CONVERSATION BETWEEN MAMA H.I.D AWOLOWO AND PROF. OSINBAJO AND WIFE(Granddaughter of Awolowo) (Copied)

Mama: You children of today, you never learn from history. Especially those of you born in South-West. You brought my granddaughter here so that I can bless your mutual ambition with General Buhari? Abi beko? And she agreed to follow you like cow.

Osinbajo: Be ni o Mummy.

Granddaughter: Be ni o Mummy. You are right, but I am not a cow.

Mama: You shut up. Let me finish. Omo ko mo. If not because of you, a man eating from the same plate with an agent of darkness would not have the audacity to first take you, my granddaughter, as his wife and then even crucify our family by accepting to deputise a man who punished and almost killed your grandfather for nothing.

Granddaughter: Mummy the man have changed o. Buhari have change. Let's not personalise issues o.

Osinbajo: Yes, mummy. Buhari is a changed man.

Mama: Yes, I know. He changed to APC. He is no longer in CPC. He is always changing before every election. And we must not personalise issues. But your party personalised its presidential candidacy? Is it not so? What is wrong with Fashola being your presidential candidate? Would heaven fall?

Osinbajo: Mummy that is not what we meant.

Mama: Ok o. Sorry, it is my mistake. So if Hitler had changed from military man to civilian, the world would have forgiven him for gassing the Jews

Granddaughter: Mummy haba. How can you compare Hitler with Buhari?

Mama: Why not? Ok, again I ask, if Idi Amin had changed from military to civilian, the Ugandans would have allowed him contest to be their president?

Granddaughter: Otio o. Buhari is not like Hitler and Idi Amin. Buhari's driver and cook are real born-again Christians o.

Osinbajo: Even his daughter is married to a Christian from Anambra state. She even converted to Christianity after the marriage and her father never objected.

Mama: And what is that his in-law's name?

Osinbajo: It is confidential, Mama. Nobody knows but we are sure it is true. They cannot lie over such issues. Abi darling?

Granddaughter: Yes love.

Mama: So if Hitler's driver and cook were Jewish, the world could have forgiven him? Is that the change both of you want for Nigeria?

Granddaughter: Yes mummy that is the kind of change we are talking about.

Osinbajo: Mummy please forgive and forget. That is what the Bible says. Buhari is now a changed man and he represents the type of change Nigerians are yearning for.

Mama: Ok o. I forgive and forget like you both are forcing me to. I am an old woman and I do not have strength to argue. But, I will give you prayers that befit your ambition.

Granddaughter: Thank you Mummy.

Mama: Before I start the prayer, I need to ask you this question.

Osinbajo: We are all ears mama. Go on please.

Mama: If Benjamin Netanyahu's granddaughter brings someone working directly with Hitler home to be blessed by Netanyahu, what do you think would happen?

Granddaughter: Ah Mummy that is not possible except that granddaughter is sick upstairs to forget history.

Mama: But that is what you have just done. In organised countries that man Buhari cannot vote, not to talk of contesting in a democratic set-up. Anyone at all is better than Buhari because he does not believe in democracy. He is the only coup plotter still alive in Nigeria today who killed democracy. Buhari does not believe in human right. He is just looking for power to use against his enemies. The man creates enemies so that he can have people to destroy. And I can see that your husband is the next to be destroyed.

Granddaughter: Mummy, please forget about the past and let us move on to change.

Mama: Ok o. If you say so. Close your eyes and let us pray. May he put your husband in jail for committing no crime

Granddaughter: Haba Mummy. Put my husband in jail? How can I survive without my husband around me even for one night?

Mama: Do not worry, you will survive, I survived it when Buhari did it to me. May he ransack your house looking for nothing in particular.

Osinbajo: Mummy please do not say this kind of prayer for your children.

Mama: May he punish you like Jolaoso to the extent that you would lose your sight.

Osinbajo: Mummy this is not prayer. You are cursing me ke. Haba. Mo ta ka seyin. Akoba adaba, Olorun ma je a ri.

Mama: God will let you see this o. May he keep you in jail even when the courts give verdict that you are innocent like he did to Pa Ajasin, Jakande, Babatope, Ekwueme, Mbakwe, and so many others.

Granddaughter: Mummy this is not what we asked for. You are cursing us instead of praying for us.

Mama: May he instruct the judge to jail you even when innocent like he did to Fela.

Osinbajo: Darling let us go. This is getting out of hand. Mama is cursing me. I do not deserve this.

Mama: Cursing you? Hmn. I have not finished yet. This last prayer is too harsh but since you both want prayers, you shall have it. May he kill your loved ones like he killed Bartholomew and co. even when the whole world begged him not to.

Osinbajo: This is enough. I cannot take it any longer. I am out of here
