Mysterious Sunday yokoyoko
Since 1970 this man has been living a strange life,
he now needs help. Taiwo Abiodun writes.
Now at over 50 ,he had never
had sex with any woman not to talk of having a child he can call his own .Some believed he must have been
cursed while some said he had a
psychological problem yet many thought he must have lost his sanity , that is
the story
of Sunday Olounda who
is popularly known as Sunday yokoyoko.
For Sunday Olounda, 50, life has not been easy for him as he
has become a nuisance in his area and wherever he goes or lives. He has become an embarrassment to
himself and his family members. In Mafoluku -Oshodi , he is
known and popularly called Sunday yokoyoko(Sunday
who brings out his genital) .
Though he is said to be sane , while some doubt his insanity
others believe his problem is spiritual .His problem : he leaves his house early in the
morning and goes to the public places where
many people are gathered like motor
parks, Bus stops, classrooms , bring out his genital and then would start masturbating
until he is satisfied and releases spermatozoa.
Olounda a native of
Omuo, Akoko in Ondo state said he had never had sex in his life time and is always afraid to do it. According to him, his
problem started in 1970 when he was nine years old. His words’’ I dreamt that I
was naked in the public and people were watching me to
my own satisfaction. Immediately I woke up my head became hot, and I felt body itching, felt
dizzy and with a severe headache. In the morning before
the sun rose I started vomiting but in
the afternoon I was okay. Later what happened to me in my dream
manifested in the real world as I started practising it since 1970 .I would go to the public place
and if I see any woman carrying a baby
on her back I would feel like going naked just for to glance at my nakedness, then I would start
masturbating in her presence .I would not rape her but would like her to
see my genital.I asked some men like me whether they feel the same way
but I am surprised as they said
no.
Olounda does not have a girlfriend
and had never had one. He swore that he
had never had any sexual
intercourse with a woman in his life .’’The day, 1982 when I would have done and have the experience was when my people gave me money to convince them that I could have sex with a woman and then asked me to go and try some
prostitutes in my town. When I got there
I bargained with a prostitute , she agreed
and then went naked, she asked me to lie on her but I told her that I was
afraid and asked her to play with my
genital of which she did and I was relieved. Another time was of recent , few weeks ago
when I went to meet a prostitute at Isolo , after paying her I was
afraid to go into her in the room and I told her to hold on to my genital until
I was okay. I was afraid to insert my genital and go into her.’’ .
‘’If I see any woman I would be moved and have erection and would only want her to see my
nakedness , the worst thing is if I see a woman with a baby on her back
I could be licking the girdle , then I would be satisfied
Olourunda left Omuo
Oke Grammar
school in 1981 without completing his secondary
education because of this problem. He was caught in the act many times and was later
expelled from school and advised to go and find solution to his problem before returning to the school, he told this reporter/
On the efforts his parents made to find solutions to his problem, Olounda said ’’they went
to a lot of places .My parents took me to a herbalist in Iyara
town in Kwara state, it is on the way to
Kabba. I was given some concoction to drink and bath with the
belief that if the problem is man- made or was a curse laced on me it would go away .But when there was no
change , he took me to another herbalist who again tried in his
own little way , he took me to
the riverside for spiritual bath yet
nothing good came out it
He continued’’ I was taken to a Blacksmith who prepared concoction for me but all yielded no result. I went to
Okene to meet one Ohinen Salami, where I
was asked to bring dogs .My head was shaved and I bled and was told that the blood was the bad ones
that was disturbing me , they later rubbed
my head with an ointment that peppered my head so much that I
almost fainted. Yet nothing happened.’’.
When the above solutions failed , Olounda
now faced church where he believed he would
receive miracle, ’’I went to CAC
churches in Lagos,
Ikoyi in Ibadan,
Kwara and was even advised to see Pastor
Obadare.’’
He continued ‘’At Ketu
in Obadare Church, I was chained
on legs in order to observe the three
day dry fasting and chaining me down would
not make me go out to go out and eat and break the fast .I observed
the three day fasting, chained down. I spent six months in the church yet no
solution to the problem.
‘’I have gone to many hospitals like the ARO Mental hospital
and University Teaching hospital , I did medical tests, given some drugs
.In fact , some of the medical personnel accused me of coming to the hospital
because treatment was free, yet nothing
was found wrong with me.’’, he said .
After leaving the hospital without any success , Olounda did not stop
going to churches believing that he would get a cure one day and thus started going to various churches
like Deeper Life, Celestial ,Cherubim and Seraphim but did not receive healing .’’In spite all
these , I keep on doing what brought me
there and no healing’’, he lamented.
When Madam Agnes Obaniwa , 58, who is the elder sister to Olounda was contacted , she
said the effort she had made with other family members as
they had visited many churches,
hospitals and Native doctors in order to
find solution to his brother’s problem.’’ In fact that was what brought my
brother to Lagos , my parents tried their best. He came
to Lagos in
1980 because of his problem yet no solutions’’,Obaniwa said.
Asked whether the rumour that he impregnated a lady whom he
refused to accept his responsibility is true, the woman and his brother Olounda vehemently denied and
said ’’how can a 9year-old boy impregnated a woman at that age? The thing has
been worrying him at a tender age, not when he got to the puberty stage. How
will a man who had never slept with a
woman impregnate a woman. I don’t know
what could have caused it.
Obaniwa said she is not happy seeing her younger brother
who is supposed to be happily staying with his family still in this mess. ‘’I
don’t know who he had offended, we have
gone to places and it has brought shame to me and my family. Now if they chase
him out from the house I would ask him to go back to the village .He is not a
mad man ,’’she said.
Now Olounda is in a fix, the family of his benefactor are
planning to eject him out where he lives because they say he is a disgrace to them , while some good Samaritans are kicking against it,
for it is only Olounda that takes care of this man, who is down with stroke.
Pa Nurudeen Abayomi , a resident in the
community said he has known Olounda for
over 10years in his vicinity .According to Abayomi , Olounda is not a mad
person, he only has what one can call ,a spiritual problem of which only a
powerful man of God that can heal him. ‘’I have seen him masturbating several times and he does not attack anybody ,
he does not rape. My only concern is how
to rehabilitate this man whose life is wasting. He has no wife and now he is
facing ejection where he lives, and he
has no job to do .He is the only one taking care of his benefactor. I know if
the media carries his story he could get
assistance. We need to have sympathy for him , he is getting old and his life
is being wasting away’’
Another elderly man in the environment described Olounda as
an easy going man who lives his own life . ‘’He does not attack any lady, he does not
rape but mere sighting a crowd or seeing a woman he would remove all his
clothes and asked the women to be watching him while he would start masturbating.’’
When this reporter went to town , a woman told a story of a
young man who in the
early 80s would leave his office,
drive to a bush where a plantain trees are planted , removed his necktie and his trouser and would be masturbating. He was
however bailed out from the problem when it was later found that a lady in his office who was interested in him made
several love advances to him but he refused to bulge , the lady later
cast a spell on the man who had wanted to marry a lady of his
own choice . But , according to the
story the man was taken to places and was
freed from the curse the lady had laid on him and later went to
consummate his wedding and was living happily now.
Olounda needs help , he is now over 50years and now his head
has turned grey .Age is no longer on his
side, so good-spirited Nigerians should come to his aid.]
Who will assist him?.
