Very interesting article by Reuben Abati. Read

below...
“What a relief, my friend!”
“What are you relieved about?”
“It is this David Adeleke and Sophia Momodu
soap opera”.
“I tell you. It is a perfect subject for a good
home video. But what is your own?”
“No. Nothing. I am just relieved that the parties
involved have agreed to let peace reign”
“This will be about the third time I would hear of
that matter being resolved.”
“Well, I think the Momodus and the Adelekes
should just spare us.
They should not forget there is a child involved.
They have suddenly made Imade Adeleke, the
most famous victim of Baby Mama-Baby Papa
palaver in Nigeria. Both Davido and Sophia and
their supporters’ clubs should please protect the
baby, and not make her a poster child for that
kind of subject.”
“But me, I am enjoying the story oh.”
“Of course, too many sadists in our land enjoy
other people’s misery.”
“But really, it is a simple matter. “
“If it were that simple, the drama wouldn’t be so
entertaining. “
“What Davido wants, Davido gets. His father is
rich. He is a famous musician. Davido says he
wants custody of his daughter.”
“By taking her away from her mother by force,
and giving her to his half-sister, and
threatening to travel out of the country with the
baby for medicals, without the mother’s
knowledge or consent? A seven-month old
baby, abducted at two months?”
“He gave reasons for that. He is talking about
the biological mother taking cannabis and
risking his daughter’s life”
“Cannabis?”
“Yes. Igbo”
“You seriously mean marijuana?”
“Yes, gbana as in Indian hemp. And Davido
provided a medical report to confirm his claim.”
“You saw the medical report. You are sure it is
genuine? Because I understand Sophia
Momodu’s lawyers have written the lab to
produce the original report of proof of drug
abuse.”
“This their matter sef.”
“That’s why it is the child that is most
important. I don’t like the way they have turned
the young girl into a trophy to be fought over in
a blood sport. We are in the age of the internet.
Twenty years from today, someone could print
out these funny details from the internet
memory bank. A father, grandfather and a half-
sister fighting a mother and her family over a
baby and making sordid claims: It is not a fight
that can be easily won.”
“I hear Davido says the Momodus cannot force
him. He may even release a special song to
make his position clear: No be by force.”
“Nobody is forcing him and his family to marry
Sophia Momodu. They are just saying custody
should be mutually agreed upon.”
“And he and his family are saying they want
their daughter properly brought up. They too
have a point. You should not take sides.”
“Ok. He is talking about Marijuana. When he
was head over heels in love with the Momodu
girl, he didn’t smell marijuana? I am sure if he
was given Marijuana before he was allowed to
inhale, he would willingly exhale?
“He insists he was just 21 years old. And that
he was seduced by a full-grown woman who
took advantage of his youth and innocence.”
“Innocence, indeed. Was he raped? Did he not
have a relationship with her, and did he not
showcase her everywhere? He was 21. If he
could be tricked at 21, then he should live with
the consequences. “
“You are taking sides. I know why. You are Dele
Momodu’s friend.”
“I am making uncommon sense. I am saying
why is Davido asking for Sophia Momodu’s
birth certificate after the fact? When the thing
dey sweet them, they no dey remember say na
the thing wey fowl chop, him go shit.”
“But you can’t force any man to marry a
woman. Why the girl too go carry belle for him
junior brother? She suppose know say Davido
sef him na pikin. You no see as him papa they
follow am, make dem no carry big yansh, big
chest, fine face, cheat him son for Lagos”
“Him try well, well. But Davido, your boy, him no
sabi use rubber?”
“That girl look like person wey go gree rubber?”
“You dey craze”
“My own is that fathers should just keep an eye
on their sons and daughters. Let mothers also
keep an eye on their daughters. To avoid
stories that break the heart like this one, fine
girls should just know that you can’t detain any
man with a baby. Er beg.”
“The values of the younger generation are
different.”
“Some strict parents will still never have allowed
this to happen.”
“Some of these children are beyond control.”
“But we all suffer for it. This is why Ghanaian
ladies insist that Nigerian men are unreliable.
They say they use and dump women.”
“They say they…?”
“That’s what I hear.”
“They or we?”
“They.”
“You mean you have tried the Ghanaian market
too? Tell your brother something about
ECOWAS romance?”
“You are an incurable gossip. Ashawo,
somebody.”
“But talking seriously, it won’t be fair to
condemn Nigerian men. I think this is a thing
about Nigerian musicians. Those people too
like women. Young women, old women oh…any
woman. Even the women musicians sef, any
man wey stand well… fiam”
“That is more important to them than their art?
No wonder many of them sing such trashy
songs”
“There is even one of them who has seven
children from five women or so. And there is
one they call Whizkid”
“Superkid?”
