Chief Nakedfeet

Guess who was interviewed live on the on-air book club on 92.3 Inspiration fm? Yes, you guessed right? Me. We mainly talked about someone else’s book at first. We later talked about my book for a whole, and I was interviewed.

Anyway, my own main session is this Friday. We will be talking about Antonyms of a Mirage and Atilola Moronfolu. Portions of my book will be read and listeners will call in to ask me questions. Please, tune in by 10.30 am to 11.30 am to listen live.


UPDATE on 04 JULY: Sorry people, I have had to postpone my live Interview with TITI on Inspiration to next Friday, 13 July 2012 for some unavoidable resaons. I had to be doing last minute runs, to find a writer to replace me in the interview. Still tune in this Friday sha, my friend will be talking about her book, The Blessing of Sarah, while I will be conducting mine next week.

I wrote a new article on Chief Nakedfeet. Please, read and click honestly in the opinion poll below. I hereby introduce to you Chief Nakedfeet.

Once upon a time, in a town called Baleria, which was made up of three major three major regions, there lived a man called Mr Nakedfeet. The people of Baleria decided to make Mr Nakedfeet their chief because they felt that since his feet were naked for a long time, and he knew what it meant to walk on hot sand, he would get rid of all the hot sand when he becomes chief.

The actual fact is that Mr Nakedfeet never promised the people of Baleria that he would get rid of all the hot sand, he only told us that his feet were naked for a long time, but the tribesmen of Baleria still assumed this.

Even when the little children of Baleria called Mr Nakedfeet to come and tell them what he would do for them once he becomes chief, Mr Nakedfeet decided to bear his middle name which was wax-filledears. When the children began to agitate, the elders of Baleria told the children ‘Sharrap ya mawut. All you small small shidren of nowadays. What do you know? Can’t you see his feet have been naked for a long time? You want him to still walk on hot sand to come and answer ya kweshons?’ And so the children of Baleria were silenced and forced to watch Mr Nakedfeet become the Chief of the town. After this happened, Mr Nakedfeet acquired thousands of shoes to wear. His feet were no longer naked.

What we did not know was that some people in a particular family from a particular clan were not happy that Mr Nakedfeet’s title had changed from Mr to Chief. They felt they were cheated and a member of their clan should have been made the chief, based on a meeting that some particular elders had some months back. This particular family called themselves The Diabulos.

So out of anger, the Diabulos started pouring fire on the sand the people were walking on. The sand became very hot, so hot that only people whose shoes had special soles could survive the heat. The people of Baleria all begged Chief Nakedfeet to save them from this hot sand because that was what they expected him to do, as the chief of the town.

On several occasions, the people ran to the Town Crier to report to the chief about the events.

Town Crier: Chief Nakedfeet, the people are agitating. The Diabulos have attacked the Kaduna family. They have made the sand there very hot... so hot that people are melting.

Chief Nakedfeet: Go and tell them that I VOW to end the attack of the Diabulos.

Town Crier: (Facing the multitude) People of Baleria, Chief Nakedfeet HAS VOWED to end the attack of the Diabulos.

On another occasion...

Town Crier: Chief Nakedfeet, the people are agitating. The Diabulos have attacked the Kano family. They have made the sand there very hot... so hot that people are melting.

Chief Nakedfeet: Go and tell them that I AM IN SHOCK concerning the atrocities of the Diabulos

Town Crier: (Facing the multitude) People of Baleria, Chief Nakedfeet IS IN SHOCK concerning the atrocities of the Diabulos.

On yet another occasion...

Town Crier: Chief Nakedfeet, the people are agitating. The Diabulos have attacked the Borno family. They have made the sand there very hot... so hot that people are melting.

Chief Nakedfeet: Go and tell them that I CONDEMN the attack of the Diabulos

Town Crier: (Facing the multitude) People of Baleria, Chief Nakedfeet CONDEMNS the attack of the Diabulos.

After these communication incidents, the people started getting tired. Chief Nakedfeet was always either in shock, condemning the attack, or vowing to end it. Yet, the sand kept getting hotter and people kept melting away.

This did not affect Chief Nakedfeet, as his feet were no more naked after he acquired thousands of shoes... shoes quality enough to absorb the heat of the sand

One day, after hundreds of people melted away, Chief Nakedfeet saw their wax remains and started crying. It was then the people of Baleria realised that Chief Nakedfeet had no idea about what to do to cool the hot sand. It was then the elders and children wished they did not make him Chief.

What will happen to the town of Baleria now? As we speak, the sand gets hotter by the day. People melt away, but Chief Nakedfeet cannot do anything about it, as he is still IN SHOCK.
