LÍSÀBÍ : THE REVOLUTIONARY ẸGBA FARMER
In the late 18th century there once lived a farmer who
lived in the Ẹgba.
He was called Lísàbí Agbọ̀ngbọ̀ Àkálà.
He was described as a very tall and broad fellow, who
lived in Igbein but originally from Itoku.
Ẹsí ẹni mọ ẹiyẹ tó sú (no one knew who his parents
were) but he was said to be a cheerful, hardworking
and respective young man.
According to history, the Ẹgbas were then under the
suzerain of the Olóyo/Aláàfin who received ìsákólẹ̀
(tributaries) from the Ẹgbas through his Ajeles
(representatives or tax collectors).
These Ọyo-Ajeles were reportedly brutish and
avaricious such that the Ẹgbas became tired of their
excesses.
But they all resigned to fate, esí ọhun a má sé Aláàfin
l'oni ile baawà.
While they've all given up Lisabi was preoccupied with
plans on how to liberate his people.
Lisabi took advantage of the breakdown of law and
order in Oyo-ile after Afonja's revolt on Aláàfin Aole.
He turned the Aro traditional system where farmers
helped One another on their farms into an
underground Army, and changed its name too Egba
Olorogun (Egba Ọ̀ ni orogún: Egba has no rival).
They all agreed to the plot and perfected their attacks.
When the Ajeles came with their usual raking.
Lisabi signalled his small army and Nearly all the
Ajeles were slaughtered about 600 Of them were
wiped out.
Ẹni orí yọ ó di ilé, those who escaped the onslaught
reported to Bashorun Ashamu who was acting as a
regent in Oyo.
And since he could not summon Afonja, he drafted
young Oyo and Ibarapa Army instead and they head to
Igbehin hoping to crush it And bring Lisabi's head to
Oyo but "e shock them".
Lisabi had ordered everyone to desert the town.
He and his army hid in ravines and the Oyo soldiers
easily fell into their trap, the Òyós were defeated and
Lisabi Won independence for his people.
Ẹgba became an independent state afterwards.
The Lisabi festival is the celebration of Ẹgba
independence and the appreciation of his fearlessness
and gallantry.

World's most famous fashion designer and writer, Crisda Rodriguez, wrote this article before she passed away from cancer:

"1. I had the world's most expensive car brand in my garage but now I'm traveling in a wheelchair.

2. My house is full of all kinds of designers clothing, shoes and valuables. But my body is wrapped in a small sheet of cloth provided by the hospital.

3. There is enough money in the bank. But now I'm not benefiting from that money.

4. My house is like a palace but I'm laying in a double size bed in a hospital.

5. I can go from five star hotel to another five star hotel. But now I'm spending time moving from lab to lab in hospital.

6. I signed hundreds of people. Doctor's note today is my signature.

7. I had seven jewelry to decorate my hair - now I don't have hair on my head.

8. With a private jet, I can fly wherever I want. But now I need two people's help to get to the hospital patio.

9. Although there are many foods, but my diet has two tablets a day and a few drops of salt at night.

This house, this car, this jet, this furniture, so many bank accounts, so much reputation and fame, none of them are useful.

None of all valuables could give me relief.

The real meaning of life is about impacting, affecting life and humanity positively because we are going to give account to our creator One Day.
If not, Vanity upon Vanities all is Vanity.
