ALAKISA N JO L'ORU...BO PE ILE A MO L'OLA!


I was a little younger than this when this wonderful home video was produced; it was titled ‘Saworo Ide’ meaning ‘Brass bell’ (I sincerely hope my interpretation will find favour with Yoruba linguists). I do not intend to rubbish the efforts of today’s actors, actresses and movie producers but I must sincerely say the films of nowadays can hardly compare with the soundness of the ‘Saworo Ide’ storyline. It was one wonderful piece of art.
In one of the scenes of the film, the prolific Yoruba elder statesman, Adebayo Faleti mockingly sang a song to one of the Chiefs of Oba Lapite (Kayode Oyewo). The song went this way, ‘alakisa n jo l’oru, bo pe ile a mo l’ola’ meaning ‘the man in rags is dancing in the middle of the night, no matter how long it takes, day will break tomorrow’. The man in rags could dance in the middle of the night truly, at least the darkness of the night would have made it impossible to see him in rags, but no matter how long it takes, when day breaks, the world will clearly see that he is still in rags and his shame will be uncovered.
I sincerely hope I did not confuse you with the funny analogy because that analogy is not the exact destination of this discourse. The destination of this discuss is the way that analogy applies to every evil doer who thinks for some instantaneous reasons, their evils will not be blown open. I have a very bad news for such people, when the truth is let loose just like daybreak in the analogy, their shame will no know bounds and the world will see them for the evil doers that they are.
All evil political office holders in Nigeria should get ready, daybreak is almost here and they will soon be put to shame, likewise all political leaders and their cohorts, light has almost come and darkness will have to give way. Let this warning sound clearly in the ears of the PDP manipulators and the APC liars, the APGA pretenders and the ACCORD sycophants, the LABOUR hypocrites and the DPP deceivers, let them know that when the freedom bell jingles, they will all be making merry in their prison cells. Let the warning sound and sound aloud, that when Karma comes around, alakisa won to n jo l’oru, bo pe ile a mo l’ola.
This warning bell should be sound aloud in the ears of Ogbeni Aregbesola, his cohorts and his blind-folded praise-singers, that when the justice bell sounds, a blanket of lies will not be sufficient to cover their naked shame. Let them know that the lies about the true amount of debt Osun State is in, the bogus contracts for the construction of Mega Schools, the propaganda about road construction that is leading to more flag-offs and no commissioning, let them know all these lies will soon be blown open and when day breaks, all lies will be exposed and all liars will go on vacation to prison.
Sound the warning bell to Stella Adaeze-Oduah, the woman with serious love for bullet-proof BMWs, let her know that when day breaks, no GEJ will be able to shield her from the repercussions of her wasteful spending and corruption. Assure her that she will have no place to run to when her shame is exposed, let her know.
Tell all the Tinubus, the Edwin Clarks, the Asari Dokubos, the hawks of the Nigerian political class that day will soon break and their rags will be seen. GEJ should watch his dancing steps, let this warning sound clear in his ears, that when what goes around comes around, he will languish in someplace worse than the Island of Patmos if he does not watch his steps.
Alakisa n jo l’oru, bo pe ile a mo l’ola.............
