Que sera sera! (Whatever will be, will be) is a lyric written by Jay Livingston in the 1950's and put to song by Doris Day.In my research for an appropriate word-navigator; I found Que sera sera the most appropriate idiom to drive the engine of this unique story of dog-eats-dog! In essence, Que sera sera is a realistic story built on the pilgrimage of a girl-child, Iforiti (persistence) through the stormy waters of this desperate world of masculinity. It is the expository narrative of the hazardous navigation of the ocean of this world that infant girls had to waddle-paddle through in the post-independent Africa. Ironically, such inhuman practice has not died completely as it is still prevalent, despite the advent of the jet age of today's hybrid world.Que sera sera is the story of the betrayal by African Fatherhood of their infant daughters as epitomized by the duo of Ifarotimi and Aaye. The duo fathers conspired against the Almighty God's will for parenthood protection, nurturing, guardianship, mentoring of their offspring.The two devil-incarnate genealogical fathers subjected their God's precious jeweled daughters; Iforiti, Taiwo and Kehinde to a draconic enslavement of trade by barter to marital graveyard.The novel reveals the complex intricacies that be-devilled the survivalist practice of polygamy in Africa: the do-or-die struggle amongst the antagonistic-enslaved wives in the prison-harems of Ifaro and Aaye!Closely-knitted to this war-fare is the deadly surrealistic competitive roles played by the satellite immediate family members to swerve the orbiting poly-family off course. Mama; Aaye's elder sister is a classic toxic example of the African devilishness in the book.Notwithstanding, the central theme of the novel, Que sera sera is embedded in the aphorism (whatever will be, will be). The book is anchored in the school of thought that human existence is pre-ordained by the Almighty creator-God-pre-destination. In consequence; that a man's life is in the hands of fate - not that of any man!The duo fathers; Ifaro and Aaye, supra-usurped the function of the Almighty God by exploiting the gender-vulnerability of the tender feminine creatures under their tutelage in exchange for their own selfish enterprise. Unfortunately for the fathers, they were thunder-struck by the karma law of: Whatever a man soeth; he will surely reapThe duos were squarely nailed on the cross of poverty.The embryonic girls very early in life had a strong faith in their invisible creator, God, through religiosity and their innate abilities. This monumental attachment was acquired through their foliage-acquaintances with their mother, by their speeches, hard work, dexterity and forth righteousness. This was an exhibition of thorough, bred-motherhood-mien, despite the aura of male-domineering ego haunting their world!The sub-theme of curiosity was another skilled-tool that navigated the girls through the labyrinth of their life ocean! The girls were struck with curiosity virus, unravel the veils covering the fountain of knowledge through education encompassed in books, slates, speeches, songs, Christian hymns etc.Another sub-theme is their choice of the Tripod Prism of Marshal Triangle "∆" project cum 3Gs which landed them triumphantly on the shores of their dream and future. Their guardianship motto: In God we live;In work we forageIn education, our futureIs guaranteed!Was pursued with vigor!Que sera sera became the paddling tools for the girls to navigate through man-infested stormy waters of life. By implication, everyone's life; be you a boy or girl is PRIMARILY in the hands of the Almighty God (Fate) and SECONDARILY in his or her own hands! Our Fate is therefore in our own naked hands!
