Thanks a lot boss....I neither studied history or Yoruba but I am an advent reader like you... I'm actually glad you didn't think I am a traditional priest... I've been getting that a lot lool

wow, I didn't expect you to be able to write this story, weaving through the ancient mythology and Linking in to present day events just by been an avid reader. You make me live through the story as if it wasn't a fiction and wish I was actually there to witness it myself. I wish I can put my thoughts together like you and I also pray that Orunmila give you more wisdom to write.

I have never seen a story here on nairaland with an indept knowledge of the Yoruba gods, creation of life etc or even science at that

Okkay Katakata street was deep too, but this is massive and eye opening

Boss abeg feed us updates, may or is a empower thee

Thanks for this masterpiece boss, please mention me when the next story drops, more crude oil to ur elbows

One word : captivating.
