Uncle Suntou,
As usual, ahjaramah Jeff. The appetizer story resonates with a political nightmare we have at hand. Here, I will try to dig into your story.
First, I want to be harsh on the gatherers at the meeting for not rescuing the chief. It is either cowardice or irresponsibility. They all eventually ended up loosing the treasury chest contents, so they have themselves to blame for the lost of their treasury.
Second, it is hard to fight a wild man with a cutlass. I can’t stand the sharp cuts anyways. I wish the chief had guards in possession of guns, and then it would have been a different story all together. But the wild man or insane goofy ‘Nkoluu” is a pariah of era, selfish, greedy and guilty of ‘terror.’ What happened to the court system any ways? It is a lot of witnesses against him, less some of these gatherers had an interest in the robbery attack. It is very common to have sideliners among the group who normally propagate the danger of the madman at hand.
Third, it was easy for Nkoluu to do the act, knowing the weakness of a man he served for long time and the villagers who were submitting and around the big chief. Still with that cutlass and windfall wealth, Nkoluu have a tendency to live a Hollywood lifestyle oppressing the citizenry with intent to prolong his terror.
Uncle Suntou, remember the following:
“When I despair, I remember that throughout history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers; and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.” Gandhi.
Obviously, a guard-turned terror-man has a tendency to get extreme and arrogant. It is the intoxication from power, wealth, knowledge and other material things. I seek refuge in God from any form of intoxication. Hopefully, any replacement chief will learn to listen to guards who complain about poor salaries.
I congratulate you or the author for a very resonating story.
Note: It is typical of Nigerian movies. Are you fan?
Happy fasting & best regards.
Yero.
