Our Unity, Our Victory - A Story From Wurastories by Kindoo: 10:37am On Mar 21, 2018
We need to be a unit for political success)

Things had always been apart in the nation of my birth, Venea, no center to hold. People always go their ways, based on countless tribe, innumerable religion groups, over a hundred political party and still counting, classes and belief. We lived under this plague of division and we never knew. People saw reasons to contradict every action based on tribe, religion or any of these things that separated us. Under this division, the people of Venea had always suffer. The political  party that rule had always taken advantage of the disunity and did things in the way they pleased. The poverty state  of the people had ever been explored  by the men in power to get back to power. When the election comes,  they give out and the purse would be filled again, then the people forget their sorrow; a temporal comfort. Reality then will dawn on them when the ones seeking for power got there, they will not even do for the people what was their right, talk less of feeding their lean purses. Everything turns again and again in favour of the men in power, they that rotate  the power in a circular form. 
     The suffering got to the neck,  when it came like this, it knows no party,  tribe,  religion. Every, every, suffered the lack and complain. The hearts pondered 'What shall we do to be safe' One government go, another government come,  the lot of the people remain the same. Isn't it burdensome? Isn't it yokey? Isn't it breaking? A land so rich yet the people were poor. If I tell you of the wealth of Venea,  you will think of me a king before you see me in my hope against hope garment, designed with frustration, hunger and tears. Faith kept the people going.' Life cannot continue like this', so the people planned a war. We must get rid of poverty, they came out with spear and arrow but they could not find it. To the mountain,  to the valley, it could not be found. They tried, on another time to destroy  this frustration, this unhappiness, the joblessness killing our youth,  the plague plaguing our loved ones, which day do we not weep? Which day do we mourn? We lived terror,  we dwelt dread, they could not find them. When it seemed there was no way, we went into the hole, but right in there we burn, this hunger,  this jobless, this destruction, this ignorance, these thing that were wrong with us. We never looked at what we were doing wrong, we were looking out for extended forces who were products of what was wrong with us. Was there anything really wrong,  all that separated us blinded us. The religious, the tribe, the class and more. When one speak against a vice,  we say he or she speaks because he was not of same tribe or religion. The ones called poor were never heard,  they usually gather under trees and shades to air their pain that didn't count, to burn the pain no one feels.
So one day, we came to a realization, what causes our woes? There were so many places we were together, there we suffer most. Though we sing in church, we laugh at work but right on the inside, we mourn our pain. We found that our division based on this thing that count less. Through it, we had chosen incompetent leaders,  we had made wrong decisions, we had kill and destroyed one another. We began to trace our way out of this,  we found out that, our division  was the plague and our togetherness was the key to the way out of this. What works outside unity? I don't know one. Even the body, soul and spirit  must be one, if one must scale the heights. Then we speak the news, togetherness, a unit. That is the way. Some were slow to learn,  some tried to argue,  but majority got the message.
      Election came again,  different party brought their men, many of them were those people who had served at their state levels and they were best described, failures with the opportunity that avail to them and what they did with them.  Same people who had served themselves than the people, who had done things that favour them and put the people last. Every one said, no. We want this young man, who had proved that he worth the place by his tireless service to humanity. More than any other, he had given to the nation. Seeing well at all levels. The political parties tried to play thier tricks and it failed. Money were freely sprayed on the street but the future cannot be bought.  Some of them cried,  wailed,  lied,  jumped, manipulate and more but the people did not care about waiting to watch or hear those who don't have what to say; they are so rooted in life that there words had become empty noise. Every where they went they met same thought. Every where we went,  we spread the gospel, stand firm.  When they ask us,  what of if he failed,  we tell them,  we will recall. So we won.

Hurray!  Hurray!! Hurray!!!

         We won, we had peace, we had light,  we had security,  every life count. Though there were things that happened beyond control but it was  far apart what we had being experiencing, we had good health care system, the youth were given chance to express themselves, we became happy nation and more. He did not fail. Our unity gave us victory and now, we no longer care what you are, when choosing a leader,  we just ensure we choose right.
