Shadows of the Green - Season 2 - Episode 1

☆☆ ******** 29th of November, 2014.

Akin Badmus, Gori Anikulapo and Adigun
Makun were all sitted in the VC’s office.

“At last, I’m happy we finally ended the life
of that mysterious boy.” Adigun Makun said as he picked a tumbler.

“Before he killed all our children…” The VC added.

“Ah… Kayode! I missed my only daughter. I’m
the Jesus who took away the sins of the
world o… I lose my daughter and my loving
wife! So sad!” He buried his head in his
palms.

“But thank God you have another son now…

And a wife at least…” The VC patted his back.

“He thought he is so powerful that no one
can touch him… But seriously, Jack and Dan
deserve big compensation from the Green.”
Adigun Makun suggested.

“… Let’s deal with that fool’s burial at first…

Then celebration follows…” Akin Badmus cut in.

“I will make sure the school itself is in
charge of his burial, I hate stories that
touch…” The VC said.

“That is true o, Gori. So he won’t just come
back like a thief in the night… Moreso, he is
an akoko boy…. And all these akoko people
are so funny and diabolic.” Akin Badmus
added.

“Is he Akoko or Ilaje?” Adigun Makun asked.

“He is Akoko, I once met with his father.”
Akin Badmus corrected.

“I saw some students protesting his death
this morning.”Adigun Makun poured himself a glass of wine.

” that’s true… The SUG president called me
last evening about the protest.” The VC
scratched his hair. “I think it makes things
easier. Since they saw that guy as their
Messiah, it will be easy to bury him within
the school environment.” The VC explained

“Uhn… What is today kids turning
themselves into? All this 21st century
children ehn? Gori, don’t you remember
when Jimoh, the scholar died?” Gori
Anikulapo and Akin Badmus nodded.

“No protest o… Students of nowadays will not celebrate good people again… ” Adigun Makun shook his head.

“He’s a celebrated yahoo guy now… What did you expect? He’s a philanthropist.” Akin
Badmus added.

The VC land phone rang.

“Let me get that…” The VC stood up and
walked towards the land phone.

“Hello…. How are you my dear friend?… I am
aware of the protest joo… I’m in school
ofcourse… Infact, Akin and Adigun are here…
What!.. I should… Wait!wait! Obbc TV! I will
do that now… Alright… See you later!” He
dropped the receiver and walked past his
friends to switch on the television set, he
picked the remote as he channeled obbc TV.

“What’s going on, Gori?” Akin asked with a puzzled look.

“John called that the protest is being aired
live on obbc TV. He said the children are
saying some trash!” He fumbled with the
remote and at last, he got the channel. They
listened keenly as various students were
being interviewed.

“Gori, what is this happening under your
nose?” Adigun yelled.

“Who is this guy sef,?” Akin pointed to Solo who was being interviewed currently. “He
knew so much about the Green o… Even the
young Green!”

“See this SUG president too… Why should
you allow them carry out such protest…”

“See as these useless journalists are
roaming about”

“I’m going to get them arrested! I mean all
of them! Who gave those bullhead the
permission to air such nonsense under my
nose! Bet with me, all those being
interviewed are expelled already! They are
planning to overthrow me right?” He fumed as he pick the receiver.

“Director of Students Affairs, is that you? Are
you aware of what is going on in the school
environment! OK…OK… I am on my way right
now!” He dropped the receiver. “Let’s go.”

“To where?” They asked in unison.

“Things are getting out of hands, most of
the students know about the Green already.
We need to act fast.”

*****************************************

“Of the greatest Nigeria students!” The SUG president yelled into the microphone.

“Greattt”

“Of the greatest gbogbo!”

“Gbogbo!”

“Of the greatest gbagba!”

“Gbagba!”

“Aluta continua!”

“Victoria asserta!”

“My fellow comrades, we all know we are all
here because of our fallen hero… Goriola
Fatoyinbo… A comrade who fought till
death! Our amiable vice chancellor is here to
speak to us… I hereby welcome to this
podium, our VC, Prof. Gori Anikulapo.” He
stepped aside as the vc and his entourage
stepped on the podium, the students were
murmuring, some were shouting while
some are yelling.

“Greatest Nigeria students!” He hailed as he took the mic.

“Greattt” only few students responded.

“I understand you are all here in memory of one of you… Goriola Fatoyinbo… He was a
good students to both…” A sachet of water landed on the director of students affairs face who was standing beside the VC. There was commotion as the security agents
dispersed into the crowd in search of
whoever did that.

“You don’t have to go violent… ” the VC continued concealing his anger.

“I will go straight to the point, the school authority is ready to shoulder the responsibility of our
fallen hero’s burial. He’s going to have an
academia burial in the Academia cemetery. ”

the students roared, the academia cemetery
is meant for the school’s dead professors,
old students who were gurus and big
people. Gori would be the first students to
be buried in there.

“The school would make sure the culprits
are brought to book.” There was another
uproar. “…and finally, the school is ready to give all his siblings free scholarship to
student any course of their choice.”

Applauses were flying everywhere. He
dropped the mic and stepped down the
podium.

“Lastly, let’s respect the dead! A minute
silent for our fallen hero.”
