Chapter Sixty-Three
1. Aduvo, the king of Isoha had a daughter when he was of age. And the name of his daughter was Isimi, because she was born in the days when her mother was resting from giving birth to children.
2. And the father named her Asimi because the people of the land condemned the act by gossiping, saying, the king is a dog. Why has he given birth to this thing when he is already aged?
3. And Aduvo spoke publicly, let my child have some rest, for neither I nor her mother made her up. But by the will of our ancestors do we have her. And who can tell the role she has come to play in life?
4. And he named her Asimi, saying, let my daughter have rest of mind coming to the world. And let her grow up to fulfill her destiny.
5. Now when Asimi began to grow, all the young men of the land did not come close to her, for they thought that her mother was a witch, who had a child when she was sixty-two years.
6. Now when Asimi was growing old, she behaved like one who was incomplete in her senses. And no man appreciated her. And they kept their distance from her. Now Asimi was nowhere to be found. And Aduvo did not see her after searching for her in many places.
7. Now when the third son of Ajuze saw her, he brought her home, saying, I found her in the cold of the night, shivering. And I have pity on her. And she shall be he whom I have purposed to marry.
8. And Ajuze said, do you know her people? I do not stand against your marriage, but you must go and know her people. And Asimi said, my people have died in the cold. For we were exiled from the land of Itutuo together.
9. Now Ajuze said, where is the land of Itutuo so that we might go there to see the people of the land? And Asimi said, I cannot trace my way back there, for I was lost here when he even saw me.
10. Now Ajuze called his son apart and said, you cannot marry her, for we do not even know if she is a ghost or a spirit. For we have heard how water spirits marry the homos and drown them.
11. And Omezi the son of Ajuze said, you have heard that spirits get married to the homos, but have you seen any one with your own eyes? I do not believe the superstitions here and there. For I have watched out to see one of it with my eyes since my childhood, but till now that I am an adult, being twenty-five, I have not seen any like such.
12. And you, being about fifty years have seen nothing of such also. So why should I believe such thing?
13. Now Omezi took Asimi into his room. And in the night, he said, we shall flee the land and go to other place to live. For I know that my parents shall not permit me to marry you without seeing your people first.
14. So they fled the land at dawn at the first cook crow. And when Ajuze checked on them, he did not find them.
15. Now Ajuze and his wives wept. And he said, I have told Omezi that the lady is a spirit. Now she has taken him away into her own world. And the king began a festival, which he called Omeziechi. And in such days, all the children of the land were told the stories of ghosts and spirits who came to take away the disobedient children of different lands on earth.
16. Now when king Aduvo of Isoha was about to be seventy years, he said, I shall go and have my birthday celebrated in Uvo my native land. For it could be my last visit to such place before I die.
17. And Aduvo met them in the centre of the Omeziechi festival. And he said, what is the origin of this festival which you celebrate? And the king of Uvo said, it is the festival of the ghosts, how they come to take away the children who are disobedient.
18. For so was Omezi my son, who is your grandson taken away when he disobeyed the voice of his father and mother. For he had decided to marry a ghost for a wife. And the ghost took him away till today.
19. And Aduvo said to his son, I shall be seventy tomorrow, but a wife was betrothed to me who was much older than me. And she was sixty-two while I was fifty years when she gave birth to a baby girl.
20. And the girl behaved like one who is old, for she moved slowly and does her things as if she was not balanced. Therefore I have come to warn you that you should not do deep sex in your old age. For if it results to a child, the child could be an slowpoke.
21. And Ajuze said, I have heard you father, but what is the name of your daughter whom you spoke about and where is she now? And Aduvo said, we named her Asimi and Isimi. And she was missing for two years now.
22. And Ajuze said, it should not be what I am thinking about. And he called all his wives and said, the homo whom we call a ghost, what name did she say she was? And they said Asimi.
23. And Aduvo said, she is surely the one. For she often behaves in the way which we cannot explain. And the native doctors of the land did advise us to sacrifice her to the god, saying, she cannot be useful, but I forbade it and said, if she does not have a role to play in the earth, her maker would not have made her.
24. Now let her be found and your son also. For she is not a ghost, neither is she a witch.
25. So Aduvo and his son Ajuze sent some homos to go and find them.
26. And the hope of Ajuze finding his son alive was restored, for he had thought earlier that her son had been killed. And he did not bother to send anyone to find them, saying, the ghost has killed her.
27. Now Aduvo celebrated his birthday within the Omeziechi festival. And Ajuze said, we shall change the name of this festival to Aduvechi; and it shall be the celebration of your birthday forever, rather than the superstitious celebration of evil spirits.

Chapter Sixty-Two
1. Now some homos plotted against Ajuze in the land of Uvo, saying, let us kill him and ordain another king. For this king is too immature and playful. For he went from house to house, beating drums and dancing with one leg.
2. And they delivered a poison to the hand of one of the maids of the palace, saying, let her poison the king so that he might die.
3. Now the night before the maid would cook the food, Ajuze sat down to meditate with the cowries and the sea shells which he had. And he poured them on the little mat made with dry palm leaves.
4. And Ajuze shut his eyes and an idea came to his mind. Now the idea was that he should begin to invite all the maids to feed with him. And Ajuze awoke from his meditative mood and laughed, saying, this is the craziest of all the ideas I have had through meditation.
5. I have danced with the people of the land. I have eaten with them also. And with some did I even drum.
6. But I have never done anything with the maids, for it would bring total disrespect. Now Ajuze went and told his wife about it, for so did he always tell her anything he had through meditation before performing them.
7. And his wife said, if you shall do this, do it only once and do not continue. For if you continue this and the villagers hear it, they shall not like it.
8. Now that morning, another maid cooked the food and Ajuze invited all the maids to the table, saying, we shall eat it together. And they were afraid to eat with the king, but he said to them, do not fear. For I do as I am being led by my spirit.
9. And the maids ate with him. Now when Awuwa the maid who had the poison with her saw how the king had invited them to eat breakfast with him, she could not go ahead to cook lunch and poison it. For she said, if I do this, I shall kill all the maids, myself and the king himself.
10. And Awuwa was confused because she could not also go and tell the people who sent her that she shall not do it anymore, for the gift which they gave her had been spent.
11. And Awuwa thought, saying, I shall go and confess to the king, saying, your enemies have forced me to poison you, or else they shall kill me. So Awuwa did as she had planned. And the king said, now I know the meaning of the idea I got when I was meditating last night. For if it is not for the sake of the other maids and yourself, you would have poisoned my food.
12. And the king said, go and meet the people and tell them that you have poisoned the food. And while you speak with them, my servants shall capture them. So Awuwa went to tell the enemies of the king, saying, I have poisoned his food and he is now in pain.
13. And they were glad when they heard it, but the servants of the king came suddenly from their hiding place and captured all of them. And they were kept in the prison with Awuwa also.
14. And after seven days, the king sent them all away from the land forever, saying, let not the soles of your feet touch the land of Uvo anymore. For your evil intentions towards me has been revealed to me by the gods and my ancestors, who do not want to see me dead.
15. Now the thing was known to many lands. And they said, indeed the kings are one with the gods. And whosoever touch a king has touched a god. And he shall be cursed forever.

