dream;
They would leave in five days time the same
way they had come.
The day before they were leaving, they went to
visit the local chief to bid him farewell.
Incidentally, it was still the same chief, and he
had grown close to them.
He pleaded with them not to go.
“you have greatly influenced and brought great
progress to my village.
I don’t want you to go”
He pleaded:
After a while he said
“is it because i have not given you any
chieftancy titles?, honestly that is what my
chief and i are working on, within the next two
weeks we shall formalize everything and give
this title”
When kunle and segun came back to agamo
village-now a big town which they could
hardly recognise.
After three days on their journey, they had
finished most of the foodstuff they carried
and they had to release the king’s servant to
go back to iye while they continued on their
way.
They were surprised because as they neared
the entrance gate of the town, well dressed
people with two big horses were waiting for
them.
They brought out every expensive wealthy
robes, wrapped it around them, sundling them
one on top of each horse!
“ha ha leave us alone” they blustered
“we have been waiting for you too since, the
leader of the troupe answered.
“it cannot be us, nobody knew we were
coming. Even if they did, we were nobody
when we were here”
Kunle and segun argued.
The leader spoke
“you are kunle and you segun, both of them
left here seven years ago on divine
instructions, now mission accomplished. You
are back, welcome!”
Then singers and drummers emerged from
nowhere.
They were speechless as they were led around
the town with music and dancing!
The new king of agamo gave them a great
reception with all different kind of food to eat
and drink all day and night.
Adeola was there with him too.
Then they gave kunle a grand title of
“otunba”
As a man who would always remember home
and hopeful of the future!
After the reception, otunba kunle was taken to
a large compound built by adeola, his wife.
“how? How did you manage?”
He asked..
“i manage the money you regularly sent home
for my upkeep.”
“no-no, but i couldn’t and i did not send you
any money—”
He stammered”
“But you did, anytime you gave a generously
towards any good course, i get money here
too, so i never lacked”
Adeola answered.
“so it is a warning for me to continue to give
alms and offerings, to remain generous has
meaning to me oh, lord i am grateful”
He praised God.
His friend segun had a bad case as he was
taken back to his old hut with the walls
cracked and the roof falling down and he was
asked by his people.
“did you ever remember home?, you don’t
believe in generous to anybody;
So as you lay your bed you shall lie on it”
He burst into hot tears.
Later, after some months,
Adeola gave birth to a set of male twins.
Everybody in the community rejoiced with her.
Now, kunle had become the wealthiest man in
the vicinity as he used the remaining money
left with his wife after building the mansion to
buy many cocoa farms.
Later he opened one big cocoa depot where he
sold cocoa to the cocoa industries in the
cities.
He reminisced all what had happened to his
life full of struggles, then he exclaimed
Truly i was homeless but not hopeless of the
future”
Kunle was later crowned the king of agamo
after the former agamo had departed to the
world beyond.
