On a lovely thursday
morning-last week, my folks kept comments flowing, their eyes still affixed to the
TV. Apparently they were carried away by this Yoruba movie. I decided to join
them and while watching, something occurred to me and then I asked:”why do
Yoruba movies always have diabolical scenes?” Is it only me that has noticed that
one or more “babalawos” must be included in most Yoruba movies? No offense
Yorubas, I totally love you guys but usually, movies tend to portray the
lifestyle of a certain tribe or person and most times in Nigeria, they are true
life stories. My question is, is diabolism a lifestyle of the Yorubas? Or
should the question be is the issue of diabolism associated with the Yorubas
over flogged? In my opinion, the latter should be the right inquiry. I mean
creativity could still be displayed while speaking a true Nigerian language.
Not trying to deem little the efforts the producers and directors put but I must
say this and I guess I am speaking for you guys too-we are tired of this
storyline. Come up with new ones. Thank you.
O.k. guys, you could
say something about this too or you could say something about this blog.
*smiles*
