The next market day was just four days ahead. Bale once again bought three wraps of his favorite Moi-Moi and sat  quietly alone under a tree by the road side. His friends had really left him. He watched as people moved up and down the streets leading to the market square, just some few yards away from the new chief's house. He watched as how a woman quickly bent to pick the banana peels that the child she was carrying dropped and then threw them in a basket positioned by the side walk. Gradually, he took time to look around and noticed that the law of sanitation was  gradually becoming the norm of the Olobun community. It wasn't as dirty as it used to be when his father was still in control, he admitted within himself, however he was indifferent about that.

THE LEGEND OF THE TREE BOY (7)



7. AN OLD FARMER


Three days after, Bale and his friends were released to go back home after being forced to perform the necessary community services. They had all became very hungry and dirty. But on getting back home, Bale found out that his parents had packed everything out of home. He saw no one to question, not even any of the domestic maids, they all too were gone. The suspense was becoming unbearable, so he quickly rushed to their animal farm and discovered that there was none of their enormous livestock there anymore. The poultry, the manger, the piggery and the stables were all empty. The place was totally deserted.

THE LEGEND OF THE TREE BOY (5 & 6)




5.       THE SECOND ENCOUNTER

It was barely two weeks after Bale's first encounter with the local police that he had a second one with them again. He and two of his friends had bought some wraps of their favorite Moi-moi (Bean cakes) and sat under a tree by the side of the road that leads to the king's palace to devour them. They ignored the waste basket that was placed by the road side just some feet away as they unwrapped the bean cakes and littered the road with the wraps. But as they were about to leave, three community police officers, which included the first two of Bale's earlier encounter, passed by. One of them said, “Bale Onidoti, can't you and your friends tidy up this place after eating?” Bale turned back and replied, “Tidy up where?” pointing to the ground that had already been covered with dead leaves. “Can't you see that this place is already untidy in the first place? Or do you expect us to clear this whole place up just because we ate a few wraps of Moi-Moi? Even their leaves are small compared to what the trees here have shed. Never! ” And his other friends laughed out loud.

THE LEGEND OF THE TREE BOY (3 & 4)




3.       THE OLD CHIEF

The old chief rained insults upon the two officers that had brought his son before him. They were dumbfounded because they had never bargained for what they had met at the house of the bald, potbellied, old chief with some grayish hair at the beard and side of the temples. More so, according to the norm, gray hair signifies wisdom and good judgment. But that was an utter anomaly! The elderly man hadn't reciprocated their fair judgment and discretion at all. They were supposed to present his son, Bale, or any other accused fellow before only the serving chiefs, as was the tradition of the village  and he knew!
  “So you two, Dada and Ofa?” said the old chief, “You have the guts to arrest my son according to the law of the stupid chief you just had? Is this how you two also want to repay me for my kindness? Or have you forgotten that during my reign that I made you two and so many ungrateful idiots like yourselves what you are today? But I still believe that when the time comes, the people of this land as a whole would come to realize how stupid they were and then they will all clamour back for their old chief, me! The rich and influential chief Onidoti Adugbo, the not so rigid man that gives them freedom to do as they choose!” He beats his hand on his chest boastfully on his chest as he spoke, “then I shall deal with you two and all other ungrateful ones yourselves personally.

THE LEGEND OF THE TREE BOY (Parts 1 & 2)



1.   A NEW CHIEF

 (FIRST PUBLISHED UNDER THE EXQUISITE MORAL CLASSICS)

“Cleanliness should be the responsibility of everybody,” said the new chief of the Olobun village, to those that had gathered to listen to his maiden speech at the village square. “We can no longer allow dirtiness to continue to draw us backward. And henceforth, a severe penalty shall be meted out to anyone who transgresses the law of a proper sanitation and common sense. Ha, Ha! The entire village's water had been turned into a garbage and defecation spots. No longer will that be tolerated!” The chief  concluded.
  It was a pertinent issue worth addressing and everybody present applauded the firm resolution of the new chief. For that said reason, many outsiders had refused to come into the village for any commercial transaction of any kind. And it was causing a setback to the development  of the entire village, whereas the situation in other neighbouring villages was the converse. It had even become a slogan outside the  village that : “if you want to live long, don't ever visit the Olobun village!”

LET'S ASK GOOGLE


The Dictionary hacked



A long time ago when the English dictionary was still pass word protected and only the academic professors and well educated people could log into; some groups of geeks, hackers and academic dropouts came together and decided to liberate the ordinary people and make the English language more user friendly.  At first they hacked into the dictionary and when they discovered that they couldn't make any sense of most of the vocabularies there they decided to change and re-write the rules.


They infected the English dictionary with viruses and soon some words that meant something in the pasts began to take some new meanings, they also coined some new words and distorted some right spellings. Now several years down the line people can't even differentiate between what was in the past and what is today anymore. And soon it began to affect all strata of lives of the unsuspectingly people; even the teachers too are not excluded.
