Beautification of Area Boys - Soyinka
Writers are prophets in their own forms and ways. Although they normally do not prophesy in the eyes of people's understanding of what and how prophecies should be given, their predictions come truer than most prophecies.
When professor Wole Soyinka wrote the Beautification of Area Boys years ago, people thought he was dramatizing the dominant activities of the Lagos Oshodi area boys. Today it becomes prominently clear that Soyinka was rather predicting that the Lagos area boys will produce a president of Nigeria onday.
Today the prophecy is fulfilled. The Lagos area boys have finally produced a president. Committed enough, their leader has emerged the Nigerian president. Oluomo and other high ranking area boys are corrently in Aso Rock to be assigned remittal offices. Nigeria for sale.
