Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four

1. Now Ataba and Uyami who escaped from the fierce terror of Adoonobo followed Adaviruku to a rocky land. And Adaviruku made a hut in that land. And Ataba and Uyami lived with him.
2. Now the name of the land was Adavi. And Adaviruku gave his strength to the land to make sure it was great. And he became a farmer and a hunter. And he went with Ataba to many towns afar and sold his farm products and bush kills.
3. And some homos began to move into the land of Adavi, for a mountain had built itself upon the land. And Adavi had named the mountain Ataba-Uyami, which was the combination of the names of his two siblings.
4. And when many mountain climbers and tourists heard how a mountain had been formed in Adavi, they began to go after it to seek it so that they might worship it.
5. For they believed that it was a god.
6. Now Adavi said to Ataba and Uyami, let us not be slack, for our ancestors who give us this mountain have given it to us to that we might be deified also as they are deified.
7. Remember now how our ancient fathers are now the gods we seek and speak about in the land. Remember Adabara, Ochavuchangudu, Adijo and Ohinoyi and our goddesses Eniyamere and Onize. All these homos were first homos like us in their days before they become gods and goddesses to us.
8. Therefore I see it as no evil to deify ourselves also and then we shall be deified.
9. Now Ataba and Uyami said, how shall it be done? And Adavi said, climb over the mountain, both of you, and I shall remain below it.
10. And when the homos come to worship the mountain, I shall say to them, give us ram and crops to make sacrifice to this god. And whatever they bring as food and meat shall I roast below the mountain.
11. And when you see the flame of fire arise beside the mountain, you shall let down a uruku with a rope. And in the uruku I shall put the things which they bring before their eyes. And you shall pull it up.
12. And whenever they see how you pull up the uruku with the things on it, they shall be surprised and say, we see how the gods lift up the sacrifice right before our own eyes.
13. Now Ataba and Uyami began to mount upon the mountain called Ataba Uyami.
14. And when they reached to its top, they said, surely the gods our ancestors have put everything in order for us on this mountain.
15. For we thought that we shall be melted with the heat of the sun here, but it is even cooler than we had thought. And a well water is upon it also that we might not get dry and die.
16. Now while Ataba and Uyami were praising their ancestors, they saw a smoke arise from the base of the mountain. And they let down the uruku which they had tied a long rope upon.
17. And when Adavi who sent the smoke up saw the uruku, he said to the people who came, the gods Ataba and Uyami have sent down the uruku to accept your sacrifices. Now they shall take it up by themselves.
18. So Adavi filled the uruku with the things which they had brought. And they upon the mountain fetched up the roasted meat. And when they had seen what was in it, they said, it is roasted meat from the homos beneath the mountain.
19. And they fed upon the meat with great delight and appetite. And for an exchange, Ataba said, let us put two cowries in this fetcher and send it down. And the homos shall rush to get the cowries.
20. And so Ataba put two cowries into the uruku and sent it down. And when the homos saw the fetcher coming down, they said, it is as if the gods need more meat. And when they went close to the uruku, they saw that it contained two cowries. And they rushed to get them, saying, they are divine cowries.
21. And there was a stampede, but the homos said, even if we get injured and die for the sake of sending meat and sacrifices to the gods, we shall not be moved. For we know that the divine cowries sent by the gods are able to make us great and wealthy.
22. And Adavi said to them, if you give to the gods, you will receive in return. And the land of Adavi became great because many homos came from the south and east and west and North to give sacrifices of meat and crops to Ataba and Uyami who lived upon the mountain.

