This one is for everyone who grew up peeling garlic/onions/ginger for monies, grinding pepper for grandma, peeling yam in Uncle’s house, washing rice in auntys kitchen, frying meat for Christmas, making sauce and soup for the family to eat, day after day. From childhood to adulthood, you still cook for self, family and friends. Let’s meet up once every month to collectively make our dinner, trade cooking secrets, explore flavors and exchange banters on any and everything while listening to cool music

NO MORE THE WASTED BREED
June 28, 2026 ⌚ 5:00pm The Vantage Barn @ The Grandeur 17 Billings Way, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.

NO MORE THE WASTED BREED

Elusu, the river goddess, is furious. Her waters — once sacred and life-giving — have been abused and polluted by the very people who depend on her. In retribution, she unleashes her wrath on a village already drowning in neglect. The people groan under nature’s punishment and their own suffering, exhausted by endless sacrifices that bring no relief. Yet Olokun, her husband and god of the sea, stands on the side of justice. He sees what the people refuse to: the problem isn’t just defiled waters, but a defiled system. Osofisan uses this mythic conflict between gods and humans to expose a deeper human crisis — the exploitation of the masses by the ruling class. With sharp irony and piercing questions, the play asks: Why must the “carrier” of sacrifice, suffering, and change always come from among the poor, the youth, and the vulnerable — and never from the rich and powerful? Laced with humor, dance and music, No More the Wasted Breed is more than lament. It’s a rallying cry. A riveting theatrical experience that asks one urgent question: How long shall a people remain the wasted breed? When the masses, mainly the youths refuse to be scapegoats and choose to build their own future, Osofisan declares: the age of the wasted breed is over.
