JAGUNJAGUN... a biblical allusion to Saul and David...
(Run away from any 'mentor' who is not happy with your growth)

By
OREOFE WILLIAMS PhD

There are so many Gbotijas whose growing success continues to intimidate their mentors and some won't be as fortunate as the resilient Gbotija. Saul was so intimidated that he wanted David dead at all cost!

A brilliant and successful attack on the 'norm', JAGUNJAGUN has the 'content' that knows the right form: Tragedy. Fitting into the Aristotelean definition of this genre, the film is a 'spell'; a sweet one we desire to have again and again especially when the legendary Chatta engages Yinka Quadri at denouement. Don't neglect the director; the cameo appearances of established actors are splendid: Odunlade Adekola and Ijebu are deliberate departures from old techniques as their characters are made to appear and die. Yes! A superstar can feature and disappear. It's called cameo.

Femi Adebayo has taught me a big message again: 'AVOID AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ANY SO CALLED MENTOR OR FATHER WHO HAS NO CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR GROWTH AND CAN DO ANYTHING TO DESTROY YOU EVEN WITH THE TONGUE.

You are also to avoid people with the 'divide and rule' mentality. They engage these tactics when they observe how close you are to anyone around them.

I celebrate the great Femi Adebayo. This film wasn't done to impress but to express. Lateef Adedimeji sliced his own role to pieces as usual. We must celebrate the Legend of legends himself and the postmodern baba of Modern Nigerian Drama, Alagba Adebayo Salami. Fulfillment is when you see your fruits, either in biology or in destiny, produce big trees and greater fulfillment is when you happily sit to participate.

Is it a perfect work? No work of literature scores 100 percent. But once you hit 70, it's an 'A'.

One more advice: Whoever thought of bringing in Ibrahim Chatta is smarter than Elon Musk and should joyfully report himself to the EFCC 😂😂😂.

It is not too late to talk to God.
Guilt only shows that you still have some good in you. It shouldn't hold you down!

What does the church have to offer? You get five benefits when you belong to a church family:

1. You learn your true identity. People often look for their identity in superficial things, such as their career, wealth, or favorite sports team. But when you belong to Jesus, he gives you a whole new identity.

2. You are supported by others. Without the stable support system of a church, you may find yourself collapsing at some point in your life. You weren't meant to do it all on your own. You need physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental support. That's why we belong to the church—so God’s people can say together, "Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you."

3. You discover your unique value. Everyone is unique. Nowhere else on Earth is there anyone like you. That’s why the church needs you—to make the body complete. You need other people, and they need you.

4. You receive protection. What’s the benefit of being part of God’s flock? You are defended and cared for. You have other people looking out for you. And you can enjoy the safety and security that come from belonging to a family who trusts in Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

5. You become productive. You’ll never be as productive as God intended for you to be if you’re not connected to a church family. Your church teaches you the right questions to ask and the right priorities to set. A cut-off branch cannot bear fruit. But when you’re connected to the true vine, Jesus, life-giving energy flows through you to others.

Nothing in the world can give you what the church gives you. Only the church can meet your need for significance, stability, protection, productivity, and being valued.
