cyborg123:That's personal. |
Raintaker:Are u asking me? Ask the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH nah ![]() |
Lol. It's just an ordinary threat. We call it URIM. See one very bad URIM below.
|
asuustrike2009:I have been in the village. Once I even stayed for a very long time and nothing happened. Did something bad happen in your own village? If it did, then kindly let me know about it and I'll go and investigate it. |
asuustrike2009:okay |
asuustrike2009:my great great mama was agile as I was told. She could do such stuff when she was alive many years before I was born. You haven't answered my own question though. |
asuustrike2009:Yes, she was so strong back in those days. Can your own mama do that? |
judedwriter:God's mercy is me. I am a body of mercy. I am mercy personified. |
701ecilana:Okay you call for it and I will give you what you want. |
okonja:It's what I know very well. |
cyborg123:Unverifiable by you, but verifiable by me and my team of three. |
hadow:i av already blasphemed the holy spirit na.So why are u telling me to repent? Have u forgotten that the holy spirit is an unforgiving eediot? |
oaroloye:Were you using drugs along with your reliance on divine healing 30 years ago? I am not against occurences of miracles, but I'm against organised miracles. Miracles happen when you don't expect and they are products of coincidences of nature. |
KunleOshob:but you sound more depraved in the mind than the OP. As a matter of fact, the OP sounds very reasonable. |
701ecilana: ![]() Woman, you haven't stopped lying right? And for crying out loud, I was part of those who donated my savings to save your arrse when you were in dire need. Now you are here framing me up and calling me the name my parents didn't give me. When did I ever say that we attended the same school? When did I tell you that my name is Chinedu? Why do you swim in the pool of lies with your pant of deception? Woman, woman, woman, hmmm ![]() |
purem:The meaning to life is whatever meaning you give to it. If you are calling upon a god and it seems that god isn't answering you, that's where problem comes in. Then you have to be in charge of your own life at that juncture. As a matter of fact, we are already in the AGE OF AQUARIUS where nature favours those who take charge of their own life and fate by themselves rather than commiting them into the hands of any other soul. Be in charge. |
Me likey... Iamgenius come and see this ![]() |
Chapter One Hundred and Six 1. When the homos of Ofuku were having a upper hand in the battle, the homos of Koto began to run backward. 2. And the Ofukunese pursued them. And Ovovu took some homos and ran ahead. And they set traps at the borders of Koto. 3. And all the traps were demarcated with pebbles. And Ovovu waited until the warriors of Koto shall run through the place. 4. And when they began to come close, he waved at them and shouted, avoid all the pebbles. 5. And the warriors saw the pebbles which were arranged in patterns. And they knew how to pass through the path. 6. And the footmen passed through the traps unhurt. And the horsemen came off their horses and passed through on foot. 7. And Ovovu directed the horses through another path. 8. And the homos of Ofuku ran towards the path and some of them followed after the horses. And the rest of them went towards the border of Koto. 9. And the traps caught many of them. And the homos of Koto on the other side began to throw fire upon them. 10. And the Ofukunese were burnt up. 11. Now they who chased after the horses were surprised when they saw that there were only horses without riders. 12. And only the horse which Ovovu mounted had a rider. And they shot their wooden arrows at Ovovu but the arrows did not penetrate his body because he had worn the clay garments made by Ohida his father. 13. And the homos said, we have heard of the hunters who cannot be harmed by weapons in the ancient times. 14. Indeed this is one of them. Now let us catch him and strangle him. For in that alone can we destroy him. 15. So they doubled their speed and threw a heavy stone at Ovovu. And the stone struck his back and he fell from the horse. 16. And the Ofukunese came and took hold of him. And they pressed the arrow hard upon him, for they thought that the clay which they struck washim his flesh. 17. And it sounded as if one was hitting a clay pot with a stick. And they set fire upon his supposed body but it did not catch fire. For the clay garment was designed to look exactly like the flesh of the homo who put it on. 18. And they went for the neck of Ovovu, for it had no protection on it. 19. And Ovovu cried, saying, Ahemori, I shall not forget you. And he smiled while they strangled him. And they wondered how a homo was smiling in his death. 20. Now after Ovovu had died, they turned around to depart, but the Kotoans had surrounded them. 21. And they killed them and took all theirher weapons. 22. And when they rushed to Ovovu, he was dead already. And they took his body back to the land to give it a noble burial. 23. And the leader of the warriors and the Akoto of Koto honoured him with a noble burial. 24. And Ahemori his daughter was adopted by the king to take care of her. And her dreams became a point of advice and warnings to the warriors and the king of the land in many aspects. |
