CONCLUSION COMING When I returned to this story last month I told myself that if I ever needed to go away again I would end the story. It has come to that folks. I have to admit that I cannot anymore give the consistency writing this story the way I’m doing now requires so I will do the next best thing which is to conclude it and make a composite volume available on the site for sale. The reason I always said the story would never end was that I knew that so long as there was current affairs and Mr Cosmas was still a character there would always be something to tell. But the demands of everyday life plus a genuine desire to do something different have now combined to bring about this decision to put paid to Number 225. On my site I will keep the council of elders alive and create a platform for Mr Cosmas to continue to express his views. So on to the next chapter we move.

CHISCO IN THE COVEN So the EndSars protest happened. People were shot at the Lekki toll gate. The Lagos Governor was caught speaking from both sides of the mouth. President Buhari in a nationwide broadcast effectively told the youths to fvck off. The following day emigration to Canada topped the trending list on social media. Nnamdi Kanu said Buhari was not Jubril of Sudan anymore. Jubril of Sudan had run away. The man in Aso Rock was now Mohammed Yusuf of Niger. Aisha Buhari fled to Dubai. Violent Fulani herdsmen ran amok in forests, farms, and highways across the nation. The Southwest governors and the Benue governor were shouting themselves hoarse. Oyo’s Sunday Igboho rose to national prominence as he took laws into his own hands. Every week something somewhere reminded the youths of the EndSars protest and the hashtag would trend again. A second protest was planned for December 2020 then suddenly the government required everyone to link their phone numbers with their National Identification Numbers within two weeks causing a national scramble for NINs and the protest was forgotten. A second recession was announced. Cryptocurrency was banned to the chagrin of youth enthusiasts. Fleeing Nigeria was now talked about unabashedly on social media. A second wave and mutant variants of the coronavirus popped in different parts of the world. Official figures of infection rate had topped one hundred thousand by the new year in Nigeria. Obituaries from the virus were announced with increased regularity. In Lagos, everyone now knew someone that had contracted the virus or even died of it. The biggest news outside Nigeria was Donald Trump’s failed attempt to hang on to power in an unprecedented turn of events that cast a big slur on the world’s acclaimed model democracy. He left Washington with his tail between his legs. Davido and Wizkid however released new albums. Burna Boy was increasingly being mentioned in the same sentence as those two. The European football Season continued to provide succor. Churches and mosques were back giving hope. Dangote’s naked bottom debuted on social media for which he sued an aggrieved American lover for $30,000 and Elon Musk from nowhere became the richest man on earth. At 225 Katakata Street Eyonyam was still in a coma. “The doctors do not understand,” Mr Zubi explained. It was a hematoma to the brain and surgery to remove it was successful and yet she would not wake up.” “What is hematoma?” Josiah asked? “A collection or clotting of blood outside the blood vessels, all of which have been successfully removed. Curiously, her skull did not fracture.” “There was no need for Sister Esther to fracture the skull to make it easy for them. My girl went straight to the point and reset her brain. Anuofia! Ashawo kobo kobo. Nkita Togo!” Mrs Zubi said. Ndifreke continued to run his business with Irikefe and Castro and his path with Maya’s barely crossed. This surprised Castro and delighted Irikefe. “Come o bros Freke” Castro said. “You mean say you and Maya truly dey ghost each other like this? “It is best,” Ndifreke said. “You pack from house enter toilet for her comfort and yet nothing?” “I did not pack from house to the toilet. I like where I am. Make everybody dey their dey,” Ndifreke said. “Wetin bros wan even use am do?” Irikefe offered. “Abi you no dey see Aunty Lizzy? Any woman half her age fine like dat?” “No be lie” Castro said. “But I know say Bros Freke and Maya na sure thing one day. Make una dey deceive una sef. Bros I lie?” Ndifreke looked away. Clementina continued to turn heads in the compound. “Do you still talk with her?” Elizabeth asked Ndifreke. “Not privately. I stopped after two more meetings.” “You got hard in her presence and realized that any man can be a rapist right?” “I wouldn’t put it quite that way. Maybe we shouldn’t talk about it.” Joseph suspended talk of opening his bar and was pursuing Josephine full time. “I didn’t think I would chase you for three months Hermosa.” “Your sisters made a bet that we would fvck the day we met. I guess my reputation went ahead of me. Unfortunately, they did not know I had just that morning committed to celibacy for the rest of the year.” “Why would anybody do that?” “For different reasons. A man saw me naked and his dick remained flaccid. Do you know what that means? A warrior of a man. My champion!” “That has nothing to do with you. The dick is a complete science genre on its own.” “Well, even though I did not show it, I thought I would die afterward. I wanted him too much. I wanted dick too much. So I decided to go on a dick fast to see if I would survive it and I did. I’m loving it now.” “For how long?” “Till Valentine’s day maybe.” Kingsley stayed by Sister Esther as her pregnancy went along and as she kept police appointments. “You see what you caused? You see what that thing between your legs has done to us? What does she have that I don’t have? Is this one not breast? Is this one not nyash?” Are you the only man in this compound?" "Everybody is equally weak on the inside, just that some present their ruins as new castles and become kings – Simona Panova" Mr Kingsley said. Funbi and Jide Falomo's relationship had developed a layer of ice since she made the party with Iniquity request. "You have become cold hun. Is it because I don't want the party with that thug?" "No. Not at all." "Then what's the matter?" "Nothing. I'm fine." "Okay, can we take this to the next level? I wish to settle down. For real this time." "No. Never." "Why?" "Everyone will say I snatched my friend's husband." "But you didn't. I was crooked. You made me straight." "Great pun, but no." "Would you marry me if we had the party?" Funbi looked up at him and smiled. Achike and Evae nursed their baby by themselves and as Castro suspected, could have another on the way soon. “Tell me bros” Castro said to Ndifreke. “The way Achike dey fvck him wife. Na so e suppose be? Everyday the man dey lock door for this heat! And their pikin never even grow complete hand and legs. Bet me, by next month Evae don get another belle.” Mr Zubi remained influential in the council of Elders. “Gentlemen, following this last situation with Kingsley and the Togo lady, I propose that we become proactive in this council and not just reactive. Not only to come here to talk after the damage has been done – damage that if we are honest we always see coming. What stopped us from calling Kingsley to order when he suddenly sent his woman out and we all knew he was hiding behind bedsheets in the backyard to imetu aka nwanyi Togo? We see everything! We know everything! So why do we pretend to be minding our business and allowing avoidable problems? When we see something crooked and know the potential consequences, we call errant neighbors to question! We lost Awero and four children that way. Now we don’t know if the Togo woman will make it. We could have prevented these mishaps.” Mr Cosmas continued to be the conscience of the compound, providing illumination wherever needed. One day, someone asked “But why does God allow all these bad things to happen? Why would he even bother to create a world where he doesn’t seem to have control? Shebi they said he can do all things? Why can’t he just make all of us holy?” “Ignorant humans ascribe to themselves too much importance. They expect to be spoonfed by the Almighty but that cannot be the case. He gave us free will. We are the masters of our destiny. The Almighty wove into creation self-acting laws which determine everything you see happening depending on the choices we make. It is our responsibility as earthmen to understand the workings of these laws and to adjust ourselves accordingly so as to enjoy the beautiful world he created for us. Unfortunately, most do not know these laws and do not know that happiness and suffering are entirely up to them.“Choose life that ye may live!” “Let me summarize the laws into three for you. One: The law of sowing and reaping. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will reap. The Quran puts it this way – If you do good, you do good to yourselves, likewise, if you do evil you do evil to yourselves. Now, look at yourselves. You know what you are doing and what you are thinking. Do you deserve any better than what you are getting now? Is it the fault of the Almighty that you are so wicked? Remember you have free will! Do good! Choose life! It will come back to you! “The second law is the law of similar species. “Birds of a feather flock together. Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. This is true in all things. Put a large group of people together in a room and in no time you will see them forming little groups according to what they have in common. Carry an indian hemp smoker to a city he has never been to before and within days he will find where to get his thing. Together with the law of sowing and reaping it explains why you were born in the part of the world you were born in and even the family you belong to. You were attracted by this law!. You were attracted here because y’all are the same! It is spiritual. There is no gap in the happening. No mistake. The Almighty and his laws are perfect! “The third law is the law of spiritual gravity. Notice how light you feel when you do good or when you have pure thoughts. Also, notice how heavy you feel when angry, or about to do something bad or nursing impure thoughts. Now the more you stay in the good or bad state determines the weight of your spirit such that at death you either rise up to the luminous heights if you did mainly good or sink to the dark regions if you did mostly bad. The three laws work together to explain why things are the way they are. When you understand this you will see that your problem is not Buhari or your parents or your boyfriend or your wife. Know the laws and adjust yourselves to them and you will see the wonders of God’s creation.” * Chisco arrived at Arochukwu in his quest to free himself from witchcraft following sexual congress with Eyonyam who had earlier rendered him impotent. He went straight to Dibia Okereke from the motor park.

