A Future Foretold
OGA; "My three dear servants, I'm going away for awhile but I will not leave you empty handed.
To you Oyinbo-Pepe, because of your problems of snow, tornado and volcanic conditions, I leave you five talents.
To you Chinko, because you are a short man and because of the earthquakes and landslides and since your people are so many, I leave you three talents to do whatever you please.
Lastly, my dear Dudu-Yemi, you have no problems at all. You are physically the strongest, no climatic problems, good soil and favourable weather to grow any crop and your people are not so many. Therefore I leave you with one good talent. I'll be back soon, you guys be good!"
Just One Generation Later.......
OGA; "I'm back, where are you guys?"
OYINBO-PEPE; "Welcome sir, I was in the laboratory sir."
CHINKO; "Hanoi sir, I was in the electronics factory."
DUDU-YEMI; "Daddy-oyoyo, I was in the church."
OGA; "Let's see what you have done with the talents I gave you"
OYINBO-PEPE; "Sir, I was only able to go to the Moon and Jupiter. I was just preparing to go to the Sun. I have discovered how to use just one chicken to create a million in the lab. In fact I just made a featherless one for easy cleaning. I lost one leg but I grew a new one back in the lab. Our only problem is more space to store our excess food and inventions."
OGA; "Well done, you have fulfilled the scriptures. You have done greater things than I. More blessings to you."
CHINKO; "I've built the most powerful submarine in the world and I've use it to conquer the depths of the sea and all its creatures. I've also discovered SONY, TOSHIBA, KAWASAKI AND HONDA-LEGEND. We've improved our family planning methods and cut down on population growth rate. We created new food called RICE, we mass produce it and in fact devised a simple way to eat it,
using sticks."
OGA; "Short man Chinko, I trust you. Too short to climb to the skies, you dived into the sea and conquered it. That's ingenious! I'm impressed."
DUDU-YEMI; "Oga, I dey fear you oh! So I just sidon dey pray since you comot. In fact, I don read all your law inside out and even self up side down. The law say I go pack into the house I did not labour to build. Not me talk am oh, na the law. E talk again say, you are the great provider and that this is my year of miracles. So wetin remain? Therefore, I no spend my
talent at all, I just bury am for ground well-well till you come."
OGA; "Una see me see trouble oh! So as you black outside na so you black inside? In that case, I will take everything you have and give it to Oyinbo-pepe.
From your groundnut pyramids to your Oil palm plantations. All your raw materials and even your women will submit themselves to Oyinbo-pepe. I go take your crude oil underground cause katakata. Na so-so fight onshore and offshore e go be. Now get out into the cold night until you learn."
DUDU-YEMI; "If so, no problem now! I go dey import everything back from Oyinbo-pepe. After all, na business now!"