Chapter Sixty-One
1. When Ajuze was king upon the land, he did not cease to sing songs and perform dances before the people. And some homos loved him for his doings, but others said, it is not befitting for a king to sing and dance among the dancers. For he supported himself with a stick and danced.
2. And Ajuze said, if it is not good to associate with your people, what then can be good? Now Ajuze had a very cordial relationship with Isoha the land of his father. And he sent traders of Uvo to that land to buy and sell.
3. Now in the third year after the departure of his father, Okatawa took ill and Ajuze knew that the illness would be to death. And Okatawa wrapped two cowries in a leaf and tied it with a thread.
4. And he gave it to Ajuze his grandson, saying, send it to your father. And he shall see it and know what it is meant for. And Ajuze gave it to the Eshovonese who were preparing to go for a trade in Isoha.
5. And they delivered the thing to Aduvo, saying, your father has sent it. And Aduvo saw it and said, father is about to die, for he has sent this to me in remembrance of his burial.
6. And Aduvo said, father did ask that he should be buried in the same grave where Farounke his wife was buried. And Aduvo said to the people of the land, my father has demanded that I should bury his dead body in the grave of Farounke his wife.
7. Now some differed and said, why would the king do such a thing? For it has never been heard in Isoha that a foreigner died and was brought into our land to be buried.
8. Now those who led the agitation were the nephews of the former king Ewuje, for they had thought earlier that the late king would deliver the throne to them at death. But when they heard that Aduvo was called upon to become the king, they became jealous.
9. Now they went to Aduvo and said, we have tolerated you and your grandfather enough. For it is wrong that you should bring your father here to be buried, for he is not a native of our town in any way. And he did not live with us at any time.
10. Now if you bring him to the land, we shall not allow him to be buried. And the kingdom shall be turned upside down. For the throne even belonged to us in the first place.
11. Now Aduvo said, if my father does not belong to Isoha by birth or by place of location, he did belong by the marriage which he did with the daughter of Ewuje the late king. And by the birth of myself also is he qualified to be buried here.
12. And even if he does not deserve it by all these virtues, then by the things he suffered in our land is he qualified. For he suffered the death of his wife and the hiding of his son from him.
I3. And he suffered also imprisonment in our land. Therefore he shall be buried here according to his desire.
14. Now the nephews of Ewuje whose names were Ameko, Magun, Binroye and Jomu said, we have spoken our words already. And they departed the presence of the king rudely, for they were very much older than him, being more like a father to him.
15. For the eldest of them was about seventy years and the youngest of them was about fifty-five years.
16. Now Aduvo sent some, saying, go and check if my father is still alive in Uvo. And if he is still alive, bring him so that he would live in this land with us. And if he is dead, bring his corpse also, so that he could be buried with my mother.
17. So the people left for the land of Uvo. And they met Ajuze, for he was preparing to send some homos of Uvo to Isoha with the corpse.
18. Now Ameko and his brothers went to seek the hunters of Egede who were the children of Egamu, saying, there is a trespass upon our land, for they have sought to destroy the culture of our land by bringing in a stranger from another land to bury him in our land.
19. Now come and speak against this and let the king of our land stop this sacrilege. Now the hunters of Egede followed the four cousins of Ewuje the deceased king of Isoha. And when they came to Isoha, they found those who had come with the body.
20. And the hunters of Egede prevented them from entering the kingdom further. And they went to the king of Isoha, saying, is it true that you have sent for a corpse to be buried in this land?
21. And the king said, it is true.
22. And the hunters of Egede said, it is against the culture of Isoha, for there is nothing about Isoha which we do not know. Is our father Egamu not a homo of Isoha? And he was sent away from the land unjustly. And he had said, my children, fight for the Justice of Isoha, even though you are away from it.
23. For it is the land of your nativity.
24. Now Aduvo said, I know history for my father and grandfather have taught me much of it. Now that whom I have sought to bury is my father and not a stranger. And he has said that I should bury him with his wife Farounke.
25. Now if you know history, your father Egamu and Okatawa my father were friends in those days. And it is your father who saved my father from captivity in this land. And this same homo is whom I have sought to bury with his wife here.
26. Now when the hunters heard it, they said, we are sorry, O king of Isoha. Take his corpse and bury it wherever you wish. For our father told us the story of your father also, how your grandfather treated him badly and how he Egamu rescued him;
27. And how he showed his gratitude after, for he sent many yams and cassavas and all manner of crops to him with ornaments.
27. And they said to the nephews of Ewuje, let the king rule the land as he wish. For he is the next to the gods. And whatever decision he has made is from the gods. Accept that he should bury his father with his mother, for such is not an evil thing.
28. And for you, seek not to be the king of the land by force. For if nature do not give something to you, there is no way you can get it. So the hunters of Egamu departed. And Aduvo buried his father in the same grave where his mother was buried many years before.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is Jesus Truely A Black Man by OtemAtum: 8:05pm On Aug 18, 2017
Faulkin(Yeshua) is a product of Murmoh who was a black god, but Yahweh adopted Faulkin eventually. See the Doctufos reference below:

[quote author=Adspiramen 7:10-20]10. Nymphidis convinced us all into accepting that Murmoh was the right son of God to do that.

11. Murmoh wept and trembled as he entered in with Mother Earthus and slept with her, thereby taking away her long-kept virginity.

12. Murmoh was cold after doing it and he wept as he felt great power had gone out of him. He told it to us and we all laughed.

13. How was the taste of it? Nymphidis asked playfully.

14. I felt I have lost some of my powers, Murmoh complained.

15. What use is power to you, O Murmoh? Nymphidis raised up his voice. You only store power without using them.

16. Murmoh kept silent for a week in sorrow for he felt guilty doing it with Earthus.

17. Earthus soon began to have her womb rise up and we feared that the liquid released into her body by Murmoh was only a poison to her soul.

