THE NEWS BROADCAST


The palmwine gourds emptied upon the broadcast of the good news.
The pots filled with 'ofe nsala' quickly sank like the Titanic.
The jaws worked at a faster pace, munching and cracking every flesh and bones of the grass-cutter.

The television screamed with its volume tuned to the highest.
The headmaster's radio squeaked from a weakened battery, blurting out the good news in between a cracked transmission.

The wares of the clothe seller was visited and carted away by the reknown thief, while she was jubilating with her infant crying loudly at her back.
The plantain seller gave the, tin carrying, mad man a hot chase after he had come to claim one head of plantain, when her back was turned on her wares in momentary.

The local champion of the wrestling contest lifted up his friend and feigned a mock move to dash him against the tree stump in jubilation.
The pretty maiden, with firm breasts in her prime, raised a victory song while her friends danced when the news reached them at the village stream where they went to wash their clothes and take their bath.

The palace clown, out of sheer joy, ran out of the 'baluwe' (bath hut) with only his loin clothe on; causing the palace guards to momentarily place him in the rust coated iron-gated prison
All to prevent the royal wives from beholding, and perhaps falling for another man since it was a reknown fact that the 'alase-ikeji-orisha' (second to the gods) was a man with a small reproductive organ who could not satisfy his wives despite marrying seven.

The chief priest hit the ground ten times with the ikenga stick, and threw the three kola pieces on the surface of the white rectangular cloth, to inquire from the gods if the news was a benevolent act from them which deserved a sacrifice in return.
The gods stayed silent for a while before uttering "NO"; they were sad because they knew that their time would soon be up and the news would result in a slow desertion of the old ways.
A trickle of old practioners would leave and the trickle would eventually result in mass desertion of the practices of offering sacrifice and cowering from the wrath of the gods.

In between the squeaking of the radio, the news continued to be sputtered by the exicted news anchor.

"The evil one is defeated: Death is swallowed up in victory"
In between the commentary, the people heard the name of their hero and saviour; JESUS
In between the jubilations, the people praised the name of their hero and saviour; JESUS
