Ọmọ Ewé Vs Ọmọ Aiyé: Our Huge Shame, By Odolaye Aremu

… the gang killings in the UK especially within and around the London hub can never abate with the reality TV-like shamelessness of some of the parents. Of late, kids especially from Nigerian and Jamaican homes have been the hardest-hit in these many knifing incidents.

Infact London recently surpassed the Big Apple for the first time ever in killings of such because of these ‘surging knife’ deaths. Opeyemi Olugbodi posted a video of some Nigerian women- Yoruba women fighting at Stratford-a popular train station. I advise you to go see it. If you’ve ever seen the 1979 gang, cult-movie ‘WARRIOR,’ this is it! Except this looks cringe-worthy enough to make it seems like one is watching the simulation of a bunch of very low-grade extras probably pulled from Ojuwoye, Ojuina, Apongbon and some other Lagos inner-cities practicing method acting. One group goes by the name ‘Ọmọ Ewé’ and its nemesis- Ọmọ Ayé. Of course those are familiar sounding names, for they are clearly spinoffs from Ẹyẹ and Aye- two deadly collegiate confrats, from all the way back home in Nigeria.

Their respective leaders are two bold, nasty, trashy, brash and totally ridiculous ladies with a copious splash of idiotic fluid supporting their brain membrane. Infact some of these trashy women even brought their kids to do battle with their opponents. Perhaps for them to understudy thier warrior moms at their nefarious duties or thier presence necessary for some kind of emotional support. And both sides militarily rallied round thier respective bosses in a perimeter-like formation in the most depressing show of defence.

Nigerian London parents, I dare say to you that your efforts to speak out against gangs and thier deadly activities, shall amount to a waste of time when you partly encourage this show of shame by rushing to power your smartphone in order to preview another smashing show of Ọmọ Ayé Vs Ọmọ Èwe as they do battle on one of their many, long-running, inglorious and disgraceful episodes. With enough evidence to nail these idiots, I don’t know what the Metropolitan Police are still waiting for on their part. And with as much noise as Nigerians readily make on all issues, I don’t get it why our brethren in the UK are still mute about this brewing, totally worrisome phenomenon. Or do you all still think this is entertainment?
