Since the world got stormed by the invisible beast ever to attack and threatened the existence of humans. In my own kindom, the kingdom of Domo our brave and courageous knights called the distinguish Knights of Domo. It has since started to prepare for the worst battle of their lifetime. The commander of the warriors of Domo, commander Ahmad has been going around the kingdom assuring both the royals and the subjects of their safety in the heavens of Domo, but one thing commander Ahmad reiterates is their lack of weapons and logistics required to stop and liquidate FEBAR who is the invisible and the deadliest beast ever to visit the world of humans. But above all he tries’ to console and ask people to have faith in the knights of Domo. The king, his majesty king Adu has since asked for monetary support from international organisations, banks and NGO’s all around the world, a lot of money is already sent to Domo and a lot more is on the way coming. The able commander Ahmad and his knights are working tirelessly, not only to stop the beast from entering the kingdom but to defeat the enemy of all people regardless of status when it enters the kingdom built by our ancestors. Many nights ago to be precise 17 march, 2020 the unavoidable has happened the enemy of all people had finally entered the safe heavens of Domo. Again commander Ahmad appeared on T.V to announce the presence of the invisible beast and says it enters through the kingdom’s only airport. He also stated that the first victim of the beast is alive and in a good condition receiving treatment at a health facility within the kingdom to be precise at medical research council (MRC) which does not belong to the kingdom of Domo and cannot accommodate many of the residents if the beast continue to terrorize our people. Now back to the issue of the funds sent to Domo from international organisations, NGO’S and banks, in his first prerecorded T.V address his majesty king Ahmad has unveiled that the above mentioned institutions have sent in monies to be used by Domo to fight the enemy. The office of commander Ahmad has pleaded help from all good citizen of Domo to come to their aid and even designated an institution to beg for money from generous citizens of my kingdom and millions of dalasi are already in the coffers somewhere in the kingdom. Again king Ahmad appeared on T.V stations in a prerecorded address to his subjects says, this is a fight that every son and daughter of Domo should participate in but should allow the knights of Domo to take the lead in the war. What left all the good citizens in a state of darkness is that his majesty did not mention anything about a fund to be precise a 500 million fund which should go into the war against the beast. However, he declared a semi lockdown which is a good move but also has it disadvantages one of which is no money is given to the occupants of the slums (the poor) in Domo to buy enough food to stay home which left many of us in limbo. And guess what that king is back to hidings like many of his ministers that disappeared since the enemy entered the kingdom.
Commander Ahmad and his knights are still working tirelessly while the king is no where to be seen and the saddest thing is some of the people of Domo are unappreciative of what the commander and his knights in Armor are doing in hard conditions and lack of weapons and logistics to fight the enemy, out of many questions that lingered in my humble mind is that, do those people pocess the blood of our great ancestors running in their veins. After the beast had registered his first victim he disappears from the public’s eye but still remains in the minds and hearts of the people and there it will be forever. And those who survive the coming of the enemy of all people will narrate the story to the next generation. After ten market days he appeared in the public eye again. But this time he succeeded in sending his second victim to the victim’s maker (God). When the members of the office of the commander of the knights were convening the sorrowful message to the kingdom they made mentioned that the man who lost his life to the beast was not a citizen of our kingdom and was on board the same flight with the first victim of the beast. And again the beast vanishes from public eye for few market days and then made his comeback for the third time, but this time far from TUBABU BANKO the economic and political capital of the kingdom of Domo. He raged his ugly head in TIRAMAKANG TENDA dubbed by many as the rural capital of the kingdom of Domo. Announcing the third come back of the beast members of the office of the commander of the knights of Domo stated that the third victim of the beast was a citizen of the kingdom but not resident of the kingdom and was also in the same flight with the first victim of the beast who is still recovering from the bite of the poisonous thoots of the beast. However, it was made clear that he the third victim is alive and taking medication.
The coming of the invisible beast has caused panic and satire in the entire kingdom of Domo and the people from the slums (the poor)which comprises of eighty to ninety percent of the population are potential victims of the beast, however, even there counterparts including his majesty king Adu and his close aides living lavishly in TUBABU BANKO and other part of the kingdom are also potential victims of the beast. Now you see why I call him the enemy of all people regardless of status? FEBAR has divided my people and created fractions among us and I will state down three prominent fractions and divisions felt and visible in Domo since the arrival of the infamous FEBAR half a month ago. The fractions and divisions are listed below and I shall discuss with you each one of them and their relationship if there is any.
