Please How is my Yoruba going? Just want to know.

you are making sense with it bros.. .


Some Yoruba peeps out there, can't even write a sentence in their local dialect

Keep trying thou

It was a Tuesday morning when Tade encountered them. It was a small gathering, consisting of ignorant but learning students on one hand and three older students on the other hand. One of the older students was addressing the gathering while two others were distributing leaflets.

"This high level of wickedness, currently displayed by this nefarious agents of death, are the symptoms of a decaying system. We stand here, in front of our Student Union Building(S.U.B), but are we safe, even in front of here? Are we?"

When no one answered, Tade walked into the gathering and stayed at the middle, obviously interested in the conversation.

"No! We are not safe, we cannot be safe when our "president" parties with cult leaders, when our executives obtain and maintain their positions through the hands of these cultists. No, we are not safe, when our security is left in the hands of veterans of the Ife-Modakeke war. We are not safe when some of our lecturers and members of the university management sponsor these elements in their acts of terror. No! We are not safe and we cannot be safe under these circumstances!"

Everyone in the group shouted their approval, including Tade. Some whistled, some clapped but the noise was high enough to attract passers-by, swelling the gathering into a crowd. At this point some other guys, presumably from the speaker's group came around.

So what can we do? One of the naïve students asked.

The only way we can be safe is when we all decide to take this battle to these agents of chaos and chase them out completely. When we as students decide that our lives and their core decisions are not the responsibility of our parents or lecturers or the management, but its our collective responsibility. When we all as students decide not to rely on the lies of these "politicians", he pointed to the General Secretary of the Union, who was just unfortunate to pass by at that moment, but on the truths told by ourselves to ourselves. When all these are present,that's when we can be safe and free. Make no mistake about it; evil will never disappear quietly.

At this point some students had started to leave, as five cultists had suddenly appeared on the scene. Tade wanted to run, but stopped himself from moving. Something was welling up in his stomach and for the first time since he came into the school, he felt bold.

The cultists simply passed the crowd, even slightly surprised at the behavior of the crowd. The speaker, who had stopped his speech but had not moved from where he was, continued.

"I know we are all afraid. We are afraid of our very lives and what will become of us. We are afraid of our parents efforts going to waste. We fear for our siblings and our loved ones."

"Yet, if we do nothing out of fear, nothing will change and that's a universal law, the law of inertia. We have to start a move....."

"But we are too small." Another student countered.

"We are never too small to start. Remember that Nelson Mandela was one man and his fight against apartheid changed the whole of South Africa. The likes of Awolowo, Azikwe and Bello pushed for the independence of this nation and now we are independent. We can as well start from here. I leave you with the words of John. F. Kennedy who said: Don't think of what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."

The gathering dispersed, leaving Tade with a leaflet and a decision to make.

Welcome back rapmike, the update was educating...looking forward to more...thanks.

Hope to hit two updates before the cock crows tomorrow.

Welcome back bro. And thanks for the update. I see a big war btw good nd evil. Honestly i pray that Tade lives to fight this to d end cos it's like putting ur head in d mouth of d python.
Nice update nd thanks for d mention.

Later he discussed what happened with his roommates.

"See, its not possible. Shittu pouted out. Its hard enough trying to stop this with hard proof. Why do you think that some bravado will have any effect?" He sat up and faced Tade squarely.

"That's what cowards say." Made replied. "I believe in change, especially that kind of change. Its gonna to be hard, but it will be worth it. Cultists are human beings afterall."

"Made, you only have mouth, you don't have the liver to back it up." Shittu had a go at him. "Am sure if cult members walk in, you will be the first to run out."

"Who stood his groun when cultists came that night?" Made shot back, referring to the night of the attack on the Ravens. "Didn't you hide yourself while I stood my ground?"

"You were only caught because you had no where to hide." Shittu replied, snickering at Made.
Tade ignored his roommates and walked out.


*************

Wale had just finished a night duty at the hospital when he arrived and met no one in his house. Once again, all the effects he disliked were present: silent house, unkempt bedroom, cold food and a feel of disappointment.
He entered the bedroom, opened the wardrobe and almost had to flee from the army of clothes that came crashing on him. For a second he was amused before anger got the better of him. Why was Nifemi like this? Can't she, for once improve on this her lack of organization?
He kept pondering on those thoughts as he went from one corner of the room to the other, finding more evidence of disorganized life. Each time he looked at it, he was reminded of Clara and how she was when she lived there. He started to realize that he had treated her badly and that Nifemi was not near her in quality.

