The Recompense

By Osedebamen Oamen

The story opens in a house of worship with a pensive testimony of an Olopa, a pre-colonial law enforcer, empowered to arrest, prosecute and protect lives and properties. It retrospectively detailed ambition, resilience and assistance of others which led to the success of his desire. It revealed the hazards of training, influences and connections required to attain certain personal obligations, including detachment of relationship that paves the way for individual drive for fortune. It leads to regiment work placement, ordering supervision among senior critical stakeholders whose orders are definite and unreviewable. The unforeseen nature of expectation soon revealed itself from personal experiences and evidences of others. The need to take a dreadful route for survival overrides moral and officialdom etiquette in as much as it serves the lacuna of reward expected but not met - this became justifiable as long as it involves others with a supervisory haggle. This stimulates amoral bargain for self sustenance, empowerment to abuse fellow citizens and situations for benefits, inclusiveness of illegitimate networking that are capable of enriching pockets. This motivated bedeviling colleagues, denial, lying, deceitfulness, drunkenness, stealing, betrayal and nourishment of kingdomship capacity in avoidance of transfer. Then amoral efforts cumulated consolidated pride, which detonated recompense for evil, seemingly an equal pay back. It recapitulated self realization in folly, abandonment and irrationality of evil sourced gains.
