THEME OF OPPRESSION IN PARLIAMENT OF OWLS

-
**OPPRESSION** Here are instances of oppression identified from the play "Parliament of Owls" by Adipo Sidang: 1. **Raids on Bird Nests:**  Money Bags orchestrates raids by snakes on bird nests to steal eggs, creating insecurity among birds and justifying the implementation of the Law of Bird Protection (p66). This tactic creates fear and vulnerability among the bird population. 2. **Manipulation of Laws:**  Money Bags manipulates legislation, such as the Moonlight Bill (page 21), to enforce rules that favor owls and restrict the rights and activities of other birds. Dissenting voices like Iron Lady are silenced or expelled (page 9), highlighting a lack of democratic process and freedom of expression. 3. **Control Over Resources:**  Money Bags grabs sacred trees from the crows, displacing ten crow families to repurpose the area into a surveillance tower controlled by him (p144, p52). This action demonstrates control over resources essential for other bird species, consoli...

Not All That Glitters Is Gold” in The Truly Married by Abioseh Nicol

-
 In the story The Truly Married Woman by Abioseh Nicol the main characters, Ajayi and Ayo, both pretend to be good, honest, and respectable, but in truth, they are not. They show one thing to the public but behave differently in private. This makes them hypocritical. First, Ajayi acts like he is a very religious and honest man, but this is false.

He tells a colleague that the road is too bad for them to come by taxi, which is a lie. He also quickly sends a messenger to tell Ayo to clean the house and remove things that might make the visitors think ...

The misuse of power by those in authority leads to significant suffering and hardship for the masses.Discuss the validity of this statement using illustrations from Parliament of Owls by Adipo Sidang.

 When power is misused by those in authority to advance their agenda and for self gain it leads to widespread problems for  the society. This essay will explore how Sidang highlights the negative effects of authority when it is misused, focusing on the impact on both individuals and the community. Money Bags uses the advantage of being the right-hand Owl of the Royal Owl to enrich himself. He is in charge of sponsoring all the bills forwarded by the Royal Owl .He is critical in decision making in the government of the royal owl. He sponsored the law that created Royal Trees,which legalised tree grabbing habit.(page 52). Because of this privileged position, Money Bags grabs every tree that will benefit him. For instance, he grabbed the sacred tree from the crows and displaced ten families of crows; then, he converted it into his secret tower of surveillance controlled by One-Eyed and his son.This left the crow bitter but Money Bags does not care about displacing them.When Black...
