The story of Bashorun Gaa of the old Oyo Kingdom is not new; for the sake of those that are not familiar with the story, I shall briefly tell it.

Bashorun Gaa of sad memory was the head of ‘Oyomesi’, the legislative arm of the kingdom, but he was so extra-ordinarily powerful
with supernatural powers of fetish. History has it that Gaa had the power to change from human-being to any wild animal of his choice.

In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents

Femi hails from Oshuka Village, somewhere in Abeokuta.

He came to OAU to study mechanical engineering with the hope of being able to help himself.

According to what Femi informed me, he is a huge fan of automobiles.
He claimed to have assisted his father in his repair shop when he was alive.

That was it. I left my Hostel in Maintenance around 9.30 p.m. to get something from the Country kitchen.

This is something I always do.
