HISTORY OF MOREMI AJASORO, THE HEROINE OF LIBERTY!
MOREMI AJASORO: HEROINE OF LIBERTY
The Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom in Ilaje area of Ondo State, Oba Obateru Akinruntan has of recent been distorting history and fanning the ember of enmity among the Yoruba Obas and the Yoruba nation at large. Sadly, the same Olugbo is the chairman of an amorphous body that goes by the name ‘Yoruba Obas Committee on Peace and Reconciliation’.
The Olugbo has repeatedly referred to Moremi as a traitor against her widely acclaimed tag as a heroine of liberty. I have taken it upon myself to put the record straight and lay same bare before the court of public opinion to judge whether Moremi was a traitor as Oba Akinruntan claimed or a heroine as the world has come to accept her.
The abridged history of Moremi will suffice here.
Moremi Omowumi Ayoka Okin, was born in Offa as a princess (and this is my locus stance). She grew up in Offa to become a ravishingly beautiful young lady who later got married to Ooni Oranmiyan of Ile Ife. As a result of her beauty and astuteness, she soon became the Aayo (Queen Consort) of Ooni Oranmiyan and the only one who had his ears on vital issues about the kingdom.
During her stay in Ile-Ife, the ancient city was incessantly raided by a group of warriors who were believed to be from the outer space. This was as a result of their weird dressing as they were usually cladded in dried raffia fronds from head to toes. On each occasion, these warriors carted away food items, materials, and humans as slaves. These unrelenting raids on the ancestral home of the Yoruba was giving King Oranmiyan (himself a renowned warrior) a grave concern. Queen Moremi noticed this mood swing of her husband and asked him why he was brooding endlessly of recent. King Oranmiyan told her it was these mysterious raiders that were giving him serious concern. Queen Moremi instantly decided to do all within her power to restore her husband’s happy mood.
She went to consult the goddess of River Esinmirin (still in Ile-Ife) and made a vow that if she could be granted the power to overcome the mysterious invaders, she was ready to sacrifice anything the goddess of Esinmirin demanded. The goddess told her to allow herself to be captured when next the invaders come around. As instructed, on the next invasion by the mysterious invaders, Moremi unlike the rest of the inhabitants deliberately allowed herself to be captured by the invaders and taken as a slave to their place which turned out to be Ugbo (the home of Oba Akinruntan).
Upon setting his eyes on the war booties, the then reigning Olugbo of Ugbo could not take his eyes off the paragon of beauty that was Moremi. He subsequently decreed that she be handed over to him as a wife. Moremi became the Olugbo’s wife and soon got elevated as the Queen Consort in the Olugbo’s palace. During a moment of passion, Moremi craftily told the Olugbo that she was enjoying everything about her new home except the dreadful warriors especially the way they dressed. The lecherous Olugbo told Moremi that the warriors were merely cladded in dried raffia fronds which were highly combustible.
After this all important disclosure, Moremi surreptitiously plotted her escape back to Ile-Ife. She immediately revealed the secret to her original husband, Oranmiyan and some elders of Ile-Ife. The entire Ile-Ife folks then mobilised and strategized against the next invasion of the marauders who were now known to be coming from Ugbo land. As envisaged, the Ugbo invaders came calling again in their usual raffia fronds attire and Moremi leading the Ile-Ife people carried firebrands made of Oguso (a highly combustible by-product of palm kennel). The Ugbo warriors were attacked and quite a number of them were burnt to death. The remnants that escaped to Ugbo land narrated their experience of the unprecedented defeat and the fact that it was the missing queen of Olugbo that led the counter-attack. In any case, that was the end of the Ugbo invasion of Ile-Ife.
The Ugbo people were devastated on the number of casualty suffered and the fact that their King must have revealed their secret to his consort. It was then decreed that it has become a taboo for any Ugbo man to marry any fair complexion lady as a result of the Moremi experience with the Olugbo.
