Breaking the cage but not demolition; Ile Arugbo and the laughter of the heavenly on ignoranimus – eniyan to f’oju epuro wo orunmila ma go o!
By Bisi Krietien
I wake up to a laughable story this morning; KWSG demolished Ile Arugbo then I seek for the motive behind the aggression.
Since I am not born by a fool to believe in the vague excuse given by the state to the reasons for this rushing for demolition; I was left we no option than to be considering all facts.
Could it be vendetta? It may be but seriously; vendetta need not be so cluelessly constructed because it will be counterproductive.
Is it just in pursuance of ridiculing Baba Saraki’s name? Yea it could be but already it is just been established that the name can’t be ridiculed and the attempt is a political suicide.
The only near to good explanation is mere showing of muscle which is too mean a method in Kwara politic that has grown huge; somehow unwise for the knowledgeable to do.
Then what could it be?
Then an idea came to me; the story of a man who felt offended by Orunmila the God of divinity!
The man felt Ifa should be destroyed for offending him went straight to the deity pot that contain the Palm Kernel that represented Orunmila and started breaking it.
People accosted him and asked what he think he is doing; he told them he has killed Orunmila.
Then people laughed as I am laughing this morning and ask the man as I am asking those demolishing Ile Arugbo; so by breaking the Palm Kernel in Ifa Pot, you thought you have killed Orunmila?
I am now of understand these people believe Baba Saraki is controlling Kwara by a Spirit they believe is in Ile Arugbo and by destroying Ile Arugbo they have killed the Spirit.
But, he who view Orunmila from the side of Palm Kernel is the fool; what an IGNORANIMUS step?
Sorry for those who may not have place to meet for a while and congratulations to KWSG for successfully demolition if the building.
But going by what I just suspect may be the reason for the demolition of Ile Arugbo which is to Kill the Spirit with which Baba Saraki controls Kwara; *it can only mean the Spirit need more modern and spacious well ventilated Hall to dwell and Dr. Bukola Saraki should quickly build that.*
It is behind the dead that they break Calabash and if snake shed not its skin; no man gathered it.
Let the lovers of Saraki contribute money and build a modern hall and call it new Ile Arugbo which they will invite Gov. Abdulrahman Abdukrasaq to open soon.
But for the Assumed Destroyed it is the ordained Breaking of the Cage for it to fly high….
I was never of the thinking of such before…. but now I can feel strongly the aura of the …. set loose….
….the riddle of 1979 – 2019 is 40 and if you know, you know but you should have leave that in its cage; now the heavenly is laughing?
…now, the error….?
Congratulations Boda Bukola if you are somewhere there and can decode?
Still in the mood of New Year Celebration and just passing by gently ….