Happy Sunday folks. I'm afraid I'll need to go away for another month. I'm not fortunate enough to be able to sit down to this as much as I want and still be able to survive. But it is a story I enjoy writing and I'm not giving it up. Hopefully there'll still be a few still interested by the time I'm back. To those who are fed up, please accept my apologies. It was nice having you and I do hope it was worth your while while you were here. To those who understand, God bless you. Lemme just put myself together and return. There is still plenty story. Chisco has been to the other world now and returning with the biggest surprise since I started this story. No one can guess what it is! Ndi and Maya...I know many are fed up with this subplot but hey, there's still a story there. Funbi/Iniquity/Jide oh my! Castro has an announcement that rocks the compound. Irikefe is also not standing by. Eyonyam...Is the witch dead? E easy? Plenty tori my people and the return episode is even ready but I chose to hold on to it so that the return will be easy. I go just post gbaa! Life no easy like that my people *sobs* Lemme just go and come back. Thank you. 16 Likes |

Bukolaberry: He was Eyonyam's choice when she decided she wanted a life. It was always a human decision for her. Chisco on the other hand pestered her and the only way she would give in was to punish him with witchcraft As for not perceiving Sister Esther, she couldn't have before she entered the room because she wasn't in the vicinity then. But once she entered the room and off pant it was already too late 5 Likes |

EkopSparoAyara: My man! Chelsea fans will argue it was only a friendly with a raft of changes in the second half including a player that drove from there to a loan move to Fulham. You can't read too much into pre-season. Arsenal are a team to watch mehn. If the Arsenal board backed Arteta like Lampard is being backed, we will be talking of a real renaissance at the Emirates. See ehn, if not for FFP Sheikh Mansour will pay the 700mil for Messi. He'd triple that over the 5 years they intend to sign him. Yes. They are willing to sign a 33 year old for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!! I know folks thought the reconciliation was about Ndi and Maya. Chill out guys. I'm deliberately not making this a Mills and Boon. Love slaps differently in these climes.
