Ore mi sun mo ibi.

Let me tell you of a woman I know.
Let my fingers point out the sigidi (statue) of the person who refused to listen to instruction.
Let me tell you of a woman who valued her ofi more than her ori.
Of a 'mama di mama' who clung on to her gold like a drunk holds on to his drink.
Of a socialite who valued the company of her friends more than her own life.
Of a woman who dared to look back when Edumare was passing through in majestic form.

Iyawo Lot ni o.
Lot's wife was the one who dared to gbe na woju ekun.
Lot's wife was the one that loved the taste of the pomegranates of Sodom.
Lot's wife was the hypocritical one that loved the sights within the bathhouses of that damned nation.
Lot's wife was the one whose heart was firmly rooted within the fertile ground of that sin city.
Lot's wife was the one that went with the jailer when the time for reckoning came.

Baba mi e sun mo ibi ki e mu ijoko.
(My father's, come closer and take a seat on the stool)

Let me tell you of a man I know.
Let my fingers point to the corpses of two children that were his
Let me tell you of a man who valued his position more than his children
Of a man who valued the hustle more than the people he was hustling for.
Of a man who pulls a disappearing act at the time when his child needs the rod.
Of a man whose nickname was 'Alhaji kowope' (My money must be complete)
Of a man who proved too much of a weakling in his own home.

Eli ni o.
Eli was the one who took up his sons to be sacrificed on the altar of indiscipline.
Eli was the hypocritical one who pretended to be blind to his sons actions.
Eli was the one whose cassava plants were being eaten by the goats he led in.
For he had refused to close the gates of his residence.
Eli was the one whose sons paid a steep price for daring to be stumbling blocks to Olorun Israeli ti kii sun (God of Isreal that does not sleep)