"Eh? What is this am seeing?" Wale's eyes bulged as he saw what he did not expect.

"Nifemi!"

Welcome back rapmike, glad you have a new phone. More wisdom to you, kudos.

Nifemi, who had just entered into the house, rushed into the room. What's happening? Who died? She asked Wale.
Wale looked at her and for once saw a monster staring back at him.
"Who owns this?" He picked a condom from the top of his bedside. The condom, which was half-way filled with 'you-know-what' and strains were disgustingly hovering around the condom.
Nifemi knew from the second that Wale saw that condom, that it was all over. She wondered why Shope, her kinky bestie, cannot get her act together after a one-night stand.

"Wale, its not........"

"Its not what I think, eh?" Wale started, laughing out hysterically. "So I am now a child, as well as an incompetent person in bed?"

"Wale, listen to me, please." Nifemi's eyes were going misty as she landed on the floor with her knees.

"Nifemi! Nifemi!! I have bore all your inadequacies gamely, but this is where it ends. Fornication? Oh my God! We are not even married yet, what about when we marry? Is this what will happen as well?"

"Wale, please, just give........"

"Get out!" Wale stood up, Sango-like anger running through his veins. "Pack your stuff and leave now!"

Nifemi suddenly stood up like a robot and started to pack her things. Shoes, clothes and make-up sets were hastily arranged into bags, with Wale's ranting running on the background. Within ten minutes, she was done and started to move. As she got to the door,someone entered.

"Nifemi, please don't be ......."

Pa! A slap ended whatever was coming out of her mouth.

Finally,thank God.

"Nifemi! What's wrong with you?" Shope asked as Nifemi stormed past her and dropped her baggage in her car. Wale, who had followed her in anger, was now bemused at her action and also curious about who was the stranger.

Nifemi turned around and faced Shope. "Why must you ruin every good thing in my life, eh Shope? You came between me and Dayo, me and Haruna and now between me and him." She pointed to Wale. "Is this how you repay me for being a good friend? I invite you to stay the night here over you 'complaint' of armed robbery in your house and you could not last 12 hours before bringing a man to my man's house? Now that am moving out, are you happy? Why you? Why?!"

Shope kept looking stunned as Wale began to understand what was exactly going on. Nifemi on the other hand was in her car and was about starting her car when she came out of the car and advanced towards Shope, who moved back defensively.

"Even if you can't keep your legs shut for a night, can't you just at least clean up after your sexual fantasies have been fulfilled?"

"Nifemi, please be patient." Shope started her defence, "I woke up late and rushed out of the house that's why its like that. I planned to clean up before you come back but I was held back at the bank, you know how it......."

Paw! A second slap for the day for Shope and Nifemi was not done.

"Listen to yourself! How won't you wake up late when you can't keep you legs shut, eh? Shope, I don't want to see you again in my life! And I mean it this time!" Nifemi shook her hands for effect as she walked back to her car, clearly spent of her energy.

"Nifemi, wait." Wale called out softly, pained at his fault accusation. His voice was so thin that Shope, who was nearer heard nothing. As Nifemi drove away, he turned to Shope.

"Miss, what do you want?"


************
Tade went about the week with no incident of note. In fact, it was like Tuesday never happened. Classes went on as usual, and the atmosphere was peaceful. However, all peace was shattered on Monday morning.

It started with two students in their room engaging themselves in some argument over soccer. It was not long before they started to fight and then someone inserted a kitchen knife in another person's chest.

Students who had seen what happened, rushed out to help the injured student, while a few bold ones apprehended the offender and started to 'discipline' him with what was called 'Maximum Shishi', a system whereby random students come out and beat the offender.

Within thirty minutes they were done and the offender was left alone while the injured was in the ICU of the university teaching hospital. Unfortunately things are not always as they seem.

That's what happen when the "alale" of a town is always on the run



I felt for that injured student thou
Bros keep em coming

About thirty minutes later, the offender returned to the hostel, only that he had five other guys accompanying him. As they entered the hostel, they headed straight for Fikayo, who was the hall chairman.

