“Iwo t’oo l’ogun Arinya, to lo n’jaayan!”
The man without the antidote for nausea
ought not be feasting on Cockroaches!

“My brain, as a kid could never communicate it effectively to my belly that it’s already full and that tiny itsy-bitsy space left in it was only to push the much-needed oxygen back into circulation and to push the expended carbon-dioxide out of the same circulatory system. Weirdly enough, few of those juvenile moments of gluttony occurred conveniently whenever Iya Odo treated the household to the hybrid meal of Rice and Dodo ‘assisted’ gallantly with fried stew! The attending discomfort after such episodes was worse than that from a terrible hangover, if you know what I mean. And the relief I sought would only come after I’d bent over and induced myself to vomit. One day as I watched the undigested rice particles with liquidated fragments of Dodo, totally discolored in various stomach gunks and oily stew, travel hurriedly in a projectile velocity from the pit of my stomach onto the shimmering-white glassy surface of the commode…my brain registered it for me- that last time: that gluttony potentially kills!
My mum would say it to spite me further in her notorious ijesha dialect- that “Ijekuje l’aa pa o Odolaye!”
Now if I had issues overfeasting on Rice and Dodo long ago! Imagine the dilemma of the fellow that feasted on Paper, Crayon and Erasers just recently! That dude definitely has a PICA Behavior! The consequences of such behavior are many to list. Imukumu aside; didn’t even realise Ijekuje could be criminal in some countries now!”