Chapter Thirty-Eight
1. In the twenty-sixth year of Ometere as the king of Okerune, there was a great fight among the masquerades and the priests. For some clans wanted the masks to be worn by their people instead of the people of the other clans.
2. Now the priests fought among themselves, for a priest called Onuya came with twenty homos to beat up the masquerades while they were performing.
3. Now the fight was great and many homos were killed and injured.
4. And the king, Ohinoyi Ometere said, let the festival cease for the moment. For it is not good that these killings should continue.
5. And they obeyed the voice of the king. And for three years after, the festival did not take place. And the homos from Itaho came to see the king Ometere, saying, let the festival resume again. For we value it in Itaho more than in any other places.
6. And the king said, I do not have the thought of bringing it back, for the people of the land do not make it a sacred festival. But they love to shed blood during the festival. And if blood is shed in a festival, what sanity does it bring?
7. Now if you wish, you can start even the festival in your own land. For even Okatahi my late brother who began it was later one of you until his death. Therefore take the festival to your place, but make sure you do not mix violence with it.
8. Now when Ometere had said this, the homos of Itaho told their king. And he accepted that the festival should be done in their own town. And so the festival was done yearly in Itaho till these days.
9. Now a time came after the death of Ometere that the number of homos entering Okerune to dwell was very much more than those who moved out of it. And the son of Ometere called Achigidi, being the Ohinoyi said, let no homo be allowed to enter Okerune henceforth.
10. For the land is full to the brim. So it was that the borders were tightened and no homo was allowed to come to Okerune.
11. Now about that same time, there arose a very great famine in Okerune and in Itaho and in many places of Ebir lands. And the homos of Ebir lands began to depart the land. For the famine was very long. And locusts had invaded the whole places.
12. Now the famine was also much in Takumi and in Ida and in many other places.
13. And the homos of all the lands affected began to migrate towards Juku, which was a little land surrounded by a very great forest.
14. Now the name of the forest was Kuara, which by interpretation was a forest near the river, for it was around River Negre and river Chadda.
15. And the forest was filled with palm trees which were called rafa in the tongue of the first settler upon the land, who had migrated far away from the land. For they had left the land for about two hundred years before.
16. And many of them had settled at Yande which was far east of river Negre.
17. Now when many lands had found the forest, they said, surely this is a good place to settle. For the locusts have not invaded this place yet. And when they began to clear the forest, the homos of Juku attacked them, saying, why have you come to destroy our habitat?
18. And the people of different languages and ethnics said to the homos of Juku, is there not enough land here to dwell? For the lands of Okerune and Itaho and Ida and Takumi and other lands are under attacks by the locusts.
19. Therefore we have been forced to migrate to this place. Now let us settle in peace and we shall not trouble you.
20. So Juku accepted all the lands into the forest of Kuara. And the whole forest was named Kuara-rafa, saying, it is a watered forest filled with the rafa trees.
21. So did Ebir people and Igala and Edoma and Tampa and many tongues dwell together in Kuara-rafa with Juku. And there was peace among them for a long time.

Chapter Thirty-Seven
1. While the five homos of Adogwu were away, the king of Koto sent thirteen of his servants to Obaji, saying, be our ally and we shall protect you in times of danger.
2. And Obaji said, what do you mean? Has the king not sent to us some homos about a year ago, saying, be our friend? And we have given our reply. Therefore why did he say again to us, be our friend?
3. And the thirteen homos said, it is not so, for the king has never sent anyone before until now. And Obaji said, those whom he sent have dwelt with us for a year now. And we have given them houses and lands and wives and servants. Why do you now say that you have sent no one before?
4. Now the king and the thirteen homos from Koto went to the place where the homos from Adogwu possessed. And when they found them, the homos said to Obaji, you have been fooled by us for a year. For we are from Adogwu, the land started by your enemy. For the first five which came to your land returned and told Adogwu the name of your land. And we were sent after them. And we put the tribal marks of the Kotoans on our faces.
5. Now when Obaji heard their confession, he said, O, the blindfold which I saw in my revelation! For indeed I have been deceived.
6. Now before Obaji could do anything to the ten homos of Adogwu, the two hundred warriors arrived with the five homos of Adogwu who went to bring them.
7. And they captured the king quickly, but three homos of Koto escaped. Now the two hundred warriors began to destroy both young and old in Obaji land. And they prevailed quickly over the Warriors of Obaji land because they were caught suddenly.
8. And they took over the land. Now some of them took Obaji to the land of Adogwu to meet him. And Adogwu said, the battle of you and I shall be put to an end even now. For I shall be the victor, for I shall kill you.
9. And Obaji said, can you kill my soul? For it is my body you can kill and not my soul. For if I die, my soul shall be found in other spaces of the universe. Therefore I do not fear death from you.
10. And when Adogwu saw that death was not a threat to Obaji, he was angry. And he determined to give him pains rather than immediate death. And Adogwu took a sharp cutlass and cut off his right hand, saying, your left hand is useless and weak, therefore you are made weak.
11. And slowly shall I kill you, O Obaji. And the land which you labour upon for more than twenty years is now mine.
12. Now Obaji groaned in pain, for he had just been amputated. And while Obaji was alone, he said, my ancestors and my gods, rise to my rescue. If I die, let it not be by the hands of Adogwu.
13. I know it is impossible that he would not kill me, for I am helpless, but if nature and my ancestors are actually conscious, let something be done. For I do not fear death, but I fear a history which shall say, Obaji died in the hands of Adogwu.
14. Now when Obaji slept, he saw himself flying, but now he had two complete hands. And Adogwu was below him, staring up at him. And like the page of a leave, the vision flipped away.
15. And Obaji awoke and wondered what it was.
16. Now after one week, one thousand warriors came to the land of Obaji from Koto. For the three homos of Koto who escaped had gone to tell the king the story. And the king sent a thousand warriors.
17. Now the warriors captured the Warriors of Adogwu who were in Obaji. And they proceeded to take Adogwu land.
18. Now when news came to Adogwu, saying, the homos of Koto had invaded our land, he took a knife and went in to Obaji to kill him quickly. And he forcefully pushed the knife towards his chest, but Obaji moved towards the right side swiftly. And the knife went below his armpit, just between his single arm and his chest.
19. And he held the knife with his right hand and fell upon Adogwu. And with his single hand, which was the left hand, did he cut off the head of Adogwu and when he had succeeded, he took the same knife and cut off the rope on his legs.
20. And Obaji escaped into the hands of the Warriors of Koto. And they helped him.
21. And the land of Adogwu became the possession of Koto. And Obaji was taken back to his land.
21. And when Obaji saw the damage which Adogwu had done to his land, he wept and said, if I die and return to the earth ten times, I shall seek whoever is the soul who has returned as Adogwu. And our fight shall continue forever.
22. And after five months, Obaji died, being only sixty six years of age. And he was buried in the palace of the king which was repaired by the Kotoans. And the land of Obaji enjoyed protection and help from the Kotoans until they became great.