Fikayo, who was about 6ft tall with an almost rectangular face and black eyes, was just coming from the bathroom when those after him caught up with him.

"Hey you! Stop there!" They barked at him. Fikayo ignored them and entered his room.

"Isn't it you that am talking to?" One of them, a 5ft plus fellow with broad chest and toned biceps challenged him. Fikayo in contrast, was quite slim and looked vulnerable to physical attacks.

Fikayo entered in and instantly locked the door, infuriating the following pack. Their leader, a 4ft plus fellow with a slightly burnt face and a white right eye, ran towards the door and started to bang it.

"Open the door if they born you well!" He shouted, stunning other occupants of the room. The others soon joined in the banging.

Meanwhile, Fikayo had started making some calls, possibly calling for some assistance. As the door shape-shifted to the pressure of the attackers, his roommates dodged under bunk.

Tade, oblivious of what was happening entered the hostel, just to hear sounds of broken bottles. As expected, he attempted to flee, only to collide with Colloid, the leader of the Red Scorpions.

"You be one of them?" Colloid asked. Tade vigorously shook his head before pointing to the hall. Colloid was not convinced and dragged Tade alongside them.

On getting to Fikayo's room, the other group had engaged Fikayo and had beaten him to a pulp, stripping him naked. As they attempted to 'parade' him, Colloid blocked them.

"Who una think una be?" He asked. As the Leader of the other group looked at him derisively, Colloid blinded him with a slap.

The sound of that slap resonated so badly in the hall that the window panes shook. Tade, who was at the back, had his heart in his mouth, utterly scared to shreds.

"Yee!" The other shouted as they rushed towards Colloid. Colloid was almost 8ft and was too imposing to take down that easily, so a serious fight ensued as they attempted dragging Colloid to the ground. The other members who were watching from a distance, now joined and overwhelmed the other group.

As the other group got overwhelmed, two of them attempted to escape, but were caught. One of them was able to pull out a pistol he smuggled in and with some inaccuracy fired it.

The bullet somewhat missed all the rubble and hit Tade on the stomach.

Waow! Welcome back. I have missed you

Tade!! !!!
Got hit!!! !!



I'm confident, he will survive that shaa




Keep em coming boss

The commotion suddenly increased, as those who came to attack the hall chairman fled the scene using the chance of the surprise attack. Fikayo, with two other guys went to attack to Tade, who had passed out while the rest chased after the attackers. In truth, Tade's passing out was more due to fear and shock than the effect of the bullet, as the bullet had hit his stomach and passed clear.

However, he was out for two days, within which the news of the attack become public knowledge and the offenders suspended until further notice. In fact it was such news that the two tests that Tade had that week were postponed.

As soon as he woke up, some members of Democratic Socialist Movement (D.S.M) came to visit him. Among them included the speaker of the other time.

That visit changed everything.

When Tade returned to the room, he walked to Made and said

"Let's talk....."

******************

Dotun checked his watch. It was six pm, and in five minutes time the National Chairman of PPP will arrive at the exact spot where he wanted him. He was supposed to assassinate this man and usually this was a cheap, routine mission.

Only that this man was so elusive that it was giving him headaches. Apart from the regular platoon of guards and 'African' protection, he had bullet proof cars, secret entrances and exits to and fro his house, private agents and some powerful security gadgets. Adding his ever active and alert mind and you have a nut case. Dotun had to cut Sunday's break short and ask him in this assignment. He had Sunday scanning the area for possible agents protecting him and was expecting a feedback soon.

Something was about to get down

Still impressed. But I hope u tell it to d end this time,

Bro,U Try,although I joined d Train lately but I don play catch Up,U are good,U just gat a new follower,keep it up Bro

His com suddenly came alive. "I have five guards all standing at cardinal points relative to the chairman." Sunday spoke. "I can take out the five, but the area is too open and the........"

"Sunday, we are sticking to our initial plan." Dotun interrupted. "I will fire at him, if I fail, you fire immediately. You got it?"

"Ok boss." Sunday answered, ending all argument.

The Chairman, oblivious of what was happening but acutely alert, could sense danger, so instead of moving forward he entered into a factory building.

"Damn!" Dotun cursed a bit aloud. He looked around and saw the five guards standing normally like they were unperturbed.

All of a sudden, they started to run into the building frantically, surprising Dotun. He took out two of them and injured a third.