18. We were all amazed when a giant homo with furs arose. Earthus had given birth.

19. The furs were dark like scarlet and the creature seemed too ugly for our liking. He had some resemblance to Murmoh who was black in complexion too(the only one among us who was having a dark complexion).

20. Thus we had the first homo to be born by flesh and not by the impact of the bang. He is called Faulkin, the firstborn of all creatures.[/quote]As for fictitious Jesus who is a mere fictional hero whose story was made to resemble the history of Faulkin, I have no say in it. Only the people who invented his story can actually tell us the race of their fictitious hero.

I believe this the starting point where I mentioned Asia not China(though I still doubt their nonsense)

Asia is the largest and most populous continent, with a wide variety of religions. The largest religion in Asia is Islam with approx. 1.1 billion adherents. Asia was the birthplace of many religions such as Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastranism. But all major religious traditions are practiced there and new forms are constantly emerging.

Here's from Wikipedia ( you can easily verify this one)
I believe you read the first statement I made. I asked if Asian is very religion AND WORSHIPPING YAHWEH. Note my capitalised words. I maintain, the use of the brains of people is what brings development and inventions and not the gods.

another proof hole-ly BuyBull is bullsheeet, heart does not think or say anything

hole-ly spirit couldn't inspire the goatherders to use the word "brain" or "mind", those guys don't even know what brain is, so did hole-ly spirit apparently

The Bible is written just the way I would expect the book to be written if it was put together by men (who knows, maybe some women, too) 2000 to 2500 years ago who had limited understanding of the world. There is nothing in it that speaks of inspiration except perhaps in the story telling aspect, but really nothing revealing or earth shattering, though I rather like some of Ecclesiastes and if you cherry pick the New Testament, there is some decent material there, though much of it can be found in many other writings.

CC: OtemAtum
How can you expect a book which has no brain in it to make sense? They mentioned heart hundreds of time but no single brain. In summary, the Bible is brainless, therefore we shouldn't require too much from those who think through it.

1 thing is that your genealogy isn't viable from any other source which begs a lot of question has to its genuinity
where else can you verify a genealogy which began from the period of the hominids? And when Moses was writing his own genealogy more than 3000 years back, who else in his period verified it? The Genealogy of Otem can be wrong only if my ancestors in their afterlives tell me lies.

This Morning, i noticed a friend was no longer active on Nairaland, so i created a thread asking friends to find him or drop his contact if they have one.


I also called on on the Mr. Seun and His Mod's, pleading that they Unban Him if he is serving a ban. Alot of people reacted to my thread And BOOM! they deleted my thread (www.nairaland.com/3996647/where-nwaamaikpe).


Is is that, we can't ask questions? Or can't Plead for someones freedom if banned?


Ok What stopped your Mod's from Explaining to us that Its Maybe Impossible for NwaAmaikpe to be Unbanned (That's if he was banned)?

Christianity Etc › How Faulkin(yeshua) Escaped Crucifixion And Escaped To Sodom-egypt by OtemAtum(op): 11:21am On Aug 18, 2017
Faulkin(Yeshua) who is the original version of Jesus Christ was an adopted son of Yahweh in the Neanderthal periods. Here are the things which happened when he was caught for his numerous armed robbery activities.

