Thank you,

I came to appreciate you

The great witches

I warned you

you said you will,

those that did same yesterday

have seen the consequence

if only it was just the consequence

wouldn't it have been better for them,

they got more than they bargain for

My dear sister,

I am next in line to the title more that you,

drop it!

If I don't drop it what will you do?

What will you do, my elder sister?

You want to be embarrassed

Be careful Oyedunmade!

I am more entitled to the title than you

And I have all it will take to attain it

you don't

Please

what do you have

that is making you so proud and confident?

It's money and wealth

Oh really!?

It is!

Money and wealth!?

Only that you have forgotten

That?

That 20 children

would not take God a second to kill

Oyenihun

I have warned you enough

if I ever hear you mention

IYALODE,

What will you do?

What will you be?

Answer me!

There is a place where things are

locked and unlock!

This is where I reside

And so what?

Where people are locked

and unlocked!

Ah!

Oyenihun!

If you refuse

to let go of this IYALODE title...

you see all those money

and wealth that you think you have

will vanish within second

That is for money that is not enough

Do you want to hear?

I may be small

but not for you to swallow!

you heard me right

Children....

....let go home

You?

Yes!

Alright then

Oh wealth!!!

Oh world!!!

Oh motherhood!!!

Who could have done this?

For God sake!!!

Heavenly God!!!

Who could have done this?

This is too much!!!

That's how we saw it

Have pity on me your majesty!

Save me!

That's what was said?

Said this will be done

and also did it?

Yes your yours majesty

My elder sister said that

20 children would not take God a day to kill all

Have mercy on me,

do not let me suffer in vain

Your majesty, this is quite much!

Very hard!

Quite a very heavy case to ponder on before us

20 slaves!?

Yes

30 servants!?

Yes Sir!

4 horses!?

Yes

And so many livestock!?

Yes

all due to the contest of IYALODE title?

QUITE WONDEROUS!

This is too much!

Your majesty,

this is something to ponder on.

for someone who sees

and step on their our clothe

if eventually they see other persons own,

won't they tear it?

Definitely tear it into pieces!

Just because of the IYALODE title contest

she is turning herself to death

See,

let's be grateful to God Almighty

that she didn't meet Oyenihun at home

If she had met her

probably would have killed her

and her entire generation

YES YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Of same mother and not just mere

distance relations

YEAH!!!

Your majesty,

how should we define this now?

See, their likes are unimportant

If the likes of them are given title

in this land there will be chaos

YEAH!!!

please have mercy on me your majesty,

please have mercy on me my lords

They have heard you

I stand alone on this,

my people come to aid,

do not let me suffer please

THERE WILL BE SOLUTION TO IT!!!

Ashabi!

if not for the friendship between us

which is why I came to you..

What is it?

The King said you should come with us

He said if you can't walk,

if it is to drag you

to the palace

YES!!!

How do you intend to?

with your hands or legs?

Let's go there!!!

Your mother did well with the title

so also shall you!!!

AMEN!!!

Henceforth

this shall be titled IYALODE IKULEINDE!!!

Amen!

They shall be swift delivery in women

AMEN!!!

I want to use this medium to ask for something

your majesty

What will that be?

It's my elder sister that is in the cell your majesty

because...

She is family

though her crime is worth capital punishment

please forgive her

I have heard you

But

today we will give judgement on the case

But don't let this dent your day of celebration

Thank you your majesty

ADIKAKA EULOGY

ADIKAKA EULOGY

Your majesty!!!

They have stepped on you,

surely they will feel your wrath!!!

Your majesty!!

IN KULENDE!?

Yes your majesty

In the land of my forefathers!?

Your majesty!!!

Who did you say did this atrocity?

Who did it?

Your majesty,

based on information,

It is said it was done by Iyalodes people

Iyalode?

Did this?

Yes I am the one

It was you?

Yes your majesty I did it

It was you?

You sent your people to maim and harm them

in ATITEBIS farm?

Yes

Your majesty

It is said when a child has no means to ask questions

on what killed his father he dares not ask...

