The Return of King Ebele XVI: Brief Introduction.
The Return of King Ebele XVI is the story of a Palace Jester
who, through a triple act of Betrayal, Conspiracy of Silence and
Subversion, killed the King of RockSon Kingdom, forcefully took over his
Kingdom and married the Queen. Between the next August and the February
14 of the next year, the Queen had a very fatal fall from the rooftop
of her Grace Mansion (www.insiderweeklymagazine.com
NO 20, July 9, 2012, pp27, 28 and 29) as She and the King were dancing
away to the macabre dance that emanated from a radio belonging to an
undertaker. He was later made to find out that the King he killed was
his own biological father and that the Queen he married was his own
biological mother.
Upon the discovery of this incidence of incest
and the shame that followed as a result of the Queen’s fall from grace
to grass, he took a long rope and hung himself on the floor of the
House, thus occasioning his “Return” to where he came from. And because he is “Mr. Nobody”, it was also discovered that he is from “Nowhere”. “Everybody” says “Nobody” has ever seen “Anybody” called King Ebele XVI except witches, wizards, the gods, prison warders, cultists and terrorists. But the person that is known to “Everyone” is “ONE” Mr. Ebele who is an incurable mad imbecile, a fugitive and a wanderer and who is always known to be quoting “ONE” Mr. Odewale – a character in Ola Rotimi’s play, “The Gods are not to Blame”. His favorite quotation always is:
No,
no, no! Let no one blame the gods. For the gods would have failed if I
did not let them use me….They knew my weakness- the weakness of a man
easily moved to the defense of tribe. I once slew a man in my farm at
Ede. I could have spared him but he spat on my tribe – the tribe I
thought was my own tribe. And he laughed. Laughing, he called me a bush
man from the bust tribe of Ijekun Yemoja, I lost my reason. I now know
that that very man was my own father, the King who ruled this land
before me. It was in my bid to run away from more horrors that brought
me to this land. When the wood-insect gathers sticks, it carries it in
its own head. I pray Reuben….”
His deputy, Mr. Sabo(teur) – a wise man from the North also voluntarily resigned- refusing to wear a Crown and take over a Kingdom that was not his own.
It
was under the confusion generated by the imbecility of this wanderer
and a fugitive who called himself King Ebele XVI that a good Christian
from a predominantly Muslim part of the Kingdom ascended the Throne by
an act of divine intervention. He fought corruption and terrorism in the
land, and instilled great order and discipline in the boys who occupied
both Houses and had turned those p[laces into the Assembly of Rich
fools and the meeting of nincompoops. He was able to achieve this great
feat because he knows all the members of the House personally, and for
the fact that they have been Otedola’s guests in one
way or the other. Again he secretly rewarded all those who have suffered
greatly for the sake of the Kingdom to the point of crucifixion,
notably, Tony. Tony was specially compensated, giving a clean break and made to take a well deserved rest in Dubai and London respectfully.
Act 1, Scene 1:
Theme: Life is a tale told by an idiot, filled with (Faroukgate) and fury, signifying, nothing.
