Don’t kill him or her the way this boy has been butchered by a mad matatu driver. “Aren’t we always expecting a winner in any wrestling bout?” I asked the old man. The Lion of Ilujinle, as he is otherwise known, wins the wrestling match in the play but does not murder his opponent.

This boy died through freak motor accident; it was as if a bullet caught him while he crossed the road the way politicians slap one another with insults, rungus and many other ammunitions as they cross one another’s path.
