CONTUMACY
SCENE1
(when the lights comes on, we see a well-decorated sitting room, in it, we see a well-furnished center table with a blue vase on it, 4 picture frames hanging on the wall, a sofa , a fridge and a wooden stool.)
(Enter Baba Anikulapo, looking so sad)
Baba Anikulapo: (walking slowly to the center stage center) Hmmm, what a life, a life full of vanity, a life where all things seems to be fascinating at the beginning but at the end all things seems meaningless to us because where we are going at the end of our lives, we go alone to the world beyond, no one or thing to accompany us. We face our judgments all alone. Now that he is gone, what is left of him. I can’t even imagine how he will tell his creator the cause of his death. (To the Audience) oh! Where are my manners? I couldn’t even introduce myself to you. Well, my name is Baba Anikulapo. People call me baba owe(proverb). My mood today is very bad.
Audience: Why?
Baba Anikulapo: its so sad seeing a person you love so much just die a miserable death. I can still remember how he came to me . It was just like yesterday. I don’t want to feel this grief alone, perhaps you all can join me in this felling of grief. (Goes to sit at the sofa and sighs) DISOBEDIENCE, refusal to obey. A word that can cost the entire life of a human being even to his generations to come. An act of refusing to face the truth and accept destruction. The only act that can make a man to walk in another man’s path, neglecting his own path and after living his entire life on earth, he finds out that a life full of wastage has been lived by his so-called self. No more remedy,no solution to his problem. Coming to a state of confusion, wanting to start a new life but no hope to start a new life. Living in distress and regretting his past actions. But why couldn’t he realize the truth earlier before now? Living in disobedience blinds him, making sure that he sees no other thing than to live a life to fulfill his disobedient act. (Goes to one of the picture frames, picks it from the wall and goes to sit on the sofa, gazing at the picture) BANJO!! Why was death so curious to have visited you at a very early age. You told your parents you will desist from your bad...
