The Burden of Proof by IMOKHAI


The gavel of the Judge hit the table with a bang and almost immediately Law Enforcement agents surrounded Kunle forming a protective ring around him. His mother like some others in the court room was crying. The case of the Drug Pusher who volunteered to expose the Drug Barons had been very tasking for the Drug Law Agency to crack. The Judge had sentenced the three drug barons to life imprisonment. The prosecution relied so much on Kunle’s testimony to build their case. Relief was an understatement for them.
The voice of Mrs. Belema Gregson, the Attorney-General of the Federation still echoed in Kunle’s head. “Kunle, I will make you an offer. You are a bright young man and the fact that the Malaysian Government agreed to release you to us as a test case is a divine call for you to help us end this problem once and for all.” Kunle nodded. “Help me prove that you are innocent”. Who could have thought that Malaysia would agree to release Kunle to the Nigerian Government? He could still picture the face of the Immigration official at Kuala Lumpur Airport when the colour of the body scanner turned red. “Step aside Sir” That was the beginning of the torture.
The Newspaper headlines were practically screaming ‘Nigerian First Class Graduate caught with drugs at Malaysia Airport’. Mrs. Belema Gregson knew that this was one Nigerian Citizen that should not be allowed to be executed in Malaysia. What would make a First Class graduate carry drugs to Malaysia? Her motherly instincts propelled her more that her being a lawyer and with her power as the Attorney –General of the Federation, she was going to save this young Man, Kunle Ola from the hangman in Malaysia. And she did.

This Ooni of Ife and his Oloris or Oloshos should just leave the Palace and join the entertainment industry, and stop wasting their talents. Always making headlines for frivolities. Last time I checked, He was in the boxing ring, Today his wife is organizing Paegentry.
CAN'T THEY LEARN FROM THE SULTAN OF SOKOTO

You can quote me but I won't see it cos I only visit a post once.

It was Alaafin that was in the boxing ring and I don't even see how that's even any of your business... No one is begging you to acknowledge d news, u could just face ur pathetic life completely and there would be no issue.

E don de find new wife be dat. We are not a beauty paegent culture. Empower those girls and find your wife some other way

Every trifling headline nowadays always have a connection to the ooni of ife... Never in my life have i seen such busybodies..

Your tenacious unmitigated rooted bigotry has plagued you So bad that you can't distinguish between the Oni of Ife and Alafin of Oyo.

The sophisticated Yoruba tribe. Some call us afonjas, yes we are afonjas. Our head is not flat and we don't beat our flat hairy chest just to prove a point. We are set our records and we love our culture.


Omo ale olori pelebe

i will agree that afonjas love thier culture the day ooni will order every yoruba male and female to get ibadan or ogbomosho tribal marks on thier cheeks and everyone obeyed him that day i will respect afonjas with all my hart, i want to see wizkid and omotolas ibadan tribal mark

You are mixing things up,Ibdadan in Oyo state is just a segment of yoruba tribe,just as people mention afonja always,afonja was a warrior that moved to Ilorin in kwara state,not all yoruba's have tribal marks,same as with ibos,not all ibos are osu casts,hausa also have banza and real hausa,the tribes knows which is which so stop mixing things up.It is not a must to have tribal marks,mention among the present yoruba leaders anyone that has tribal marks,or are they not yoruba because they don't have tribal marks?

Flat head!! Get your facts right .cause kings are something foreign to your culture doesn't mean u should show your ignorance and myopic thinking. The king in question is not this one .what's even your business with another mans wife let alone a queen

What do you expect from Osu ibo? A man shunned by the society and dedicated to the gods.

I hope they're not bewitching people, any Christian element in the ceremonies?
