(Whatever will be, will be) is a lyric written by Jay Livingston in the 1950s and put to song by Doris Day.\u003cbr\u003eIn 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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQue Sera Sera is the story of the betrayal by the 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, and mentoring of their offspring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe two devil-incarnate genealogical fathers subjected their God's precious jewelled daughters, Iforiti, Taiwo and Kehinde, to draconic enslavement of trade by barter to the marital graveyard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClosely knitted to this warfare are the deadly surrealistic competitive roles played by the satellite's immediate family members to swerve the orbiting poly-family off course. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMama, Aaye's elder sister, is a classic toxic example of the African devilishness in the book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNotwithstanding, the central theme of the novel, Que Sera Sera, is embedded in the aphorism \u003ci\u003e(whatever will be, will be). \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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 thunderstruck by the karma law of: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhatever a man soweth, he will surely reap.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe duos were squarely nailed on the cross of poverty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis was an exhibition of thorough, bred-motherhood-mien, despite the aura of domineering male ego haunting their world! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe sub-theme of curiosity was another competent tool that navigated the girls through the labyrinth of their life ocean! The girls were struck with curiosity virus, unravelling the veils covering the fountain of knowledge through education encompassed in books, slates, speeches, songs, Christian hymns etc. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnother 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: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn God we live; \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn work, we forage \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn education, our future is guaranteed! \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWas pursued with vigor!\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQue Sera Sera became the paddling tools for the girls to navigate through the 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!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lasekan Obasola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798390806449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Lasekan Obasola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49167627878655,"sku":"9798390806449","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/que-sera-sera-lasekan-obasola-9798390806449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
