The story of the thug business is as old as history. It has always remained the same, so we need to be very careful and learn from history. We can tell this story in various ways. The story of a village where the deaf , a one-eye thug wants to inherit the village farms, because the villagers are blind and dumb. You see this big thug has one eye, but deaf, and large family, so he's very bitter to feed his family and extended families. His large family puts him in a good position of strength to terrorise the villagers at will.
I have always been a story teller. Statistics tells you the number of people killed by the thugs, Insurance tells you why they will not honour their promise because those people were killed by the thugs. I happened to know about this. We can always use stories to change the world.
There was a big thug, very strong,with so many wives and children and large extended family but he's poor, and not a good farmer, however he must feed his large family and hosts of distant relatives To ensure that he feeds his large family and extended relatives, he started a thug business so that he can take the village harvest by force. He already has a large family and extended family so it's very easy to start a successful thug business.
We can see that the villagers are already in a weak position to resist because of their disability, though they are good farmers. However to conquer the village he needs interpreters; so he selected the rich people among the villagers so that they can get a small share of the loot. But if they become wiser, he will impose his own choice on the village from among those seeking to join the thug business.
Now, the big thug has got enough money to feed his big army , his large family and extended relatives, so he wants his great, great, great, grand children to inherit the village farms. He will also build bridges, railways to bring in lost relatives now that the village is conquered. Naturally when you become successful in battle you remember home and your lost relatives.
There was a village where the king is deaf. The villagers are blind and dumb. He's got the money and the guns, now the great, great, great grand children must inherit the village farms. We will complete this story soon, it looks interesting. This is my own story. The late great Chinua Achebe said : "If you don't like my story you write your own".
Biko leave me alone, Railway, ECOWAS, Igbo President, etc are some of the innovative products to achieve the goal of the occupation of the village farms. Come everyone, our family is growing there is enough land in the village, the land owners are blind,and dumb and the headmaster is committed to it. In the event that he fails to succeed another big thug will take over, perhaps with more better innovative products.
