The Legend of Ashok Kumar

"And you are?"

"I am the Prince's advisor."

"He is the Nigerian Prince"

"And?"

"You are Indian..."

"And..."


Pause.

"Please wait here."

The Protocol officer went to fetch the Prince's people.
They soon arrived.

"Dr. Kumar!" they all exclaimed, to the surprise of
the Protocol Officer, "we weren't expecting you here!"

"The leader of the free world called my name three times"

"He only bowed twice," it was Oranmiyan. The two old
buddies hugged then departed into silence. To speak...
One Indian, One Nigerian. Both of superlative African
Intelligence.
