OUR MARKET

As Baba Legba and the other market leaders got to The Iya Oloja's house they were amused by what they saw. Baba Legba and the others dusted their shoes as they entered her office. Mama Ogbonna shouted at Stainless asking him how he got there before them. They were supposed to have a meeting with The Iya Oloja and her council members. Elder Silas took his seat in astonishment. Elder Silas tried to talk to Stainless but Stainless hissed and looked the other way. Baba Legba didn't bother about Stainless and his weird behaviour. He began to explain to The Iya Oloja why they requested to have a meeting with her. Baba Legba was tired of Kamoru and his boys. Everyone in Oke-Imosan market were fed up of the harassment and troubles of the agbeeros in the market. Kamoru and his boys had become a torn in their flesh. As Baba Legba was trying to report Kamoru and his boys The Iya Oloja told him to keep his mouth shut. She commanded him to sit down. The Iya Oloja got up and began to role out new rules. She pronounced Stainless as the new market leader. She told Baba Legba that the levy for drivers in the market has increased to double the former amount. She also told Mama Ogbonna that she has also doubled the levy of the market sellers as well and they must also pay Kamoru's boys their daily collection. Mama Ogbonna wishpered to Baba Legba that she warned him about how sneaky and cunning Stainless was. The Iya Oloja commanded that anyone who defaults the law will be kicked out of the market. Elder Silas collapsed as The Iya Oloja finished her statement. Baba Legba didn't understand what was happening. His mouth stayed open for more than five minutes. He couldn't phantom how Stainless could betray them. Stainless couldn't careless about how they felt. He drew closer to Baba Legba and told him that -I'm now the market leader.
