<div class = text-justify> 
Now a government was in place, complete with an opposition, and the Ekiti Minister duly informed the Prime Minister that the College was ready for its Independence. 

  "Have they proved themselves? " asked the Prime Minister. 

"By my grandfather's muscles! Of course they have! 

I believe theirs will be very responsible government. 
The leaders have demonstrated beyond doubt that they have the interests of their people at heart ".

"Explain".
"They have signed the Yandi Convention".

"Yandi?"

"A brain-wave of mine, by my ancestors' muscles!"

The Ekiti Minister reached triumphantly into his portfolio for the appropriate documents, lamenting the poor age he was living in, where there were no praise singers and drummers to dance around him and chant his victory. "Here are the papers, " he said with a sigh. 

The Prime Minister read briefly, then burning with excitement, re-read all the pages with deep interest. Here nodded. According to the terms of the Convention of Cooperation, Cholera College guaranteed : (1) Never to undertake the manufacture of vaccines, but to procure them directly from the mother country; (2) Never to manufacture arms or build an army, provided the mother country kept its soldiers where they were at the moment of Independence, that is, at the College's borders; (3) Never to consciously revert to barbarity by, for instance, using its own indigenous language instead of the language acquired from the mother country. 
"What is the relevance of that?" inquired the Prime Minister of the third agreement. 

   "I'll explain. It's in fact the most important agreement there, in my own opinion. My grandfather used to say that language is the chief vehicle of a people's culture and civilization, and my grandfather never told lie! If you want to rule a people for ever, teach them your own language as the Yorubas did in Ife. Impose your own gods,  your way of dressing, your own standards of life —and they will be your slaves forever! 

  "I see it all now".

   "Yes! The college must keep our language. Once they begin to use their own native language, they will naturally naturally start to reassess their own culture, and eventually discover the truth that their culture is equal to ours".

"What! God forbid such unchristianly occurrence!"

  "Some of them are bound to start advocating a return to save them from. And who knows, they may even begin to practise polygamy instead of prostitution —"

  "What! You mean they'll marry many wives instead of having civilized call girls! "

   "I won't even rule out a return to cannibalism, instead of democratic genocide as made popular in Vietnam. Already some of them keep _babalawo_ rather than psychiatrists–"

   "Enough, enough, you have done well; their language must remain banned. Read me the last agreement”.
  
“Four: Never to use any other currency on the campus apart from our own, for which we guarantee them a favorable external balance payments”.
  
  “Hm. And if they fail?”

   “If the fail in any of the agreements, we stop the vaccine supply, even if they've paid for it already, pull out our soldiers —”

   “No  no, Minister. If they fail —we change the government”.

“As You wish, PM”.

"But maybe we won't have to Prof. Gedu'nyaju has been promised an annual vacation beyond the college borders".

"You're generous, PM".</div>
