Resilience always pays. Drawing illustrations from David Mulwas’s Inheritance, validate this statement.

 Introduction.

We are faced with many difficult situations but it should never be the end of everything. We should press on just like Lulu,Bengo,Reverend Sangoi

Ri) Citizens

The citizens of Kutula are subjected to inhumane conditions. They are mistreated,killed,maimed,exploited intimidated and denied their rights .These barbaric acts set them against the cruel regime of Lacuna Kasso,these bad experiences do not put them down but they revolt and are unable to move on as liberated citizen.

 Rii) Bengo

Bengo preaches the message of the removal of the dictatorial regime, even when in prison; he still communicates to the people and this confirmed by Lulu who says they got his message even when he is in prison, he does not even give up the fight to see removal of bad leadership even after being imprisoned for more than ten years. He comes out and proceeds with the revolutions and rebellion against Lacuna, this eventually comes to fruition when Lacuna is toppled.

 Riii) Reverend Sangoi

Lacuna says “…Now my sister..is it possible that this pig headedness, this silent rebellion…has anything to do with you?...Drastic measures will be taken against all dissidents…”(pg; 67, 68) ….she will pay heavily for her revolution, she doesn’t give in….she pushes to the end. She leads rebels and revolutionists who are tired of with the cruel regime. She leads the [people in a march against the regime of Lacuna Kasoo, which leads to Lacuna being removed from leadership in a civil changeover; Lacuna is apprehended and awaits common law to be charged.

 R iv) Lulu

Lacuna, who is many times over her father’s age, makes advances; he even detains her against her will at the palace. He kisses her forcefully and wants to marry her against her will. She does not fear to air her concerns and say what she wants. She candidly tells the leader to let her go home. “Your Excellency! I want to leave. I want to go home to my mother.” (pg; 93)…”it’s not possible! Me! Your Excellency, I’m your daughter many times over, and still in school.”(pg; 93). She does not give in. she remains chaste just as her mother taught her.

 Conclusion:

Resilient people always excel in life.