Doctufos:
Batimeus 26:1-49

Chapter Twenty-Six
1. Now when the twelfth hour had come, the executioners came and began to push their spears through the bodies of the thieves. But when they came towards Yeshu, Yosep and one of the Farhesis said, are you blind so that you cannot see?
2. Do you not know that it is against the culture of our land to push spears through the body of the dead? And the executioner said, is he dead already?
3. And they said, yes he has died for about six hours already. For we think that he was poisoned. Now leave him on the pole until we shall move the bodies of them all.
4. So the executioner spared the other two thieves and broke their legs with heavy mattocks until they had died. And Yosep went to Peleta, saying, let me take the body of this Bar-Rabas and bury it, for I know that he is a great man deserving honour in his burial.
5. And Peleta said, I will honour you with this because you are a honest man. Now take him and bury him. And I shall give you two guards who shall watch over his tomb to see that the homos of Juda and his followers do not come to take his body away, so that they shall make a relic of it and make much money, telling the people that they shall be healed when they see the body part of the dead.
6. For the same did the homos of Syria to Eliash and many other dead people of the past.
7. So Peleta sent two guards to watch over the place where Yeshu shall be kept, which was a cave.
8. Now it came to pass, that I departed when Yeshu had been kept in the grave with some food which he shall eat. And I went to meet the other disciples who did not leave the house of Iskariot.
9. Now came Iskariot on the second day and he said, I have gone about now since yesterday, seeking a land to purchase. And one named Nashob has agreed to sell his field for me. Now I shall make payment to him tomorrow morning.
10. So Iskariot did as he said early the next day and all the disciples went to the field with him, but I departed from them to the cave where Yeshu was kept. For I was eager to see him when he shall leave the cave.
11. And Yosep came with five other disciples from the outside and the guards who watched over the cave saw us and drew out their swords. But we overpowered them and chased them both away.
12. Now we took Yeshu out and rolled the long white linen off his body and he said, you have done very well O Yosep. Now I shall depart from here and go to Galil to await the coming of my other disciples. For I have some things to tell them.
13. So Yeshu began to go quickly. And Yosep said, I know that Maria, the mother of Yeshu and Salom and Matta shall arrive here soon. For they have been visiting this place since the day we kept Yeshu here.
14. And the guards have not allowed them access to see Yeshu all the while. Now I shall roll this cloth around myself and I shall appear to them like an angel. And I shall tell them what they shall do.
15. So we rolled the white cloth on the body of Yosep and he sat upon the stone at the mouth of the cave. And we all went to hide when we saw them approaching, leaving only Yosep at the cave.
16. Now when the four women had come to the mouth of the cave, Yosep appeared to them and said, whom do you seek? And they trembled for fear, for they thought that they had seen the ghost of Yeshu.
17. And they said, we seek after Yeshu, whom they call Krista. For he was buried here.
18. And Yosep said, Yeshu had risen from the dead and he has departed to Galil to wait for his disciples. So now, go and tell them to meet Yeshu at the mountain of Galil where Yeshu preached upon in those days.
19. And they asked, saying, who are you? And he said, I am the angel sent by god to take Yeshu out of the grave. And he is now alive.
20. Now when they departed, we returned to the cave. And I began to follow after the women, saying, I shall see Yeshu also. For I have need of him. Now Yeshu, having seen us approaching, did come to us and said, I have seen you and I have waited for you.
21. And Maria the mother of Yeshu kissed him and Maria the sister of Matta did likewise. And Yeshu said, O Maria, I shall return to marry you.
22. And he said to me, O Bar-tolomeus, now go and tell your fellows that I await them in Galil. For from that place shall I depart to Egypt and wait there until I shall return with thousands of the homos of my father to avenge my death upon Juda.
23. Now when I returned to the field where the disciples went, I found that they had hanged Iskariot and his family already. And I cried angrily at them, saying, why have you done this evil? Why did you kill Iskariot?
24. And they asked, saying, what has come over you, O Batimeus? Did you not know that this Iskariot made the government to kill our god Yeshu? And I said, keep quiet all of you! For Yeshu is not dead, for he has risen.
25. And he is now in Galil, waiting that you shall come and meet him. But you have gone ahead to kill Iskariot because he betrayed Yeshu. Now that Yeshu has risen from the dead, what meaning does it have for Iskariot to die at all?
26. Now they laughed at me and said that I was mad, but Jonas knew that I said the truth. Now when they did not go to Galil, Yeshu came to Maria where she was grinding at the mill and said to her, go and tell my disciples to come to me. For I have waited a whole day for them, but none of them showed up.
27. So Maria went to tell them, but they did not believe her, saying, all the homos of Juda said that they saw when the body of Yeshu was kept inside the cave to rest. How then shall he rise again from the dead?
28. So Petra went to seek after Yeshua but found the cave empty. And he believed, saying, now shall I go to Galil to meet Yeshu. And he went to Galil, but Yeshu was no more there.
29. Now while Maria was speaking with the other disciples, Gishon and Dara, two of his disciples from outside, came to them and said, we have seen Yeshu. And he did charge us to come to you and rebuke you for your unbelief. For he has risen indeed.
30. And they asked, how did you know that it was Yeshu you saw and not someone else. And they said, he spoke with that voice which was heavy. And he taught us from the beginning of the books even to the end of it.
31. And he performed a magic before us as his manner was.
32. Now while they spoke, Petra came and said, indeed Yeshu has risen, for the cave is now empty.
33. So they believed. Now Yeshu came to us and said, now I have come to you again. And he said, where is Iskariot? And Petra said, we have hanged him. And by now his body should be stinking.
34. And Yeshu said, that is good for him. For it is better that he had never been born at all. For his soul shall descend into the hell of my father and forever shall he burn in that fire which shall never be quenched.
35. And Yeshu said, where is Didimus? And we said, he has gone to the village to see his parents. And Yeshu said, how shall he believe that I rose from the dead if he does not see me?
36. For I know that he shall be a hindrance to this gospel which you shall spread throughout all Juda and throughout Hittite and Egypt and even to Salam and Ethiopia. For I know that Didimus shall not accept to go with you to say that I rose from the dead.
37. Now Yeshu said, let me remain with you until the day when Didimus shall come. Now when Didimus came, we said to him, Yeshu came.
38. And he said, why do you keep on lying for Yeshu? For I have determined to stop lying for him since the day of his death. And today shall I depart this place. Now while we spoke, Yeshu raised his head, for he sat among us before, covering his head with a veil.
39. And Didimus was surprised, not knowing whether Yeshu appeared supernaturally in the room or he had been there before.
40. And Yeshu said, now the door was shut and I appear here. Shall you not believe me as he who died and rose again? For they said that you did say that you shall not believe me except you see the holes which I drilled in my palms in the days when I made the blood covenants with you.
41. And Didimus looked and saw the holes in the hands of Yeshu. And he said, indeed you are the lord god. And he bowed his head before Yeshu to worship him.
42. And Yeshu said, I shall humiliate you with many proofs. And he sat and performed many magic before Didimus. And he took fire into his mouth and poured in oil. And he spat the fire out and it burnt upon the table.
43. And he twisted his body and said, bring me a little vessel. And they brought a little vessel before him. And he entered inside the vessel, which even would be difficult to put a newborn baby in perfectly.
44. And Yeshu said, look at my head earnestly. And we fastened our eyes at the head of Yeshu while he stretched his hand far away from us. And we did not focus on his hand but on his head. And Yeshu used his second hand to feign as if he did put a stone inside his mouth.
45. And Yeshu said, now look at my abdomen. And when we brought our head low to look at his abdomen, a stone dropped as if it was from his bowel. And we said, indeed the stone which Yeshu did swallow had passed through his intestine to his bowel and had come out of his body.
46. Now Yeshu took all the books which he kept in his room. And I was sad because I did ask him for some, but he said, not now O Bar-tolomeu until the time of my return. For first I shall go to Egypt and from there shall I go to my father in heaven.
47. And Yeshu departed, promising to return to take us to the paradise. For he said that he did go and build mansions for us. And he said that he would come to us ten years after, first to take us to the paradise and then come again with us and many homos who had died to fight the Romans and the Greeks and all the Farhesis who condemned him.
48. And Yeshu departed and we followed him to the mountain of Galil. And we looked at him as he climbed the mountain until he was no more in sight to us. For the cloud upon the top of the mountain had covered him up.
49. And the secret concerning the things which happened when he was on the pole was known to only I and Jonas and the few homos who were his disciples from the outside. And we made covenants together to keep the secret to ourselves.