Back in Ile-Ife, while the euphoria of the defeat of the Ugbo invaders was still going on, the goddess of Esinmirin demanded that Moremi should fulfil her vow as made before embarking on the mission to Ugbo land. Moremi offered animals, foods, and other items but Esinmirin rejected all. The only sacrifice Esinmirin wanted was Moremi only child and son Ela Oluorogbo. She eventually sacrificed him to the Esinmirin goddess in fulfilment of her vow. In appreciation, the entire Ile-Ife promised to be her children and fill the gap of the sacrificed Ela Oluorogbo.
However, the other queens in the palace mocked Moremi as being childless to spite her for taking much of their husband’s attention. In anger, Moremi came to Offa to meet her father who was the reigning Olofa then. She got to Offa at dusk when the Olofa had retired and could no longer receive visitors to the palace. The guards could not recognise her (apparently due to her disguise to escape from Ile-Ife palace) and instructed her to wait at the palace gate till dawn when the Olofa would see her. She insisted on entering the palace but the guards stood their grounds. In frustration, she walked few meters away from the palace gate and put her luggage beneath the Araba tree.
By the morning of the following day, the Olofa was informed of the strange female visitor that came the previous night and the king asked that she should be brought before him. However, when the guards went to fetch the visitor, Moremi could not be found. Only her luggage was brought before Kabiesi and he instantly recognised them to be Moremi’s own. The spot where she left her luggage was where the original Moremi’s house was erected directly opposite the Olofa’s Palace.
Moremi was never seen again in Offa or at Ile-Ife. The probability of her disappearance was that she eventually ended up with her beloved son Ela Oluorogbo in the same River Esinmirin. To commemorate her heroic actions, she is celebrated annually in Offa as ONIMOKA and three months after in Ile-Ife as EDI where the people carry the symbolic firebrand.
Having taken readers through this abridged historical excursion, can the role of Moremi be tagged as that of a traitor or a heroine?
In the first place, she allowed herself to be captured solely to liberate her people which she achieved. An apt but sad similitude is this – if the federal government of Nigeria could get a lady to ‘marry’ Abubakar Shekau today and that leads to some tactical information to wipe out the remnants of the Boko Haram insurgents, would such a lady be a villain or a heroine?
I leave the readers to form their opinion on this.

PEN!
FOR JUSTICE!
IN AN UNJUST SOCIETY, SILENCE IS A CRIME!
The season is here again, the season of LOVE AND BLESSINGS, the season which is meant for showing Love to our loved ones. The season of the remembrance of our Lord and saviour JESUS CHRIST who died on the cross of Calvary and rose again before elevating to the Heavens. The season when we remember how he (Jesus ) Took away with him our SINs.
Let's remember as we are celebrating this Christmas that this Christmas is not meant for JUBILATIONS, BLOWING OF FIREWORKS (BANGER), FILLING THE TABLE WITH ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, ATTENDING PARTIES OR CLUBS, SL UTTERING OF INNOCENT CHICKENS OR LIVESTOCK, VISITING BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND, ENGAGING IN ONE OR THE OTHER SINFUL ACT, Let's remember we said Jesus died all because of our sins,so in order to appreciate what he has done and suffered for ,let's make this Christmas a HOLY DAY.
Let's share with those that don't have, we having is not by our power or might, but God's destiny. Let's show love and unity to our brothers, when I say brothers, am not saying Christian Brothers but all relations both Muslim And Christian because we are all worshiping the same person Called GOD. Let's throw away discrimination because it's one of the agents that's tearing us apart in this beautiful NATION.
In this manner I SENATOR, EDITOR, REPTOR, OWODUNNI LUKMON OLAYINKA (LYRICAL ) THE VICE PRESIDENT SPECIAL DUTY OF SOSSAN DEPARTMENT, A VIBRANT STAKEHOLDER AT YORUBA LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT AND THE GENERAL SECRETARY OF CAMPUSECHOE SCHOOL PRESS, HEREBY ON BEHALF OF ALL ECHOEITES ,IS SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL CHRISTIAN COMRADES AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE TO ALL COEDITES..

