Some of the Osun towns like Osogbo had willingly come under Ibadan protection. More force was used in the subjugation of the towns further to the east. The Ijesha proved difficult to control.

" ONE CORNER, HELL CORNERS " You let it go The beast hiding in you Breaking loose from common sense Into an abnormal scene The presures and pleasures Consumption of useful energies Whisking the waist as it emergies Banging against substance of ridicule "One corner dance" Possessed with a demonic trance Enslaved when the sound blinks Drenched with funicating drinks Legs swinging in the air Intoxicated sights of I don't care Clinging to soles and bars Flaunting on poles and cars Apologies to sodom and Gomorrah For we are now in a worst era Where one corner is dominating And Holy brains are masturbating. © PENDIATORS SERIES @Eddy P Wright