Otem Erectus 15:1-44 Chapter Fifteen 1. Now Adabara said to the homos of Itaho and to the homos who came from Baji, get ready, for tomorrow we shall return to Okerune and possess it. We shall overcome the Ohinoyi and take up his position. 2. And our father Enesi shall be honoured with a great feast before his body shall enter the ground. And like a ruler shall he be buried. 3. Now one of the brothers of Adabara said, it is the best time to go and attack the land. For they are now weak. For many of the guards of the king have gone to other land to a mission which the children of Ireyi have embarked upon. 4. Now I shall take with me my five children who are strong, being youths. And they shall go with us to conquer the land. 5. Now the homos of Itaho got ready to do battle against the homos of Okerune. And they were three hundred and fifteen altogether, for thirty strong homos from Baji joined them also. 6. Now a wise homo from Okerune went to seek the king. And he said, O great Ohinoyi Aruvo, it shall become foolishness if I do not come to tell you that which bothers me. For I have heard how Adabara the son of Enesi came to the land to seek for a place for the burial of his father. 7. And you O king have denied him a space here, saying that he should be buried in Itaho which is not his native land. 8. Now O king, listen to the advice which I shall give to you from my grey hair. Accept the proposal of Adabara so that there could be peace upon the land. For according to the proverb of our land, the snapping of the finger is more terrible than words of mouth. For when the plan of the mind is greater than what the mouth can express, the fingers shall do the talking. 9. Now O king, be prepared, for they shall come suddenly at the time which you do not expect. 10. Now Aruvo said, I have heard you wise one, but I have resolved to refuse their proposal. And my resolution shall stand. I am neither a coward nor a lame homo, therefore I shall not slack. 11. Now wise one, let your mind be at rest, for we are more than the homos of Itaho in three fold. And we shall give them no space to attack. 12. Now Aruvo called all the strong youths of the land together that same night. And he said, my guards shall train you tomorrow and you shall be prepared for the battle against the homos of Itaho. 13. For we shall even attack them before they attack us. Now all the strong youths which Aruvo gathered were four hundred. And they slept within the court of the King. 14. Now at dawn, report came to Adabara, saying the king of Okerune have gathered about four hundred strong youths of the land. And now they are in the king's court. 15. And Adabara said, let us scatter them, for they have little experience. Now let twenty of you go into the bush and hunt for snakes. And only ten minutes shall I give you to return, everyone with a snake. 16. And the snakes shall be poured among the youths such that everyone of them shall scatter. Now twenty homos got ready to hunt for snakes. And the names of the homos were Itoku, Opotu, Esuboye, Onimisi, Ipemida, Etudaye, Ifakunle, Eshovo, Ayonete, Okeku, Eneyi(who was exiled from the land of Tampa), Asuku, Ochavuchangudu, Adare who was a very great farmer, Anajuru who was exiled from Nzamu when his lover betrayed him and went to be the wife of the leader of the land ; 17. Ovivi, Akuro, Ireche, Koto and Babayaro who came from far north of Negre in the days when a battle ravaged their land. 18. And the twenty homos went into the bush to hunt snakes. And each of them had a gourd of palmiwine. And they went and set the gourds on the ground and on trees did they also hang them. 19. But Eneyi and Babayaro and Ochavuchangudu, three great homos who were very fearless took their gourds and drank the palmiwine which were in them. And they cast the gourds away, saying, we shall catch the snakes with our bare hands rather. 20. Now when the snakes had perceived the good smells from the gourds, they went and put their heads in the gourds to eat the things which were in them. And the hunters caught the snakes while their heads were inside the gourds. 21. And after ten minutes, nineteen of them returned with a snake each. But Ochavuchangudu alone did not return. For he was among the three homos who said that they shall hunt for snakes with their bare hands. 