i as chief Njokem the 7th

pass this as a Law

that you should never kneel infront of me again

if you do,

you have violated my orders

you should get up now.

my son this was not how your father ruled

please do not pass such a law

mother what was the dream about this time?

there is a storm

bent trees were erected

the once that were standing tall shed thier leaves

a brange got broken from the big tall tree at the center of the forest

and fell on the tree that was behind it.

The tree behind had black and poisenouse seeds

Chief

since yesterday

i have seen fear in your eyes

i noticed how deeply worried you were

what troubles you?

i lost my appetite

a storm is coming

and this will cause a change

Chief

are you scared of change?

big trees will shed thier leaves

the ones that were standing tall

will bow

At the time our anssestors settled in this land

they met those who first settled here

and the tribal war took many lives

even when the white men came and graded our roads,

change comes with many challenges

This is how it was

in my father's reign

and his father

and thier forefathers

and I'm not ready

to spill blood

Chief

in my village that is how it is

you are Chief Njokem the 7th

you will roar

like a man

let the approaching storms

rest at your feets

who is he that is not scared of the chief?

Chief

be strong like your late father

the greatest job of a chief is in the mist of a change

in the mist of a change,

you will make decisions you won't like

in those moments, you will be under pressure

that is when you will proof your authority as the chief

if you are scared your people will be in trouble

they will be in trouble

do you want the villagers to hear that thier Chief is scared?

it's in the mist of change

that your capacity

will be measured

Chief

if it will please you

you can place my head on your chest

you look where your eyes please.

let me take away the pressure

stand up and go to your room

okay Chief

go and wait for me

i will come enter you

Kilar

my number one wife in Nkah village

if you know what is good for you

you will leave me alone

i have warned you stop this your madness

i can never get married to you

do you think twisting your face and running your mouth will stop me?

for your information we are getting married next month

Are you a wizard?

If you know what is good for you

Julius

because

each time you sound this way

good things don't happen

these women talks I'm not into it

are widows not also women?

leave this place

with your head like a pumpkin

he is your friend he is your friend

Do you still want to marry a white man?

yes

you know

white men no longer come to our village right?

we only heard that white people came and graded this our road

we have never seen them

how do you know they will come?

they will come

really?

yes they will come

okay

let's assume they will come

If they come how do you know that they will love you?

since you came back from the city

grand ma

Prisca has said that she does not want to see you in her house anymore

grand ma

that she took you like her own daughter

but you passed and her children failed

i tried helping them but the problem was that

you can not help anyone during GCE exams

one person seats per bench

and just 10 of us were in one hall

a dark tall invigilator stood infront of me

i could not even see infront of the class

Prisca has said

she can not leave with you anymore

she said you have grown breast

and two women with breast can not leave under one roof

what i will do is

i will iron your breast tomorrow

Nobody is ironing my breast

i will iron your breast so that

your aunt might accept you

and i will explain to her that

you are not the reason her children failed GCE

no one is ironing my breast

that she may have mercy and take you back

No one is ironing my breast

if you go to school with this breast you will get pregnant

i will not take it
