A Nigerian youngster who was visiting the
United Kingdom for the first time was taken
to the London zoo for sightseeing. On getting
to the section where monkeys are kept, he
was amazed to see other tourists giving out
plenty of money to the monkeys that were
hopping around doing acrobatics. The more
the acrobatics, the more the tourists enjoyed
the show and the more the money (hard
currency) the monkeys got.
This young man suddenly had an idea and
when he got back to Nigeria, he started
learning all kinds of acrobatics. He visited his
medicine man and asked for a portion that
will transform him into a monkey.
During his next visit to London, he went into
the zoo and took the portion and was
transformed into a monkey. He joined the
other monkeys and started his own type of
modern, systematic and attractive acrobatics.
He soon caught the attention of all the tourists
who wasted no time in showering him with
plenty of pounds sterling. He was now making
more money than the real monkeys.
The king of the monkeys didn't like this and
challenged the new monkey to an acrobatic
duel. The contest was tough and very keen
but the new monkey won. The king monkey
had to go on exile in shame but before he left
he set a trap for the intruding monkey who
now became the new king.
The next day, monkey business started as
usual, with money coming in from the
tourists. There was this particular tourist who
really enjoyed the show that he threw a lot of
money into the cage. The new king pocketed
his money but to his amazement all the other
monkeys threw their earnings into the
adjacent cage. The new king could not
comprehend this and would not allow all that
money to go away like that; so he jumped into
the adjacent cage to pick up the money. It was
only when he got there that he realized it was
a lion's cage.
The lion looked at him, looked at the money
and roared and started toward the monkey
who was now sweating, shaking and foaming
in the mouth.
Half way, the lion suddenly stopped, looked at
the monkey again and said:
"Oh boy, if no bi say we all na Naija, I for
show you."
