One day a young man woke up to find himself in a totally different place, not in his bed room where he went to bed at night but somewhere completely different. A room with white background everywhere, it felt different almost as if he was still dreaming. His bed was all that was present in this big empty space just filled with white nothing else. It felt like space but instead of having a black background like we see in the movies everywhere was white. 

No cause for alarm

You need to open your mind and be ready to think out of the box, for within a story lies another story.

Once upon a time in a village called alafia there lived a household called the ojos. The head of the family baba ojo had just passed away; he was a very successful farmer the best in the village and even the surrounding environment. Baba ojo had worked hard all his life and his hard work paid off, he had the best fruits, his meat was the best in the land and people came from all over the world to buy from his farm.

After his unexpected passing there was nobody left to take charge and control of the farm as baba ojo never showed any sign of illness and was a very healthy and fit man for someone of his age. He was 72 years old when he died and was still very active in the farm work. At the time he never felt there was need to mention his successor because he thought he had a couple more years of farming to do and there was no need to rush to name a successor while he was still active in the farm business. He once told his sons that he would retire when he was 75 and then mention his successor.
