The Demystification of Baba Alatika by Omo Alatika from Mogadishu

Every day for the bully, one for the one at the receiving end.

That’s an improvised African proverb. Isn’t it?

Yes,it is.

Can you indulge us with the original,unadulterated proverb.

The Ngbati Ngbati one that I can easily recall may not be quite edifying to espouse in the prevailing circumstance lest the unhinged AVENGER demands our skull with which to take his early morning heavily laced coffee.

So, which other African proverb is similar or equivalent to the Ngbati Ngbati one?

That’s a good question. What kind of skull do you want in ILE’KU (House of Death) that you are seeking and which will not be available there? Is it dry one or fresh or “ofooro” (par boiled)? Proverbs boku for our native tongue. How many Bellos do you want to count in Ilorin. Dem boku. Well well.

So which one fit be acting deputy chief proverb for this instance?

Well, my Okoro friend for Facebook don talk am before, before say if a hungry man sees a Kilimanjaro heap of garri in the backyard of “baba olowo” and begins dey thief am small small with a tea cup everyday and thinks the heap of garri no dey reduce in size,na lie. As the hungry man dey thief am small  small , one day the heap go reduce to the point that the baba olowo go feel  say there is something wrong and wants to  do something about it…

Sorry to cut you short. Will it be better to just say if you push “ewure is a goat” too much against the wall the ewure will have no choice but to fight back?

Haha, look at this man? O my gosh! That’s the kind of proverb I have been  looking for since morning to discuss the matter of the Mogadishu refugee girl in America who has been taunted and tormented by the world’s number 1 bully since she dared claim her First Amendment constitutional right of freedom of expression to say her mind as a citizen, whether naturalized or artificialised. Thank you my brother for bailing me out of the County Jail of memory loss. The insults were just too much. He called her a bitch from the stinking hell of Mogadishu.

You mean Somalia?

Look at you! What’s the difference between Abuja and Nigeria? Are they not the same? Abuja is Nigeria, Nigeriais Abuja. “Disamutini ni”.

So Mogadishu and Somalia are the same?

Of course, “eiye meji ki i ja’sa” (two different kinds of bird don’t share the name EAGLE). Eewo! Taboo! The bully never spared the pretty refugee a moment of rest, always saying bad things about her and her “dear native country”, Somalia.

So, like “ewure is a goat”, she fought back?

Trust the girl! She too get razor blade for mouth before before. Baba Bully, aka Baba ALATIKA Snr, think say na him alone wey get bombs  and mouth-propelled-grenades for mouth. The girl not only showed him the length of her AROGIDIGBA tongue she also triggered the bombs in his mouth. GBAS GBOS GBOSA!!! Come and see how the Baba Bully dey blush for television half awake, half asleep. The ALATIKA girl gave it back, measure for measure.

What do you call that kind of ALATIKA-BABA  ALATIKA FIASCO?

Simple! THE DEMYSTIFICATION OF THE CREEPY BULLY BY A YOUNG AFRICAN AMAZON IN THE DIASPORA,  RIGHT INSIDE THEIR ILE FUNFUN.

Shiorrrr!
