"Feyisetan, your husband has gone mad again" Understanding Fayose’s insensitive take on Oyo abductions~Babajide Alex Adetunji

With profound respect to the late Playwright, Ola Rotimi, whose literary works have remained a legacy decades after his death, the name of former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, should have been used as the main character in the play, Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again, instead of Major Lejoka Brown’s.

While I know that Fayose is half-educated, half-literate and probably unlikely to have read the play, Fayose should be told that his behavioural patterns and tendencies have tilted more in the direction of an individual with a periodic psychiatric challenge. I may be wrong, but Mr Fayose does have a brain touch from time to time and I think it is time that his wife, a respectable and easy-going woman, had his brain checked, or better still, called him to order. If you disagree with me, you may be right to do so, but which normal person wo...