1. Hypocrites in the eyes of the occupants of the slums (the poor).
2. True sons and daughters of the great kingdom of DOMO in the eyes of everyone in the kingdom.
3. Instigators and inciters of panic.
Now let’s start with the first fraction of the people which is hypocrisy in the eyes of the occupants of the slums (the poor). In this class of people lies the king, his enablers, profiteers and looters at the top of the pyramid, and in the middle there you have the folks who would design projects worth arm and leg and if the projects are approved by the offices of both the king and his eyes and ears in the fight against the deadly beast that is commander Ahmad , the funds will never serve its purpose but it will rather be diverted to other things or be save to banks outside the jurisdiction of Domo and will never made it way to the slums. At the bottom of the PYRAMID OF HYPOCRISY you have those that will be around everywhere even at the slums telling everyone to stay in their homes and observe other safety percussion in other to be protected from the enemy of all people, even though they the campaigners are fully aware that it is impossible to keep a poor man and his family at home without going out to earn money for survival which is in daily basis. But the campaigners are busy going around the kingdom advising all and sundry to adhere to the safety tactics and allow the office of commander Ahmad to fight with the beast face to face. A poor eighty five year old granny who live in the slums with her five grandchildren in a small cardboard box like house look at me in my face and said to me and imI quote ” how can me and my grandchildren stay indoors until the beast is defeated that is if it will ever happen without having food to eat or is it that they want us to die of hunger and thirst before the beast reaches us” to be honest that question made me burst into tears as I am an emotional young man who cares about the poor. But in reality neither king Adu nor his close enablers, or the stay at campaigners not even the profiteers and looters care about the cries of the old granny and her fellow poor people, all they care is their pockets and the only language they hear is the language of the dalasi (money). One day as I was on my way to a friend’s house I met a good number of poor folks including farmers in the streets even there was an executive order that people should stay indoors and huge gatherings should be avoided until FEBAR is put to sleep the angry poor farmers were talking loudly over their voices, as I reached them under a mango tree I greeted them and they returned back the greetings to me and one of them who is disable told me and I quote ” my son may you be safe from the beast” to which I said amen and you too as I was about to continue my walk to my friend’s house who live nearby the mango tree, he told me am sure you are aware of the lock down announced by the king last week and I replied with yes sir politely, he shook his head and told me how can we stay indoors with nothing in our stomach? In fact what name will you give to the king, his cronies and the stay at home campaigners? I giggled over the question and five seconds later he said the best way to describe them is they are: HYPOCRITES in the eyes of us (the poor).
The second category of people created by the enemy of all people I call THE TRUE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE GREAT KINGDOM of Domo IN THE EYES OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE KINGDOM. In my own opinion these are the people who considered and care about the plight of everyone residing in the kingdom, they are among the best people to come from us and hold the spirits of our ancestors which is ONE HAND WASH THE OTHER in this trying times for me and my people this category of people I mentioned above are working very hard to put food on the tables of those who cannot afford to buy a bag of rice and yet they are ordered to stay indoors. In recent days organisation and individuals who live in the DIASPORA and made a greater number of this category raised huge amount of money for the occupants of the slums (the poor). These comprises of those who would give food items to the poor with camera men and women to be shown all over the kingdom. It also comprises of those who would help with their right hand while the left hand will be unaware in other words they help in the absence of camera men and camera women.
The third category comprises of INSTIGATORS AND INCITERS OF PANIC. These are people or group of people who are engaged in panic buying, all they do is to spread false information about the beast for reasons best known to them they also indulge in telling people not to believe in the existence of the beast and at some point they succeeded in convincing our people that the beast does not exist. Lastly, these are people or group of people who tell our people that we are immune to the invisible beast.
Now lets discuss the relationship between the above mentioned categories.
All the three categories are either related by birth, blood or decent, but one important relation that exist among them is they are all people of the kingdom of Domo and that unify them.
Few nights before April 2020 the beast appears again and that is his fourth comeback in just one month. As usual members from the office of the prestigious knights of Domo broke the news to us and were quick to add that the victim were not resident in Domo but entered the kingdom with the invisible beast processed in him and was taken to the only hospital that accommodate victims of the beast and that is medical research council (MRC).
Interestingly, the coming of the invisible beast to Domo has stop both corrupt politicians, profiteers and looters flying out of the kingdom with their families when at the expense of the occupants of the slums (the poor) just like they do when they got attached by other beast hence the airport is shutdown. It has also unveil that we are all one people regardless of status, wealth or political affiliation when crisis befall on us but we are quick to become enemies once the crisis is gone, it has also shown us that when the people practice cleanliness as one of the preventive measures to combat the beast we will be saved from the beast and other invisible beast that might attack us in the future.
On April 1st We had received a good news from commander Ahmad and his knights and it is that the first and third victim of the beast has recovered from the wounds they suffered from the beast. This news has renewed our trust, hope and love for the esteemed knights in Armor of my kingdom Domo.
