The Elect

The Emasculated

 

The Oku Igbe, The Oniranu, The Alakowe

 

I have seen, and I have seen.......

my elect.

 

The walled covers the atrocities in adult cradles with the power with which it protects them into the righteous immorality of the world of the child, encourages them into that learned blindness wherein all they can do is read and right, or - when they neglect either of those two alternatives enough to strive for a piece of the action - flogs them out of "enjoying" the supposed care of the cradling, into the gutter of utter neglect.

Having been effectively walled off the walled; they have that same walled imprison their lives in cradles wherein they are either flogged into dung, shamed into nudity, or rocked into senility. Taboo it is, to the walled, for any captive of any of the three alternatives to live any other sort of life - in any other type of way. The type of boo that ignores the words of The Ikoro, and that slaughters the shio victims of the omase tradition with a thorough regard as rule of the words:

They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
