And Now
Alaye is now a force to be reckoned with in the region of Omo-Iya in this dispensation, because the people of the town are wise.
When it is said that something is common in a place, it does not mean that it is 100% like that, but what it means is that if the statistics of the place is taken, the greater percentage of the people in the place will possess that attribute.
The land that now accommodates the people of Alaye was said to be barren land, a virgin land millennia back with no inhabitants there, in fact the entire region called Omo-Iya was said to be barren land millennia back.
Formation
There were few people living in Aringbungbun, the center of the world few years after the world became established. Those people were living together in harmony. Men could not form companionship with beasts of the field because their mentality differs from the beasts of the field they are of high intelligence than the beasts of the field.
As the beasts of the field move to one another having rapport with themselves, men also got closer to themselves, having companionship with one another.
The people began to know each other and they were growing. Soon enough they filled up Aringbungbun land.
As the numbers of people began to grow and increase, different opinions about life and living started emerging, because of these divergent opinions, people started leaving Aringbungbun to other virgin lands, establishing themselves there and forming their own colonies and towns there.
About five groups, each one with people of the same ideologies and beliefs left Aringbungbun in sequential order to a far place to go and establish themselves at a new place.
After getting to those places, they named those places after the names on their minds. From these new settlements and Aringbungbun, people kept breaking off to form their own towns and the world continues to grow.
Some newly established people and towns became stronger and powerful than others having been well formed in the styles of leadership and governance. These establishments could not be hidden from other towns, and there are other people who love the growing countries’ styles of leaderships who migrated into the place to settle there. They migrated there in quest for personal peace, establishment and growth.
Some of the countries who were not happy with this will come together and wage war against this growing country. After overcoming them, they will gather together their spoil of war and share them among themselves. Through this, war started, in the world.
Those people held captives were turned to slaves to be working for them, put under serious bonds and watch so that they will not escape custody.
Like this, things continue in the world, slaves continue to rise, and countries started waging war against countries that were about to spring up. Wars were being waged against countries not loyal to the group of countries that have come together in amalgamation.
Question of Leadership
It has been countries rising against emerging country and subduing them until a country among the comity of countries broke off to wage war against others.
This country has for decades been planning this and had implanted people in all those countries, people loyal to them, and those with the same mindset as the leader of the country was.
When the war broke out it was easy for this country to overcome other countries and establish herself as leaders over all.
After settling her headship over all other countries, the leadership of the country put in charge of those countries people whom he could trust, people who will be feeding him back of what is going on in those countries.
This country continued to lead until this leader died and there was war on who shall succeed him. This war was a grave one. The next to the leader could not be conquered and he continued to rule, now with stiffer measures.
The Spread
This development led to the people who cannot withstand this situation to move off to a very far place, walking for about three moons before settling down. They did settle down where they got to thinking that they have left the range of the dictatorial leader. It is like this that people spread to different parts of the world.
The first person who settled down in Alaye was called Laye and his wife Laya. He and his wife traveled for up to 6 moons before deciding to settle in that bare land. Before they got to this land, Laye and Laya had known themselves on the way. When they eventually decided to settle down at the land, they noticed that Laya had taken in. Laya gave birth four moons after settling down in the land. He knew her again and she conceived and gave birth to another child who was a female. This was how they started to increase in number.
One day they saw a warrior who was wandering in the wilderness. They communicated with themselves through signs and they believe this warrior must have been wandering in the wilderness for moons before getting to them. He was contented to be living with them, and they started living together. This warrior married the first female child of Laye.
The first child of this warrior, Iberua, was a female and she was married to Laye’s first child, who was a son. This place started increasing.
Some people later joined those who were tired of where they were living before and some slaves who had escaped prisons and custodies got there to settle down there.
Location
The town Alaye was not far from a river. It was later discovered that the river joined another big river which ends in ocean.
The people of Alaye started increasing in number and they were growing.
Farming, hunting, trading and fishing was their work in Alaye. They did not have a particular religion, each person does what she or he feels is right.
Colonization
Some people were inquisitive in the world and want to know how world looks like, they wished to get to the ends of the world. In seeing that they got to the end of the world, they started travelling through the land or water because those by the water side have developed means of traveling by the water.
It was those who traveled by the water that located Alaye town after weeks of their journey from their starting point. They discovered that people of Alaye were yet doing things alone living like it was centuries back.
When they got to this place they were well accommodated after their interaction with the people, they retired to their land and when they would come back to Alaye they started bringing things to the land of Alaye.
Things brought were introduced to leaders of the land. The leaders of the land love those things introduced to them. To get those things introduced to them they were to give some things back to those people. This was how they started exchanging things, trade by barter started happening.
Later the people bringing in new things started asking them for their children. They began to give their children in exchange for these technologies. It was not long after this that the people of Alaye became slaves to these foreigners.
In association with the technologies flowing into the town of Alaye was religion. Some people of the town of Alaye started embracing this new religion. Soon those who embraced this religion were being taught how to read and write. Then education came into the town of Alaye.
Promised Freedom
Their masters from other countries promised them freedom, but before the freedom could be given they were to institute a world accepted means of governance. The people of Alaye agreed to this and they started working on it.
There were five recognized leaders among them, all those leaders formed groups and had followers. Each group has region where it was strong. These groups were turned to political parties with time and they vied for the position of leaderships in Alaye.
Campaigns And Election
The parties presented candidates to fill the oval seat in the land. The party supporters and their leaders traveled to different parts of Alaye campaigning. After their campaign was the election. The people went and vote for their parties’ candidates during the election. When the election’s results were announced and the candidates the loved in each locality was not announced as winner at the center, troubles broke out at those localities. Killing, maiming and destruction of properties enveloped those localities.
Cyclic Event
After months of disorderliness in those localities, order was restored there by the colonial leaders. After the restoration of orderliness, the desired freedom was given Alaye handing over to the person elected.
The following elections were marked by gross irregularities, which also led to civil unrests. This continued for decades.
Advent of technology
The advent of technology changed the trend of things in Alaye town because so many people in the town are now connected to the social media. Through this people started talking to themselves that the fighting and killings, maiming and destruction of properties should not be heard among them again before, during and after the election. They said those their parents were killing themselves for did not have children in Alaye town and immediately troubles broke out like this, they would have fled the town for another town it is when the tension died down that they will return to Alaye and continue to dominate them.
They said, the naïve, the poor and the middle class people were usually the affected people during such unrests.
These kinds of talk were turned into comedy, play, jingles on radio and television and for the people to be seeing, listening to in the town of Alaye.
Continual Broadcast
Individuals talk to themselves in the open and in the secret of the need to change their disposition to their ancient ways of living of killing and destroying properties because of some political big wigs. Parents talk to their children and the broadcast on the social media did not stop.
This led to change in orientation and disposition of the naïve and the poor to the election in the land.
There was agitation in the land before the election conducted in the land of Alaye about two decades ago, but people have been wiser and there was sharp fall in fighting and destruction of properties before, during and after the election.
When the election results were announced and one of the candidates started inciting his followers on the social media, hoping that what happened in the past would happen, that the people will go out and start destroying and disrupting the activities in the town. The people did not respond to his sayings, he was ignored. This happened because the people were wiser.
And Now
Another general election has just been held in the town of Alaye and it was discovered no one was killed neither any property destroyed. The people of Alaye could now say they have advanced politically. Their electoral process has grown. They have now known that it is a person who is alive who can become something in the future, a dead person cannot become anything.
