Children of the Mother pot - Tears of nature

Today is the 4th, of Oct, 2042. It has been two years ever since the seven states of the East African region emerged to form one Ubuntu state governed based on pure African principles, culture, and heritage. The Union government is run by an executive body known as the Ubuntu Council which operated under what is known as the Ubuntu Federal System of Governance. This is a system of governance where Chiefs and Kings of different tribes and cultures across the region rule as joint hereditary Executives whose respective representatives to the general population are known as Prime ministers. (Waziri Mkuu or Kattikilo ( - the term used in Buganda Kingdom in the Ugandan Province.)) These Prime ministers also act as tribal governors in their tribes, kingdoms, or Chiefdoms of origin. On the other hand, these federal Prime ministers act as the Union's members of Parliament. However, getting this system into full acceptance and operation took not less than six years. Prime ministers reported to their tribal heads (The Union’s executives) who met around the end of every month to discuss significant pressing regional matters. Members of the executive body served as Chief Justices in their respective tribes, kingdom, and chiefdoms. And the laws governing their people were based on two unique constitutions; the first of which was majorly based on traditional laws of different respective cultures, kingdoms, and chiefdoms they ruled, while the second constitution drew inspiration from the rest of the world and applied to the Ubuntu Federal Union as a whole. The Chief Justice's position and role was hereditary unless the heir wasn't of age, sick, or disabled beyond the capability to serve, then the Queen mother would take on the role until her son was ready. At regional and international level, the East African Union's Executive body was represented by the "Muntu" who attended continental and international conferences on behalf of the executive body. She also was legible to attend all monthly executive meetings. On the other hand, she was the executive’s voice to the general public with powers higher than all Prime ministers combined. She appointed tribal inspectors of government for each and every tribe, kingdom, and chiefdom as she saw fit. These government inspectors monitored the works of their Prime Ministers with the assistance of their federation’s Police Commanders who also reported directly to the Muntu’s secretariat. Tis made the Muntu’s position the highest in the Ubuntu government, only second to the powers of federal kings and chieftains. (Case in point – the Union had one army and Federal police departments attributed to their respective tribes.) The Ubuntu Federal System's executive body never voted on the 'Muntu.' She was rather chosen through a highly sacred traditional ritual – during which only one out of seven regional female competitors would be chosen by the will of the gods of these lands. *** Ukuru Thiful, the eldest daughter of the Luo - Thiful family was chosen as the first 'Muntu' and representative of the Ubuntu Federal Executive body. She was a beautiful and popular 54-year-old half-Albino woman from the West Nile of the Province of Uganda who loved and cared for the people. One of her hands was white albino-colored up to her elbow which every first-born child of her family carried for generations unknown. The Ubuntu Federal System was designed by members of the Ndahura Foundation which is an organization of tribal leaders from major tribes across the East African community aimed at the unification of the East African community under what they called the Ubuntu system of governance. The Ubuntu system however faced countless hardships until 2042 when all former East African Heads of State agreed to shift from the former neo-colonial systems of rule to embrace/adapt the Ubuntu Federal System which is purely African and reflective of the cultures, morals, and values of every East African tribe, kingdom. *** The Muntu’s appointment ritual took place on the 23rd of Oct 2040, at Midnight in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where the Union's Parliament is based. And the winning candidate was none other than Ukuru Thiful ( - a female) whose best opponent was Mzee Mabira's wife, Chidinma Dangoteh, from the richest family in Nigeria. To your knowledge, Mzee Mabira serves as the current CEO of the Ndahura Foundation, the mother organization behind the birth of the Ubuntu Federal government. But to his greatest disappointment, Mzee Mabira's wife lost in the ‘Muntu divine appointment’ to Ukuru Thiful. This isn't what Mzee Mabira Muhingo expected and in turn, it changed something about him. Defeat is very disappointing but a part of life and change is a natural phenomenon. However, if one mixes up the two, their heart and soul often succumb to paramount corruption. *** In the past 30 years, international communities invested billions of funds on research for a lasting solution to Climate Change which remains an escalating global challenge to our world So, Muntu Ukuru Thiful's first mission/goal as the Union's first Muntu was to try and revive what is known as the Green Ripple Programme. This was a Ndahura Foundation Programme aimed at curbing Climate change. But for you to understand the Green Ripple Programme well, you must get more familiar with Ndahura Foundation, it parent organization. *** Ndahura Foundation is known as Africa's largest indigenous Cultural protection Organization, - based in Uganda, the central Province of the East African Union. However, ever since its conception, the Foundation focused 99% of its energy and resources on the running of two major Programs namely 'The Black Wonders Programme' and 'The Green Ripple Programme.' Its headquarters are found in well to do peaceful, beautiful and most traditional town called Ndahura Town. This town borders Uganda's largest and oldest rainforest called Mabira. Mabira forest comprises some of Africa’s oldest medical tree species including several others the outside world