"Sunday, are you seeing anything?" Dotun called out to his partner, but no answer was heard, only gun shots. Dotun, who is naturally not alarmed at incidents, was never the less a bit confused and bothered. He wondered what Sunday would have done.

"Sunday, Sunday! How far?" He kept speaking to a com that was not replying anything for like five minutes. He then heard something like a bone crack from the com.

"Chairman is dead, sir. Mission accomplished." Sunday answered back through the com.

*****a******

"What?! You are joining DSM? Tade, you really want to die."

Made's looked at him suspiciously, wondering if Tade was normally at all. Maybe the effect of that bullet is still evident.

"Made, you look pale,what's up?" Shittu said from his bed. Korede, who had moved in since Chuks died also sat up.

"Tade has joined DSM!"

"Oh My God! Why in the name of Lot will you join DSM?"

"Lot? Like seriously, Korede, when will you take something serious?" Tade asked with a questioning look.

"But seriously, Tade, its risky. Don't you know that joining such group makes you a target for school cult groups? You just came back from death,so to speak and you want to dive into it again?"

Tade looked around, from Made to Shittu to Korede.

"I am joining them because they are the channel in which I can achieve my dream on this campus, the dream I had while in coma."

"What dream?" The other three asked.

Now, let the real deal begin



Oga Mike, bring it on

Go Tade !! Go Tade !! Go.

Sorry for the absence of updates. MTN network has been bad here. Will resume service soon.

"My dream is simple; to see the end of cults and their members on this campus."

Made looked at him squarely, certainly interested at his comment, Korede was disbelieving while Shittu looked indifferent.

"How do you want to go about it?" Made asked. Tade then used two hours explaining and rephrasing his dream to their ears. After he was done with them, none of them thought he was in his right senses.

"Are you thinking straight? You have spent too much time with those loafers!" Shittu declared, obviously not impressed. Korede had already stood up and started to walk away. It was only Made who was on Tade's side.

"Guys, no think am like that na!" He said, facing Shittu. "Let's give it a try, at least every great move started with a someone trying and succeeding. Tade has something substantial here."

"Shittu, you still dey listen to them?" Korede asked, obviously disappointed that Shittu had not dropped them. "Am off to class."

Shittu faced Tade. "See, I don't know what happened to you in the hospital that has led to this, but I can't be part of it. I love my life and even though you are my friend,I can't go risking it over this. See how Chuks ended, is that how you want to go?" Tade kept quiet, listening to him attentively. Made on the other hand, was agitated.

"I can't risk that and do that to my parents, that's the truth. Your dream, as you called it sounds so rosy, yet we both know life is not like that. So am out."

"Shittu, can I explain why am doing this? Am doing it because its the only way for me. If you think you are safe this way, then you are on a long thing. Safety is only guaranteed when they are completely off this campus. As for death, I almost died recently even though I was avoiding it. Has anything changed? But I can change things if my dream comes true. That's why I joined."

Shittu walked towards the door smiling at Tade.

"I wish you well." He said.

Tade was not deterred,rather he was encouraged by Made's acceptance. So he and Made started to attend DSM meetings and campaigns, often watching from the sides as he watched past and present leaders spoke with venom and conviction.


Shittu and Korede were still apathetic towards Tade's new focus, especially as things had slowed down at that level. Soon enough, second semester examinations were upon them.

It was then things lit up again.

Shittu who was writing CHM 309 examinations, had gone half way through the paper when two bearded fellows walked into the hall, textbooks hanging from their hands.

"Stop there! Where do you think you are going?" A female supervisor spoke, shifting the attention of students to them. The two fellows were unperturbed and went ahead to sit down at the back of the hall.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Stand up from there!" The other supervisors were now alert and moved to dissuade her, with a lot of fail. The two fellows kept ignoring her, one of them started to bully a student.

"Did you hear......." The rest was buried with a thunderous slap that set everyone on red alert.

Rapmike, it's Jigsawkillah! I wouldn't have noticed your return if not for me coming across someone named Tade.


Please continue.

Ghen Ghen Ghen Ghennn!! Nice update rapmike. I see Tade's exploit with d DSM surpassing dat of his late bro, Andrew.

Orluuchi, I see you. You are recognized.

Tade isn't wise, opposition to cultists often don't end well. Kudos rapmike, more wisdom to you.
