"Akinwuji will come back" Balogun said.

"It is a week now, we don't hear any information from him including his armies" King said with painful eye.

"The King everything will be fine" Otun said.

"I think something bad have happen to them" Iyalode said.

"Every thing will be fine" Osi said.

"Something bad will not happened" Otun said.

"But Akinwuji do not use stay long like this"

"May be this one is different" Balogun said.

"All I known is that Akinwuji will be back, he will come back" King said.

"Amen!!! God send Akinwuji and his armies back home, we pray to you" Iyalode said.

"He will be back" Osi said looking at other chiefs with smile on their face.