has never heard of. Meanwhile Ndahura town remains a special and highly treasured by the Ubuntu Community as a whole since it is the birth place of a body that repulsed neo-colonialism. It draws its name from the Ndahuras, - a famous regional family which members are believed to have descended directly from Ndahura, a legendary C’wezi king and warrior. The Ndahuras were believed to be the wealthiest, oldest and longest surviving family in the whole of the lakes region. On the other hand, they were a very peculiar, traditional and culturally inclined family which has inhabited the center of Mabira forest for generations or time immemorial. They were very fond of colonial civilization, modern science and technology ( - in relation to the last black civilization of ancient Kemet, North of Africa) which they delicately, intricately incorporated or interlaced with the original fabric of the C’wezi culture and traditions. They did this in a very diversified and sophisticated manner compared to any other external African society - long before the departure of the colonial masters. They owned a grand estate in the heart of the rain forest, which many have never seen before but at least heard about - as Ndahura family Estate. Many forests across the Great Lake’s region as far as the Eastern shores of the DRC had been demolished over the years following the decolonization of Africa - in an attempt to create space for human settlement( - as a result of population growth) and industrialization but for three major reasons, nothing would ever part the Ndahuras with this specific forest. And yet, the only reason they could openly confess to was the forest’s protection from the early invasions of the Luo Babiito on the C’wezi Dynasty. And as a form of gratitude, they had vowed to protect and preserve it from whoever and whatever threatened its existence for all generations to come. This family cherished great bonds with nearly every kingdom and chiefdom across what's currently known as the East African Ubuntu Community but remained alien to the colonialists throughout their years of presence in the region - until Uganda's Independence in 1962. The head of the Ndahura family by then was Mr Dushiime Ndahura, a mysterious forty-two-year-old man who had a vision of ensuring the survival of African Kingdoms, Chiefdoms, their culture, and heritage even after the departure of their colonial masters. However, he couldn't ensure this if the peoples of East Africa adopted the colonialist capitalistic system of rule or governance after independence. He and the family elders visited the King of Bunyoro and the Ganda people who were the strongest native Kingdoms around the Great Lakes region by then to discuss his vision. These meetings spread to as many traditional leaders around the first three East African Independent states. Those who found Dushiime Ndahura's vision worth supporting birthed a fellowship known as the Ubuntu Fellowship. For 900 years, Ndahura daughters had been married off to Princes of most of the different Kingdoms and chiefdoms across the Lakes region and beyond which strengthened Ndahura family relations around the region long before the colonialist's arrival. So when Dushiime Ndahura met with the Bunyoro Kitara and Ganda Kings that time, he was most welcome as the Alpha descendant of the C’wezi demi-gods and a direct descendant of Ndahura, - the greatest warrior King of the Great Lakes Region. Having heard Dushiime Ndahura's post-colonial national and regional governance ideas before Uganda's Independence, the two Kings promised the Ndahura family their most sincere support and protection as they brought together some if not all of Uganda's, Tanzania and Kenya's tribal leaders/cultural heads in support of what he called the Ubuntu Federal System of rule capable of uniting them all beside replacing the post-independence colonial system of governance. A majority of tribal leaders across the great lakes region trusted Mr. Dushiime Ndahura's idea. Together, they formed the first council of what is currently known as the Ndahura Foundation whose headquarters is found in Ndahura Town one mile outside of Mabira forest, Uganda Province. It was agreed the Foundation's chairmanship would be hereditary or inherited by the first son of every first son of the Ndahura family starting with Mr Dushiime Ndahura himself. So Mzee Dushiime Ndahura endeavoured to mentor and train his elder son Mr Ocaki Ndahura who inherited him after he died in 1985(- at the age of 71.) *** Unfortunately, not every member of Ndahura family was pleased by Mr Ocaki Ndahura's rise as heir and head of the Ndahura family and Foundation altogether respectively. Three months after the East African community’s former heads-of-states adapted the Ubuntu system of rule, Mr Ocaki Ndahura, ( - at the age of 78), dies a mysterious death after a mere quarrel with his eldest son and heir Mr Nyakojo Ndahura. Mr Nyakojo Ndahura, a father of two children namely - 'Yasmin Nyakojo and - 'Djed Ndahura' is alleged the murderer of his very own father - Mzee Ocaki Ndahura. And according to the weight of this, the clan elders suggest that he be stripped of his *rights as the first son of the Ndahura family and sentenced to serve seven years in prison followed by his wife's divorce while he is in prison. His children Yasmin Nyakojo and Djed Nyakojo Ndahura left Kampala, the capital city of the province of Uganda to start staying at Ndahura Family Estate, that mysterious and culturally sophisticated mansion located at the centre of the once - Ndahura Forest, now Mabira Forest. *** Through Ndahura Foundation's Black Wonders Programme, Mzee Dushiime Ndahura managed to unite many tribal leaders. Mzee Ocaki starts what is known as the Green Ripple Programme. But shortly after his death, Mr Mabira, the Foundation's current CEO, froze the Green Ripple Program's funding. Then, under the support of a majority of the family elders, he diverted the Programme's annual funding to double up the Black Wonders Program and his reasons were never understood or even questioned.
