It was a beautiful day
and a big day of celebration after more than 100 years of colonialism, legal
battles, struggles for Uhuru (Freedom),
fights, unrest, calls for independence, international supports and
reinforcement from other animal kingdoms, the monkeys from different tribes
eventually got their independence. It was well celebrated as animals from other
kingdoms also joined in the celebration. Joined in the fiesta are the lions,
which were the colonialists. After lots of nominations, recommendations and
deliberations, the monkeys came about a name for their newly founded country,
Banana Republic.

Banana Republic had
their first election, since their fights have always been on the fact that they
can rule themselves. Lula, a young
monkey was eventually made the King of the Banana Republic. Lula is an
intelligent, thorough-bred, patient and wise monkey, though with no much
experience of leadership, has the dexterity to usher the Banana Republic into
much anticipated country of their dreams. He was more interested in the exclusive
leadership of his country, with no interference from other countries, influence
from other kingdoms, especially that of their colonialists, the Lion Band.
However, most of Lula’s
policies met restrictions as members of his cabinet and even his country people
were more selfish than expected, probably due to the moles among them that
actually serve the Lion Band. Once, Lula thought that the trees in the forest
were too far from one another and there is a need to make sure they are closed
up for proper mobility of the citizens, especially the small monkeys. This he
thought they could do themselves and no need for mercenaries. He brought the
issue to his cabinet, so as to deliberate and proffer a solution or rather a consensus.

Tira,
the
head of procurement gave his own opinion. He said, ‘our kingdom is known to be
at the prime stage and we are just finding our feet, the squirrel have been
known to have a lot of knowledge in tree development, why don’t we contract the
job to them’. His opinion met a lot of resistance, as some were of the opinion
that since squirrels don’t have large bodies, the work will take a lot of time.
Faro,
a
constituency representative said that the best hands for such type of job could
only be the lions their colonialists, simply because they have shown a lot of
maturity and have survived a long time. His opinion was well accepted except by
the cabinet members. Lula the king felt otherwise. He thought they could do it
themselves if they wanted to or still give the job to the Trunk Kingdom of
Elephants that could pull up trees and move it somewhere else, so why the need
to contract their colonialists. After much rancorous session, the voice of the
cabinet was much more than that of Lula and he succumbed. They called on the
Lions to help out.
It took the lions few
months to help do the job, though not perfect but manageable. The Lions collected
their money and left. After few months, the monkeys discovered that they reduced
in number but it was negligible enough to waive it...Banana Republic: Fiefdom and not Freedom 2
