The Wayo Governor

In the African nation, called Kobokobo Land, is a State known as the Gogoro-nta State. This State in the Kobokobo Nation is ruled by a rogue, known as Governor Oga Kai Kai. Mr. Kai Kai is a home-brewed graduate who really loathed the foreign-educated intellectuals in his Gogoro-nta State. The intellectuals equally hated him, because he did not only view the State’s Federal Fiscal Allocation as his personal fortune, he also viewed the subjects, including the intellectuals, as his own personal slaves. A deeply insecure man, he put three powerful Juju Priests in his Executive Payroll. These Juju Priests did not only fortify him with charms, they divined for him, on regular basis, with prior knowledge about the plans and plots of his imaginary political enemies. Also, he has a gang of armed thugs, who helped him to silence his opponents, either through threats, beatings, or clean killings. When the intellectuals came together and formed an all-inclusive Joro Party, Mr. Oga Kai Kai of Wayo Party, and Mr. Ori Odaa of Ole Party, and Alhaji Aboki Ranka-dede of the Dan-gburu-uba Amalgamated Party ganged up on them. They got the Joro Party disqualified from the Presidential Race of the Kobokobo Nation. In his drive to silence all his foreign-educated political opponents, Governor Oga Kai Kai sent his armed thugs to abduct them in the middle of the night. While they were carrying out his order, the thugs beat up an American couple, Dr. and Mrs. Carter, who were visiting their friend, Dr. Ikenga Nwachukwu and his family. The Juju Priests fingered the six abducted critics of Governor Oga Kai Kai as witches and wizards. The six foreign-educated intellectuals were stripped naked and displayed at the Public Square. According to the Gogoro-nta State custom, the evil witches and wizards were supposed to be tortured to death at the Public Square. While the public were waiting for the State Governor to come to the Square and give an order for their public execution, the BBC reporters showed up. Both the local media and the BBC began to interview the people at the Public Square. Quickly, Dr. and Mrs. Carter spoke up on behalf of all the accused intellectuals. As they spoke, Governor Oga Kai Kai who was watching them, at his palatial home, on his flat-screen television, received their sharp criticisms with rage and resentments. 3