Chapter Thirty-Six
1. In the twentieth year of Ometere upon the throne of Okerune, the land of Obaji began to be well known. For homos from different places and lands began to come to the land and expand it.
2. And Obaji, being the first to be in the land, became the ruler of it. And it was soon known that the homo of a land two hundred metres away were encroaching upon the land of Obaji.
3. And Obaji said, go and find out whom they are. And when they brought back news to him, they said, these are the families of Adogwu who was exiled from Okerune. And Obaji said, surely, they shall do more than this when they find out the history of our own land also.
4. Therefore guard the boarders of our land more carefully. And we shall not attack them until the time when they shall do more than they can handle. For we shall not be a starter of wars.
5. Now Adogwu sent twenty warriors, saying, go into the land next to us and find out its name, it's size and population. And we shall know how to attack them when due.
6. Now five of the twenty homos took bottles and broke them. And they made the tribal marks of the homos of Koto on their faces, saying, the homos of Koto have been known so well for their friendliness.
7. And all lands loved them. So we shall enter this land as if we are from there.
8. Now at the border, they asked them, saying, why do you come to the land? And they said, the king of Koto have sent us to your king, saying, let us be friend.
9. Now they took the five homos to Obaji the king. And he said, welcome to Obaji land. Now we have heard that you come from Koto.
10. Now you shall return to Koto to the king and tell him that we shall be friends with him.
11. And the king gave the five homos some gifts, saying, give all of them to the king. And say to him, it is from Obaji, one who came to this land to start his own kingdom. For he is formally from Okerune.
12. And he came here to dwell without being exiled.
13. Now the homos from Adogwu did not depart until the full moon. For they remained in Obaji and enjoyed how the servants of the king were showing them round the land. And they saw both the weakest and the strongest points in the land.
14. Now after ten days that the first five departed the land, another fifteen homos came and said, the king of Koto have sent us. And he is very happy for the offer of friendship which you have accepted from us.
15. But he said that for him to be sure that you have accepted his offer, let a land be given to us to build houses upon and to farm for a year. And after a year, the king shall come to this land himself to see us.
16. And if he met us in good condition, he shall help this land greatly and make it bigger and richer. And he shall supply food and horses and camels to the land in abundance.
17. And Obaji was glad when he heard this. And immediately he accepted the fifteen homos and gave them what they had requested.
18. Now the fifteen homos enjoyed greatly in Obaji. And they had wives and farms and servants which Obaji had given them.
19. Now on a certain day, Obaji dreamt and saw himself blindfolded with a thick black cloth. And he awoke and wondered what the dream was about. And his mind did not go towards the homos of Adogwu who posed like the homos from Koto.
20. Now five out of the fifteen homos left the land as if they were going to Koto to see the king. And their wives and servants followed them. And they took them to Adogwu instead of Koto.
21. And they said to Adogwu the king, the plan was perfect and it is still perfect till today. For we have stayed for almost one year in Obaji. And there is nothing about the land which we do not know. They are not up to a thousand I'm population yet. And they hide in rocks and caves during wars, for we have been shown the rocks and caves where they take refuge in.
22. For all their rivers and rocks are known to us. And the strength of all their borders are known to us also. For the strength of the borders close to our land are the strongest, but that which led to Odi and Ovi and Ida are not strong at all.
23. Therefore O king, they are well prepared for our attacks, therefore let us not go to them through our land. But let us pass through our ally lands when the time for attack is ripe.
24. And Adogwu said, who are those women and men which you have brought with you?
25. And they said, they are our wives and servants given to us by the king Obaji. For he was very foolish to have believed our lies.
26. And Adogwu said, Obaji has always been foolish, from the time when he was in Okerune as a youth, even till now his old age.
27. And now I shall send him quickly to his grave before he shall realise it. So let these women and the servants be kept in bounds here. And you shall go with two hundred warriors of the land to attack Obaji.
28. Make sure also that you take him alive and bring him to me. For I shall make a mock out of every organ of his body.
29. So the five homos took the two hundred warriors of Adogwu land with them and went through Odi which was an ally land.
30. For the border of Adogwu and Obaji was well secured.

