In a remote village of igbofia were farming is the utmost means of livelihood for the indigenes, located South of present day Cross River State Nigeria lived A Man called OBASI

OBASI was a prudent man who has been steadfast from his childhood days, hardworking, diligent and honest, the small piece of land inherited from his father was all he had to feed and take care of his small household, a peasant farmer who also engages in other odd jobs just to fend for his family and providing their basic needs.

at dawn everyone heads to their farmlands and so will OBASI his wife and only child Nyi, he usually go with them just to help out with some works at the farm, but ensure they don't do extra, he was able to set up a small qioks in the front of his house for his wife to sale petty things for cooking just to support the family.

[At The Farm]

Papa!... Nyi called out,

what is it OBASI replied,

look what I've found in the ground while digging there he pointed to the shallow hole he was making on the ground for the cassava stem,

it was the planting season so they had gone to finish up the cassava planting.

OBASI perplexed and confused, looked carefully at the crystal blue ball in his hands, it looks somehow good to be admired but he can't just make a thing of it,

throw that thing away and finish up digging, he said handing it back to his son,

we should be done in an hour or so, hurry up it's getting late,

Abike please can you hurry up? I have to go and deliver that gallon of oil to mama John,... ooh his wife replied

[At David's room "Nyi's BEST friend"]

[At Ahaji's quarter]

Wha lai ta lie Na the fhrice be that, I go give you one Million for this one kas Kia, the alhaji said, holding the crystal ball up against the sunlight trying to examine the authenticity of it

Nyi stood still for minutes without a word not until David tapped his shoulder, let's go

[OBASI's apartment]

OBASI sat still gazing at the money in his hands, ....this can only be a rare happenings and gift from the gods of our land....he stood up without a word walked to his room and knelt down before his alter, a small desk at the corner of his room, a three top candle holder that never goes out, a lamp, the crucifix, murmuring some prayers

When he came out he told his wife and son the gods has blessed us indeed, early morning tomorrow we will go to the farm and find more of this, the gods never sleeps

Hey stop there OBASI and his son were shocked to see two hefty men approach them with matchet in their arms, their eyes were red, right there OBASI knew there was trouble, one of the men charged towards him, and so did OBASI they both wrestle, while the other chased Nyi who has ran off the farm to go call for help.

When the man saw he couldn't catch with Nyi returned back,

Only for him to find..

Someone attacked us in the farm

Hey!!! She began shouting exclaiming everyone

OBASI's friend rushed out what happened?
My dad pointing towards the farm (panting heavily trying to catch his breath) they both ran shouting for help, soon other men in the village joined them***

Nyi spotted his father from afar lying. Lifeless on the ground...

[Mama Joky narrated the story to the villagers gathered at the palace]

Bound them both into the dungeon for the rest of their lives.....the chief ordered his guards....

Few month later a MINNING company began working on the farmland belonging to Nyi and paid him 10% of every precious stone discovered which was up to the tune of 10 million monthly with gift of cars, a trip abroad, a state of the art residential home and so Nyi and his mom became very wealthy after wards....
