  • The Stolen Egusi Soup Aroma

    19 JUL. 2023 · A long time ago in the village of Ipetumodu, there lived a poor woman. This woman was so poor that she did not have any soup for her eba.

One day, as the poor woman was sitting down to her only meal for the entire day, a small bowl of eba, the aroma from her neighbor's cooking wafted down through her window.

He had survived as long as he could on his wit but he soon began to suffer like all the other animals as every available source of food disappeared.

  • Akiti,The Great Hunter

    28 JUN. 2023 · A Famous hunter and wrestler named Akiti boasted that he was stronger than any other man or animal. He had easily overcome a giant, a leopard, a lion, a wolf, and a boa-constrictor, and as nobody else opposed his claim, he called himself “the King of the forest.” Wherever he went, he sang his triumphant wrestling song, and everyone feared  and respected him. But he had forgotten the Elephant, who is a very wise animal and knows many charms. One day the Elephant challenged him and declared that he had no right to call himself “King,” as the Elephant himself was the king of the forest and could not be defeated.