Chapter Thirty-Five
1. Now when Obaji was the chief priest, he made a new rule, saying, let no human sacrifice ever be made. Let me one sacrifice his child or neighbour for money, for money cannot be made by rituals, neither can the gods make money for the homos.
2. But let every homo work hard to get money.
3. Now here are the things which you can come to the chief priest for; come when you have need of good decisions. Come when you are sick. Come when you are not sure whether you are mentally balanced.
4. But do not come when you need money, for I do not make money. Do not come when you are already completely mad, for the solution to madness is only with nature, therefore do not be deceived by any priest or herbalists who require plenty money from you, saying, I shall cure the madness of your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, or even your child.
5. But if you need advice on how you should deal with your mad ones, come to me and I shall give you such advice.
6. However, do not give up on your mad ones. Rather, meditate on their behalves day after day and call their names. And if it is the desire of nature, it shall intervene. For no one knows what nature works upon before granting the request of a homo.
7. Whether it works upon the strength of an emotion or the strength of a wish or the strength of perseverance or the strength of meditation, no one knows.
8. If you make sacrifices to the gods, do not chase away the mad people who have come to eat the sacrifice. For even I as a god desire that the mad people should be fed daily.
9. And where there are no sacrifices made, what shall the mad people eat?
10. Therefore do not chase them away when they eat the food, for the gods have no need of your food to eat.
11. Now also, Adogwu my predecessor has made it an untold culture to sacrifice a woman to the gods on every Ekuechi festival period, saying, women deserve to be treated as such.
12. But I, Obaji, shall not allow this anymore. For this is a bad culture.
13. Now I have spoken with the king, saying, it is either the killing of a woman for sacrifice on Ekuechi is stopped or the Ekuechi festival itself should stop.
14. And Ohinoyi Ometere said, the culture which Ohinoyi Okatahi began shall not be stopped by me. For that alone is what he is remembered for in this land. But I do not support the killing of a woman for sacrifice myself, for that was the idea of Adogwu and not mine.
15. And he said that it was the idea of the gods and the gods shall be angry if it is taking away.
16. Now I said, Adogwu is indeed a wicked soul. For even when Ovavi the wife of Ohinoyi Okatahi was in charge of the Ohinoyi festival, she did not involve human sacrifice in it. Why then did Adogwu bring in such thing?
17. So I Obaji have removed human sacrifice from the festival henceforth.
18. Now all the things Obaji said were not satisfactory to the other priests and herbalists of the land. And they connive together to see how he shall be stopped.
19. Now they said, the women which we have encountered in the past, we beat them and let them go free. But henceforth, let us watch out for any woman. And if anyone is caught, we shall kill her for a sacrifice.
20. For in doing such shall we be doing the will of the gods.
21. And so they found a woman who did not know that the festival had begun. And she came into the land and was caught. And the herbalists and traditionists cut her to pieces and shared her organs.
22. And one called Omije took the head of the woman. Now two days after, Obaji visited the house of Omije and saw the head there. For he kept it in a place where it could be easily seen.
23. And Obaji cried out, saying, what have you done? And Omije told him all about it. And Obaji became angry. And he called all the traditionalists and herbalists together, saying, what have you done?
24. And they said, she saw the Ekuechi masquerades with her eyes, which is a great abomination. And Obaji said, the judgement for such thing is not death, so why did you kill her and even cut her to pieces like this?
25. And they spoke against Obaji, saying, who even made you a chief priest? For we do not know you among the priests or herbalists before until the shameful fall of Adogwu. Therefore do not interfere in our matter for you are not superior to us.
26. Now Obaji was angry and sad. And he went to the king, saying, I shall give up my position as the chief priest of the land, because I have been under-appreciated. And Obaji gave up his position.
27. Then the other priests and traditionalists came to the king, saying, release Adogwu and set him back in the position of a chief priest. And Ometere said, it is impossible for me to put Adogwu back into the position which he held before, but I shall exile him from the land with his children.
28. So Adogwu and his children were sent out of the land. And after a short while, Obaji saw in his meditation that he should leave the land also. And he left the land to begin a land which was named after him.

