“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!”
