It was completely different from the one I had been part of producing, and which had been recorded for broadcast by the President.

There is the house mouse called ‘oofon‘ in Yoruba. And there is a delicious soup made from beans called ‘gbegiri’. Yes, do you remember the popular amala and gbegiri politics as championed by Lamidi Adedibu in Oyo State in those days? That’s the soup I’m talking about. What happens when the house mouse urinates inside the bowl of gbegiri soup? Lassa fever! That’s why we have the Yoruba saying; oofon to si gbegiri, ki eleko ko eko e dani.
