When Erelu Fayemi committed sacrilege?

See Erelu Fayemi, Ekiti first lady  committing a sacrilege ?
Of course to many of us
Who believe that anybody who is at the top position
Who God has raised to a higher level
Should naturally jettison the behavioural pattern
Of a normal decent and reasonable human being
People believe that stupidity of greatness should come in
Though it may not even be the believe
But an expected behavioural pattern
Of some who see the lifting up as a time to acquire new rules, new set of behaviours
And when an exception emerges
It is strange. It is sacreligious to some
And when Erelu Fayemi knelt down before her former teacher!
Imagine a whole first lady of Ekiti State
Yes, one of the very best of homosapiens
A well-travelled fellow
Cosmopolitan in view and global in outlook
The First Lady of a whole Ekiti State
The state full of Professors
The state where every house has produced a graduate 
An intercontinental woman who has mingled and still drill rubbing minds with great men and women in the world
Imagine this woman
At a public place
Where there are culturalists
At the presence of prosperous fellow of arts and culture
Saw one old man
Who's dressing was very unattractive
A man who was one of the five people to arrive
The Ekiti State Cultural Centre
At 9:15
For an event scheduled to commence at 10 am
And in the glaring eye of all Erelu
 Bisi Fayemi
In her majesty and majestic
Without minding that the floor will cast stain
On her dress
Knelt down
With observed humility
To  a man
Who she described as her teacher
Who had taught her in the University
Long years ago
And just because of that
The whole First Lady
Of Ekiti has to do the cultural way
Our own tradition of greeting an elder
Showing a robust sense of being a thoroughbred
From a good home
Who married a naturally and culturally responsible husband
A family which honours value, culture , moral , ethics and tradition
Had to kneel down
And in humility for
Professor Olomola
Who was a one of the guests at
The first Ekiti State Council for Arts and Culture Stakeholders' Forum
Some believed it was a sacrilege
But
Bibire ko se fowora.
Bi a bini ko to ka tunra bi
