"EVERYBODY IN THIS VILLAGE IS UNDER ARREST", SAYS THE ARMY.

There was this village where the word, 'GENERAL', Means, 'l greet you'. At a time, there was a communal clashes between the elders and the youths of the village and this led to the deployment of the army down to maintain peace.

The army mounted a roadblock at the entrance of the village. But to their surprised, anybody who came to the roadblock usually said, 'General'. Both males and females. Young and elderly.

The army became cautioned. Since, all the residents were generals, they believed that a great wisdom was need for them not to found themselves been court marshal.

But the climax came one evening when a young boy of about seven years of age who was rolling a bicycle's wheel with no shirt on, but only pant got to the army roadblock and said, 'General'. 

The soldiers became mad and they said, "What! This small boy with only pant on a general? When we who are forty to fifty years of ages are still private, corporal, Lance corporal and Sergeant! No way! We must know whether he joined the army from his mother's womb".

They asked the boy to take them to his parents. On getting there, his father and mother were sitting outside. Both of them then said to the army, 'General', meaning, 'l greet you'. And the soldiers said, " Yes, we believed that both of you are generals but we want to know when this your son joined the army and also became a general ". 

After some minutes, they became aware that the word 'General' means "l greet you" not being a force person.

The army became infuriated and they said, "Everybody in this village is now under arrest. You bloody civilians".