22. And Eneyi and Babayaro had caught two snakes each, which they grabbed by the neck with their bare hands. 23. Now Adabara said, you have all done well. For our weapons are snakes and not spears or fire. And we shall confuse the youths who are ignorant and inexperienced in the matter of war. 24. Let everyone take his snakes and let us go to the camp of the Warriors of Okerune and throw the snakes in their midst. And they shall be caught by surprise. 25. Let four homos carry the body of our father Enesi, for he shall not delay to be buried before sunrise. For the sun shall not have gotten to the centre of the head before we shall bury him in the court of the kings. 26. Now Adabara and all his brothers and the nineteen warriors and all they who came to help him began to March towards Okerune. And they reached the court of the king few hours before sunrise. 27. And the snakes which they had were thrown into the gathering of the youths and the guards of the King forcefully, for they had plugged off the gourds from the faces of the snakes. And they who were in the court had no experience in killing the snakes. And they scattered here and there. 28. Now at the gate of the court, they were met with the people of Adabara. And they killed many of them and captured some of them. 29. Now when words got to the king that his court had been surrounded by the homos of Itaho, he crept out of the palace through a big hole at the back of it. And when he came outside, he thought that he had escaped, but a big snake, which was a large python twisted itself before his face. 30. And Ochavuchangudu who kept the snake there stood close to it. Now Ochavuchangudu said, O king Aruvo, choose now between me or the snake. For if you choose the snake, it shall strangle and kill you. But if you choose me, I shall get hold of you, but I shall not kill you. 31. And the king said, come and have me and save me from this death. And Ochavuchangudu said you have determined your fate. And he held the king by his right hand and the snake did he hold by his left hand. And he dragged the snake along towards the king's Palace. 32. Now when Adabara and all his people had checked all the rooms in the palace, they could not find the king. And Adabara said, where is Aruvo? How did he escape? For if I get hold of him, I shall do to him even as he did to Itopa my only son. 33. Now while Adabara spoke, Ochavuchangudu appeared with the king on his right hand and a large python on the left. 34. And the other nineteen hunters were amazed, for they did not expect to see Ochavuchangudu alive, being missing when they went to hunt for the snakes. 35. And Ochavuchangudu said, I wrestled with this snake when it was alive and I killed it. And the king feared it even when it is already dead. 36. Now when they saw how the snake wriggled on, with its head still on his neck, they were all amazed. And Ochavuchangudu said, I cut off its head when the fight was too great between us. And I thought saying, did Adabara not command us that we should only bring the snakes alive? 37. And I said, I shall make it look as if it is still alive. Therefore I went and fetched a smaller snake alive. And I fixed the head of the smaller snake into the head of this one. And its body did I fix into the upper body of this snake. And the live snake wriggled hard in the body of this great python. 38. And it seemed as if it is alive by itself. And when I saw Aruvo coming close, I put the snake at its path. And I asked him to choose safety from my hands or death from the snake and he chose safety. 39. Therefore I have brought him before you, O great Adabara. Do to him what is befitting for him. 40. Now Adabara took hold of Aruvo and tied his hands and legs. And he said, the same manner in which you buried Itopa my son alive, that way shall you also be buried alive. 41. And your body shall be laid lower than the body of Enesi my father. For he shall be laid over you. And you shall not be able to do anything. For you rejected that Enesi our father should b we buried in the court of the King, but now shall you bear his weight. 42. Now Adabara instructed and the grave of Enesi was dug. And Aruvo was laid alive at its base. And the dead body of Enesi was laid over the living body of Aruvo. And the body of Enesi was dressed with many flowers and precious things. And the grave was covered up. 43. And many homos of the land who loved Enesi came to celebrate his funeral. And the homos of Baji and Tampa and surrounding lands came also. And it was a very great celebration. 44. And Adabara said, now have we the children of Enesi done what the soul of our father shall be happy about. For he desired that his body should be buried with the Kings in the palace court of Okerune and we have made it so. |
