NFOBIƐLOO?, YAKATSWAA!

As kids we used to play a game of chance called mifobiɛ loo. This play requires a minimum of 6 or 7 players to hold their hands to form a circular human chain. One person would position himself in the middle of the human chain.

Then the game begins with the person at the centre of circle forcing to break free by using his two hands to try to break the human chain. Each time he takes a strike he will yell the interrogative: 'nfobiɛloo?" (meaning is there a weak link here where l can gain my freedom?)

Then the human chain will retort defiantly:"yakatswaa!" (meaning this is a fruitless attempt).
Shakespeare brilliantly captured this type of fruitless attempt in his famous play called the TEMPEST by making an allusion to "a drowning man clutching at straw".

This year the desperados went to the High Court to seek an injunction on Teshie Homowo 2025. For 4 times their applications were thrown out. They tried LEKMA too but they were bounced off because the LAW IS THE LAW IS THE LAW.

Then they hired landguards to assassinate the sovereign of the land during an industrial tour. Gbetsoolo escaped unscathed. Now they have ignited a press war on OBONU FM. No problem. We shall meet them boot for boot and beat them at their game.

Tomorrow is GBƐMLILAA and they have started chanting "NFOBIƐLOO"?

And the combined voices of Teshimei and the state security apparatus are yelling loud and clear "YAKATSWAA!!!"
