ENGLISH TRANSLATION

All the animals (Dog, Panther, Leopard, Lion, Monkey, Jackal, Cat, Donkey/Ass, Tortoise etc.) gathered together to discuss the vices they noticed in their wives. Dog’s wife was said to be committing adultery, Leopard’s wife was insolent, Cat’s wife was stealing, while Monkey’s wife was quarrelsome etc.

All the animals noticed that there was no comment from the Tortoise other than nodding and sighing. The Lion then asked what Yanibo (Tortoise’s wife) vice was? The Tortoise rose up and said to the other animals that all the vices they have mentioned could not be compared with his wife’s only vice because “Yanibo has no shame”.

In the United Kingdom, when a Politician commits any act of shame like adultery, stealing, taking bribe, on or before he/she is caught would resign in order not to perverse the cause of justice but killers, thieves, adulterers etc. are common among the Nigerian Politicians because they have no shame. They use their position to perverse the cause of justice.

This Yoruba Folklore that depicted that “Shamelessness is the king of all Vices” is worthy of note for the people to be mindful of the kind of Politician by casting their votes to elect “Decent” Politicians to repair what the” Shameless” ones has destroyed.
