RE: The image is made of own imagination and thoughts

This is your art reminds me of a true life story once told us when we are kid in order to correct our path in life to desist from filthy or dirty plan. How I wish you could can my language hehehe.

In the olden days there is a place called Igbo ilu (land set apart for traditional rites) to perform all forms of sacrifice there. After many years later, things were developing, religious coming in, but there are set of people who still believe in their respective means like that of old.

When a new king got to the throne, due to his believe, he didn't condemned their traditional rites but he contributed all he could as the customs demanded. It get to a stage, new oba (king) thought of developing some areas in his town, he sent some messenger ahead and they came up with their findings, the land which belongs ilu (Igbo ilu) attracted many people who wanted to buy when the city is been developing but fair that this land belong to or dedication for customs of the land.

At some point, young chiefs gathering together to convince new king in order to sell the land dedicated for customs of the land, but king insisted he won't do such a things, they kept on pressurized him, before he knows they invited buyers to come and meet king itself with huge currencies, when they arrived from abroad (Germany precisely) king has no alternative than to agree especially when the investor told the king that they will build company on that land and there would be job opportunities.

After signed an agreement, investors travel back home, while king call his chiefs and gave them their own portion of share from the land sold off without knowing that investors has also settled them before kings itself. Following week investor arrive back at the town, the first bulldozer working on land for just five minutes and its engine locked up they tried everything it didn't work, they took in another machine on the land, following days it won't start up again, investors calls on chiefs what was the issues on the land, chiefs went to meet king , they concluded that the investors should moved to one place which is reach of mineral to started mining for a period of time.

During this time, kind itself started serious sick, he was taking from one hospital to others, when there is no improvement, they fly him out for further heath issue unfortunately he passed away before reaching destination. When chiefs heard of this, they started trembling and feel begin to tortured them.

Two among the chiefs are planning to leave the town to US, the first chief his first son was killed by car, and second Chief was trying to crossed the pedestrian crossing he was hit by car, others chiefs began to run for their lives, one run to a church, at night he started hearing strange voices he run out from church he keep running at the middle of darkness none know what killed him, his body was found at the road side, one run decided to stay indoors, while he was eating in his house, he started coughing and blood coming out of his mouth, along the way to hospital he died as well, the remaining chief runs to Ifa prist to confess what they do in secrets, when he finished tell the story he passed away as well.

None of the six chiefs escaped the punishment, they all reap their giddiness results including the king as well, according to the history, it was one spiritual snakes bite them all to died, those story was told to us in order to desist from such actions or relating issue.

Thanks for share your great work.
