PART 24
“MY FATHER’S FARMLAND”
©?Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
“He listened to all your songs, he was also meant to be a great farmer, but
your glamorous lifestyle made him feel, you were getting it right… you
became his role model, he didn’t know how you made some of your money,
but he wanted to be rich at all cost…Your songs like….”
Ope’s songs played in front of the trio….
*Get Rich or Die Tryin
*Poor man be slaving.
*Anything for the pay.
“All your songs influenced him to go into a lot of vices, from armed robbery
to assassination to money ritual. In his lifetime, before he died, he had killed
179 people in his bid to make money. You knew him as G-MONEY.”
Ope had her mouth wide open, she knew G-MONEY, he was one of those who
gave her money for her concerts. He was one of her biggest fans….She never
knew he got his money through diabolic means, though she always knew he
couldn’t have had all that money through legal means.
“Idiopemipo, do you know how many people’s’ blood are on you?, that you
dare speak about Sunkanmi’s farmland?… Sunkanmi’s farmland was as filthy
as yours in the past as he was feeding his members with unripe produce as
that was the level of farming he knew. The man who trained him in ministry
did not give him a complete guide to farming. He taught him what he also
knew… Unlike you whose father had taught you well, you had no excuse to
plant poisonous crops on your land..”
Ope was the one been spoken too, but Oba and Ola were shivering,
FATHER’S wrath was not a good thing, fire exuded out of his body at every
of his outburst.
“Sunkanmi didn’t know how best to farm than what he had been taught, he
had been taught that there was therefore no more condemnation in Christ
Jesus, but they excluded the second part that states that who walk not after
the flesh, but after the Spirit.… They didn’t teach Sunkanmi, that the works
of the flesh like immorality, drunkenness, Gambling which is a product of
Greed, should not be seen in the life of a new farmer…, but recently, Sukanmi
came to know the truth and he came begging for Mercy. His once filthy land
like yours was swept clean by the blood of the Saviour. Now, his farm which
he started growing little crops on, you Idiopemipo came and set it on fire
with your filthy hands…”
FATHER’S voice roared throughout the farmland, which was followed by a
heavy silence.
Then HE spoke again…
By this time Ope was weeping profusely, she knew what awaited her… She
had used her talent against God and had not reconciled her ways with God
before meeting with FATHER.
“You who is so full of sin was the first to cast a big stone, Should I begin to
list all these other rottenness lying on your field, some of the things your
siblings don’t even know….?”
Ope’s secret sins begin to play in front of the Trio.
Ope committed Adultery with different men, Some were politicians, others
Co- celebrities.
“ You slept with different men at will, in your few years of marriage with
Lucky, you had a divorce, got married to Bonny, you later divorced Bonny
and remarried Lucky..” FATHER said in anger
“Have you forgotten how, out of your negligence, one of the fruits of your
farmland got rotten and died…?”
A scene played out, and the trio saw how Ope’s first baby had died spiritually
in the hands of her nanny.
When Ope had her first baby for Lucky, they were so caught up with Ope’s
music career, she hired a nanny to take of her baby. Little did they know that
the nanny was s*xually assaulting the baby boy by playing with his genitals.
Your first son is a S*x addict because of your negligence…!” Father’s voice
roared…
Ope wept sore not knowing that was the source of her son’s promiscuity.
“ You killed your son from childhood, he is just a living dead man”
The trio also saw a new scene playing out…
Ope taking hard drugs to get high before recording her songs or going on
stage…
“You who has secret sins, what level of morality do you have to judge my Son
Sunkanmi, who has mended his ways with me…?” FATHER said once again
with the voice that roared like that of a lion…
“Get thee behind me, you worker of iniquity and let your farm be given to
another who is more worthy!” FATHER said in conclusion to Idiopemipo
Some Valiant looking men appeared suddenly at the command of FATHER’S
voice and carried Ope away…
Almost immediately, some other valiant men appeared on her farm and
started clearing the mess on the land.
It was done in less than a minute, and a big billboard was placed on the land
which read “VACANT, NEW FARMER NEEDED”, while the billboard “
OCCUPIED” was removed and broken.
The space at the Top, God had given Idiopemipo was taken from her and
Heaven was already looking for who to give her land and tools to…
Oba and Ola wept as they watched their sister taken away from them. This
was the point where the closest of friends got separated…
Oba and Ola shivered not knowing how their farm would look like as they
heard the Valiant workers shouting…
“ Idiopemipo Jenriayegbe’s farmland is vacant, may someone else take her
place, may someone else become her husband’s wife, may someone else who
is more worthy become her children’s mother, may someone else be given
her talents to bring Glory to the FATHER….”
