Allow me to see the king, i have something importance to tell him.

Mr. Man, you are not permitted to go inside. the guard, replied with a thunder voice.

My king! i saw Mr. Okoma taking from the orphanage, shouted to the hearing of the king, even while the king was in a middle of discussion with his castle members, he keeps shouting while the guards asked him to leave.

The king heard of a man shouting at the front door, he now sends words to allow the young man to come inside.

"Good day, my king" he greeted with his head bow,

good day my elders, I have come to report that earlier today, i was in the farm, with my son, weeding the unwanted plant, that wanted to cover our crops.
Not too long my son requested he wants to eat snacks then i had to leave the farm with him, On our way going, we saw Mr. Okoma packing belongings on his Pick up motor, the orphanage' mistresses were all running after him, leaving their footprints on the ground, while he keep on driving.

When i asked one of them, what is going on, he told me that, Mr. Okoma asked the orphanage to vacuate the premises, that the premises belongs to his father's, and as his father's son, he is the rightful owner, that is why he start by packing their belongings away from the premises.

I could not help it when i saw this incident, all the orphans shed tears as no attention were giving to them, by their teachers, since all their teachers ran after Mr. Okoma.

I felt heart broken and i had to come to you, your majesty to do something about it.

Thank you, Bro Joseph for keeping me informed about this wrongful act, for it is really bad of what Okoma has done to the orphanage, "the king's word"

The king asked his secretary to send a later to Mr. Okoma, for him to present himself in two days time.

The two days time was here, Mr. Okoma did present himself to the palace.

The king asked him, "why are you making life to be hard for the orphanage" but he keeps on saying that, the premises, which the orphanage was built belongs to his father, it was taken from his father without his notice, yet the king advice him that he shouldn't have went extra miles in doing what he did.

"I thought you needed compensation from the Village or the government" The King's said.

"No he replied, then why are you doing all this, do you even realize the troubles you cause?

Before night falls, i want you to return what belongs to the orphanage, right away, the king's word.

"I will my king, Mr. Okoma, replied.

And don't you ever go near that orphanage again, do not cause troubles to those people anymore, if you are ever reported to me, going near that premises, i would give you up to the police.

Mr. Okoma has thinking problem, he has lived with this illness for twelve years, at times he hallucinate and he easily forgot himself, he behaves wrongly most at times, so the king and everyone in the town understands him and what he likely do, saying that the premises belongs to his father's is not true, he only have a hard time understanding himself at the moment and what he should do for himself.

His first son, didn't like what is happening to his father, he decided to study teaching and counseling in school so as to be of help one day to his father, and provide remedy to his illness.

He make out good in school with flying colors, he was recognize as the best counsellor in the state, he depict most of his time in counseling his father, due to Mr. Okoma misbehavior he took him to his house in the city, stay with him and counsel him with measures, including the mistakes he uses to do, when he began to perform them, Daniel would watch over him and staying with him help him a lot in knowing how to better counsel him.

Six months has passed, Mr. Okoma completely do away with hallucination and could reasons alike with his son, he gained control of his thinking and could not misbehave anymore.

When his son, Daniel knew he is totally normal, he told him all the wrongful habits he uses to do in the past, how he misbahave and how he claims things that do not belongs to him, including the one which concerned the orphanage, Mr. Okoma could not bear it any longer but to broke in tears, this was one of the reasons, he travels back home, went to the orphanage and offer his apology.