Chapter Fifty-Nine
1. Okatawa wrote many other songs before his death. And he knew how to play the Ododoodo and Okokoro very well. And in those days, the gourds were filled with sand or igorigo seeds and used as cymbals.
2. And Aduvo knew how to play all kinds of instruments also. And Aduvo wrote many songs like his father also. And all the names of his children were the names of musical instruments.
3. And his first son named he Ajuze. Now these was the name of the musical instrument called ajuze, which were some gourds filled halfway with the igorigo seeds and suspended from the ropes which were overhead the dancers.
4. And as the dancers danced back and forth, they hit their heads against the gourds which were standing in their way. And the gourds made sounds because of the igorigo seeds in them.
5. Now the second child of Aduvo named he Isekere, being the kind of instruments which they tied on the legs of dancers in Isoha his mother's land. And the third child he named Ododoodo which by interpretation was a drum.
6. And Aduvo named the fourth child Okokoro.
7. And Aduvo was as talented as his father in music. And he sang many songs in those days.
8. And when he sang, those who had him wept, for the music had got into their souls to mingle with their souls. And some who slept while Aduvo played his music often saw sweet dreams which appeared very real.
9. Now when Aduvo sang about nature, some homos saw themselves in places where they played with lions and elephants and many species of wildlifes without being hurt. And when Aduvo sung songs about the past times and forgotten histories, the homos fell into coma and dreamt of seeing their forefathers and mothers.
10. And they came back to tell what they had experienced. And Aduvo was loved in the land of Uvo more than any other homo.
11. And he loved the children of his step mother Asusu like his own children. And Asusu had no reason to be jealous, for Okatawa took good care of her till old age. And Aduvo went also to hunt animals because of her.
12. And the land of Aduvo knew no war at all all the days of Okatawa and his son Aduvo. And there was no king in the land, but the elders decided the things which should be done and the things which should not be done.
13. Now when Okatawa was very old and about to die, he called all the homos of Uvo together, saying, I have led this land into unity, so let the unity remain forever.
14. And make sure the decisions you make are right decisions. For a place shall be decorated with the decisions made by the homos who occupy it.
15. Can a selfish decision be made today and it shall not reflect tomorrow? I say no, it shall reflect tomorrow and even forever except if some homos arise tomorrow and turn it around.
16. A kingdom or a nation which is corrupted with selfish decisions should change their decisions. Or else their children shall suffer because of their selfish desires which influenced their decisions.
17. Now my people, rule the land well in your time and leave it for your children and children's children to continue in it.
18. Do not study the history of other lands more than the history of your own land. For there is no land without a history.
19. Sing music and you shall prosper in it. For there are talents in the homos of Ebir to sing and be known for music. But if you do not try, how shall you know this?
20. And when Okatawa had ended his speech, he gave them his old stool and said, this apete with three legs is a symbol of the unity of this land.
21. For one leg is Odukeke and one is Inyioyi and the third is myself Okatawa. For we have been in unity from childhood till adulthood. Therefore wherever you migrate to for any reason, let this apete go with you.
22. And if any damage is done to it, mend it. And if it is destroyed or stolen, make another. And when you remember it, remember us also.
23. And do not fail to tell the histories to your children, or else the stool shall become a mere symbol without a history to back it up.

Chapter Sixty
1. Now shortly after the injunctions of Okatawa to the homos of Uvo, many homos of Ochirezote migrated to Uvo. And they were the Eshovonese and a few of the Mangogites, saying, we have come for peace. For the land of Ochirezote is now unbearable.
2. For the Darans and the Femites and Kinites conspired against us, saying, let the kingship be no more given to them. And there is much killing in the land now such that it is hardly bearable.
3. And most of us the seeds of Eshovo departed the land, saying about twenty years ago, we have heard that the land of Uvo is occupied by our brothers. Therefore we have come to seek refuge here.
4. And Aduvo went to seek his father who was bedridden because of old age. And Okatawa said, we are left with no option but to accept them. The land is large enough such that it shall occupy us all.
5. But there shall be need for a king shortly after now. For when a land is getting larger, a ruler would be necessary. Now Aduvo, you shall be the king when the time is ripe. And you shall teach the culture and history of the land to the people.
6. And you shall instill in them all the morals in the songs which we sing. And you shall not allow evil to prevail upon the land.
7. Now Aduvo accepted the Eshovonese into the land. And they cut more woods and fetched more clays to make houses. And they cleared more lands to make farms. And they reared more animals. So was the land of Uvo widened.
8. Now after about a year, some homos came from the land of Isoha, saying, we have come for peace and we seek Fadile who is the grandson of our king. For the king is very aged and shall die in a couple of days.
9. And he had asked to speak with his grandson before his death.
10. Now because Aduvo had told the homos of Uvo the histories of the land, they knew whom Fadile should be. And they took the Isohans to Aduvo to meet with him. And Aduvo said, why have you come for me?
11. And they said, the king is very old, being a hundred and ten years. And he had no heir because all the wives which he had did not have a baby boy for him. And you alone is the child worthy to take up the throne.
12. And the king have said to us, beg Fadile in the name of his mother Farounke that he should come with you and be king upon the throne. And by so doing alone shall the kingship remain the kingship of Ewuje.
13. Now Aduvo consulted his father Okatawa and he said, it is a hard decision, but it is good. For I have even heard how the land of Isoha has become great now. And they have many resources in the land.
14. And outsiders enter the land to buy and sell in it.
15. Now if you become the king of the land, then the land of Uvo shall have no problem concerning the matter of buying and selling. And they shall be an ally to Isoha.
16. Now you have stayed with me for many years already and I have enjoyed your company and help. Now go and see your grandfather also. And let his soul rest in peace. And you shall be the king of Isham and your seeds forever.
17. But first, you must crown your son Ajuze as king. And he shall take authority over the whole land of Uvo.
18. Then alone can you follow the homos of Isoha to their land. Now when Aduvo sought for Ajuze to crown him as king, he was not found. And Isoha said, where is Ajuze my son? And he searched for Ajuze for three days and saw that he had been stuck in a hill, for he loved to climb Hills.
19. And the boulder which lay on the leg of Ajuze was very heavy for him to lift away, therefore he was there crying for help until his father and the people came and saved him.
20. And Ajuze was paralysed on his left leg. And he became the first king of Uvo.
21. And Aduvo followed the Isohans to their land. And the king was about to breathe his last when he came. And Aduvo set his eyes on his grandfather again, whom he saw last when he was about eleven years old.
22. And Ewuje was glad when he saw his grandson. And he said, is your father still alive? And Aduvo said, yes he is still alive. And he is the same who advised me to heed your call. And when Ewuje heard this, he shed tears and said, the minds of the homos are unpredictable sometimes.
23. For he whom you think as stubborn and unyielding shall surprise you when he accepts that which you propose to him easily. And he whom you think is a simple and easy person can turn around overnight to become strict and rigid.
24. For minds are controlled by experiences of life. And he who has experienced so much shall no more take life rigidly. But he who has experienced a little shall hold life tight to his chest.
25. And Ewuje blessed Okatawa, saying, he is a great tree whose offspring shall not wither away. For he did not consider the trouble which we gave him when he came to our land. But he has forgiven even the whole of the land for all the things which we did to him.
26. First, in contributing to the death of his wife, who was made to dance when she was ill and heavy with child. And second, for hiding his son away from him. And third, for punishing him when he came for his son.
27. Now Ewuje crowned Aduvo the son of Okatawa as king and a coronation ceremony was held. And after five days, Ewuje passed on.

