"What's that for?!" Tade shouted out in pain.

"Guy, you don't know how lucky you are, there was every chance that you would have been the person we will parade instead of the President. Don't you see that?"

"I get it, but it does not warrant you knocking me." Tade said, scratching his head.

"It warrants it. Tade, you are a valuable person in this fight, but you are too reckless. Imagine if there were other cult guys with her and they beat you up? Or if she was not the only naked female in the room and we met you in a compromising position?" Williams eyed Tade, who was uncomfortably trying to check his phone.

"I understand." He finally answered. "I would be careful next time. But that's why I called you.
I know, but all the same be smart about it. Anyway, with this the president has no hiding place, especially as this is not the first case."

"Really? Why don't I know?"
"Because it was not necessary, even up til now. Am just telling you because of this case. And Tade, don't go telling people about this. Let me handle it properly. Believe me, this will end the president's tenure."

It was as Williams foretold. The next day was a parliamentary session and the President had to be present. The session had not reached five minutes when one of the parliamentarians raised a motion to probe the president. Within the twinkle of an eye, it changed to an investigation and with Williams being prepared for it, he brought out the evidence, coupled with witnesses. With the President tongue-tied, it was not long before he was impeached and then paraded as a rapist.

With what happened, the Vice-President took over as the President for the remaining part of the session. With her in power, Williams and co started to hunt down cult guys freely.

A storm was brewing.

"Hmn, hmn, hmn. This kind of thing no fit happen when I dey dia." A young man, probably earlier than his mid-thirties said while relaxing on a soft cushion in Protea Hotels, Ikeja.

"Its not like that. They don get some young and stubborn guys on their side and now the acting president is on their side too." Another voice replied. The cool provided by the Air conditioner made it look like a business meeting but it was nothing like that.

Nothing like that at all.

"So what should I do?" The first voice said. "Why run to me when it was your group that destroyed my group? Besides you have two people capable of dealing with them."

"Dotun and Sunday have no interest in these matters, Kareem. The war with your group was instigated by one of yours, so that's not our fau...."

"Shut up there! Who asked you to speak?" Kareem asked him, who was not the second speaker, who was gutted by the sharp reply.

"I'm sorry about his outburst, he is still naïve compared to Sunday." The second speaker said. "However, there is some truth in what he said. Dotun and Sunday have left the group and are now working in another line of business. Moreover, I met with the other Capones and we decided to work on a united front and we need someone who has done this before."

"Mr President, how does it feel to be stripped of your pride, eh? Must pain a lot for you to be here." Kareem asked yet another individual.

"Ah, you don't have an idea, that's why I promised to drop #2.2 million right now if you chose to do business with us and 1.2 million when you are done." Tijani, the president spoke.

"Hmnn...." Kareem laid his back on the seat and departed to his thoughts as Mayowa, Taiwo and Tijani waited for his reply.

"Fine, I will do this, but it will be because of this Tade of a guy. I have some personal history to share with him."

Made walked to the hostel from Redeemed Christian Church, deep in thought. A lot had changed since that day Tade convinced him to join DSM. He had joined with all glee and had even gone to catch a cult guy at times. But he started to have second thoughts when he had gone with the general student body to catch Wande and her people. The sight of the gun and the sound of gunfire ensured that he quit. Not long after he gave his life to Jesus and became a committed Christian.

Now the only thought he has are to graduate and finish as a good church worker.

If it were that simple.

As he got to Akintola hall, a female hostel also known as Sports Hall, he heard his name.

"Brother Oyemade! What are you doing here?" He turned to see a fair-skinned buxom lady jogging towards him. Despite his height, the lady bent a bit in order to hug him.

"Sister Patricia, how are you doing? Is this your hostel?" She nodded, her long,bangle-like earrings dangled delightfully.
"Am coming from church." He answered her question. "And am going to my hostel."

"Abi you want to see your girlfriend here? She teased. I won't stop you, I just want to see who the babe is."

