I WAS JUST LAUGHING

MIND is powerful, it can construct and put things in shape. It can mar or make you. It can make you sad or make you happy . Your mind  can   travel  one million miles  while on your bed . It can transport you  from where you are  to anywhere in the world .It can catapult you  and make you sit on   Kilimanjaro mountain . With your mind you can be in Heaven or Paradise . You can be in Hell burning and can be in Heaven rejoicing and shouting Hallelujah  with your mind  . You can be like Satan or Angel depending how you want  your mind to  work. No wonder Williams Shakespeare said it all ”There is nothing either good or bad , but thinking ,makes it so ”.  I was  alone laughing  yesterday while  tears was coming from my  eyes. Nobody to laugh with me but I told a friend  to imagine how it must have been . Chei , if Baba Sala were around he could have made a movie from it . If Ajirebi, Aluwe ,  Awada Kerikeri, Baba Mero, Baba Suwe, Lukuluku Fantasi etc. were here.

Bobo T, T Bobo, BoN, Babalawo Of  the Nation

Here is an imagination of a story  from a town called BoN. A Chief was murdered in cold blood and suspects were rounded up .

Policeman

HOW CHIEF MOJEBI IKU SCALED THE FENCE 

Immediately    Chief  Mojebi Iku  heard that the Police  officers were around, he peeped through the window to be sure . Yes , they were Mobile Police officers  also known as Kogberegbe  led by a Yoruba man Olounesan   Kilonleyin ( Deputy Inspector  General ). He screamed ” Wahala de, mo gbe !oghan mo r’oran!.  He  ran into his room and picked his  traditional flowing gown (agbada)  and his native cap ,but did not know he was wearing different buba and sokoto , all were not matched at all.  He  pretended he was going to a function . No, he did not tell his wife  where he was going . He was confused . Who will blame him? who will see danger ahead and be talking ? Abeg which kind talk o jare?. He  acted   like that Jamaican athlete,  Usain Bolt  the fastest runner in the world but Chief  never succeeded  like Bolt.

He wanted to   scale  the fence but  it was too high and  his flowing gown   could not let him be free , he  then removed it  within a twinkle of an  eye. Ah!, how will they hear that they got me , emi odindi  chief! .He  ran   into his room ,  looked for Gamallin 20  and  Andrex 40 ,( apigi )  .Yes, he  wanted to drink them to end his life , after all iku ya ju esin lo . No way, he did not see  them  under the bed  where he kept  them . What of  the oogun eku , Soole, I mean rat poison ?, no way , he couldn’t find it again.  Maybe I left them  in the  farm , or maybe my  wife  took it away , he thought . He became confused . Oloun Oba o, the  armed -to-the teeth-policemen had surrounded  his  house .He thought of what he could do again . Then he remembered there is a well in the compound , he   went to the  well ,  untied  the rope from  a bucket and looked  for a tree to hang himself but he  saw no tree. Where are the cashew trees? Where are the  Mango or guava trees? .None seen , he only sighted a pawpaw tree and pepper tree . Oh my God , so I don’t have  mango trees here , he now remembered  he  had the trees on his farm, about 50kilometeres away!.

No, this pepper tree will not work, and this pawpaw tree is not strong .He then had a suggestion, let me climb the fence and jump from here . He scaled the fence but  when he saw that his shoe was an impediment and the cement was smooth . He removed  one  of the the shoes and threw  it away!. Then he flew his cap away! fiam.  Mo gbe , they must not catch me , he soliloquized . He struggled to climb the smooth brick wall, ha! , its not good to be fat o. The more he climbed the more its slippery, while his beads were dangling on his neck. Kai alangba kare laiye! a lizard will climb it with its claws and snake will manage to do same but I will try my best , he said .

Chief  Mojebi Iku scaling the fence

But this man is neither a snake nor lizard, he is a human being but  trying to behave like  one. The more he struggled to climb it like agama agama lizard the  more  he suffered  setback. He managed to climb the brick wall that is as  smooth as butter  and as he landed  on the ground  he could not shake his head and praise himself like agama agama lizard who said if he was not praised he would praise himself for a job well-done ,but what did  Chief  see? two police officers waiting!  Laiye , igbe aa fe ewe. As he made  spirited effort to stand up, he failed. Oh my God he has become weak., he must have hurt his leg . He screamed ”Esee mi ooo’‘ (  my leg hurts), he must have sprained his leg because the brick wall fence is high , and while in secondary school the Chief did not participate in Sports not to talk of High Jump. Wahala de!

