DAGUNRO

Abúlée Tèmídayò was an abode of peace

glory swim from their past to their present

with a guarantee future at their hands

they sing the song of unity

dance the tone of love

virgin was their pride

strong men their strength

wise men stand by their gate

peace their shinning star

Abúlée Tèmídayò was a dreamland for the foreigner

and the joy of the inhabitant

until......................................

until death struck

not the old but the young

mama's eyes build fountain of tears

fathers bury their tomorrows ..........their futures

today's mourners comfort those of yesterday

no home could comfort each other

yet every night enemies strikes

taking the glory of the land

what a pity

children run to grave

old ones were cut short

strong hearts become weak

suspicion rule the air

neighbors become enemy

peace run away

the wall of unity collapse

questions were asked

yet..........................................

none to answer

but at the far east of Abúlée Tèmídayò

enemies camp with strength

they enjoy victories over victories

with pride they boast of millions they've sent to early grave

tears of agony serve as their water

blood of futures, their sacrificial power

and cry of mamas and papas, their music of joy

heart of the wise men could not take it again in Abúlée Tèmídayò

they consult ỌRÀNMÍYÁN

the IFÁ priest

secrets were revealed

the truth glow like the day

they knew how to capture the killer

strong men rise to do the job

but ỌRÀNMÍYÁN forbid them

this is the quest for the wise not the strong

because it take nothing but wisdom

they plot their strategy

they made a disinfected net

with many guns of disinfectant

they deny their eyes the joy of sleep

they hid all through the night

ready to solve the mystery of the land

all because of their future

enemies rain like before

they entered houses with confidence

but met their ordeal

they were captured, beaten, tormented

and lead to OJÚDE ỌBA

for people to see the face of the master killers

reader......

guess who these killers are

they are no one but.....

DÁGUNRÓ

also known as..........

ÈFON (MOSQUITOES)

the little but dangerous and dreadful devil

the leader confess their mode of operation

how their reproduce and work through

stagnant water and unclean environment

and how they freely enter every home without net

'you sacrifice your kids to us through your dirtiness' he said

all heart become weak

they count their loss

and think of their lost future

with anger they clear all stagnant water

burn all debris

clean their environment

raid and burn the camp of MOSQUITOES

sending their memory to history

on the seventh day.....

the day of jubilee

the king sentence the culprits to death by hanging

joy was restored

peace came like sun

wall of unity was rebuild

and Abúlée Tèmídayò became a heaven again