"Indeed! Which girl did you see with me?" Made asked.

"Ah, don't lie jare. Sister Kike that used to hold your hand every time after service nko? Abi you think I won't notice?"

"Abeg, she is not my girlfriend oh!" Made protested. Kike was a black(charcoal black) lady with generous fat allocated in not too pleasant places in her body, her face was plain, so in conclusion she resembled those fat china ladies in Cartoons. Made, in a bid not to offend her, was not overly reacting to her hand holding but subsequently dodged her everywhere else.

"Ah, there she is!" Patricia exclaimed. "Kike! Kike!! See Brother Oyemade!
"

Kike on seeing him, rushed to greet him, using her full body on him. Made winced not just because of her body weight but because he wanted to avoid her.

"Where are you going, Brother Oyemade?" She said. Made, once carefree, was now uncomfortable.

"I was going to the hostel, I urghhhh!" He turned and vomited on the nearby bush, causing a few stares directed at him.

"Ah, are you alright?" Kike said. Patricia, who had been grinning since, suddenly became serious.

"Made, what's wrong with you?" She asked. Made just raised his clenched fist and stuck out his thumb, signifying that he was well.
"
I just have a little stomach trouble." He said, moving groggy.

"Eyah, go and rest, eh." Kike and Patricia cooed. Kike turned and started walking to Sports hall.

"Let me be on my way to my room. If you visit here, come and check me in my room. Bye,Bye. "

As soon as she left, Made quickly cleaned his mouth and started to walk normally.

"Brother Made! Ah! Because of her abi?" Patricia said,her eyes full of wonder.

"No, I really have stomach trouble." Made defended himself. "I should be going."

As he left, Patricia curled her fingers towards him. "Whether you like it or not, I will date you. Kike is just deceiving herself"

Made got to his room just to meet someone familiar.
Tade.

"Hey guy, long time!" Tade said, walking to greet Made at the entrance of ETF, leaving the other bemused. First Kike, now Tade.

"How far?" Made said with apathy.
"Common, don't do like am a necessary evil." Tade replied, looking offended. With Made not answering, Tade pulled himself away from Made and looked straight into his eyes.

"What happened? Why are you behaving to me like that?"

"Guy, I don't want to see you around again!"
"Why?"
"Nothing."
"You can't just tell me 'nothing'. We have been friends for a while now and suddenly you just quit on me. Tell me what's wrong."

"See, if I tell you, you won't understand, will you?"
"At least tell me, if not for anything for the sake of our friendship."
"Okay, give your life to Christ!"
"Is that what's bothering you? Okay, I have given it to Christ.
"
"Tade, stop lying. You don't become born again that way."
"What's it with you and 'born-againism'? Can't you just leave that alone or is that your way of chasing me away?"
"Tade, you should be more bothered about your eternity than me, since you are the one always playing with fire."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you are the one who is chasing cult members all around."

"Oh,oh, that's the reason why you avoid me, right? Made, I don't believe it. You, that used to follow us previously now turn around and start running scared. And now you come and tell me that I play with fire? Made, you are a joke."

"Let me be a joke but are you serious about your life? Remember the time we went to catch Wande and her girls, what of if the bullets shot hit me or someone else? Did you consider the lives that you put at risk with that move? Are you not afraid for your own life?"

"Forget that one, my life is already sacrificed for this cause, so don't bother."
"Okay, but you should know this: I am always bothered about you and I don't know what my relationship with you will attract to me; its that simple!"
Tade walked away, feeling down. For the first time since he joined DSM, he had a reason to dislike himself joining them. As Made watched him walking away dejected, he could not help asking himself a question.

Was his talk worth it?

Wale drove slowly around Agbaje village, completely held in suspense. It had been 23 years since he last visited here, and the reason for his lack of visit was not far-fetched-- the village was seeped in voodoo and he was not interested in any feud or voodoo trouble. However, he was there because he needed help from the same voodoo he had been running away from.