Chapter Eleven
1. Now the children of Enesi fought to take back the throne from Ohinoyi all the days of Ohinoyi. But he was strong. And because he was much loved by the people, he excelled. And the children of Enesi were caught one after the other. And Ohinoyi asked, saying, tell me anything that I should do for you children of Enesi and I shall not decline.
2. But in the matter of the throne shall I not grant to you.
3. And Adabara said, let your wife be granted to me as mine. And Ohinoyi said, you have asked an impossible thing. For it is an abomination in our land for two men to share one woman.
4. But that which is acceptable is for two or more women to share a man. Therefore this shall not be granted to you. But ask that which is possible and I shall do it. And Adabara said, give me your daughter to marry.
5. And Ohinoyi said, I shall grant this to you. And Ohinoyi gave Adabara his first daughter Omata as wife. And the other children of Eness asked for the children of Ohinoyi as wives also. And he granted them their wish.
6. Now Ohinoyi did many great things to the land of Ebir when he was the king. For he constructed a great market square . And many came from other lands to buy and sell on every market day. And Ohinoyi taxed them.
7. And the female homos of Ebir were provided with cotton. And they made traditional clothes and sold them to the visitors on the market days. And the men learnt how to dye clothes. At this became a source of income for them.
8. Now when the homos of Agarapa saw how there was great success in Ebir, they began to find how they shall contend with it in wars. And they got ready to fight. And they came at night and set the workshops of the women of Ebir on fire.
9. And when it was day, the atrocities were much. And when Ohinoyi heard about it, he was very grieved. And he said, who had done this? And they said, they were the homos of Agarapa our neighbours. And Ohinoyi called all the Wise homos of the land, saying, what shall we do?
10. And Otori who was the chief of the priests said, why should we delay fighting back? For they have ignited the fire and we shall give them what they want. But let us first send a message to their king concerning that which was done to us. And let us see if he was in support of it or not.
11. And the king of Agarapa, when he had been consulted, did say, we do not care whether those who attacked you are from our land or not. For if you have protected your land very well, it should have been well secured.
12. And when Ohinoyi heard the response of the king, he said, this is a bad response. And he called all the chiefs together. And the children of Enesi were there also. And he said, who shall lead the homos to fight the homos of Agarapa?
13. And they feared to take up the challenge because the homos of Agarapa had lived upon myths which they had used to protect the land from the beginning. For the land, being very little among greater lands like Anpa, Idom, Ihima and other greater lands have made up a fearful story, saying, the vultures are the protector of our land.
14. And whichever soul is coming to do harm to the land, the vultures and the dragons shall eat them alive.
15. And this myth had protected the land from external attacks for many years. And they did evil against greater land without being attacked in return.
16. Now the sons of Enesi said, we shall go to the land first to find out how we shall be able to conquer them. And Ohinoyi accepted that they should go. And they went into the land of Agarapa; all the sons of Ohinoyi and five fighters of the King with them.
17. And five giants stopped them, saying, what have you come to do? And they said, we have come to tell you of the plan of five lands. For they have planned to come here suddenly to destroy the land.
18. Therefore choose the warriors of the land to stay at the borders so that you could watch them and kill them before they come into the village. Now when the king of Agarapa heard it, he was glad, saying, we shall take them by surprise.
19. And he arranged how all the guards of the land shall stay at the borders that night. And when it was night, Adabara and the others began to go from house to house, knocking at their doors and saying, come out and flee, for many lands have come against us.
20. And the people in the houses opened their doors to flee, but Adabara and the others entered into their houses and killed them.
21. So did they to twenty-one houses that night, saying, come out and flee for the lands have come against us. And when the house owners had opened their doors, they had access and killed them.
22. But all the guards of the land were away at the borders, waiting for the coming of other lands to attack them. And Adabara said, now let us go and set the houses of their chiefs on fire, even to the palace of their king also.
23. And they did as they had said. And they escaped to the north of the greatest market of Ebir land, which was called Okeoja, where many homos of the land of Odua dwelt in.
24. And they said to them, we are from Okerune village, but we missed our way. And the homos of the land provided shelter for them that night until the morning time.
25. Now the morning after, they went to Okerune and told them of their deeds. And Ohinoyi and the chiefs said, children of Enesi and the guards of the land, you have done a great feat if truly you did as you boasted of.
26. And you shall all be rewarded with lands and houses. For you did not think of the fearful myths surrounding the land of Agarapa. But you took your life in your hands and went fearlessly to cause tremor in the land.
27. And the children of Enesi said, Enesi our father had said to us that the weapons of smaller villages and towns are fearful myths to protect themselves from external attacks. For physical weapons shall not be enough for a small village to protect itself.
28. And if their myths could be destroyed, then the land shall be rendered defenceless. That have we gone ahead to do by going into the land. And we saw neither vulture nor dragon in the land. And we destroyed them and escaped alive out of the land.
29. Now Adabara said, O king, let the warriors of the land now go to attack Agarapa in multitude, for their hands are now very weak. But let us not go alone, but with other lands which Agarapa had attacked in the past.
30. Let the homos of Vado go with us to make sure that the land is totally ruined. And let to living soul be found in it forever. For they have enjoyed enough of dominance through fear and myths for many years.
31. Now on the third day, the homos of Okerune went with the homos of other lands who were warriors. And Agarapa was weak, for they were still mourning all the dead of their land. And the homos of Okerune and other lands fought and defeated them. And they did not spare any man. And they took their women away to work for them as slaves.
32. And the land of Agarapa was left empty, such that it became a bush when no one lived upon it after.