...now I have the means

to ask what killed my father

Was it a mistake or misquote?

because,

the farm I collected is not of Atitebi

but of Mogun my fathers land

Wait!

have you forgotten that

Atitebi and Mogun are of the same father?

and the land has been shared

HEY! SHUT UP!

And so what?

Otun, words brings out kola from the pocket

do not let your utterances brings sword from my pocket

if that happens

it will cut you into pieces

Let it out!

IYALODE!

My King

I have answered your question

if there is anything else you still want ask send for me

that's if I am chanced

otherwise I have no time for such talk

YOUR MAJESTY!!!

Youthful exuberant

You heard her,

Your majesty

She has the gut to say it before his majesty

I am more pained

when she told the kings right hand chief

to shup up

I was scared,

quite unfortunate,

had it been it was Oyedunmade we gave this title

would it be like this?

For where?

Don't you know you remember the dead when the living fails?

Only God knows where Oyedunmade is right now

SINGING

Ashabi,

hope it's not that you are falling in love?

hmmm

and so what?

When a child matures

let the child get adult things

I like him

My lord!

where do we face next for battle,

east or west?

Don't face anywhere

but my warlord, I saw smiling,

we are never without battle

Yes,

there is always time for battle

but this time things are different

Yes my lord.

INCANTATION!!!

You have met me Onikoyi today,

ARIGBAOTASEGUN

where is your fire?

I forbid it!

Olukoso you must not answer

because I have walk with you and

and know what cutlass is called...

I have walked with the chief hunter

and know where to face the gun

JAGUNLAPA EULOGY

APETU EULOGY

EULOGIZING

Sited are the three contestant for the JAGUNASORO title

It's said drink water where it's enough and bath in river where it is biggest

who is strong enough to be the head hunter

hunter should be elected to the position

Did you hear

Olude, EULOGY

his father

was the first JAGUNASO

Apetu, EULOGY

his father was the second JAGUNASO

That is Korojogbon,

son of Arogunmasa,

his father is the third JAGUNASO

These are the three contestant

so who should we pick for the

title of JAGUNASO

I don't think there is need for long deliberation,

what I know is whoever deserves

the title should be strong

capable with many soldiers

After Apetu

who is big and has been holding forth

I don't see any other person worthy

the title of JAGUNASO

Like what please?

Like a wife,

any man that can control his wife

has wisdom and capacity to win wars

Meaning,

we must be married first

before coming to contest?

YES!!!

Mother you said yes too?

YES!!!

Why?

You that can't control your own house

want to control the entire town

What does having a wife or not

to do with the running of the town?

Has a whole lot to do with it

Don't you know

women test your character

teaches you wisdom?

Who has wisdom

to run his house

can run the entire town also

You that does not have a wife at home

want to go and represent your fathers household

I will marry but it not yet time

not yet time

Yes

Please tell me when will it be?

Mother

When I find a woman

woman strong

woman strong

and worthy of my love,

that is when I will marry

No problem

It is okay

Thank you Ma

Do you know if you loose this title

now you are next in line?

but listen

this title JAGUNASO

is not one you get until whoever holds it dies

If I understand what you are saying,

I may never attain the post until the holder dies?

EXACTLY!

My name is Arogba

swallower of a thousand bullet

SELF EULOGY

I did not know you

but heard of your exploits

you are said to be very strong

you are said to be vast in sword and knives

Until I came face to face with you justifies that

the tales about you

Look at me Arogba,

I won't say too much ,

I want to marry you

You want to marry you?

Yes

And if I say I won't marry you?

You won't say so

Look into my eyes

We are both strong warriors

Let us join forces

and copulate to bear strong children

let me marry you

we will be stronger together

Are you capable?

Capable?! Of course I am

Check me out

I am strong

and capable and also have soldiers

I am in love with you Arogba

Marry me

I like you

ADIKAKA EULOGY

Please sit

Thank you

Placeholder

please tell her why we are here

Apajuba is belittling

me and wants to cheat me...

