah Empire Mr. Nickfallow Decki, this resolution is going to be implemented immediately. Other resolutions will be forwarded to our children and brothers abroad to make the necessary move to address them amicably.

Some people among us, including my humble self are going to embark on an unscheduled visit to our son, our brother Nickfallow Decki.
