There Was A Country a short story

Once upon a time, there was a country running a tyrannical government where the lives of the people are not valued "I shouldn't be leaving Ninja animal kingdom now yes because it's too

early," said Oloko the rabbit but was surprised at first where Oloko the little lizard wanted to leave Ninja to. "Where do you intend going to when you know that election is around the corner?" The president of the animal kingdom must be elected and as it stands now not by merit but by crook. Mbori, his friend and personal assistant was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Oloko the little lizard was one of almighty rabbits spies and his thugs, his said rouges tormenting the people and the cities they have been anchoring most killings in the country and helping him execute his opponents as well as carrying or setting ballot boxes on fire during elections which was one of their easiest ways of rigging elections. Biaka a small kingdom was held captive in the battle they had with Ninja animal kingdom. 

"But it has been many years ago long enough to gain back our freedom!" Said Olori the lion. It was little lizard Mbori, Oloko the Rabbit's PA, who came to unravel all that his boss had said. He was bent on blackmailing his boss because he felt he wasn't compensating him well and felt used that was sabotaging him. This time we will give the Ninja people war if they refused us independence and we deserve our freedom now," Olori, the lion cried out. The rabbit has been the president and chief head over this years and our people have been in pains, hunger starvation, tribalism, tribulation. It has been tragic incidents here and there and we have had no peace ever since,"

"Amazingly, the president Oloko, the rabbit has refused to allow Biaka people to rule, Oloko the rabbit ends up deceiving us and the entire people of good and better government at same time. During elections like this, he would position himself well with so many positive talks, with his silly, crazy deceitful manifesto which definitely lasts through the test of time with little money he shares which is not enough to be palliative only to successfully twists people's minds and buys the hearts collaboratively doing this and his escapades with a looted fund, conspiring with those who happened to be some of our saboteur brothers to his side only to win the election and ends up looting money instead of showing pity on the people that elected him," he flamed up. 

It was as if he was ignited, "I refuse this time. Enough is enough! We must have our independence and be our own country, no matter how small our Eastern region is," he barked angrily to some of his supporters group who had bought his idea of freedom. "It seems the gods of Ninja animal kingdom are blind," he spoke abusively. Read also, "the gods are blind" I won't be a part of this time pathetic and political favouritism, apoplectic, greed and wicked type of leadership, chronic liars that's what they are. They can't deceive me this time not anymore.

"Whatsoever I want I get. I want to be the next president, I'm born to lead, forever leader that's what I'm. I'm almighty rabbit ruler over Ninja animal kingdom," said Oloko the rabbit. 

"Hmmmm" Olori, the lion groaned. I'm the king of the animal kingdom. I shall be king forever and I shall take my people, the Biaka people shall be one country possessing our promise land then we the Biaka animal kingdom would always remember that there was a country who once enslaved us, yes! And I will govern my people whom I pledged my life to fight for their freedom and peace shall return to Biaka animal kingdom again," the lion spoke confidently with so much alacrity not bothered of bloodshed, out of his magnanimity he spoke in favour of his people because he felt his people were being deprived of their rights. Giving them peanut out of what rightfully belonged to them.

Suddenly the tiger ran toward them in a faster pace to meet up in their leadership challenges to rattle. Instinctively he turned to position himself well "It won't happen, if you say so, let all the Biaka people leave our region for us. His own problems really had something more to do with tribalism, Olori the lion seemed not to understand the tiger at all. The tiger was always playing selfish in the game of Ninja politics. Such a green snake on a green grass and chameleon lifestyle. In fact, they Odom people at the West never ceased to amaze Biaka the Eastern region and his action really baffled Olori the lion.

There was swift of action the youths and their protest. The head protesters were infuriated with the way everything was going in Ninja animal kingdom. First it was massive massacre of youths who had committed nothing by a certain set out Special Squad to fight against crime in the kingdom but because of insubordination, bribery and corruption and less value to human lives, this Squad began to brutalize innocent youths.

The youths showed their anger through the angry protest which swept away the lives of so many military personnels and Corps. They protest went beyond, now it had to do with freedom. Finally the Biaka were agitating for freedom.

Almighty Oloko the rabbit should step down, he was advised forcefully to resign, but he was giving deaf ears to the voice of the youths. The youths were angry, no job opportunities, employment was war in Ninja animal kingdom. And the youths were suffering and involving themselves in street works just to survive the harsh conditions of the Ninja animal kingdom, country zoo was elaborate and the pain became so intense.

Sadly, the press released new paper lately announcing the demise of almighty Oloko the Rabbit and his culprits burnt alive. Then the declaration of Biaka country.

The implications of bad leadership. Always live to your manifesto and have integrity.