Chapter Fifty-Eight
1. Now after the homos of Ochirezote had departed, Okatawa and his brothers sung a song of joy, saying;
2. Life and decisions are twin brothers. For decisions make life appear how it is. Decisions give shape, size, colour and rigidity to life.
3. A poor decision leads to destruction and peril.
4. A rich decision may be painful, but in the end, it dabs life with radiant colours.
5. Blessed is one who has decided to change his land from bad to good. A painful decision is it, but it is a beautiful one.
6. For an unrefined gold is like a homo without a right decision.
7. The decisions of today give shape to tomorrow.
8. It is good to make a thoughtful decision, looking away from the pain but focusing at the profit in the long run.
9. It is the story of the children of Onozare of Ebir land. When there was no peace of mind in Takumi where they dwelt, a decision was made by Eshovo to depart the land and return to Okerune. A good decision or a bad one you shall judge later.
10. And Okehi also departed Takumi after some years. A good decision or a bad one, you shall judge later.
11. We hear that the land of Takumi has now been attacked and destroyed. Now judge the decisions of Eshovo and Okehi to leave the land earlier.
12. Ota left his father to found the land of Ota. A good decision or a bad one, you shall judge later.
13. Okatawa his son went to Isoha to marry Farounke the princess. A good decision or a bad one you shall judge later.
14. Now the land of Ota is great and Okatawa also has his only male child through Farounke. Now judge the decisions of Ota and Okatawa his son.
15. Okatawa went yearly to do the remembrance rite of his late wife. A good decision or a bad one you shall judge later.
16. His only son Fadile came around to watch, a good decision or a bad one, you shall judge later.
17. And Okatawa discovered that he had a son. Now judge the decisions of Okatawa and Fadile his son.
18. Okatawa and his brothers decided to take back their child, a good decision or a bad one you shall judge later.
19. His brothers went ahead and saw clearly the son of their brother, a good decision or a bad one you shall judge later.
20. And they took Fadile home in the end. Now judge the decisions of Okatawa and his brothers Inyioyi and Odukeke.
21. Odukeke my brother took his time to tell Aduvo the history of his fathers, teaching him how to also speak Ebir. A good decision or a bad one you shall know later.
22. Aduvo went boldly and spoke the language of Ebir to the Eshovenese who had come to destroy Uvo, with the history of their brotherhood also. A good decision or a bad one you shall know later.
23. The land of Uvo was saved from the hands of the Ochirezotites eventually. Now judge the decisions of Odukeke and Aduvo his nephew.
24. Therefore make a good decision today. For your decision today shall determine the situations of your offsprings tomorrow.
25. And poor decisions shall make your land poor while rich decisions shall make it rich.

hapter Fifty-Seven
1. Now when Aduvo was of age, the homos of Ochirezote, the ancient Kingdom of Okerune, came to the land, for they had heard how there was much treasure in the land. And Okatawa and his brothers were weak and feeble in those days.
2. Now when the Eshovonese and the Mangogites and the Darans and Kinites and Femites with the Ajaokatans had assembled, saying, let us take the land and search all the treasures in it, Aduvo arose and said, I shall go and meet them.
3. And Okatawa said, where are you going? And Aduvo said, I shall stop them. And Okatawa said, my son do not go out to meet them. Let the fighters of the land do the fight. For though they are very few in number, but our ancestors shall be with them. For the land of Uvo which has remained for so long is not by the strength of our own fingers.
4. And Aduvo said, they are set to do evil. For they shall come and destroy us. And they pray also to their ancestors, therefore if the ancestors are left out of this battle, man for man they shall subdue us.
5. Therefore let me take my life in my hands and see what I can do to see that the battle is not fought. And when Okatawa could not persuade Aduvo to remain, he said to him, go and the spirits of our ancestors shall go with you.
6. And the spirit of Farounke your mother shall be your protector. And Aduvo took wine in a large gourd. And he filled up the sacks with substances. And he went with two servants on camels.
7. And Aduvo cut the branch of a palm tree and raised it high up as he went out to meet the homos of Ochirezote who came to attack the land. And when they saw him from afar, they said, he is for peace.
8. And when Aduvo had reached them, he came down from the Camel and his servants also. And he said, we have heard of you homos of Ochirezote, the land of many ethnic groups.
9. But we are your brothers and neighbours and we shall not show disrespect to you at any time. Are we not blood brothers with the Eshovonese? For our ancestor Omujemi and your ancestor Eshovo were brothers together in the land of Takumi.
10. And when there was lack of tolerance for our religion, Eshovo left. And Okehi the descendant of Omujemi left later also to dwell in the land of Okehi, but Ota his son went apart to found this land which we first called Ota. And by virtue of expansion, it was renamed Uvo.
11. Therefore we are brothers, O homos of Eshovo. And to the Mangogites also, we are brothers by virtue of our ancestors. For Ohomorihi is whom we worship and he is whom most of you worship also.
12. Now when the Eshovonese heard the history which Aduvo spoke, they said, truly we are brothers. And they came close to Aduvo and hugged him. And they said, you have saved your land through history.
13. For by history can a generation be saved. And a land who knows not its history shall fall prey of other lands who has history.
14. Now be glad O Aduvo, root of Ohida. For our forefather Eshovo indeed passed down the history of himself and his brothers to us, saying, if any of the children of my brothers come to your land to dwell, do not refuse them.
15. But you shall treat them well and give them lands to stay and to plant crops. And treat them like brothers and friends rather than slaves.
16. Be one with the children of my brothers and sister whose names are Omujemi, Anaze and Obanyi. For we are all the children of Onozare our father. And we loved one another in the days when we were together.
17. And I could have returned to Takumi to fetch them into this land when I discovered it, but I was tired and lacked strength to trek such far distance again.
18. Now Aduvo said to the people, come in to our land and see it how it is. And you shall be welcomed well into it.
19. And the homos of Ochirezote came along, but Aduvo held up the palm leaves so that his people would know that those who enter their land had come for peace. And the homos of Ochirezote were well welcomed to the land.
20. And Omuya the wife of Aduvo prepared apapa and gave them to eat. And they said, this is tasty, for we have not tasted anything as delicious as this. And Aduvo said, we have made it out of beans.
21. And the homos of Ochirezote said, we shall learn it and do it in our land also. Now Okatawa came forward and blessed the homos of Eshovo who came, saying, you are the true homos of Ebir. For you went into the ancient land of Okerune and made a space for yourself there when there appeared to be no space.
22. Blessed be the children of Eshovo forever. For if Eshovo had not made the decision to leave Takumi earlier to dwell in Okerune, we should have been destroyed today.
23. Now the homos of Ochirezote departed after five days. And they did not hurt Uvo nor make it hotter than it was. But they departed in peace.

