It was remaining just about five hundred meters for the young Miss Suzie and Uncle Bibi to reach Okunde's south gate. The two relatives put hence into action their plan. They began to walk separately and pretended to be perfect strangers to each other.
The niece Suzie arrived first at the checkpoint. The imperial sentinels were kind to her. She passed the control formalities hitch-free and was authorized to enter the village of Okunde, which she did with a bright smile.
Just a few minutes later Uncle Bibi showed up at the Okunde's south gate as well. He had pushed upward his fedora hat and unlike when he previously reached the north gate of the imperial city Ekule, he wasn't giving any dubious impression at all. He answered without any difficulty the imperial guard's inquiries and like his niece Suzie before him, he was also granted access to Governor Kola II's province of command: Okunde.
