Oh it's this guy known only for blatantly plagiarizing the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles? Happy birthday and RIP to him.

It's funny Nigerians don't know that The Gods Are Not To Blame was copied. LMAO


Oga, that's not plagiarism but an adaptation...same way Ahmed Yarima adapted William Shakespeare's Othello in his Oteolo...

Happy Posthumous Birthday Ola Rotimi although I dont agree with you on the title of your book which states that:

"The god's are not to blame"...

I still believe that:

The gods are to blame...
