THURSDAY

ELDERS FORUM

Due to the total increase in crime rate and insecurity in Nigeria, most especially Lagos. the ELDERS of Lagos held up a meeting trying to find a solution to the situation. Moments into the meeting...

(randomly)

one of the elders: we've no other option in solving this problem than awakening the ebora pry (midnight demon)

another elder: (shocked) But you know how dangerous it is to summon the ebora oru, a demon with such capabilities, it can wipe out a whole country within a blink of an eye. According to our forefathers we are only allowed to summon this demon during a complete star of emergency

the first elder: Exactly!, we are in the state of emergency, we are in a situation where nobody can move freely, day in day out , over a thousand cases of kidnap, manslaughter are being recorded. we are only safe here due to fact that it's a sacred area

The right hand side: I agree, only those who live in estates, secured environment and the elites of the country are a little bit safe, didn't you hear about the owo massacre . Just on a Sunday morning unknown gunmen attacked a Catholic church and killed a lot of people including small kid

A while after the discussion the head of the ELDERS finally made his decision

The head of the elders: we are going to summon the ebora oru

the head of the west: What?! , you know how dangerous a demon like that is, it can wipe out the entire....

The head of the elders: but it's our only option!, the police, the army even the government , non of them can stop the rate of insecurity. But the ebora oru, just in matter of weeks will wipe out the crime rate. The only thing we're going to do is to give the ebora pry sets of instruction not to kill criminals unnecessarily

Everybody realises he's making sense

The head of the south: so where is the ritual going to take place

The head : from what we know demons are attracted to markets, for some weird spiritual reasons . So we're going to use a very big market , Like the one in ajao estate

The head of south: why the one in ajao estate

The head: the estate is one of the most secured places in lagos

The head of south: that means we have to inform every residence of ajao estate

The head: yes, but we must not tell them what the ritual was about

The 2nd head : why ?

The head: Don't you know if people know that the ritual is about summoning a demon that fights crime , don't you think criminals amongst the people will want to sabotage our ritual . So pass on the information to every residence of ajao estate and the neighbouring estate that a ritual will be performed by 11pm on Sunday, every residence isn't expected to be outside once it's 10:30 pm and anybody who comes out will face the wrath of the Gods.
