General Christopher Musa, the Nigerian Chief of Defence Staff, recently urged us to learn combat skills to protect ourselves when faced with danger. He made this point as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He likened the acquisition of martial arts such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Judo to driving, swimming, and other essential survival skills. He even suggested that, were it not for the fact that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been “watered down to three weeks,” the programme should train Nigerian graduates in unarmed combat skills for daily survival against evil men.

For decades, the Onwa Esaa festival of Obollo land, which is an ancient lunar ritual niched in ancestral veneration, struggled to maintain its sanctity amidst a disturbing wave of violence, masquerade-induced terror, and social disorder. What was once the heartbeat of traditional spirituality in Obollo gradually became a season of fear and chaos, hijacked by the radicalization of Akatakpa masquerade operators who had lost sight of the sacred norms that once guided the cult.

“Chieftaincy titles, the crux of the current face-off between the Ooni and Alaafin, have these days become so debased they are bestowed on all sorts; it profiteth Yorubaland nothing”

Who will restore Warri back to its glorious days? A city that was once the pride of all Wafarians, is now a shadow of itself, rusty and reeking with aroma of poverty occasioned by systemic decline with people cocooned in deprivation and squalor. Warri is allusively known as Wafi, making the people and residents of the city identified as Wafarians.
