Interrogating leadership gaps in Falayi’s The Slaves In The Palace

For the author of The Slaves In The Palace, Foluke Sijuwola Falayi, character and discipline are basic qualities of transformational leaders.

Iwosa, a kingdom in the play, has many slaves acting as kings, but at the end, showed who they truly are.

This annoys the kingmakers, and as custom in Yoruba land, calabashes and twigs are carried to the king. He describes this as abomination and goes into the forest. But the king does not learn his lessons. He continues, ”you have done all the necessary rites for me. Whether I was a son of the slave no longer matters.”The helpless kingmakers proceed to the home of the oldest and the neglected man in Iwosa as they seek solution.

The sage further says, “we have had several slaves ruling as kings in Iwosa. Oba Alabi was a slave to good ideas; a slave to his thought. Iwosa would have been bigger than this if he had permitted visitors to reside here. Each time they came, he made living difficult for them. He was a lone king who refused to associate with other kings. Oba Adeyinka would have been better if he knew what was right but he did what was evil.

A novelist, poet, and playwright, Falayi is a graduate of English and Literary Studies from the University of Ado Ekiti.
