King Ejume was a good king of Unilemy town. He was loved by his people. Mr. Lawanson was given a befitting burial. Joecelia resumed work after two weeks.

Mr. Quadri did not want Joecelia to remain in the company as MD. He therefore went to a native doctor popularly known as 'Babalawo' because he knew to get rid of Joecelia was going to be very difficult for him, after talking with the native doctor. "Hum hum! Man you have two options. One, have her killed,..."

"Haah!" Quadri exclaimed. "what, let me conclude," the old man yelled at him and continued. "Two, she will go blind, and will never know the way to the company again".

"Blindness," Quadri said as he nodded. "No problem, pay twenty thousand naira now". Quadri, without wasting time, counted twenty thousand naira and paid the native doctor. He brought out a black substance and gave it to Quadri. "Here, have this, when you get home, call her name three times and put the substance in a small tin and hide it where nobody will see it," the herbalist said.
