Thanks Demba. Glad you enjoyed the piece. Hope you didn't choke on your favorite Domoda while laughing. Yes, we can see through the idiots antics.

Baba,
Great reading and it made my day! I was all along smiling reading the piece but when I got to this statement: "Who does he think he is? Ehe ehe ehe! Well, Bagara. Hmn. Ehe! Me thinks the general is too – what? Great? To be called Bagara! No way! Orko Kangaado! Ehe ehe!" 
 
I couldn't control my laughter any more and just kept laughing.... it really made my day and I got the needed relief. It is hilarious how you capture such a character in such amazing fashion. Thanks for a great read!!! 
 
Happy New Year in advance!

Demba

 G. I. Nyuhu: Rise of the Green Tyrant – Part Two
 
By Baba Galleh Jallow
It was not long before General Nyuhu the Green Tyrant started hankering after grandiose titles again. While he still smarted from the shameful rip-off he suffered from the non-existent institute and the cunning white man, he still carried his great title of Maralaat and insisted on being called His Excellency General Nyuhu Ahaha Toot Poot Porohal Maralaat of Bush demons fame! And he still carried his dry donkey tail in one hand and his cow skull in the other. And he still wore his oversized green boubous even when the temperatures were 200 degrees in the shade! And his most loyal toadies still called him Fabutu Baftaa! The Hujatta Fuut of Doota!! Fay Foo Fafasa!
Nevertheless, our poor little Nyuhu still felt exceedingly small, even with all his titles and his giant green boubous. He felt as if there was a big gaping hole inside of his life and a big emptiness in his head and all around him. The world seemed so big to him that he often had to hold on to his seat for fear of disappearing into the bewildering expanse all around him. And so even while he still fumed at being fooled for his Maralaat title, he still enjoyed his long titles and was looking for some more to reduce that biting feeling of smallness in his soul.
And so it wasn’t long before his slow mind hit on another brilliant idea! He immediately called his most favorite cronies and loyal stooges to himself and picked their minds on his great new idea. And since there was never any objection from these loyal stooges and favorite cronies, they heartily endorsed His Dull Generalcy’s novel idea! And so within the next few days, our confused general worked hard to set his brand new wooden train on the rails and get it moving. He kept his idea a great secret and threatened to cut off their tongues if the favorite cronies and loyal stooges dared say a word about it to anyone. Surreptitiously, he dispatched an envoy to summon some prominent citizens of the land to whom he entrusted execution of what seemed to him the absolute master plan of his life! 
Shortly afterwards, General Nyuhu the Green Tyrant held a very secret meeting with the prominent persons at which he explained to them his great idea! Of course, the most prominent persons were most pleased at the novel idea and nodded vigorously in agreement with the green general! They were all highly praised by the happy general and given the go-ahead and some stuffed envelops to cover their fees and expenses. They were to keep the idea as secret as possible and make everyone believe that it came from themselves. For what General Nyuhu was asking was too heavy to be seen to come from him. And so with stern warnings that their tongues and beards would be cut if anyone knew that the great idea came from him, General Nyuhu sent the prominent persons away.
Soon, breaking news hit the pages and airwaves of the land! Some of the most prominent persons in the land were campaigning all over the land for the great and ancient title of Bagara to be conferred upon General Nyuhu! The news caused quite a great stir in the land because the title of Bagara was no easy title and had not been seen or heard in the land for the past 400 years or more! Only men of the greatest wisdom, distinction, power, acumen, and a host of other greatest of all great qualities ever qualified for the title of Bagara. And while General Nyuhu did have some qualities, many people felt that the great title of Bagara was just too much for him. And so the prominent persons’ campaign was met with a great hue and cry and much mumbling, grumbling, nodding, and shaking of the head. Many people got the long eradicated and dreaded Laughs disease and just couldn’t stop laughing even while they slept. What? Bagara? Bagara! For God’s sakes no! We can’t confer the title of Bagara on him. Who does he think he is? Ehe ehe ehe! Well, Bagara. Hmn. Ehe! Me thinks the general is too – what? Great? To be called Bagara! No way! Orko Kangaado! Ehe ehe!
But the prominent persons were undeterred and argued vigorously that if any man ever deserved to be called Bagara, it was General Nyuhu. Did not even the white man from the distant seas come to the land and confer a great title upon him? Was he not called His Excellency General Nyuhu Ahaha Toot Poot Porohal Maralaat of roadside demons fame? And could he not cure all diseases, even death and destruction? What was wrong with conferring the great title of Bagara on the greatest man in the world? Haa? The prominent persons vigorously pursued their sacred mission with remarkable gusto. Some of them even shaved off their flowing beards to give their busy lips more room to move and promote the Bagara cause. They were sure that in the end, it all really came down to what General Nyuhu wanted. That was all that mattered.
Seeing that things were not moving as smoothly as he thought they would, General Nyuhu initiated his clever Plan B. He asked the leader of the important House of Robots to place the issue on the floor and support it, making it seem as if the prominent persons initiated the Bagara idea themselves and had a legitimate right to do so. If the House of Robots - also called the National Simbully - endorsed the idea, there was nothing to stop the people they represented from all nodding their consent. And so the Bagara issue was raised by the House of Robots and supported by the Simbully Mumbler from Bazaar Citral who said that in fact, the idea of Bagara was long written in the laws of the land. Other Simbully Mumblers vigorously supported the Bazaar Citral Mumbler’s motion and they all shouted down the one or two lone voices that dared to question the wisdom of calling General Nyuhu Bagara! Did General Nyuhu not own the land? Did not even the white man from the distant seas come all the way to the land to confer upon the great general the esteemed title of Maralaat? Was he not called His Excellency General Nyuhu Ahaha Toot Poot Porohal Maralaat of Escaped Demons Fame? What was one single additional title anyway? Why not confer it upon him and let him lead the land into the distant unending future as His Excellency General Nyuhu Ahaha Toot Poot Porohal Maralaat Bagara? 
Meanwhile, the Laughs epidemic spread wider in the land. So bad did it get that there was an emergency and the hospitals all ran out of the Laughs drug and had to place emergency orders from abroad. General Nyuhu was not particularly impressed with the Laughs syndrome and angrily demanded to know why suddenly everybody had the Laughs? Had this stupid disease not been eradicated long ago? Why then did it suddenly resurface? Of course, no one dared mention Bagara as a possible cause for the resurgence of the Laughs.
