EVANS AND EVANS by Raheem Hameed

Evans that I know when I was a boy

Is different from the Evans now on media;

The former Evans is a publishing company -

The present Evans controls a kidnapper’s company

Both have stories to offer the world

Both Evans have some unique things in common;

They are controllers of hard currencies,

They are of international standard and

They have public respect

But in direct opposite manners

Evans publishers inspires souls,

Evans story inspires souls.

Evans story-books are available on nets and in markets,

Evans story is available on nets and in papers.

Hmmn, what an irony of life!

Evans published Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunmole^*

In the far away year of 1938;

A story full of picaresque of a Yoruba hunter.

Alas! 2017 Evans is Igbo Irunmole

And Abba Kyari is the Ogboju Ode

After the publication of Ogboju Ode,

Evans went on to publish Igbo Eledumare;^*

A forest with a stream that neutralizes all magical power

Still from the same author; D.O. Fagunwa

Just like the present police-net to Evans the kidnapper

Evans story is like Aditu Olodumare^*

Not the one published by Evans Publisher

But the reality of nemesis

That catches up with the mischief soul of

Chukwudi Onwuamadike (Evans)

For every story book, there are lessons,

For every happenstance in life, there are lessons.

Don’t follow Evans stories like season films –

Tap lessons of nemesis and law of karma

From the recent story of Mr. Evans

Ogboju Ode ninu Igbo Irunmole – The Forest of a Thousand Daemons

Igbo Eledumare – The Forest of God

Aditu Olodumare – The Mysteries of God

All authored by D.O. Fagunwa