Chapter Ten
1. Now Omeiza the king began to be ill . For he was full of age. And he called all the villagers together, saying, it is not possible that I should allow my first or second son rule the land. For they are full of arrogance.
2. And you know how they do not regard the elders, neither do they behave themselves in all good morality. And I have chosen Enesi the third son over them to be the ruler of the land.
3. And if Eniyamere their sister had not been a homofal, I would have preferred her, for she is good and meek in all manner of behaviours. And she did not boast of herself as the daughter of the ruler whenever she was with her husband Ohinoyi.
4. But our custom does not permit the rulership of a homofal over the land where there are homofel in it.
4. Now let Enesi be the ruler of the land. And the spirits of our ancestors shall be upon him and guide him and protect him. And he shall stay long upon the throne.
5. Now Enesi became the king. And when Omeiza died, he buried him properly in a land called Otori where the masquerades of the land dwelt.
6. Now Enesi gave birth to eighteen children altogether. And the name of the first son was Aduho and the name of the second was Onoto. And Onoto was a great pretender. And he hated his brother Aduho because he shall be the heir to the throne of his father.
7. And Onoto knew that Enesi their father loved him greatly. And he began to find how he shall conspire against Aduho so that he could be sent away permanently.
8. And Onoto conspired against Aduho his elder brother. And he was sent away. And Onoto thought that he shall be the heir to the throne of his father after Aduho had left. But himself died shortly after.
9. And Enesi wept so much, for he loved Onoto very well. And about the same time, Onuchi one of his wives delivered a baby boy. And Enesi called his name Onoto, for he thought that it was Onoto who had returned in another form.
10. And Enesi swore, saying, this child shall inherit my position after my death. And no one again have I given the throne to among my children. For he alone is worthy to sit on my throne, being the return of Onoto who was killed by his brother.
11. Now all the other children of Enesi began to hate Onoto so much because he was a little baby and he was not worth to be given the position of a heir even when he does not know what he would become.
12. And Adabara being the oldest of all the sons of Enesi called all his brothers together, saying, how can Onoto be promised the throne even when he is only a baby? For he does not even know at this moment that he is in existence, for he is only two years of age.
13. Now let us kill him before he grows up and begin to know the purpose of our father for him.
14. Now they took the baby in a sack until they had reached a bush. And they set him on fire in the bush. But they did not know that Omeyi, one of their sisters, followed them from behind. For she had suspected them when they took the baby.
15. And Omeyi took the matter to her father. And when her brothers returned, Enesi challenged them. And they denied. And Omeyi took Enesi her father to the place where her brothers had killed the baby.
16. And Enesi saw the burnt child. And he could not recognize it, for it was burnt beyond what anyone could recognise. And Enesi wept from the bush to his house.
17. And he shed tears upon the throne, whose thing was a great abomination in the land. For whichever king wept upon the throne shall leave the throne for another person from another family.
18. And the king called Eniyamere his elder sister and said, did Omeiza our father not think of you as the king of the land before? But he could not go against the tradition of the land, therefore he made me king.
19. And since the beginning of my rule till these days, I have not enjoyed my life. For my children have scattered the land upon my head with their sacrileges and I am ashamed to the bone.
20. Therefore Ohinoyi your husband have I made the king forever. And let his name not just be a name but a title shall it be. And whosoever shall be made king shall have the title to himself.
21. And as for me, I shall depart from the land forever because of shame and that which is done to my good name by my children.
22. So Enesi made Ohinoyi his brother-in-law the king of the land. And he left the land, moving northward with some of his servants who loved him. And Ohinoyi became the king of the land.

