Ola Rotimi , exposed the evil in afonja land in his work "The gods are not to be blame"

How can afonja fugitive boy Odewale killed his father unapologetically , just to marry his mother so to pound the same toto that birthed him and he did it. What a despicable act .


Before Ola conceived this story and write it down, it was something that was rampant in afonja land.

Is such act still going on now? Please someone should tell me

You old bat

That is not true.
"The gods are not to blame" is an adaptation from the Greek play, Oedipus Rex, but rendered in an African context.
Of course, he chose to use names from his own vernacular.

The gods should not be blame when the repercussion of afonjas foolishnes and stupidity come knocking. Such happen again,when they all voted in Buhari, Buhari brothers dealt with them seriously, till they all scamper to Benin republic. Should the gods be blame? No.

It's obvious, you can't buy brain!

Pele10:
The gods are to be blame that this coutary is blessed with so much talents,and caused with bad leaders.

Are the gods to be blamed also for this wrong use of word in bold thereby distorting the intention in the context? I should be cursed

gods are not to blame such year
Chai!!!

Madam na novel ..
Nawaoo, the book might be fiction self..
Calm down and celebrate the genius of the man.
Just because that other Igbo writer that wrote things fall apart, wrote that okonwo, killed some one who called him father's does that mean Igbo men are killers

Playwright, please.

What's playwrighter?

I know Nigeria is a real big deal on the internet. I bet we are the highest consumer of Google. Who is really to blame for Nigeria's situation.

I know we will be great.
Don't get it twisted, our past and present Democrazy clamouring leaders have failed us.

We will come out Big.

Dorwadora:
Our husband has gone mad again still remain my best Africa drama comedy... I always laugh out loud while reading the book.

I swear, especially Lejoka-Brown and Polycarp

Very correct. It is an adaptation

Counterfeit:
I read one of his books, The Gods must be crazy, in my secondary school days, 1986.

It is actually "The gods must be ment"

The gods should not be blame when the repercussion of afonjas foolishnes and stupidity come knocking. Such happened again,when they all voted in Buhari just to spite the south southerners and south easterners, but Buhari brothers came and dealt with them seriously, till they all scamper to Benin republic. Should the gods be blame for this? No.

Be calming down. The gods are not to blame was an adaptation of Oedipus Rex.

Lejoka-Brown the politician who couldn't put his house in order. The book actually portray many things that are not even comedy. Example is the disadvantages of westernization in Africa culture. But all in all.... Its a great book.

I celebrate my Yoruba side, y'all are the light of this dead country.
Just try to be on your own, stop allowing junior Iran and mini Mexico pull you down.
You can do it!!!!

Nigeria don't have a platform to remember this man but a foreigner remembered him.. thanks to Google.

Aunty from an illiterate and ignorant peoples, it is based on popular greek mythology; it is not our story....imagine Superman in ankara.

I read his book, The Gods Are Not To Blame, in school.

Your tears have just started...

Nothing like celebrating Ola Rotimi with a Doodle by Google here in Malaysia.

He has been called "a complete man of the theatre[2] – an actor, director, choreographer and designer – who created performance spaces, influenced by traditional architectural forms.

Abeg op, and the moderators, I think you wanted to right 'Playwright' and not 'Playwrighter'

Please my brothers in west side let's amend our ways.

Hire sense please. Ola Rotimi did not conceive the story. He copied it from an old Greek play called "Antigone" ,and he replicated the story in African setting.

OP, this is a post celebrating a literary icon, such blunder will not be permitted.

Go and change the subject, the word is "Playwright" and not "Playwrighter".

Thank you as you do so.

Oh! I remember "The beautiful ones are not yet born", literature in English.
