And they slew the hand of the king, Ahmadu the son of Bello with the sword and did sought the king to slew him but he hid himself and they slew him not, they also slew some princes of the land and did almost take the kingdom, but a certain man of war called Aguiyi the son of Ironsi, countered them that did contend for the kingdom  in order to bear rule unto the kingdom and he did take the kingdom and established his rule unto all the land yea even unto the hintermost part of the land.
11. And  some certain group of soldiers from the north were wrought at the outcome of event and being distraught by the death of Ahmadu son of bello who happened to be their brethren, did contend for  the kingdom from the king Aguiyi son of Ironsi and they slew him with the sword and did make Yakubu the son of Gowon the king in his stead.
12. But this thing displeased the soldiers from the east yea even the principality in the east called  Emeka son of Ojukwu, who did demand for the break up of the kingdom in order for each region to bear rule unto their land of themselves.
13. And they did agree in the land of ashanti  yea even in the kingdom of Ghana that the land be divided and every tribe should bear rule unto their own land of themselves.
14. But the king came back home and using subtility did not harken unto the agreement he had with Emeka son of Ojukwu to divide the land, and it so happened that the people of the east who did live and eat in the land of the north were all slain with the sword and their dwellings and properties destroyed as with fire.
15. This thing greatly displeased the people of the east, yea even the prince Emeka son of Ojukwu.  So he did divide the land of himself and rebelled against the king of Niger- area, and declared the new kingdom the republic of ‘come and see’ which is translated  in the ibo language “bia- fra”
16. And war broke out in Niger-area, and the king of Niger- area did slaughter more than one million easterners in the war which forced the chief prince to flee the land of “come and see”.

17. But there arose a contention for the kingdom from among the men of war and Muritala the son of Mohammed  did take the throne from Yakubu the son of Gowon. And did bear rule for six months and some soldiers which did guard him conspired and slew him with the sword, but the soldiers who did that evil were found and put to death and the men of war did force a valiant man of war Olusegun the son of Obasanjo to bear rule unto the kingdom and to be their king.
18. And it came to pass that when Olusegun the son of Obasanjo did bear rule in the kingdom that he harkened unto the voice of the princes of the people and the established kingdoms to turn the kingdom over to the princes of the land and return the soldiers back to their duty of guarding the kingdom and executing its wars.

23. But there arose a great out cry from the princes of the people and even from the established kingdoms in Europa and the Americas that the soldiers that did bear rule continually in the land of Niger-area even in the whole kingdom of Africa should return the kingdom unto the princes of the land and return the soldiers back to their original duty of guarding the kingdom and executing the wars of the king that there may be peace and development in the land, for the people were weary with the constant contention for the kingdom by the men of war of the land. For some men of war did contend for the kingdom but they did not prevail over him for he subdued them and slew them with the sword and there was peace in the land for a time.
24. And it came to pass that the king; Ibrahim the son of Babangida did harken unto to the voice of the princes of the land and the other kingdoms of the world, to enquire whom the people desire to be their king, that he might return the throne unto the princes and return the soldiers back to their original duty.

26. And it came to pass that, Ibrahim the son of Babangida when he did know that the people desired Moshood the son of Abiola, to be king over them that he did not harken unto their voice, but rather he crowned Ernest the son of Shonekan a prince from the west, as king in his stead, and he did flee back to his own land, even in the north.
27. It happened that, king Ernest did rule the kingdom for three months, but was removed by his men of war, who did guard the kingdom, and they made the chief man of war Sani son of Abacha,  king in his stead.
28. And Abacha did evil in the sight of the LORD, in that he did slew certain princes of the land and he took the prince whom the  people did desire to be king over them and put him in prison and caused that his wife be slain because she asked that the kingdom be restored unto him. He also did commit the old king, Olusegun son of Obasanjo to prison because he demand the return of the kingdom to the prince of the people  besides, he was going to transform himself from a man of war and into a prince that he may bear rule over the kingdom forever, and had certain men who did support him and urged him on who formed five groups that endorsed him for to bear rule over the whole kingdom.

King Abdulsalami, son of Abubakar reigned over the kingdom for six months and he did was was right in the sight of God and the people in that he enquired whom the people want to bear rule over them, for the prince whom, is Moshood, son of Abiola whom they had chosen of time past had died in prison.
31. And the people desired Olusegun,  son of Obasanjo, the  old king who returned the kingdom back unto the prince, even unto Shehu, the son of Shagari, and whom the late king Sani, son of Abacha did commit to prison to be king over them.
32. And king Abdulsalami, son of Abubakar did harken to the voice of the people and did lift up the head of the old king Olusegun, the son of Obasanjo out of prison and made him king over the kingdom in his stead.
33. And Olusegun, son of Obasanjo was made king the second time in the year 1999 and he established his kingdom and did reign for eight years and there was peace in the land.
34. And the king did what was right in the sight of God and man, and it came to pass that after eight years of his reign when he ought to depart from the throne that he did enquire who the people want to bear rule over them and the people desired Musa, son of Yar’adua a prince from the north to be king over them and he did make Musa king in his stead and Goodluck, son of Jonathan as the hand of the king.
35. And it came to pass that in the second year of the reign of king Musa, that he King Musa, son of Yar’adua fell ill and did not recover for the Lord took him to be with him because he was a righteous man.  For he did admit that he was not the perfect choice of the people to rule over them however he promised to make the enquiry process better in his time and he did what was right in the sight of the lord and man.
