IT was a big long awaited competition, the stadium was so decorated that every single equipment in the stadium was shining like the gold and the diamonds in the lovely open sky and there was parts of the stadium that was decorated with arts and crafts which made it to be more unique. The stadium was filled with people from different race of life and one is not mistaken if one may say that it was the greatest competition of all time because of the number of people that came to witness the competition. Both the white and the black, the young and the old were present at the competition and homes were made houses as everybody left their homes for the competition.
On the battle ground, was seven young men but among them was the youngest and the eldest. Tension was on the fans and silence took the state and advantage of the tension and made every where to be calm despite the massive number of the people that came to watch the competition.

THE LONG AWAITING TIME
Warming up was the seven men on battle ground known as field, assuring their selves they were ready and fit for 1000 meters race. Smile was on the faces of competitors ass they were jumping up and down the field. Stretching their necks, legs and other parts of their body. The youngest among them was under rated by his fellow competitors, more especially the eldest among them

THE GUNSHOT
"Here comes the 1000 meters world race. Just the way every race usually starts, the voice shouted, "ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO." The GO sounded with the help of a sound that sounded more like a GUNSHOT and the 1000 meters marathon, race that was awaited finally started. As the journey incipience the oldest among them started topping in the competition by becoming the first in the seven men competition. Though, the rest knowing the challenge involved in the race, did not worry to drag the first position at that point.

Fans of the eldest competitor was full of joy, in air was their flags as the music play, they sang along and dance also. The youngest among the competitors at that point was taking the last position in the seven men race of the world. Even during the running, the commentators was not speaking or commenting about the competition. The reason was to make them focus more on their purpose as the competition was of great purpose and important.
There was a sound that indicated that remaining laps was 300 hundred meters to go. The competition started becoming tough and interest and three men in the seven men competition started struggling for first position while the youngest among them was still occuping the last position in the competition.

DECISION MAKING PROCESS
100 meters away to go and it is an obvious indication that it is the DECISION MAKING PROCESS OF THE COMPETITION. Things changed, the zeal, commitment, dream to be at the top and the hard labour embarked on to win the competition inspired the youngest competitor and from 7th position, he came to 6th position. Smile was on his people's faces. Like trick as easy, like easy as words, from 6th position, he assumed 5th position, 4th position，3rd position and 2nd position and he started hustling, struggling and dragging 1st position with the one that was occuping the position as they were on final lap of the competition that maybe regarded as "the world competition."

JOY FROM FANS
It was an overwhelming tears of joy from the fans of the fans of the youngest competitor as he was neglected and during the starting period of the race, it seemed that he can not make it to such a position and level of struggling the first position with the man that has been on the position since the starting period of the match until then. The stadium became so noisy , the fans of the youngest could not believe their eyes, huge number of them was shedding tears of joy and i over heard a voice that said "keep it up!! keep it up!! maintain the the second position please! keep it up! keep it up!" Surprisingly, the youngest overtake his opponent and assume the first position of the competition. Happiness , joy, shout of victory and immediately, the commentator said " what a wonderful competition, what a surprise world as we finally come to the end of the final lap of the competition that involves seven continents of the world, ASIA, AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, NORTH AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, EUROPE AND ANTARCTICA, and it please my heart to say that AFRICAN CONTINENT has won the the world competition and here by declared the world greatest continent." Immediately, i woke up and behold, it was not just a mere trivial dream but a dream to be actualised. Yes it was not just a dream but more of a prophesy
