HOPE IN ANARCHY BY PROF. KYUKA LILYMJOK - My Reflections

After spending several years in the university to acquire two (2) degrees, Jokulo could not get any decent job. For years he submitted applications for roles, he was certain he was qualified for, but he remained unemployed because most of the vacant positions were for the children of the rich.?

When the government, through the minister of education, introduced a compulsory book policy fee, in the guise to aid free education for all, Ahoka's education came to a complete stop because his father could not afford to pay the 7,000 Rida requested by the school authority. Despite being one of the brightest students in the school, the principal, before sending Ahoka away from the school, said to him, 'I am yet to see why other students should buy books for your bright head to consume'.

When Ahoka's father lost his pregnant wife and job in the army, life got so difficult to the point, he could only afford accommodation under the bridge by Asabeni Lagoon where he became close relations to mosquitoes. He only managed to find a job that provided them food to eat at the expense of his dignity toyed with daily by his rich employers.?

Frustrated with the lies he had been told all his life about how he had a chance to be rich, great, and famous with the opportunities education or a college degree could provide, he began a movement that would change things in his life and ultimately the REPUBLIC.

He never failed to evangelise to the poor, who were obviously in the majority, that the government and the rich people in the republic were responsible for their state of abject poverty. Through his clarion call, he recruited several change agents determined to change the course of their lives through Anarchy.

They acted on their goals by killing the rich people; they killed the mothers, fathers and children of the rich people but freed the servants and recruited those who believed in their course to change the Republic through the anarchy they propagated.

Their Mantra spread through all the regions of the Republic. There was mass belief and following from the east, west, north and south, making the Republic ungovernable for the government and the rich who basked in their wealth while the poor cried.

The drum of anarchy became the anthem sung in all facets of society, where the poor had a major representation. The message of changing society through anarchy was accepted in the slums, under the bridge where the homeless lived, in the schools for poor children, in prisons, and in the church and mosques where the poor clapped for the rich when they made donations and stayed unrecognised.

Nothing could stop this movement. Not the Police, not the army, because the poor lived everywhere.

The Burning question on my mind after reading this Novel which is a big reflection of what happens in most African societies is;?SHOULD WE LET OUR SOCIETY, OUR COUNTRY DECLINE TO THE STATE THAT ONLY ANARCHY CAN TRANSFORM IT?
