Baba Areogun and Baba Lamidi Fakaye inspired all my work at Parson's School of design in the nineties. I must thank Father Kevin Carroll for his awesome book: Yoruba Religious Carving as well.

Folarin Kolawole, this is bush baby, called Ohaha in Ekiti, or Ofafa in some other Yoruba dialects. At nights it sounds like laughter, you know that ''hahahahahaha'' sound. You see, the ones that carries lantern and mat which Yorubas call ''Egbere'' is not bush baby, it is just a myth from folktales. Soyinka gave it the name ''Ghommid'' in his book (Forest of Thousand Demons) Some village people might claim its existence, but no one has ever seen one. Guess what, I ve killed OHAHA before at obanla in FUTA and I ate the meat and it was so palatable!!!
