Oba Jagun & Princess Adubi & Prince Adejubelo

(contributed by Lydia)

Oba Jagun

He is a man locked in a seemingly perpetual war with his name. The war rages on, because in a deep, Dark corner of Oba Jagun the valiant there is a man who would rather fell trees for his queen's loom than wage war. Old ones still remember when Jagun the boy earned his fathers wrath when hunters led him by the ears to the palace to report having caught him freeing the game their traps had caught. He even had a sanctuary for his 'rescued' animals, and had cried for days when his father had had him followed at one time, unknown to him and declared a feast of meat from all the animals in his sanctuary as a lesson.

His love for his people is fierce, but his tolerance for revolt and sedition is non existent.

ADUBI THE PRINCESS

“YOU’RE AS STUBBORN AS THE GOATS WHOSE MILK YOU SUCKED FROM THE DAY

YOU WERE BORN”

ADUBI DOES INDEED POSSESS THE QUALITIES OF A GOAT. SHE COULD OUT

CLIMB ANYONE WHO DARED HER TO A CLIMBING MATCH ALMOST AS SOON AS SHE

COULD WALK.

SHE ALSO HAD A WAY OF DECIDING ON ONE THING AND STICKING TO IT WITH

AN UNSHAKABLE STEADFASTNESS THAT EARNED HER THE LABEL“STUBBORN AS A GOAT”.

ADUBI CARES ABOUT ONE PERSONS APPROVAL ALONE. PRINCE ADEGEYE HER

BROTHER WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD REASON WITH HER AND HOPE SHE WOULD

CHANGE HER MIND.

SHE WAS HOWEVER RELATED TO THE PRINCE MORE BY THE LOVE BETWEEN HER

DEAD FATHER THE ONIGBESA OF IGBESA AND HIS FATHER OBA JAGUN THAN BY

BLOOD.

HER PARENTS HAD BEEN MURDERED AND HER PEOPLE ELIMINATED BY THE

BLOODTHIRSTY BULANI RACE FROM THE NORTH BEFORE SHE WAS BORN.

THE STORY OF HER BIRTH WAS THE ENVY OF FIRESIDE STORIES;

HER MOTHER THE MUCH LOVED AND RESPECTED QUEEN ABISOYE HAD RUN AWAY

FROM HER PEOPLE AND HER PALACE ON THE COMMAND OF HER HUSBAND CARRYING

A SIX MONTH OLD PREGNANCY BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN NEWS FROM THE

WARFRONT THAT HER HUSBAND’S ARMY HAD BEEN AMBUSHED AND WERE FARING

BADLY.

WORSE, A SECTION OF THE ENEMY’S ARMY HAD BEEN SPOTTED HEADED IN THE

DIRECTION OF THEIR VILLAGE FORCING THE KING TO SEND WORD THAT SHE

ESCAPE WITH THEIR FIRST CHILD AND HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF HER

MOTHER’S VILLAGE.

BUT THE QUEEN NEVER MADE IT THERE. SHE AND HER SMALL ARMY OF GUARDS

WERE APPREHENDED, SLAUGHTERED AND LEFT FOR DEAD CLOSE TO THE SHRINE OF

ELA.

BUT THE QUEENS ORI HAD NOT CHOSEN TO DIE BEFOR CHILDBIRH, SO SOMEHOW

SHE MANAGED TO CRAWL TO THE SHRINE AND LAY THERE HALF DEAD UNTIL HER

CHILD WAS BORN TWO MONTHS LATER.

ONLY THEN DID SHE ACCEPT THE CALL OF HER ANCESTORS.

OBA ALADEWURA WHO HAD BEEN HURRYING FROM HIS KINGDOM WITH HIS ARMY TO

HELP HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND ALLY FIGHT HIS ENEMY ARRIVED TOO LATE TO A

MASSACRE, BUT THERE WAS WORD WAITING FOR HIM FROM IFA ASKING HIM TO

HASTEN TO THE SHRINE OF ELA. He got there to find THE INFANT BEING

NURSED BY A GOAT.

IRUNMOLE TOLD HIM TO TURN AROUND AND TAKE THE LITTLE PRINCESS HOME AND

RAISE HER AS HIS OWN.

HIS INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO FEED THE CHILD WITH GOATS MILK AND NOTHING

ELSE TILL SHE WAS EIGHT MOONS OLD, AND TO NEVER LET HER EAT GOAT MEAT.

QUESTIONS

WHY WAS SHE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT GOAT MEAT?

WHY IS SHE HEALED FROM ANY AILMENT WHEN SHE DRINKS GOATS MILK?

WHY IS SHE THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER THROWN PRINCE ADEGEYE ON HIS BACK

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY DURING A MOCK WRESLE WHEN THE PRINCE WAS TEN

SEASONS AND SHE A SCRAGLY NINE-SEASON-OLD BUMPKIN?

HOW COME SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CALM THE PRINCE DOWN WHENEVER

THROWS ONE OF HIS TEMPER TANTRUMS?

Prince Adejubelo

“When your father is Oba Jagun and you are his heir, you don’t need to measure his shoes to know how large you feet must grow”- Adejubelo

Prince Adejubelo is the Beau, his mother’s headache and his father’s sore thumb. Prince Jubelo is quite debonair, and needless to say, a smashing hit with the maidens who all seem to go brainless when he’s around.

The prince sticks out for almost all the good reasons; intelligence, brawn charm and good looks.

The good looks cause his mother worry as mothers with marriage-age daughters are especially nice and are practically chocking her to death with gifts and services because of their hopes for their daughters.

And Jubelo doesn’t help. He is aware of the buzz about him and revels in it, most times leaving behind a trail of grown women quarrelling and damsels fighting each other for his attention.

But he is far more than his good looks and the charisma he inherits from his father. He is also the wrestling champion in his age group and possesses the agility of a cat. No one has ever thrown him in a match, (or at least no one knows of the one time he was thrown).

He lives to make his father proud, and prove his brawn and bravery and is always looking for ways to demonstrate his fearlessness.

In spite how seriously he takes the duty he has inherited however, where his father would opt for seriousness Jubelo would cut tension with fresh bursts of the jocular. His visits to the palace are always acknowledged with delight, and only those who know him well know better than to underestimate his seeming air of nonchalance as Jubelo’s sword has the reputation of being almost as fast up an enemy’s vitals as his father’s.

And therein lies the paradox. How could anyone with a violent temper such as Prince Jubelo possess such a charming personality? His temper is almost like a sojourn into the dark side, and only his sister Adubi can talk him out of a spell.

Little wonder then that everyone knows Adubi is never too far behind Jubelo at any point in time.

His relationship with her is confused but charged and passionate. He has found that as they both grew older, with Adubi turning from his annoying, gawky but cute tail into a stunning siren, that he is often at a loss as to how to handle his feelings for her.

Most times he doesn’t know if he wants to be her brother, protector or more and so they are always sparing and she is almost always effortlessly parrying his every thrust.

The problem as he has told himself is that Adubi does not need his protection. She has been known to leave young men with shuffling feet after a fight. And he knows it’s because they are too ashamed to talk about who won the fight.
