shocked

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.

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. shocked

The gods must be crazy was not written by him but by a South African Jamie Uys. I think around 1980. He wrote the gods are not to blame.
