Nation Of Calumny......a Story In Honour Of a writer by Nobody: 11:33am On Aug 05, 2013 |
The story you are about to read is purely of an independent inspiration but co-dependent on mynds description of a nation and its woes. All credit to him, the story is therefore dedicated to him as well as to redmosquitoe who first made me appreciate the literature section with his African nerd....omo you are the bomb.. Mynd I expect you to correct me where necessary.....I respect your literary control of words till tomorrow. Watch out am starting to update tonight.[size=8pt][/size] |

chapter one Major Raji sat in his office imagining what must have informed the decision of the president to remove him as the chairman of the commitee for the sustenance of democracy and installing himself as the interim chairman, one thing was sure to him, the president has no intention of getting another chairman for the commitee but plans to slowly assume the position permanently. The commitee had been set up by the legislature and was tasked with getting the nations top soldiers who have not embraced democracy to embrace it as well as civilian stakeholders who are supporting the military, notable among the later group is Dr. Menankaya who is also regarded as the nations richest man as well as a friend of the west. The commitee which was empowered by the democracy act, section 3b has an autonomous funding and is not answerable to anybody financially, but the president has the executive power to appoint and dismiss its chairman at will,a committee major raji the vice president is its premier chairman. The VP was deep in his thought to have noticed his phone ring the first time but his attention was called to the phone by his mistress who had entered his office unnoticed to give him his unusual monthly treat when it rang the second time. He strained his eyes to find the answer button and carefreely clicked it,he placed the phone on his ear and moved back his mobile office seat a little bit 'Oh Dr,menankaya' he shouted as a trickle of hot salty sweat ran down his cheeks |

jchime: No comment...that means I don Bleep up....feeling discouragedYou kept people waiting for that thing I read in 60 seconds? You should have described the office, talked about how the temperature (aircondition) made him miss his mistress more. What he thought when he was removed. A lot of things were missing. You are vague and selfish with details |

***************** "Goodevening his excellency" "yeah,Goodevening,how was your day" "Raji forget my day,lets get down to the business at hand" The vice president had been an acquaintance of menankaya right from his days as a lieutenant, when he worked as the personal assistant to the G.O.C managing the 22nd division of the military, he drifted into thought on how he rose from a military lieutenant to a major and worked as the ADC to the former head of state, he has used the advantage of been close to the head of state to leak sensitive information of the head of state to the civilian progressives who wanted a democratic government, he had been promised the office of the VP if they succeed in hoisting out the president but on the condition that he resigns from the military. He had done the assignment diligently divulging information about the head of states financial dealings,private life and most importantly his security detail. They finally succeeded in removing the president when he went for a secret meeting where he went to finalize secret financial dealings with the French government who happens to be his closest allies. On his way back, he the ADC had excused himself from the return flight on the pretext that he was sick, the head of state allowed him to stay back because the doctors gave a pre-arranged medical advice that it was not advisable for his ADC to fly in his present condition because of the high altitude they would be flying. The HOS not knowing he was about to fly to his death boarded the airbus jet nicknamed Sovereign 1, the jet had a mechanical failure when it was about to make its descent,at the odumoju military runway ,crashed and killed everybody onboard. "Raji are you still there"said Dr menankaya bringing him out of his thought "yeah,Doc am here" "what is happening, you kept mute for the past 30secs" "Sorry Mena" he used the short form of his name, "But as things stand we will be having a major setback" "what-what,what happened" "The president have removed me as the chairman of the commitee" On hearing this, menankaya left a little smile escape his lips, boned up and stuttered into the mouth piece " w-w-hat,you know what, let us talk later, I have to straighten up some things immediately" and hung up. |

Re: Nation Of Calumny......a Story In Honour Of a writer by Mynd44: 3:22pm On Aug 06, 2013 |
ADC, GOC,VP...there are acronyms for somethings na. You should first spill out who they mean first. Then in later use(when the readers are used to it), you can shorten it. Personally, I am at loss to what GOC is |

Dr.menankaya an indigene of the afra tribe in the south eastern part of the republic of Ugenia, he was known to be a major financier of coups in secret circles. A man who had risen from a very poor background, his father was a coal worker and managed to rise to the rank of assistant clerk before been compulsorily retired few weeks after he was promoted by the military government, therefore he resorted to using menankaya's five sisters as business, he setted up a brothel where military men who were in charge of the security of the coal mines came to relax their nerves with his five daughters as the foremost prostitutes. Menankaya as such got exposed to a violent life, he lacked love and due upbringing right from his infant years, the mother had died 30minutes after giving birth to him. His elder sisters had always told him the event that led to his mothers death, ; His mother became hemorrhagic after giving birth to him, he bred profusely that the doctors advised his father that she would be needing blood transfusion if they can prevent her from dying, they couldn't get the blood from any member of the family since their blood group did not match, the father was therefore advised to go and buy few pints from the blood bank but been a chronic stingy man rejected the option but instead insisted that Jesus Christ would transfuse his precious blood to her wife miraculously, the woman was abandoned by the doctors due to lack of blood and she bred to her death holding onto her newly born baby. Menankaya managed to complete his secondary education got his school cert and with the connections his father had with his military customers got into the military as a tradesman. He is a naturally social man that within weeks he had developed friendship with both his fellow trainees and his trainers amongst which was the past military head of state a friendship he never knew would establish him in the future. However, he didn't succeed in graduating as a military man, he was dismissed in his 4th trainee course because he was caught masturbating in an abandoned Armored personnel carrier vehicle early in the morning, this was at a time when abstinence was the watchword for every military trainee. He had been a chronic masturbator since his jss3 but had managed to keep himself at check since he was admitted into the six months military training. But that fateful morning he had woken up feeling too Hot, he couldn't bear the urge and had gone to the abandoned Armoured personnel carrier where he could get a little privacy, once he got there, he pulled down his kaki knicker and got down to business. Unluckingly for him, the military engineers had been instructed to remove all abandoned vehicles from the training field that morning. Sergeant ifudu who had come to check the engine of the APC saw a moving figure inside the APC, he decided to check it closely and on opening the back door saw a figure lying down freely inside it and moaning. All pleas from menankaya to him not to report him fell on deaf ears as he dragged him to the disciplinary officer and that saw the end of his stint in the military. |
