Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 24

It was very dark, everywhere was silent, the cracks of trees could be heard and the voice of the breeze could be heard. A very big pot was placed at the middle as five elderly women in red and black clothing’s sat surrounding the pot which was bringing out smoke but there was no fire underneath the pot. At one side of the group was a human like goat (having the head of a human but the body of a goat that was tied down), another side has a big vulture that was busy flying over their heads. Another part of the place was a very fine looking young man that was chained to the tree, he was weeping and begging to be released. The meeting was silent until when an old looking woman raised her sepulchre and make the slogan to announce the commencement of the meeting.

“Greetings to the toothless elders that chew without the teeth and eat alligator pepper without feeling its peppery taste” The old leader said to the other women.

“We answer you, the one who sits on the couch that has no legs, who overseas the affairs of men and deal decisively with anyone that crosses our path” The other old woman replied.

“You are all welcome” She replied.

“As you all know that we don’t have much time to waste as we have to return back to our base before 3am in the morningz we have some urgent assignment to do and this is a matter that involves Iya Labake and her daughter-in-Law, Kemisola.” The leader announced to the members.

When she mentioned the case, the other five members started talking and murmuring amongst themselves, what caused the murmuring no one can tell but the leader quickly restore order into the group.

“Silence, everyone, I can’t be sitting here and you would be disrespecting my my presence” The leader cautioned them and immediately there was silence.

“We are going to allow Iya Labake who is also a member of this group to say what the matter really is, you know we can’t just act on a case without being hurt and if anyone hurts any of our member, you all know that I don’t take things like that lightly, hope you all understand. So Iya Labake, it is up to you now, stand up and tell us what is happening, what transpired between you and your daughter-in-law” The leader said to her.

Iya Labake stood up with swag but she had to pretend to be deeply hurt so that her words could draw pity from the members. In the group if your reasons to fight a person is not genuine, they would ask you to make peace but if you can make it look more real and paint the picture in such a way that it really pained you and you were able to draw pity from the other members, trouble would be unleashed on the person that offended the members.

“Greetings to the toothless elders once again” she greeted as she stood up.

“We are listening” They replied.

“The reason why I called this meeting is because of my daughter-in-Law, Kemisola.” She starter shedding crocodile tears and it make the other members to beg her to stop weeping.

“Iya Labake, oti to (it is okay) don’t cry again because we will deal with her severely, just say your part”They pet her and she stopped weeping.

” You all know that when Olamilekan was still struggling, I was the one that stand in gap for him so that you can give him wealth, when he was sick and almost died. I sacrificed my other child to protect him and to give him health. You all remembered how I came her running towards you for help when he was about to be deported from oversea after he was alleged with fraud and you saved me, he was not deported…with countless help that you have rendered for me.”She started by saying all that.

“Yes, we all remember, thanks to eledua (gods)” The leader replied her.

“And sincerely, Olamilekan who was not aware of what I had done for him spiritually takes good care of me, he does not want to see me hurt or cry for any reason. I loved him and could do anything to protect him. All was good between us until when he said he wanted to marry Kemisola, at first I was unhappy but this girl made me have the second thought as she presented herself as a very good and loyal girl. I decided to let her in but members do you know that after the wedding, this girl changed towards me.” She said.

“If I say something in my son’s house, she will say I don’t know how to do it. She started teaching my son against me, she made my son hate me and to the extent that he sent me out of the house. That one is not even my reason of being annoyed but because she beat me up, ahh, I suffered in her hands. She flogged me with cane, slapped me and pushed me out throwing my bags after me” She wept and the members asked her to stop weeping

“You mean your daughter-in-law did all these to you and you were silent for days, huh” The members asked her.