“Whatever. But there is this kid musician who
also has a child from an older woman. There is
this joke that when his parents heard, they
quickly took charge of the situation, by telling
the Baby Mama that while they would accept
the baby, everyone could see that the Baby
father is himself still a baby, too young to take
care of another baby, not to talk of a grown
woman. They pleaded that no woman should
pakurumo..ko…”
“ Nice joke. I laughed. Him sef na pikin, he never
grow finish to take care of pikin. The girl fled.”
“That’s why I say it is a simple matter. Davido
should have consulted his seniors in this
matter. That one that has seven children from
five women did it so well, today all his Baby
Mamas married or single, are friends.”
“Wow. That’s a real Baba of the matter. Who is
he?”
“I can’t mention his name. He is happily married
now to one of the Baby Mamas. I don’t want to
be accused of disrespecting another man’s
wife.”
“Let Davido and Sophia just make peace for
their daughter’s sake. And when the matter is
settled, Davido knows where to go for tutorials
if he really wants to fish in this type of troubled
waters.”
“But our musicians sha. They can fight?”
“Who again is fighting?”
“Olamide and Don Jazzy.”
“That face-off over awards at The Headies
event? But they have apologized”
“No. You don’t get the point. Why should
artistes or producers or label owners fight over
awards? What I have seen is that our young
artistes are obsessed with awards. They seem
to be more interested in being given a plaque
than developing their real work. It is this same
problem with Nollywood actors. Any small
award is treated as if it is the Nobel Prize.”
“I see that too. It is the Grammy award
disease.”
“No true artist should work with an eye on
winning a plaque. The best award is the
acceptance of the market place, not by a group
of biased judges. If you are good as an artist,
you are good, nobody can take that away from
you.”
“Quite true. But it helps to have some plaques
on the wall, I must say.”
“How many of those musicians who were called
the best new acts on the block in the 80s and
early 90s are still making any impact today?
When a work of art is good, it will be evergreen;
when an artist is good, his talent will
endure.”
“Some of these new kids are great though.
World-class talents. In the last few years, there
has been an explosion of real talent.”
“I want to hear more about talent. Great art.
Not drama kings and queens, not Baby Mamas
and Lab Reports.”
“You are just old-fashioned. Controversy is part
of art. Life itself is about controversy.
Controversy produces great art. In the world of
artists, all things work out as raw material.”
“That’s why people insist artists are mad.”
“But it is not only artists that generate or attract
controversy. Politicians do.”
“I know. Controversy is the soul of politics, but
here it produces stress and oftentimes,
tragedy.”
“I’ll give you one example.”
“Which is?”
“In Oyo State, Governor Abiola Ajimobi is trying
to embarrass the Olubadan in Council by trying
to determine how existing vacancies within the
hierarchy are filled. He is introducing INEC
guidelines to Ibadan Chieftaincy affairs!”
“How can he possibly do that?”
“He is asking for certificates of mental, physical
and marital fitness before Ladoja and Balogun
can fill the Otun Olubadan and Osi Olubadan
vacancies.”
“Marital fitness?”
“When people ask for physical fitness, don’t
you know it is all encompassing?”
“All that is politics. I am sure it will be amicably
resolved. Ajimobi is smart enough to know that
you don’t fight the traditional institution.
Governors will come and go, the Olubadan is
the owner of Ibadan”
“Don’t tell me. Go and tell Ajimobi”
“Don’t worry. He knows. He just dey make
body. Body language, they call it.”
“But what is happening in Bayelsa is not body
language oh. When the people of Southern Ijaw
go to the polls tomorrow to determine who will
be the next Governor of Bayelsa state, they
won’t be joking; the state will be at war.”
“May be not real war; let’s say blood sport.”
“You are speaking grammar. I just hope the
election won’t be inconclusive again.”
“It is a combat for political supremacy.”
“Put it like this: the outcome may determine the
future of Bayelsa state.”
“No. Put it like this: the outcome will determine
the future of the PDP.”
“You are quibbling.”
“Dickson is core Ijaw. Timipre Sylva is Nembe.”
“I don’t get it.”
“The mind of the core Ijaw voter will make the
difference. We pray for peace.”
“I have an idea now. Yes. All things being
equal.”
“That’s politics for you.”
“But there are other forces.”
“That’s why there is so much at stake, and a
question of where the stakeholders stand.”
“I know. Stakeholders matter. They have just
allowed MTN to buy Visafone.”
“Really? Is that a reward for the fine MTN is
supposed to pay?”
“It is a business transaction, nothing about
government.”
“Everything is about government. Has MTN paid
its fine, before being allowed to take over a
home-grown company?”
“We should study what happened. Why do
Nigerians get licenses and approvals, run a
business for a while and then sell to foreign
interests? HiTV. Now Visafone. ”
“One glaring failure of local content!”
“Look, let’s discuss that after MTN must have
paid the fine.”
“I hear they have sacked 2, 000 Nigerian
workers at Visafone, already. They have taken
over.”
“What?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Oh no”
