OLODUMARE gave Obatala a Big chicken & some Cowerie.
Obatala came 2 d world wit d chiken & startd scratchin d earth. Things started takin shape. He threw up some coweries 2 create d Sun, Moon & d stars.
From den on u get d pic.
At least dat was d Yoruba version of how d world began. If we had conquered d world, we would have sold this fable 2 some Deluded Freaks.
Tell us d version of ur own tribe.

Nowadays most of our people believe in the version that was bought us by our colonial masters. I'd have to go my village to find that out and if they do know its bound to be the elders who are in thier 90's or 100 plus

I reminding laughing to this in yoruba class.

I hope that chicken was paid well.