never agreed with the use of human beings for ritual before and I shall not agree to it.
14. For if it is the ancestors who demand the sacrifice of human, then it is not a good thing. For how shall they require human life to help us? And I do not see any human sacrifice done with answers coming to our request from the gods.
15. Therefore let the sacrifices of the homos cease, for it does not answer any of our requests. And they rebuked him and said, when Onsachi was sacrificed to the gods, did rain not fall after? And he is now made a god to worship by some for his great deed.
16. And Onoruoiza said, rain has its season and if it does not fall when it should fall, it is requested that we should have patience, rather than sacrificing the life of a homo for it. For a year shall not pass without rain falling upon the land, but there could be delay, and it is not because the gods are angry at us, but it is the doing of nature.
17. Now they said to Onoruoiza, you speak like a fool. For if you know how to cure this disease without making sacrifice, why have you not done it? And Onoruoiza said, there is no disease that cannot be cured by the herbs. For even if there is delay to finding the cure, it does not mean that there is no cure for it.
18. And he who knows the name of a leaf shall be able to use it for the cure it has in it. Now be patient and I shall go before the trees and meditate before them until I have found that tree which has the cure in it.
19. Now Onoruoiza journeyed deep into the forest of Taho and lay by every tree which he saw night after night with deep meditation, asking in his meditation for the name of the tree and the work it performed. And after about a month, he lay beside a tree which the herbalists called tihoko by its leaf. And he saw in his meditation how the tree waved to him gently.
20. And Onoruoiza arose and said, surely the leaf of this tree is the cure for this disease. For none of the other trees waved at me except this. And he fetched two leaves and made herbal powder with it. And he took it to the place where those who had the disease were lain. For no one stayed close to them for fear of contracting the deadly disease.
21. And Onoruoiza gave them the thing to lick. And three of them were healed after two days. And Onoruoiza told all the homos of the village what had happened. And they gave the thing to all they who had it. And all they who did not have it also tasted of it for prevention.
22. And they praised Onoruoiza for the great deeds he had done.
23. Now on a certain day when Onoruoiza fell into a trance, he saw one of his ancestors. And she said to him, Onyeche was I called while I was on earth.
24. And Onyeche said, all the trees know the intentions of us. For many things which you see in the world are there so that messages could be passed from one being to another. And whatever thing is done by a homo shall affect the whole universe. For nothing is isolated in the universe.
25. And the head of a homo is a store of not only the information which he shall experience on earth, but also the information which he did not know that he had experienced in the past. And some of these information can be accessed during meditation and deep sleep caused by excess emotion.
26. Now before Onoruoiza could ask anything further, he awoke. And he said, the things which are hidden from the eyes of a homo is far much more than the things which are revealed to him.

.

not come into this land anymore forever.
9. And Adeiza said, Okehi have I chosen as a heir to the throne. Therefore when I die, he shall be the ruler of this land.
10. Now Iraje and the five homos went northward and southward and westward to live. And they had children in the places where they had been. So did the language of Ebir spread among different lands and villages.
11. Now Okehi took over Ebir when Adeiza had died. And Okehi said, the land of Ebir is wide enough. Therefore let all those who have left return home. And about three thousands homos from here and there came to Ebir.
12. Now when Okehi had his first born, he named him Iresu, saying, you are my crown. But Iresu disrespected his father so much. And he went about to trouble the land. For he set traps in the footpath and many were caught.
13. And he went after the young ladies of the land and had sex with them.
14. Now Okehi called Iresu and said, what do you want? And Iresu said, let me rule the whole land. And Okehi said, shall you rule over me, your father?
15. And Iresu said, if you do not want this, then go away totally from Ebir and find your own land. And Okehi said I shall leave for you;
16. Now while the king began to depart, the homos of the land said, this is f*olishness. And Okehi said, when Aluna the goddess was departing, she was thought of as a fool. But she made a great sacrifice and she shall be remembered for it.
17. Now Okehi departed and Iresu became king. And Iresu sent all his younger brothes away. And he ruled with a very strong hand. And the homos of the land wailed. And many of them fled the land.
18. Now some of the descendants of Rupete the brother of Ohomorihi came into the land of Ebir and fought with it. And they killed Iresu.
19. Now when Okehi heard that Iresu his firstborn had died, he returned to his land and fought hard to take it back from the descendants of Rupete. And Okehi prevailed over them.
20. And Okehi saw how the vultures had eaten up the body of Iresu. And his head alone remained. And Okehi wept. And he said, you were named the head, but you did not live according to your name.
21. For you have behaved arrogantly and died cruelly. This shall be an experience to learn from. For he who is arrogant towards his father should expect nothing good in return.
22. So Okehi buried the head of his son in the hollow of a rock.

