TRANSLATION
We put a yam on fire to roast;
In order that we might eat;
But, you hid, and eat alone;
Yet, you claim to be Christian;
How’d we be roasting a yam;
And Diezani’d go eat it alone;
And claims she's a Christian;
We met her, she’d already;
Cleansed up, trouble begets;
‘Cause It’s our collective meal;
She ate alone, yet, she claims;
To be Christian; Chai, come;
See the face of thief’s child!

EARLY LIFE!!!


I'd started school at about five years of age. I remember that I'd intensely hated the project, because it severely curtailed my period of play and freedom. You must be tidy in appearance coming to school, which meant either a complete ablution or the washing of face and limbs to present at least a good facade. In kiddie school, there was these two days I couldn't go to school. I had a kind of rashes all over my body. Mom had called it: "ina orun" [Ina orun is Yoruba tag for measles]. When I got to school, my mistress [we called female teacher "Mistress"] queried: "Segun [she’d rather called me Segun than any of my other names], why were u absent from school couple of days?” I answered: Ma, Mom, said I'm suffering from heavenly fire. I translated "Ina orun" [Ina=fire, orun=heaven] into English in my own little understanding of English and Yoruba Language. My translation created a scene. My teacher and the whole class reeled wild in ecstasy of laughs; Mr. Kadri, Mrs. Olusa, Mr. Adeyanju, Mr. Ajongbolo, my teacher called her colleague. Please, come and hear Sege-the English man, son of Agun. Segun s'oyinbo o, penkelemesi!!! [Penkelemesi, as I later read in the history of politics in Nigeria, is a distortion of English word: peculiar messes, coined from the speech of Adelabu of Ibadan during a political campaign. Lol!!!

THE CHILD!!!

“Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada; Shu sileeee-yi! Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada [omo radarada is; Yoruba noun for bad boy] Shu sileeee...yi [Shu sile=poopoo in house]!” A man's wailing in the dawn; while every folks in the community is yet asleep.
“Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada; Shu sileeee...yi!” His wail booms so loud, and louder. It sinks downward, rises upward nooks and corners of the village. “Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada; Shu sileeee...yi!”
A child jolts from sleep; Mom, mom, mom! Oh, my God! A bad boy had gone poopoo in someone’s house. Hear a man wailing: “Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada; Shu sileeee-yi!”
His mom laughs wild. “Common, mom! This ain’t funny. While would a guy go out, poopoo in someone’s house?” Deola, his mom called,  ain’t anyone poopoo in someone’s house. Mom, the boy retorted, but out there, is a man wailing: “Wayayo yingolooo; Omo radarada; Shu sileeee...yi!” Deola, his mom tried to reassure him. The man wailing is calling the Muslim saints for prayer in the Arab method.
I see, mom, but, why “don’t” he do in Yoruba language, “Don’t” God understand Yoruba language?” Deola, get back in bed, and sleep. Ma fi wahala e pami [do not kill me with ya trouble]. His mom pleads. =DEOLA

Shrug his shoulders:

Yonder, his subjects;
Were enraged!
And poured after him;
Encomiums of curses;
Yonder, too, a doctor;
Looked from afar;
He’d seen his abnormality:
Impaired prefrontal cortex:
Causes impulsive decision;
Without someone pausing;
To consider consequences;
People suffering from;
Ventromedial prefrontal cortex;
Shows impair emotion.
