Only because of the words of Oranmiyan to Balogun had the rest of the Chiefs and the Elders could not sucessfully hide their mockery as a few of them slightly widened their cheeks for a smile while the rest boldly expanded in a loud sneer.
The words of one of the Elders to him as they slowly walked past him while he remained quiet and his eyes had daggers in them were that he must first acquire the skill of knowing the right time to speak and how to smile because it is only with this can he be able to live even long as the Elders..
But if he is so confident of himself should he come at him when Oranmiyan shall not be there if he shall remain alive to witness his own death as he would bashed his head on the ground and feed his eyes to the birds of the sky were the thought of Balogun as looked more at the Elder with contempt.