Sees me as placeholder

and want to oppress me

He wants to usurp with force

my peoples cocoa and kolanut farms

We came to seek you help

in stopping this from happening

You begged him and he refused to yield?

He refused

He said after the 20days

heads will roll if he sights anybody

either of the cocoa or kolanut farms

He probably feels he has power

someone is backing him

See great one,

this Apajuba

is quite powerful

and has many soldiers and very wicked

He is quite powerful and very wicked

No problem,

we shall see,

he will face the consequences

it's because of his kind that I am strengthened,

I will fight your fight

But you should know

nothing goes for nothing

No problem, we came prepared great one

whatever it takes

I don't answer who didn't call me

Except God decides to take the life of the betrayer

and command me to keep them in my custody

The report on Iyalode

isn't a lie

Her atrocities are quite much.

Let's leave it there

What did Iyalode say?

The man doesn't want to die,

he is being smart

Your majesty!!!

May you live long!!!

Iyalode overstepped,

what her father dare not say she said it to us

To me?

Yes your majesty

She said

you are only king within your palace

you can give order however you want...

...likewise her,

where she is she can give order as she want..

...everyone bears their fathers title

that's the message

that's the message she said we should deliver to you

With her mouth there?

She said it I quoted her

You are sure it actually Iyalode you saw?

It is her

Iyalode in person?

That's how surprise we were when we got there

if you were there you would wonder if this

is the same person you conferred the title to

It's situation like this,

that you teach a child difference in good and bad

Yes your majesty

Your majesty

do it, let her know you are king

Let her know the king is

the mouthpiece of God

Look henceforth Iyalode is cursed

Let her be cursed

YOUR MAJESTY!!!

INCANTATION!!!

Henceforth shame shall be her portion and to it shall be!!!

Say amen!

GOD ALMIGHTY!

Wait, what did your elder sister do

to you to deserve such atrocity

What are you saying,

EULOGY

MY CREATOR!

So I will die not fulfilling my goals

So this post is just mere words for me

I have been living a worthless life

My only hope is now dead

I am emptied

I have fought many wars

where they wanted to cut off my head

but they could not

I have fought where the earth wanted to swallows

my enemies were swallowed

...any hunter who doubts himself

will die in the forest

Ashabi’s mother,

have faith in me,

you will be mother to Iyalode

When?

which day?

I said which year?

Ashabi...

is it now that all is lost...

And I said it...

Ashabi I warned you enough...

...told you not to go to war

...you said when you are done...

...we will talk..

...is this the talk?

Ashabi is this the talk?

My head

...this child has cause me to lose this title

Ashabi’s mother...

Don't call me again

Don't call me again please

Call yourself

Leave me be to the gods

Quite unfortunate

You wait for me here

OLUREBI!

Crown prince of Osunsoko

Homage to the one with long hand

Homage to the one with long leg

Homage to the ones who owns the night

I am here seeking you

Thank you

Welcome our child!

greetings on your earthly journey

and welcome back from earth to Iwarun

Look, you caused it

How?

You abandon all your gods

because you want to go to your town

There is no place hidden from God Almighty

Why?

Why did you abandon your mothers statue

that you clothes?

...because you want to go and see your mother

...you have forgotten the statue is one of your gods

Yes

Nonetheless

What you came for is possible

Because this is where you got your knowledge

And we brought you up

this is where you were trained

But...

Your hand will grow back...

...it will take us a lot of time

Thank you

What is chasing from my home?

If that is the case...

Dip your hand into this pot of herbs

INCANTATION!!!

My head...

My Creator!

What's left for me in this world?

What am I still waiting for?

The only person I have hope on...

...has left

...left

...left without saying goodbye

Our mother...

We told you to rest your mind

My lord went to seek solutions

Stop deceiving me

Do I look like a fool?

Don't you know

I have been on earth a while now?

I understand

It's not like that,

she wouldn't leave without telling us

When you are done

you would go back to where you came from

Are you ready to eat

so they can bring your food?

