Introduction

In every timelines of life of a great man, there is always an untold adventure of his timelines and a success story on how he conquered his fears and set on the right course of fate.

The king had promised us new infrastructural development of some basic amenities in exchange we give up our farmlands and markets to some foreign investors . In order to better our standard of living; we gave in into ordeal of the government; its been months gone and nothing had been built, we are starving and the cost of living had increased. We need to find a solution to the afflictions that had befallen our land; The king lied and due to his alliance with the government, they have also refused to come to our aid. They were the monsters we made our leaders and now they have decided to hunt us as prey as we may all die of hunger; the odds has changed and no longer in our favor. I am Onomoghen the son of the great warrior; Urata, I can't sit and watch my people drown or shrouded in dismay. At all cost we must reclaim our lands and the people of Ebeni would smile again.
