He has been called "a complete man of the theatre – an actor, director, choreographer and designer – who created performance spaces, influenced by traditional architectural forms."

"The gods are not to blame" very interesting novel in my secondary school days.. This drama will forever be one of my all time favorite and not to talk of its beautiful quotes

Some proverbs i can remember after we acted the play.

It is sickness that man can cure, not death

When the frog in front falls in pit, others behind take caution

By trying often, the monkey learns to jump from tree to tree without falling.

Until the rotten tooth is pulled out, the mouth must chew with caution.

"My people. Children of our fathers. Sickness is like rain. Does the rain fall on one roof alone? No. Does it fall on one body and not on another? No. Whoever the rain sees, on him it rains. Does it not? It is the same with sickness."

hbd to him

The Gods are not to blame

Now

The Gods are to Blame

You cannot avert your destiny

You will kill your father and marry your mother and it came to pass

The gods are not to blame still remains one of my favourite African novel till date

Buhari is not 2b blame.

D chicken eats corn, drinks water, swallow pebbles yet complains of having no teeth. If she had teeth, won't she eat gold? Let's ask d cow day has teeth yet eat only grass!

Ola Rotimi....men like these made me fall in love with literature..
"It is always best to keep your words soft and sweet, you might never know when you'd have to eat them"
"Kola nut indeed, last longer in the mouth of the one who cherish it".
"Is it not ignorance that makes the rat attack the cat?"
"The toad likes water, but not when the water is boiling"
My people. Children of our fathers. Sickness is like rain. Does the rain fall on one roof alone? No. Does it fall on one body and not on another? No. Whoever the rain sees, on him it rains. Does it not? It is the same with sickness."
"The horn cannot be too big for the cow to carry on it's head"
True African proverbs.
Rest on Sir.

the book "Gods are not to blame" is a plagiarized version of the Greek mythological story of Oedipus who killed his father and married his mother. Originality is always an issue.

OK
