“Simon that’s the money for your land .” Uncle Mark said chuckling, as his boys carrier his briefcase , one of them opened the door for him , he packed his Agbada as he climbed into the car .
“Uncle I don’t want to see you again in this land , if it’s war you want I’ll give you war .” Simon threatened.
“Haha you’re a small boy Simon , even your late father cannot threaten me . Doggy please pick my money for me , this poor fellow who would never be rich in his life and his lineage will beg to get that money back.

” Mark said ,as his driver turned on the ignition on his car , Simon stood his ground staring at his uncle with disdain . Immediately the vehicle drove away , Simon rode his Kawasaki double exhaust motorcycle to his friend’s house ,when Sunny saw him coming down the road , he knew his friend was enraged .
“What is it Simon , this one you’re overheating, your temperature can cook beans .” He teased Simon couldn’t say a word . “Is it Ene ?” He asked , Simon was pacing up and down , his hands planted on his waist .
“Sunny this looking down of my uncle is too much , ehn who does he think his is ? So because he belongs to Ogboni he wants to oppress everyone with his devilish money , if Agada will sit like a woman and allow all our father’s lands to be taken by that fool I will not!” Simon swore.
“Sit down my friend .” Sunny said chuckling. “The Bible says the kingdom of God suffereth violence only the violent can take it by force .” Sunny quoted from the scriptures .
“Which one is that one again ?” Simon asked . “When did you start going to church?” Simmon asked his friend .

“That one is not important , what is important is that you get your land and all the lands he has stolen from you , it won’t cost you much , you know what to do .” Sunny said .
“Aaar I cannot kill oh !” Simon said , Sunny covered his mouth .
“Simon you want to let the whole world hear ? you ! must be mad!” He said .
“I’ve not killed anyone I cannot o, I don’t want blood on my hand .” Simon said .
“So leave my compound Na , go and cry to Ene maybe she’ll give you breast milk to suck .” Sunny said and folded his arms behind his head , he relaxed on the chair .

“I can’t I’ll find another way .”Simon said before he climbed on his motorcycle and rode home.
Two weeks later Mark his uncle had brought men from Abuja to dig foundation , they dug even beyond the spot where Simon had warned his uncle to stay off , when he went to his uncle’s house , the security men at the gate wouldn’t let him go in .
So he went back home , he was restless , all night he couldn’t sleep , during the day he couldn’t rest .
“Simon what’s eating you up ?” His young wife asked ,he ignored her , land dispute wasn’t what a man should discuss with his wife , when he couldn’t hold it anymore. he went to Sunny who was over happy to take him to his Juju , who prepared a concoction and asked them to bury it in the plot of land , that he gave the man seven days , of he didn’t leave the land , he would die.
Simon and Sunny went to the land by two A.M when the village was sleeping and buried the charm in the middle of the property, on the seventh day , a loud cry from the house of his uncle announced the fall of the mighty rock .

From that day on he and Sunny became associates of darkness ,each day his heart got darker , the juju left a small percentage of evil in his heart , he wished he had never followed his friend to the great man’s house.
He wished his brother Agada had lived up to his expectations as first son to fight for their father’s property, if wishes were horses , he would have rode it to yesterday and corrected all the mistakes he had done .
They arrived at Agadagba in the evening , it was another battle to get Simon out of the vehicle, he cried like a woman in labour , they brought him down , another battle to get him to his room , that had been dressed and made ready for his arrival.
“Please…Ene help me go …and call the Reverend …father call all my… children I want …to talk to them , they should all be here tomorrow…morning.”
he said as he winched in pain , each word felt like a dagger stabbing his lungs , he was happy to be home .
