            *Somewhere on the island, Lagos*

"Citizens and youths of Lagos state, Nigeria, have made known their popular choice for upcoming gubernatorial election as Chief Dr. Yakoob Ali, a member of the People's Alliance Party , PAP, here are some of the people's comment during the rally today.

    " He's far better and reliable than any other person, especially that devil that calls himself Olatunbosun".

"   One of the many people present at the rally had said. "

  " Many of the youth spoke of chief Olatunbosun George, gubernatorial candidate of the Green Republican Party, GRP, as evil and sinister which we considered politically incorrect."

   " But there is this adage that says ' in a ton of rumour, there will be a pinch of truth in it" .

"So  this got us wondering, if chief Olatunbosun George the same man these people claim he is? Because..."

    "Turn it off". A deep voice said from the corner of the room as a man who could be presumed to be in his late thirties took hold of the remote and turned off the TV which had earlier convene the news.

   " Chief, I would say you don't let their words get to you, this election is yours, it is ours, what this people are doing is just a waste of their time",the man said.

   The huge figure with the deep voice rised from his seat and walked slowly towards the other man who had turned of the TV. It can be seen that there was visible fear on the side of the latter as he tried to stand his ground against the one walking towards him.

   "What was that you said , Ben? Did I hear you say a waste of their time, ehn? The huge man bellowed.

  " Yes sir, they can't... They don't have any effect on you. You're the lord of Lagos and nobody else can contest your position ", Ben said trembling violently.

  The huge man brewed power and terror and the proximity affected Ben the more. Chief , himself is a devil and Ben feared that he might have just gotten on his bad side.
Oh ,remind him to watch his mouth in the time to come.

     "Then,what I want is not a waste of their time but a waste of their lives,or what do you think, Ben?"

    "Of course,chief", Ben said.

   The chief who was almost face to face with Ben snickered,his body shaking as he does so. Ben wondered if he had said something wrong, he'd thought he understood what the Chief asked of him,was it not to gather the Men and attack the venue of the rally?

    "Ben",the chief called or rather ,commanded.

    "Go out there,gather an army,enforce them,send then out to sho the people of Lagos who i am. I am the lord and nobody tries me."

   "Ben!" He commanded as Ben looked up to him as fast as his neck would allow him.

   Afterall,he got what the Chief wanted ,it was as he'd thought earlier.

  "I want you to do the most of this task".

   Oh,that was unexpected.

   "I want you to do the impossible".

    With God .

Chief paused and placed his hands on Ben's arm, moving closer to him. This proximity!!
And in a low,almost eerie voice,

   "Awaken Àgéméegun",he bellowed.

   Now this is sick.

Ben's eyes widened in fear and shock the moment he heard what chief had requested of him,it wasn't what he could do,it wasn't what anyone could do,but he couldn't refuse chief either.

    "Chief but..."

     "No buts, Ben,all I need you to do is plan and I'll make sure to assist in all your execution. Fear nobody. I am the lord".

   "Yes,lord George", Ben said bowing so deep that his head might tough his knee.

He turned on his heel and walked briskly towards the door and the only thing that was heared was the chief guffaws.

At least Ben knew one thing and that was when his presence was no longer required. It was the only thing he knew, not even how long he'll hold his breath,as long as he's in this building,maybe.
