20. His explanation was VAGUE
When Badamosi heard that he had some visitors from Ireti, his home town, he concluded immediately that they must be the usual seeker of financial assistance or job . He decided that this time, he would give them " the rough edge of his tongue". They had come because earlier callers had not reported what he stressed that he was not in the capital city for anyone's sake. He took his time to put his office and workshop in order, determined not to leave in a hurry just because of some stubborn fortune-seekers. He made sure that all his seventy-two workers had signed out before he signalled to his driver. There, in the huge Limousin, he thought of the new multi- million dollar contract for his construction company and how he would get a helicopter from the profit. That would be ultimate solution to the persistent problem of the traffic congestion which he faced in the Kapita Town. The five kilometer distance to his mansion was covered in about two hours. On arrival, his youngest wife informed him that his visitors were Chiefs from Ireti. He felt a repulsion as he imagined that they must have come with a king-size request. As he entered the house, he steeled his mind. However, the three Chiefs disarrayed him with their cheerful smiles. Each met him in the doorway with a bear hug. As soon as the chit-chat ended, they announced that the Ireti rulling council had decided to confer on him the highest traditional title of the land, and that a date has been set for the great event. He was flabbergasted; so they had come with an offer. He immediately accepted. Thereafter, things moved very fast. He contacted all the great names in the country, among them are his state governor, the top politicians in the land and his business associates from far and near. However, he did not even pay a preparatory visit to Ireti. He took everything for granted. The great day came. Hundreds of limousines from far and near streamed into Ireti. As he was not the only awardee, the conferment ceremony began with the others. Each took about fifteen minutes. So before Badamosi's turn, all invited guests had arrived. Just as he was called, some heavily- built youngsters appeared, shouting into the microphone, their leader announced, " Badamosi doesn't deserve this conferment and cannot have the title. A man who has deserted his community for more than thirty years, who did not think it proper to return home to care for his ailing parents before they died, and who has consistently turned deaf ears to the calls of our youths, cannot have the title. Good day, everybody!". With that, the youths continued to appear in hundreds, angry and fierce, wielding all forms of weapons, warning everybody to disappear immediately, otherwise heads would roll, including theirs if the police wanted it so. Within minutes, the whole arena was deserted.
