Culture / Re: Tale Of Joromi Bini/edo by francisjaph(m): 2:32pm On Dec 10, 2016
It is a well known truth that Africa is a land of beautiful culture and tradition in which stories serves as didactic teaching. it tells stories of great men-of hunters, farmers, kings, priests and princes. One thing we get from our forefathers is this, that the stories were told to them by their fore parents also. so we can't really ascertain some validity and truthfulness in them.
But I must say they were good stories meant to inculcate morality in us in the African way of life. Now, back to the story of Joromi. Joromi as the story was told, was a very powerful warlord in ancient Ubini kingdom, who became too powerful physically and spiritually. He fought and later became a man that cannot be killed by any man born of a woman.
He got to his Achilles hill when he decided to fight spirits even to the extend when the elders in Bini advised him of the dangers involve trying to fight the immortal. He went to the afterworld but no body knew how the fight was, whether he won or loosed because he never returned to his land alive.
Perhaps he defeated the gods and was immortalized. No body can tell of the aftermath.
ASSESSMENT OF THE STORY
We all know that the African man have his own ways of teaching his children, especially through story telling of great men, of animals and inanimate characters. Stories like this as told above is very common among these culturally awaken people in Nigeria (Yoruba, Bini, Hausa and Igbo). Don't you think the story was just fiction, though interesting? Well all in all, its a good story.
