After a terrorist attack in 2012, our President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan told a shocked Nation “Calm down. Terrorist attacks happen everywhere”.
Look at this scenario.
A family of over 50 people akin to a football academy; a man, 6 wives and 26 children live somewhere. Now imagine 4 of his sons named Kabiru, Kamoru, Sulemonu and Adimula have live-in lovers who have 5 kids each. The house is full and the head of the family called Baba No Regret allows anyone behave as they choose. He is in-charge but not IN-CHARGE.
Suddenly, the family becomes subject to incessant attack from marauding armed robbers. On a fateful Friday, the robbers attacked the ‘Majiyagbe’ cottage which houses the family. They killed 1 of his wives and 7 of his children. Many others were injured. The household was thrown into chaos. Baba No Regret visited the injured members of his family in the hospital and wore a mournful look.
The following day, a Saturday, Baba No Regret put on his ‘Up Nepa’ lace, Abeti-aja cap, Salu bata shoes and headed for a party. At the party, he danced, rejoiced and made merry. He danced heartily to the mercurial Ebenezer Obey’s ‘Alowo Majaiye’.
