DOYIN YOYO & BATI MOUTHOSIS!

Once upon a time, not too long ago, though. I was yet young, and had accompanied mom to our local market. Mom, unlike she’s fond of doing, had taken me along so she could buy me fanciful wrist-watch of my choice for my birthday. She so much prides in my taste for voguish watches and bands.

Soon after we arrived to the market, and had just bought my watch, lo, some abominable creatures emerged from the bush-road world of the people deceiving people. Their bodies were adorned “bala-bala (chameleonic) orange color” like the mysterious “orange men” of the Crush-Pepsi. Each of them held an “omoin” (sweet cake) in hand.

Panic and commotion broke out in the market. Everyone began running away. I was yet looking, and drawing close to these figures, and in my child-like manner asking  ‘em question: “c’mon, Odudu, oyoyo (masquerade, hi), what, in hell, are you wanna do to us?; until mom shouted: “Deola, this ain’t something you get inquisitive about! Ma pami lekun (don’t make me bereaved)! She grabbed hold of me, swung me onto her arms; hah! O di bi oolo, yago funmi! Ki oju ma ri’bi, ese loogun re! (If you can’t run, yield for me! For eyes not to see evil, the leg is the antidote!)

Everybody having run some few yards away, stopped, and began gazing back from afar to see what would happen. The Odudu men began in a sweet occult song matched with acrobatic dance steps:

“Talo fe j'omoin o?

(Who‘ll eat cake)

CHORUS: Omoin!

E wa gb’omoin je;

(Come eat cake)

CHORUS: Omoin!

Omoin dun nje o;

(Cake is sweet)

CHORUS: Omoin!”

As the song and dance progress, uncle Doyin and uncle Abati, lo, in their fullest speed, were racing nearer, so they could get their share of “omoin” from the Odudu. They retorted in the Odudu song:

“Alagemo, fun wa lo’moin je;

(Chameleon, give us cake)

CHORUS: Sweet omoin!

A wa lati wa gbomoin je o;

(We’ve come to eat cake)

CHORUS: Sweet omoin!

“Alagemo, fun wa lo’moin je;

(Chameleon, give us cake)

CHORUS: Sweet omoin!”

“Eewooo (abomination), Doyin, Abati, eniyan nromi je omoin, romi redi di alagemo o! (Ijebu language: Whoever would eat sweet cake, should be ready to become chameleon o!) Go back!! You’d be initiated into the cult!!!” The elders’ bystanders had intercepted and cautioned uncle Doyin and Abati.

“Not for us, sir! Endeavor to safe your admonition for your sons.” Both of them had insulted the elders. “Omoin is a sweet food, and we would get it from these Odudus, whatever the consequence is.”

They went to meet with the Odudu o; but after which they returned, and ain’t never been  normal people in our community o. Half body of uncle Doyin has ever since become “bala-bala orange color like the “orange men” of the Crush-Pepsi. Uncle Abati’s mouth, each time he opens up, crap of lies and malformation ooze out like water poured into a basket.

LAMIESIEGHA!

Lamesiogo was supposed to be in school, studying with his buddies. His dad had enrolled him into school, so he could be eminent in their society, and thus bring glory to his family. However, each day, Lamesiogo jettisons classes, and goes bird hunting in the bush.

One market day, his mom packaged some fishes, and gave to him to go sell in the market. On his way to the market, in the bush road, Lamesiogo pulled-up, and began eating the fishes he was sent to go sell. He’d anticipated no one was around him looking who could go report to his parents. Unfortunately, however, right on top of a baoba tree, there was a tiny bird looking with keen commotion. Soon as he had eaten all the fishes, and was set to return home, the bird began singing:

“Shior shiorko,

Won fi eja ran e loja;

O de ona, o mu je;

Shior shiorko!”

TRANSLATION:

[Disgustingly ridiculous;

Sent with fishes to go sell;

Got on the way, and eat all;

Disgustingly ridiculous!]

Stupid bird! Lamesiogo retorted. Hold out there, let me get a stone, and I’ll kill ya. The bird flew away, but yet keep on singing the song:

Shior shiorko,

Won fi eja ran e loja;

O de ona, o mu je;

Shior shiorko!

When Lamesi got back home, he didn't wait for his mom to ask him for money he made from the sales of the fishes before he framed a story of how a wild dog was about to attack him, and he was running until he fell, and the dog ate the fishes.

On another market day, his mom repeated the same thing. She package another bunch of fishes, and gave him to go sell again. Lamesi, again, went in the bush road, pulled-up, and ate all the fishes. Unfortunately again, the same tiny bird was on the tree top looking him. Also, he hadn't anticipated his father’s friend was above on the palm tree tapping wine, and was looking too. Soon as he had eaten all the fishes, and was set to return home, the bird began singing:

Shior shiorko,

Won fi eja ran e loja;

O de ona, o mu je;

Shior shiorko!

Stupid bird! Lamesiogo said. I’d warned ya the other time. Hold out there, let me get a stone, and I’ll kill ya. The bird flew away, perched on another tree, but yet singing the song:

Shior shiorko,

Won fi eja ran e loja;

O de ona, o mu je;

Shior shiorko!

The wine tapper descended from the palm tree top, and arrested Lamesi for thievery. Lo, his dad was also passing by, going to market, and he was handed over to be dealt with. His dad strung a whip, but as he attempted to flog, emotion flared in his soul as Lamesi was sobbing and begging for mercy. The tiny bird, again, flew to the tree top near, and began singing in a different chorus:

Baba, baba,

Yes, beat him;

Do beat him;

Won fi eja ran e loja;

O de ona, o mu je;

Baba, baba,

Yes, beat him;

Do beat him!

TRANSLATION:

Dad, dad;

Yes, beat him;

Do beat him!

Disgustingly ridiculous;

Sent with fishes to go sell;

Got on the way, and eat all;

Disgustingly ridiculous;

Dad, dad;

Yes, beat him;

Do beat him!]

Lamesi’s dad looked up on the tree top, and saw this tiny bird. He grabbed a stone, and said: “useless for nothing bird, who are you to teach me how I’d nurse my child. Stealing is not corruption!” He flung the stone, the tiny bird dodged, flew away laughing, and calling mates to come see a “like father like son.”
