Sawubona ! What you're doing is admirable. Not many people read books by African authors and your channels will certainly help encourage more people to listen to our stories authentically written by our people. I'd love to meet you when I come home this year. Check me out on Facebook and we can connect on messenger so we can exchange contact details. I hope you'd like that too ⁉️Sibongile 🥰

​@@AudioBookMasters A magical explanation why in Aburiria nothing happens on time, and those close to power are always late: "Everybody in the country knew something or the other about the ruler's birthday because it was firmly set in the national calendar. The date of his birth and the month of his celebration had been the subject of a heated debate and parliament that went on for 7 months 7 days 7 hours and 7 minutes and even the honorable members could not arrive at a consensus mainly because nobody knew for sure the actual date of the ruler's birth.
When they failed to break the impasse the honorable members sent a formal delegation to the very seat of power to seek wise guidance after which they paused and passed a motion of gratitude to the ruler for helping the members to come to a solution to a problem that had completely defeated their combined knowledge and experience.
The birthday celebrations would always start at the 7th hour of the seventh day of the seventh month 7 being the ruler's sacred number and precisely because in Aburiria the ruler controlled how the months followed each other. January for instance trading places with July. He therefore had the power to declare any month in the year the seventh month and any day within that 7 month, the seventh day and therefore the ruler's birthday. The same applied to time and any hour depending on the wishes of the ruler
The attendance at these annual assemblies always varied but that particular year the stadium was almost full because the curiosity of the citizens had been aroused by a special announcement repeated over and over in the media that they would be a special birthday cake which the entire country had made for the ruler and which he might make multiplied and feed the multitudes in the way that Jesus Christ once did with just five loaves and two fishes."