Food? Alright I am not hungry

I am not hungry just go look for my Ashabi

Help me look for my child

Help me look for my child

It's okay

Chiefs

There is something I am confused about

Truly I have wealth

...and well connected

But I am not of male descendant of Iyalodes house

We know

When an elder is running

it's either he being chased

We that are saying come take up the title of Iyalode

we know what we have seen

What did you see?

You asked rightly

Arikeola founded this town

And she was the very first Iyalode

and made her husband the king

Head of community is what were used to

she used her wealth and influence

to upgrade us to kingship

If not for her we would never near kingship

Exactly!

We would still be using community head till now

She placed a curse at the shrine of Ajobo

Yes!

Curse?

Yes a curse

As we were told in history

She cursed that it's only the reigning Iyalode

that can bring the calabash of joy to Ajobo shrine

because without the calabash of joy

the town won't experience joy

Ajobo celebration is in five days

...and we are yet to have Iyalode in position

and if we don't do the Ajobo celebration

there will be serious calamity

Can you now understand the dilemma?

INCANTATION!!!

What did you say will happen tomorrow?

My father told me

they will confer a new Iyalode tomorrow

And in five days

they will chase you out of this Iyalode abode

As you well know

a new Iyalode after conferment

this is where she will come

I shivered, where is that done?

Can't they just wait a little for Ashabi to come back

But it's not their fault

Yes, I am at fault

I cause it all

So they are coming to chase me

out of Iyalode abode?

It's alright

I have accepted my fate

Do not accept!

Let me gather people

and go and scatter the place,

let them know you don't betray your benefactor

It has not gotten to that level Abeni

Don't you know

destiny cannot be change,

I didn't understand it before

Which why I was running around to get the title

now I understand

I said yes

But the Creator said no

We should scatter the place?

There is nothing you can do

Let's leave it all to the Creator

INCANTATION!!!

Start bringing it out

Odidere beget Omiso

Agbomisun beget Atepe

Atepe beget Oduduwa

Oduduwa beget the six wizards

Three were of the chief priest

Three were of the chief gatekeeper

The remaining one is you for you the great witches

You said whatever we send you,

you will deliver

We are grateful you delivered this one completely

Big thanks to the God Almighty

Take

Go ahead try it

Our mother!

Oyedunmade!

Why did you do this?

Had you know you shouldn't have contested for the post

So we could have enjoyed together till old age

But I told you to have faith in me

I said I will be the Iyalode

Why give enemies joy?

Who do I call mother now?

Happy celebration!!!

My lord says I should let you know

there a lot to eat and drink and even takeaway.

Now

after enjoying the sango dancers

it time to bring the new wife singers

to celebrate her

Have pity on me!

Please have pity on me!

Please have pity on me!

Please for God sake!

Please have pity on me!

Have mercy on me because of God

Shut up your mouth!

Can you now understand the dilemma?

My mother called me home

to be conferred the post of Iyalode

I got home

my mother danced,

celebrated and was happy

I sacrificed my hand to prevent my town from war

I sacrificed my hand to prevent my town from war

I went back to Orishada

to mold a new hand

Before I got back home

my mother has died

The town without hesitation

went on to conferred the post behind me

Ashabi!

Ashabi

daughter of Oyedunmade Ayoka

Adikaka!

Are you a fool?

I will not take this

I will revenge

Everyone will pay

I will not take this

Ashabi! What do you want to do?

You want to destroy everything with impatience

Because of chieftaincy title

You want to tarnish you good name

Don't you know destiny cannot be changed?

Yes

Adikaka Ashabi!

Don't you know not all born to wealth becomes wealthy...

not all born in a titled house are conferred

...have you seen where two princes

are crowned same time?...

...Only the worthy is conferred

Yes!

Ashabi!

You are not destined to be conferred

with Iyalode not even in Kulende

Look here,

do not revenge

so you can avoid the wrath of God

The oracle message reads patience, Ashabi

The oracle message reads patience, Ashabi

A patient person gains a lot from the elders

Adikaka!!!
