MadamVanessa:Olodo ignoramus. It was an adaptation of the Greek classic Oedipus Rex, the story centres on Odewale, who is lured into a false sense of security, only to somehow get caught up in a somewhat consanguineous trail of events by the gods of the land. 1 Like |

I love Ola Rotimi. There is no way you will read his work and you you will not be inspired. He was a fantastic thinker and writer. |

MadamVanessa:Tribalistic bigot Ola Rotimi's work was an excellent fiction. Did you read the book at all? The story wasn't even his originally But the storyline is that of a prince who was prophecised to kill his father and marry his mother of which he was sent out of the village to avert such. Unfortunately events played out as such. He ended up killing his father whom he didn't know was his father and then married his mother whom he also didn't know too After the revelation, he exiled himself I think Anyways, if not because you're dumb, you'd attribute a fiction to be a true life story and bash a whole tribe based on it ba?? Nice meeting your tribalistic self 3 Likes |

obedience4: Agreed, in most of my talks here you would see my complaints about current gen, we honor and gratify nonsense, the doctor who made sure ebola didn't spread much has been forgotten, but we are reminded always of mercy and other big brother items, artist that have promoted moral decadence, so many irrelevant frivolities, some blame youtube and social media algorithm, in china, mental prowess is favoured over twerking but here and a lot of youthful nations.... Na kayamata, korra and jena we go de discuss, no wonder when other youth are discussing investments.. Nigerian youth are discussing ways to borrow from fenmoney and other loan apps. 1 Like 1 Share

MadamVanessa: It is The Gods Are Not To Blame". And it is an adaptation of a Greek tragedy by Sophocles titled Oedipus Rex. 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 . It is not an original Yoruba story. When you will not read, why will you not be so ignorant? Before Ola conceived this story and write it down, it was something that was rampant in afonja land. Oedipus complex is not rampant anywhere in the world. Stop spewing rubbish!!! 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. You failed to get the whole message of that beautiful play. I am sorry for you!!! |

PointZerom: Even the Gods Are Not To Blame was not originally his work; it was just an adaptation of a Greek play written many centuries ago. You can check out the play "Oedipus Rex" on Google. He was a great playwright though. 1 Like |
