A REVIEW OF DENJA ABDULLAH’S PLAY DEATH AND THE KING’S GREY HAIR - By Olaniyi Abdulwaheed

Image
In every society, there must be a leader. A leader who is ready to refurbish the land, lead by example and abides by the laws of the society. A leader who is respected by his subjects is the one that serves the nation relentlessly and bends for the rule of law. The law of every society defines its power, culture and tradition. The uniqueness of a tradition in a particular nation is reserved in the constitution and how the people of the state respect the rule of law. When the power of a nation is given to a particular person to maintain orderliness, peace and harmony reigns if the ruler or king obeys political culture. Leaders must lead by example lest things fall apart. The play Death and the King’s Grey Hair centres around the ancestral culture of the people of Shakaga village. According to their unwritten constitution , a king rules for a short period of time, it is a taboo for him to live with signs of ageing,.The village only witnesses young kings and short reigns.

I’M BACK TO YOU - BY ADURAGBEMI BARNABAS

Mind traversed myriad levels of uncertainty Wings are weakened, my neglected home is calling Accept me in the softness of your merciful heart Let me see paradise in your angelic conversation Wounded wanderer falls at your pool for healing.

OJA ALE (Night Market) -BY BADA YUSUFF AMOO

At Oja Ale The stars, the dew, the moon Transfix into the world of darkness To give life to those that sleep at night. Their ghostly voices, calling customers of silence To purchase from them, their aged dreams The sharpness of the falling dews Interrupting the dialogues of lone traders, wiggling  Their solo hymns, without a musical instrument At Oja Ale The market of misty walls and pavements They place their dreams on their feet and hawk With their hands on the earth, their heads at the centre Some are animal likes, with perpetual tails like satyr That form coniferous lines at the centre of the crowd Strangers experience the multiple metamorphoses That makes the heads float in the waiting cloud They are not evils; they are the other side of life Bewaji, My betrothed woman, daughter of the Gods Will you accompany me to Oja Ale? To explore the pleasures of dark miseries To visit these great traders the Gods mentioned in their verse ...
