ALARINJO,

I TRIED POSTING IT TO YOUR WEB BUT DIDNT GET THRU SO I DECIDED TO SEND IT HERE . I WILL LOVE YOUR REPLY TO BE POSTED HERE.

FẸLẸMU

The story is about a man called Felemu who was brought up without silver spoon. The only thing he was used to in his childhood was to follow his father to the yam and cassava farm which was about 8 kilometers from their house. Felemu though born to a hardworking father was very lazy and all he did in the farm was to yarn, pick snails and roast yams. He never new how to make heaps or clear grasses.

When he was 8 years old, the mother, Ijaduola gave birth to a baby girl called Adunni. In the course of the birth of the new born baby, the father Adebiyi went to the farm but never returned. He was swallowed by a python.

Adebiyi being the only source of providing income for the family, left the family in a state of sorrow and confusion after his death. Ijaduola was on the verge of committing suicide when a neighbour came to her rescue and promised to know whether her misdenomous will end very soon by taken her to the Ifa priest who said “ awon omo re yoo se orire ni aipe jojo. Sugbon oni lati ni suuru. Nnkan soso ti o ko gbodo se nipe o ko gbodo fe oko miran tabi kiwon su o ni opo.”

Since Felemu has no flair for farming, He decided to join a group of hunting team though the mother never supported the idea. It was through the help of the extended family and hospitable neighbours that allowed them to even live from hand to mouth.

In couple of years, disturbance came from the in-laws family that Ijaduola must be married to Adebiyi’s younger brother and aside that the leader of the hunting group is disturbing Felemu to talk to his mother to marry him since he is a divorcee. When the problem was too much for her, she has to move out of the turn of Jakumo with har daughter.


After several sub themes, the story ended that a new king was on the throne in the town and told all those in exiles to return home. Ijaduola returned with a baby boy and girl together with Adduni from an unknown husband and Felemu,s life is really frustrated because he remained a least hunter and no other work.
The town history was traced and it was discovered that Adebiyi, Adeoba and Obaboloye were the fouder of the town and it was agreed to rotate kingship among the 3 families but due to old age Adebiyi who was the great grand father of Felemu died and the other 2 families conspired together to rule out the Adebiyis.
Felemu was invited to the throne after the death of the king and he was told he would be the next king if only he has no step brother from the parents. Alas the mother has provided one already. In a bid to settle things, Ijaduola called Felemu and Adunni who left the town the same time the mother did and said the only solution out of the problem is to refer to the babies as her grand children from Adduni.
The did was done and Felemu was unknowingly made a king of the town of Jakumo without respect to the gods. Will the gods sleep?
Lets watch out!!!

Please Mr. Alarinjo, help screen the script and see if it will be alright for the opera or other things.

Even if I wont use this script, I will like to do other works with you because I saw a verve in you.

Orikinla,
Really appreciate you for setting more drive in me. Making me know I can do.

Alarinjo,
i really appreciate your sense of humor and understanding. I belief there is sometin we can still do to revive the conventional theatre. Well i'll love workin wit matured minds like you. Shd i post the synopsis of the opera here or your blog?

Actually, every one is always a thomas when it comes to issues like this. We tend to believe in impossibilities. Well if there are better ways of letting the world know about our virtues, i will like to know!