All because of Tade.

He was not interested in proving any protection for his son, rather his wanted to satisfy his curiosity on where his son will end- dead or alive. His son's stubbornness had hardened his heart towards such stuff and he decided not to treat the boy as his son anymore.

However-- he had an inkling that something great may still out of the boy's stupidity. If he decides to ignore his son, there was always a chance of it haunting him, coupled with the fact that most people won't understand him rejecting his son- even though they understand all other things.

He stopped in front of a thicket and came down, took some fifty steps and then entered into an open space.

"Baba Esu! Baba Esu!!" Wale called out twice as he was told.

Immediately the area changed into a proper shrine, with the time somewhat moving forward to midnight. A short black man with a golden like face coming out of the middle of the space, scaring Wale out of his wits.

"You have come over your son's ordeal." He said, giving an evil grin. "Well I have some revelations for you. But first you must answer my questions and answer correctly- for my answer to your request will be determined by that."

Wale, who was awestruck by the sudden change of the area and time, nodded his head quickly.

"Tell me, why are you coming here now?"

"What do you mean, Baba?"

"Hahaha! He asks me what I mean? You were told to come to the village immediately your first child was born. You refused. When your second child was born, the same message came to you. You refused. When you first son died, you received the message, you refuse. Yet you are here now. Why?"

"But Baba, I don't recall anyone coming to meet me from the village!" Wale protested.

"Ah! You don't recall any of that, even in your dreams."
Wale paused for a while. "Well, I remember someone telling me to follow him after my first son's death, but Baba, that's a dream! How could I have known what was happening? I thought it was still part of the grieving process."

"Omo de shey yin. The black man said. You think all dreams are results of your day's activities? You are really but a kid."

Wale smiled, but his outlook was caustic. "Baba, you won't blame me if you are in my shoes. I ......."

"Stop! The black man roared. Enough of your excuses. A man must live by the consequences of his decision. But that's all about that for now."

"Do you love your son, Wale?" The old man asked

Re: Tade - The Rise Of An Activist. by rapmike(op): 7:55pm On Oct 15, 2015
"Eh? Baba, why ask me that question?" Wale asked.

"You come here asking for the future of a son you hate. Meanwhile, you never bothered about the first son who you claim you loved. Wale, do you love your son?"

Wale was perplexed. "I don't love my son; I know how it sounds but Baba I don't love........"

"Stop lying! Baba looked at his eyes. I will give you another chance. Do you love your son?"

Wale was confused. It was indeed true that he despised how Tade went against his advice, but true to Baba prowess, he did have some concern for his lad. The only difference was that he was shoving it aside.

"Baba, I don't know again. I want to hate him but I can't do it."

"Mo ti so fun yen, you are a small child. Don't you understand the bond called family? If you can't understand it, then you can't hate your son." Wale nodded his head.

"That boy you want to hate is your future. He is the one who will continue your family line and your father's own."

"What do you mean by that, Baba? I am not the only child of my parents. What happened to my siblings?"

"You suddenly care for siblings when you have abandoned them for years. If you want to know, they all died."

"Ah! Baba! What happened?"

"As I said, if you know the bonds of your family, you won't behave the way you did. But let me tell you something. Your great,great-grandfather had a covenant with the great goddess of this land and in return for wealth and success, he must sacrifice all his offspring except one."

"Eh?!" Wale shouted.

"The surviving child will inherit the father's blessing but the cycle will continue and it has reached your turn."

"Jesus!" Wale said. The black man winced in disgust.

Am sorry Baba. "Wale apologised. But what will happen to my son?"

"Hmn, I will now tell you. Your son shall flourish like a flower, and shine like a sun. He shall be successful in life, even rise higher than what most of your ancestors had done, up to a point. What happens after depends on him."

The Baba started to fade away. "Now that I have told you, I have to go. Leave this place and go home."

Wale suddenly found himself in the empty space, awed by his experience.