Dear NAPSS students,
I heartily rejoice with all NAPSSITES,
particularly our Christian brothers and
sisters, on this year's celebration of the birth
of Jesus Christ.
As we celebrate this year’s Christmas, I
believe that it is very appropriate for us to
reflect on the love of God aptly espoused in
the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ.
During his earthly sojourn, Jesus Christ
repeatedly reminded his disciples and
followers of peace that comes in the midst of
trials and tribulations on earth.
I assure all NAPSSITES that our administration is
doing its best to contribute positively to development of the department.
Let us therefore, renew our hope in the God-ordained unity, progress and prosperity of
our great Department.
I wish all travellers safe movements and a
memorable holiday as we celebrate with our
family and friends.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
SEN. HAROON SULYMAN
NAPSS President 2016/2017

Gone are the days when this things are valuables and instruments of fun to every kid..
Let's start from the 1st pic, the icon there is made of paper,and it is wrapped into many folds before getting to that stage, its being held with four fingers because its having 4 triangular sides, secretly some sentences are being written in it while the outer layer will just be numbered and designed with different types of colours with the help of what we call crayon then. Once you pick a number the paper will be unfolded and whatever is written underneath that number will be read to you as your wish.. It's fun isn't it? www.campusechoe.blogspot.com
The second pics is a VHS CASSETTE, it's rectangular in shape and it has a tape rolled in it, this tape is where the video we are to watch is saved, it has a console which is also called VIDEO PLAYER, the console has the rewind and forward feature,also the cassette has another tool being used for faster forward or rewind because when you finished watching the movie in it, you have to rewind the tape in it for the next person to watch. Fun isn't it?
www.campusechoe.blogspot.com
The third pic is a TV SET, this are the first set of television with high level of security, it is big in shape and it's just like the PLASMA TV we are using now because it also has that 3D feature,but this TV doesn't uses remote control, you have to tune it till you get to the next station, it has the LOCK feature that you can lock it and no one would have access to it until you are back.. It has a screen cover made with wood ,when you wish to lock it, you will just draw the covers together then put padlock or lock it with normal lock key, the roof is as big as you can use it as a shelf or table then place whatever you wish on it. Fun isn't it?
www.campusechoe.blogspot.com
Now the Fourth pic is what we call Game console, wao! I save my feeding allowance to get one then ,its of different sizes,shapes and even types,
There is nothing like PSP or PS2,3,4 then this console is all we have to play, it uses battery and has games like car races,shooting games, brick game, snake and lots more..it's fun isn't it?
And the last pic we have there is what we call ROBOT CHEWING GUM, this chewing gum I don't think still exist again, this chewing gum then is always sold at the rate of 5 for 5naira ,the wrapper is blue nd white with red touches, it only has banana flavor, it's reddish in color and the wrapper do have series of questions or discoveries in it which when you turn it upside down you will find the answers there.its fun isn't it?

Dear Technical Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to
Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow
down in overall system performance —
particularly in the flower and jewelry
applications, which operated flawlessly under
Boyfriend 5.0. The new program also began
making unexpected changes to the
accounting modules.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many
other valuable programs, such as Romance
9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then
installed undesirable programs such as NFL
5.0, NBA 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and
Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these
problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate
——————————————————–
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an
Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is
an Operating System.
Please enter the command: I THOUGHT YOU
LOVED ME” and try to download Tears 6.2 and
don’t forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed,
Husband 1.0 should then automatically run
the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse of the above
application can cause Husband 1.0 to default
to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer
6.1.
Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will
download the Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-
law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that
will eventually seize control of all your system
resources).
Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend
5.0 program. These are unsupported
applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program,
but it does have limited memory and cannot
learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional
software to improve memory and
performance. We recommend Food 3.0 and
Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck.
