I walked into the hall and saw every where looking messed up, I totally knew this would be the outcome for my coming late, for the now I just hated this I know how kids get.... now it would be hard to calm them down and that I know for a fact.
"Beautiful and wonderful children, how are you doing today?" I said trying to get their attention but to no avail, they all ignored me, my PA and assistant were tired and decided to walk up to , immediately they got to where I stood they whispered to me
"Big sister, we have a problem, The coordinator just called us that this event is going to be a live one and they are putting on the camera in five minutes time, no excuses, no African man time!"
"What? Oh my God what do they expect me to do when the kids don't want to listen, am just so confused right now."
"Never knew they were these plenty I never would have accepted coming here, mostly when it has to do with rich kids they are so spoilt, they never listen sometimes.."
"What about bringing some snacks so the kids could take from it, the ones you ordered it's in the car, but the kids are up to 1000 here, how are we going to calm them in five minutes? And I know that those snacks weren't for Lisa were they?" Cotnie asked
"No they aren't" I answered
"But the problem now is that it's only 700 and the kids here surpass 1000, what do were do now?" They asked frustratedly
"Look around can you find our driver?" I asked them
"No, where is he?" They asked looking lust
"I asked him to get me 500 more snacks he would soon be here so move now go get the 700 ask the security men to join you they would, quickly go.." I ordered
"Okay Erica let's go get the snacks" Cotnie said
They left as soon as they did I went to the microphone stand and said, "good evening kids I know you can hear me and I know you are great future definers of tomorrow, please listen to me i know I came late but that was because I got stock in a traffic, you know what a traffic is right?
And then I turned to face them and said please forgive aunty because if you don't forgive her God will never forgive you please... and mum will not be proud of you, in fact an unforgiving child is not his/her mom child, Being your mom's child then you must stay quiet ..... I selected my words
As soon as some heard this they started talking-to the others to stay quiet so they could be their moms child, no one wanted to be abadoned, before I knew it more than half of them has already stayed quiet but some refused to, by now all the goods had been packed in a side of the stage and I said
"for the people who had kept quiet snacks would be distributed to them but those who refuse to keep quiet they would not be given any"
As soon as i uttered these words there was a complete silence In the hall then i signalled my Assistants to distribute the snacks, this was done before another two minutes but with the help of the security men....
After then I signalled the cinematographer to start the live recording and so immediately I checked myself and said
Today children I am here for your sake I traveled from another country just to come here to see you and speak to you about something important, "THE FUTURE"
it is something that has to do with lifetime so you have to guide your future jealously no matter what, you have to be a great child and weaken the enemies"
Immediately a girl raised her hand and said "how do we weaken them?"
I smiled, "that is a very brilliant question my love what is your name?"
"Emerald" she said smiling
"Okay you weaken them by reading your book, avoiding evil things and keeping a deaf ear to whatever they say about you, that is how"
"And so boys and girls living a teenage life isn't easy at all, I have passed through your stage and I know just how hard it is for you because I have been through it before now and I know just how it feels"
I said looking at their faces but unfortunately for me some of the kids weren't listening to me they were sleeping! that got me tired than ever, I looked around helplessly, and then I thought about what would intrigue them like an example of what I was saying something like a STORY, i was quite happy to have found something deserving I said in a very loud voice settle down gentlemen, settle down gentlemen, I am not a storyteller but I have one to tell you, are you ready to listen to it? I asked
"Yes ma," some said and started waking all of them that we asleep to wake up and listen to story and I said good the story I want to tell you about is about the adventure of a great country and an heroine, the title of the storybook is SCARS OF CORRUPTION
'settle down so we could hear' I said