Chapter Fifty-Six
1. Now Odukeke and Inyioyi the two brothers of Okatawa followed after those who took Okatawa. And they saw him in the place where they had kept him. And they said, it is hard for us to set him free from here, but we shall go and fetch those who shall help us.
2. Now when they passed through the bush of Egede. A hunter took hold of them and said, you have trespassed and you shall be killed, for this forest has long been forbidden for ordinary homos, but for hunters alone is it allowed.
3. And Odukeke begged with Inyioyi his brother, saying, we do not know this. For our brother was unjustly treated by the king of Isoha. And he is now kept in a confinement to be killed shortly.
4. Now the hunter whose name was Egamu had compassion on them and said, was I not also from the land of Isoha before I was exiled for the wrong reason? Now I shall take my revenge also in helping you to rescue your brother.
5. And Egamu went and called all his hunter friends together, saying, this is the evil which the people of Isoha did to these homos. Now let us help them.
6. And they, being about hundred in number, wore all their shields on their bodies. And the cowries and the shells and gourds filled with sand did they wear on their bodies so that the weapons of their attackers shall not pass through.
7. Now when they reached the land of Isoha, they said, if you grant our request, we shall also leave your land in peace, but if you refuse, you shall perish.
8. Now the hunters of Egede were feared so much. For those who had shot the sharpened weapons at them had wondered why the things which they shot had not penetrated them. And they did not bother to check beneath their garments, saying, they possess charms which do not allow the sharp woods into their tough skins.
9. And some had said, the skins of the hunters of Egede are like the skins of crocodiles.
10. Now when the king of Isoha saw them, he said, hunters of Egede, what shall we do with you? And they said, we have come to demand the rescue of Okatawa our brother. Now if you refuse us our demand, we shall prepare for a battle. And if you grant him to us, we shall depart peacefully.
11. Now the king feared and said, let him go, for I do not know that he is a brother to the hunters of Egede. And they brought Okatawa out of the prison. And he said, I have suffered undeservably in the hands of the Isohans here and it shall be vanity for me if my desire is not granted to me.
12. My only son is here in this land and I do not even know his name. Now let him go with me, or else I shall die here.
13. And the king said, the child is old enough to make his choice. Let him be called upon to choose where he shall stay. And if he chooses the throne, so shall he remain here. But if he chooses you, then you shall he follow.
14. And Fadile was called to make his choice. And he looked at his father who was poorly dressed. And he looked also at his grandfather who was in his royal attire. And the child said, I go with my father.
15. And the king said, Fadile, here is the throne. Do you not want to be king of Isoha after I am gone? And Fadile said, a father is greater than a throne. For I do not resemble the throne but the father.
16. And Fadile held his father tight and followed him. And both he and Okatawa wept. And they went to the grave of Farounke to weep on it. And Okatawa said, O Farounke, I have finally fought and won the fight.
17. And your son is now with me. Fear not for I shall take care of him more than a father to a son. And I shall let no evil come upon him. For he is the dimples of my cheek and my nostrils.
18. He is my eyes and my reason for living.
19. And Okatawa and his brothers returned to Ota and held a feast. And they renamed Fadile even after he was already eleven years. And the name which Okatawa gave to him was Aduvo, saying, he shall be the father of Uvo land(for the name which Okatawa and his people had named Ota after it was well expanded was Uvo), saying, our land is expanding like a growing hand.
20. And Aduvo was glad that he had been brought to the land of his father. And he learnt Ebir and spoke it very well with the people of the land.

Chapter Fifty-Five
1. Okatawa and his brothers expanded the land of their father Ota after his death. And they married from the south side. And Okatawa married a homo called Farounke. And Farounke was the Princess of her land.
2. And the king demanded that she should be present yearly for a festival which involved all the princesses and the princes of the king. And they came into the land of Ota to take her home with horses.
3. Now a day came that they came to take her. And she was pregnant with the child of Okatawa. And he said to them, let her remain with me, for she cannot go with this pregnancy.
4. And they said, the king of Isoha has boasted of her to everyone. And he cannot afford to disappoint them. Her beauty even in this pregnancy is great. Therefore let her come, for the land is prepared for her.
5. And Farounke said to Okatawa, if I go, I shall return. Only pray to your ancestors to see me through. And Farounke went with the men. And she was on Camel instead of a horseback so that her pregnancy would not be affected.
6. Now when Farounke reached the land, she was ill , for she had passed through the cold from Okatawa to Isoha and she had become sick and tired.
7. And Farounke prepared and performed dances before all those who had come to watch. And she danced even better than all the other princesses who came also. And her father was honoured.
8. Now after the performance, Farounke fell very ill such that she could not return to Ota, the land of her husband. And the king sent servants, saying, go and tell Okatawa that his wife has fallen Ill such that she would stay in Isoha until she is made whole.
9. And so was Okatawa told of his wife who was ill. And Okatawa said, let me go with you to see her. And they said, the king have said that you should not trouble yourself to come to the land.
10. And Okatawa held his peace, but he sent herbs to her through the servants of the king. And Farounke did not improve in her condition. And after two months, she began to be in labour.
11. And she had a baby boy, whom her father named Fadile. And she died after having the child. And the king said, we cannot lose both the child and the mother together. Therefore keep the child so that its father shall not know anything about it.
12. And they sent message to Okatawa, saying, the king of Isoha has called for you. And Okatawa heed the call of the of the king of Isoha.
13. And when he came, the news of the death of his wife was announced. And they said, Farounke died in labour. And she died with the child in her womb. And Okatawa said, why did you not get the best of the traditional birth helps to help her deliver?
14. Why did you keep her away from me until this long? Did I not pay her price? Did I refuse to bring to you all the things which you demanded during her wedding with me?
15. Now you have killed my wife and the child in her? For I knew that you were set for mischief in the day when you took her from me, saying let her come and dance despite her pregnant condition?
16. Now the king named Ewuje called Okatawa aside and spoke soft words to him. And Okatawa said, I have left all in the hands of the Creator of life.
17. And Okatawa returned to Ota, the land of his nativity. And he wept all days for his wife, for he loved her greatly. Now Okatawa married another woman after three years, but he did not cease to go to Isoha yearly to change the flowers and beautiful stones which he had set in the place.
18. Now Asusu, the new wife of Okatawa gave birth to a baby girl for him. And Okatawa sought for a baby boy also. And when Asusu conceived again, she had another girl. And Okatawa went and married Oziohu.
19. Now when Okatawa went to perform the remembrance ceremony of his deceased wife as he did yearly, he saw one who looked exactly like him from afar. And when he looked towards him, the servants of the king came and fetched him away on a horse.
20. And Okatawa went to the palace and spoke with the king concerning the matter. And the king said, Farounke did not deliver the child in her womb before she died, therefore what you seem to have seen is not real.
21. And the king called all his servants and said, is there any child in the whole kingdom whose appearance is like that of Okatawa? And they presented many of the children of the land, but he did not see anyone who looked like him.
22. And the king said to Okatawa, do not come again to this land to do the remembrance, for it shall grieve you when you remember the death of your former wife afresh. Go and marry from your land and let the bond which you have with Farounke be broken.
23. Now when Asusu conceived the third time and had a baby girl again, Okatawa remembered the child which he saw again. And he said, I shall go to Isoha on the day of their festival.
24. And if the child which I saw is really the child of Farounke, I shall know it. And Okatawa went to Isoha with two of his brothers. And he said to them, you shall go to the palace of the king and tell them that you have come to see their festival from Ako.
25. And they shall not deny you of seeing it. Then shall you watch to see if there is any child of about ten years of age who is like me in appearance. And they went and witnessed the festival.
26. And they saw the child of Farounke sitting among the wives of the king. And they went and told Okatawa, saying, brother, you have seen well, for he is like you in all aspects. And he moved his arms as you did when you were young.
27. And there is no difference in his smiles and yours.
28. Now Okatawa said, I shall go and take him away secretly, for if he sets his eyes on me, he shall not restrain to follow after me.
29. Now Okatawa went and disguised like one of the servants of the king. And he met his son. And when his son saw him, he was amazed. And Okatawa spoke softly to him, saying, do not fear for I am your father.
30. Now while he was with the child, he was discovered and taken forcefully by the servants of the king. And the king said, have I not warned you not to come into this land anymore?
31. Why have you come to commit havoc in the land? And Okatawa said, I have come to take my son with me. For it is wrong how you have hidden him from me. For I struggle to have a male child, but here is one whom you have hid away from me.
32. Now the king of Isoha said, it is the only child of Farounke and the heir to the throne, for I have no son at all but Farounke alone is my child. And her son shall be the heir. Therefore you cannot take him away, or else I shall have no heir.
33. Now depart from this land and do not return again, for your safety is assured you if you depart and do not return anymore. But if you return, you shall be cut off.
34. And Okatawa spoke no more word with the king. And he turned around to depart. And while he was a little while away from the palace to meet his brothers so that they could depart together, the Wise Men of the land advised the king, saying, why do you allow this young man depart in silence?
35. Have you not observed the mischief in his eyes? Certainly he shall return with many gbenigbeni and kidnap Fadile the heir. Therefore let us go after him and take hold of him. And let us kill him once and for all.
36. And the king listened to the counsel which they gave him. And they caught up with Okatawa and gripped him hard. And they brought him back to the king. But they did not know that his brothers who came with him had seen them, for they hid in the bush before, awaiting when Okatawa shall come to join them back home.
37. Now when Okatawa was brought before the king, he commanded saying, lock him up until I shall decide what we shall do to him.