As he  struggled to free himself ,  he heard some  croaky voices ”kai ,  wanka ,sege barawo, you wan run? if you run  I  go shoot !, the  officers shouted .They  welcomed him with beatings of his life  and with gun’s butt .   Now he became gentle as a lamb  and   could not bear the beating anymore. The two police officers rained beatings on him .Yeeparipa , a whole chief! .His upper lip  had cracked and swollen and now    separated from the lower one. Kai, one tooth is gone  and another one is shaking . Why not? . Kondo Olopa ni now, it speaks volumes on him. Blood , yes he spat , but didn’t see sputum but blood.  He has developed a mountain on his head .Oga e jowo now, he begged but trust them, they did not  understand  Yoruba language for  they are from the Northern part of Nigeria . They are kiigbo, kii gba, kogberegbe Mobile Policemen. They are all dark in complexion with frightening facial marks. Immediately  the chief saw them he  became humble and gentle  .Again they beat him like the Yoruba  beaded gourd, sekere. after all igbaju igbamu ni sekere fi n’ti ode  ariya bo. Yoruba gourd  returns home well battered    from outing entertainment .

Family members crying over the loss of their breadwinner, Chief Olounada Aiyesoro who was brutally  killed by suspected assassins 

As he was struggling with the policemen , he suddenly became gentle because he  could not receive  the  ”royal’ beatings anymore. What of the Olori Oko? Immediately  he was intimated that  they were after him he picked his car and faced Benin road. The rest is now  history.

SECOND CHIEF 

As Chief Motidaran  Edarijimi   sighted the police van , he screamed ” Ye mo gbe , oghon ti wa, o ti mu mi oooo, mo juya (I’m in trouble , the police have come to arrest me), please let me go into hiding . He then went behind the door to hide but the police officers saw his toes showing under the door and chorused   ” this no be  goat’s leg o, na human being be this , and they dragged him out from there with welcome beatings from there. Chei! wonder shall never end , the Chief started confessing like a tormented Witch saying ” Na true , I kill the Chief  just because of money ni o, na Olojukokoro sent me oo I have not even received my balance.

Chief Motidaran  Edarijimi  behind the door

Please forgive me , Allah go forgive you” but trust the Mobile Policemen , they did not listen to him as they dragged him out and gave him a dirty slap in the present of his wife .The wife was asking what her husband did , but this annoyed the police officers as they  rained beatings on her too, she screamed  ” Oghon me a pa mi ku  ooooo( they   wanted to kill me oooo). One of his children advised his father to confess his atrocity and be free but trust the stubborn man , he was ashamed to do that in the public. The couple were dragged to the station where they started confessing like a tormented witch. The couple confessed and said  ” na devil’s work o, please forgive us ”, 

While  Mr. Asiritu  Olojukokoro  who paid for the assassination was intimated that the Police had arrested some  of his men , Chei  , what will  he do ?. He took his car key ,threw it away then began to run , and run and run and run ... Mo gbe ooo . Mi ma fi asisri a tu ooooo, if I had known I wouldn’t have planned this , he was telling one of his friends.  On his way he went to some villages to consult some of his Babalawos , he told  them  that Oka ti fo, asiri ti tu , then what will I do now? The Babalawo told him not to be scared and gave him etu, tira, and ehin oka , ehin ejo, iru kiniun, ehin adiye,  with imi ojo and osumare to bathe with. After three days he came back to  the town , BoN . He spent money and said he was ready to spend 50million  naira to evade justice. Ah, if  I had known, and I don’t want to be jailed for life. Since then some of the suspects have been walking free and avoiding social gatherings . They have been to places doing sacrifices and rituals to let the case die down.But will the case die down? Laiye, eewo , aa tigbo?.

When the suspects talk in the public , they would  just be talking and talking without sense just trying to defend themselves whereas the people of BoN are just watching . Mr. Orunrie Seotan said ” No matter  how they run they will still get them because the Chief they killed is not resting , he will fight spiritually .

MUSICIANS

As these suspects were fleeing ,  Bob Marley’s album Kaya  was playing ” ‘Running Away’

Professor Wole Soyinka  recently said he wants  killing cases in Nigeria  open and he is ready to testify in Court again after 21 years of the assassination of  Chief Bola Ige.

The late Thomas Sankara who was the Burkina Faso Military head of state  whose childhood friend,  Blaise Compaoré  brutally killed in 1987 by soldiers outside his office.

Compaoré ruled for 27 years before  he was  ousted in another coup in 2014 and fled to Ivory Coast, where he lives now. He was given a life sentence in absentia  last week by the Burkina Faso Military government over his involvement of the killing of Sankara. .
