Between TOS Benson and Folake Solanke: A Beleaguered love story

Duke Orsino in ecstasy and fantasy, sang melodiously in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night- “If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die”. Duke Orisono was insanely in love with a wealthy and resistant lady, who was in mourning of her brother and was annoyed, by Orsinos inappropriate attention. The Duke had stalked himself sick with his own passion. He was described as a “melancholic poseur.” Chief Sogboyega Odulate alias “The Blessed Jacob”, otherwise known as “Alabukun”, was Folake Solanke’s illustrious, notable, distinguished and prominent father. He patented the popular “Alabukun” drug. Folake was his doting daughter.