Chapter Fifty-Four
1. Now Ota remained in the place which he was, for he had expanded the land upon himself, which he named after himself. And he reared animals in the land also.
2. And Oziohu stayed in the land of Ota in her old age after the death of Okehi. And she gathered the children of Ota under the moonlight and told them stories. And they learnt morals from the stories which she told them.
3. And she told them stories of how many lands of Ebir came to be. And she said, we Ebirs are scattered everywhere like the wind. But we shall soon return to our root. For famine and attack from pests and battle and such like it are the reasons why we move from one place to another.
4. Now my children, remember your root places whenever you go far from it. And once a while, come home to see how it is faring. And if you have anything good to do to it, do it because it is your root.
5. Now all the children of Ota were very moral in their attitudes, for their grandmother had taught them so much with stories. And Ota called Oziohu his mother apart and said, how do you instill morality upon this children? For I have neither seen you threatening them nor beating them.
6. And Oziohu said, I have found morality as a thing of nature. And anyone who is willing to be moral can be. For there is only one law to it and it is to do good to everyone around you according to your ability.
7. To obey this law of morality is not a hard thing to do, therefore it requires no threats as a consequence for not doing it. As it is not hard for a homo to open his mouth to speak, so is it not hard to practise what is good.
8. Seeking peace is easier than eating banana. For it takes little or no strength or many muscles to be peaceful. But to be violent demands the muscles of the face to frown, the muscles of the hands to destroy and the muscles of the legs to kick hard.
9. A peaceful soul can cope with difficult situations, but a violent and immoral soul shall commit more and more atrocities while he seeks solution.
10. I have heard how the killing of one homo destroyed the lives of hundreds of homos in a battle. And I have heard also how one homo by being peaceful settled age-long tribal war.
11. My son Ota, it is because of your friendly nature I am like this today. If you are evil, how could I have changed.
12. Therefore it is good to be good and friendly, for your goodness and friendliness can change a bad soul into someone who sparkles like the diamond. And it is bad to be bad and wicked, for your wickedness can turn a good soul into someone who reeks with the smell of a faeces.
13. Do not look at anyone as if he or she cannot be a good person in life. For some at childhood are cruel and unfriendly, but when they grow older, they become like angels.
14. A child who is stingy in the days of his or her childhood could even be the one among his or her parent's children to give more.
15. It does not take a minute for anyone to be changed. For even the surface of the earth changes with time. We are on it today, but under it shall we be in the next century.
16. Today we worship our ancestors, but tomorrow we shall become the worshipped also by our children.
17. Therefore it is good to do what is good while we are on the surface of the earth, or else we die and the evil things we have done shall go from mouth to mouth as history. And homos born in ten thousand years after shall speak evil of us.
18. And in our afterlives, we see what they say about us and feel ashamed. And our stars shall refuse to shine.
19. Therefore Ota, teach morality to your children without threatening them. You shall be amazed how they shall be moral without a threat. But if you threaten them before they become moral, that is not a natural morality but a threat-made morality which cannot stand the test of time.
20. For morality borne out of threat is conditional and fake.

Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith:but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Singing:
Darkman is back
He's coming for a ride
Have no fear
Have no fear

Refrain:
He's comin', he's comin'
He's here, have no fear
Stay by his side
And he'll take you for a ride
He's comin', he's comin'
He's here have no fear
Darkman is back
Nana is here

The coming of fictitious Jesus into a real world is as impossible as pushing a picture of a car on a black board to a petrol station. Your children and grandchildren will keep repeating these bible passages. Lol.
