What Manner Of Agony (Ogbe Okan) Is This?

What can give a man the worst kind of agony in life? Could it be losing his job after giving so much to helping the company grow? Could it be betrayer from his best friend who plans his downfall behind him? Or could it be this…

He comes home happy to meet his pretty wife with whom he keeps exchanging banters and laughing like they just won a jackpot till late hours of the night. Being a very comfortable couple living in a big house, they have got their separate rooms in the house but would only knock on each other’s door whenever they wanted to have a “fire for fire” experience expected between a couple in the dead of the night.

And that fateful night, the wife had gone to bed earlier than her husband and while preparing to retire into his own room too for the night, there is a deafening banging on the main door to the house. “Who is that?” The husband inquires nervously. “We are armed robbers,” the voices outside respond confidently. “Open this door immediately or we open fire on it to gain entrance. And if that happens, there would surely be a grave consequence!” The robbers warn.

Despairingly, the husband turns the key in its hole open with his hand shaking, nay, vibrating like a Nokia 9310 of those days. And the moment they bounce in, just two of them, the robbers begin to dish out instructions to the helpless man under his roof without him being able to turn them down. Since he knows turning them down could only result in one possibility: they gunning him down. And the robbers are not looking like they would temper any mercy with their jungle justice!

Since all he has to do is to obey every instruction to the letter, immediately the robbers ask where he keeps his money, the husband takes them straight to the doorstep to his wife’s room. “Khoor, khoor, khoor…,” the husband knocks on the door repeatedly. And a sleepy voice answers from inside, “who is that?” Then the husband answers “it’s me.” “Na wa o! I hope my husband is not coming for ‘fire for fire’ this night again. I feel very tired o,” the wife must have said to herself. Notwithstanding, as an obedient Muslim wife, she knows she would not have much of a choice if that is the case, so she opens the door.

Lo and behold, she comes face to face with the robbers wielding instruments of “fire for fire” but unfortunately, not the kind she is familiar with. “Where is the money?” They bark and she takes them straight to the wardrobe where a briefcase containing money is kept. After taken the money as well as her expensive jewelries, like Oliver Twist, the robbers want more. The wife is wearing a sexy and very revealing night gown which irresistibly made the robbers to remember a contextually wicked proverb that says the taste of the pudding is in the eating.

But the robbers would not go straight for the “forbidden fruit”; rather they first put the wife in a dilemma by giving her two terrible choices. “Between killing your husband and sleeping with you, take one!” Having a split second to take her decision, the wife goes for what she feels is the lesser evil and you can guess what that is.

After taking turns on the wife from left, right and centre while the husband looks on, the robbers are still appreciative for the unusual hospitality presented to them. And as a token of gratitude, they give out a piece from the jewelries they stole from the wife to the husband for maintaining the centre of gravity of his wife so much that it feels, “ inwards”, almost like that of a virgin and one could only imagine the kind of pleasure that they got from their unholy access to the pot of honey.

And that point marks the beginning of the husband's agony (Ogbe Okan) as he keeps agonizing over the unpleasant experience to the extent that he feels the only way to put everything behind him is to send the wife packing!

And what happens next? The story spins different layers of intrigues which keep gathering momentum as the suspense heightens. And you know what; that is the story line behind a creatively packaged joint Islamic album produced by velvety voiced Alhaja Rukayat Gawat Oyefeso as the wife, award-winning Alhaji (Dr.) Abdul-Kabir Bukola Alayande aka Ere Asalatu as the husband, award-winning Alhaja Aminat Babalola better known as Omotayebi as the husband’s younger sister who keeps adding insult to the wife’s injury and ageless veteran, Alhaji Wasiu Kayode As-Sideeq as the wife’s father who tries to make peace.

While some other fast-rising Islamic artistes featured in it, the musical video shot by award-winning director, Dare Zaka, also featured talented actors like Ojopagogo, Kunle Adegbite, Lizzy Anjorin and Moji Olaiya who interpreted their given roles just like they do in the regular movies they act in. And to crown it all, the part 1, part 2 of the intriguing story as well as the about to be released part 3 of the musical, are being marketed by the award-winning Okiki Films and Music Productions also known as Aperire Marketer.