A song of Otem when a woman was lamenting how Adeboye collected her sister's first profit: Bitter Laughter

8. It is a bitter laughter situation when the people of the nation with much education get scammed by the institution of the association of the organisation of scammers.
9. A bitter laughter when the gullible become soluble in the solvent of the bible people who babble and gobble down the tithes and capitations of the feeble sheeple.
10. A bitter laughter when the simpleton go about to borrow anything to pay to the treasure boxes of the glutton who wears a suit and a suiting tie in a private jet and flies across the sky.
11. A bitter laughter when you tell the foolish that they should not enrich the pockets of the pastors of their parish while they impoverish themselves but the sheepish say that you are devilish.
12. It is a bitter laughter when the sister of the gullible sister who pays her first profit to mister Adeboye the thief came out in anger to request for the refund of the cash swallowed up by the stomach of the fraudster Adeboye the spender of the money of the tither.
13. Oh what a bitter laughter, a bitter laughter when the rich pastors make the poor people poorer.

A song of Kandagona: Climb over the cloud

10. When the future looks blurry, like it's in a slurry, it's no time to worry or give yourself a fury. No matter the cloud that covers the brightness, we can fly over like a craft that flyeth. Laying the ladder over the fence of captivity, we climb higher than the cloud.
11. Climb over the cloud that covereth your bright future. Stay over the cloud like the space over gravity. Sometimes it's not all that goes up that will return to the ground. I'm a star shot upward never to come down again.
12. When the suture is pressured and the future unassured, it's no time to feel sorry or give yourself some self pity. No matter the thickness of the smoke that blurs the future, we can shoot ourselves ahead and be what we want to be.
13. Climb over the cloud that covereth your bright future. Stay over the cloud like the space over gravity. Sometimes it's not all that goes up that will return to the ground. I'm a star shot upward never to come down again.

A song of Vadik: The Egypt of My Dream
6. Egypt, Egypt, rise again. Take charge of your life again. Atum, Ra are back again, teaching us to use our brains.
7. The Egypt of my dream is one with no religion. Moral, wise and mighty ones live in Egypt of My dream. Obelisks and pyramids are great deeds we made those days.
8. Rise up Egypt, take control. Use your heads and hug peace poles. Give no room to terrorists. Lose religions of the beasts.
9. Egypt, Egypt rise again. Take charge of the world again. Make inventions like those days that has gone so far away.

Chapter Eleven
A song of Otem: Football Is My Religion

1. I have one big religion, it unites the world. It's the sphere we kick from here to there while we dwell on the bigger sphere. There's no better union both home and abroad. It's a fair play to pick our dear football we kick upon earth's sphere. It unites the world more than any religion of the world. It gives pleasure better than any form of thing on earth.

2. So I declare my religion, it's football I have chosen. I don't worship the round leather but I enjoy to be with it than any deity of the ancient world. I'd rather kick my football than weeping tears of emotions before a god. It sweetens me when I'm watching it. I give my time to it. Football is my religion.

3. I weep tears of emotion when a sportman dies on the field. If we had seen it coming I say we could have made a shield. There's no beefing an opponent player who's dying on the pitch. We put fair play forward and come together to save the . It helps the opponent more than any religion of the world. It doesn't kill anyone who's changed his former club unlike the bad religions.

4. So I declare my religion, it's football I have chosen. I don't worship the round leather but I enjoy to be with it than any deity of the ancient world. I'd rather kick my football than weeping tears of emotions before a god. It sweetens me when I'm watching it, I give my time to it. Football is my religion.

5. When a sportman is down with deadly disease, we don't say it's good for him. It's a good example for some religions to learn. I'd rather send message of love to a dying opponent than say it is my god that is killing him as the bad religions do. I'm glad we have the round leather, it promotes love. Fighting out racism too
