I am not bound by the most vaunted omoluabi of the Yorubas, so I can criticise anyone that I like. You see, after watching the clip of these two fighting in an aircraft, what came to my mind hurriedly were the strong words of my classmate and great political scientist of our time, Dr Obinna Ihunna. When two people were fighting those days at the great Independence Hall of the University of Ibadan, he would fold his hands and say, “Cloth a pig, dress a pig, put a pig in fine jewellery, a pig is a pig.”
That is exactly what I will use to describe these two who threw all decorum into the air and engaged in a very shameful fight, right inside an aircraft. Following the very fine examples of their father, Kwam 1 and the bare-breasted warrior of Ibom Air fame, they went at each other with everything they had and at the end of it offered apologies while they await their certificate of ambassadorship from NCAA – that is the reward for unruly behaviour in the aviation sector.
One more thing. I hear that Mr. Jollof bit VDM. Mbok, why would a full-grown man resort to biting? If this is true, then this is double shame for Mr. Jollof because a man must take his beating with pride. Why bite? It can never be accepted, and he has, by this act, if true, brought double shame and disgrace to his people and tribe.
The last time “Gisonrin” the agbero beat me in Shomolu, I did not bite o despite the massive blows that almost fractured my skull. That is the mark of a man, not to be biting up and down simply because you are being pummelled.
Anyways, these two irritants must be made to face the full wrath of the law. After all, they are not the president’s favourite musician; they should be dealt with. Period.
