The History of creation
By Olumide Oduntan
Many years ago, the earth and the mouse had an argument about who was the oldest between the two of them. The mouse said that when he was created, the whole earth was filled with water and that nothing else was in the world.
According to the mouse, when his mother died, he could not find a place to bury her because there was no land in which to dig a grave as there was nothing else apart from water.
The mouse agued that since he did not find a place to bury his mother, he decided to carry her on his head. He concluded that after a while, his mother’s decomposed body began to affect him negatively. This, according to him, is the reason why he is different from other rat species and smells terribly today.
On its part, the earth told the mouse that he was the first to come to the world thereby making him the oldest creation. He insisted that before the creator created anything else, he first created the earth. He argued that all other things were only created after the earth had been created, thereby maintaining its seniority.
In order to settle the argument between them, the mouse and the earth took the matter to Orunmila (the father of secrets).
On getting to Orunmila, he told them that the earth is the oldest. He said that it was after the earth was created that every other thing began to come to be. He added that at the end of time, it is the land that will consume everything.
Awwww.... This is really interesting. Oh! How I wish this generation of computer kids know the essence of moonlight tales.
ReplyDeleteHere is a Yoruba creation story I wrote on my blog: https://oldnaija.com/2015/07/15/mythical-creation-of-the-yoruba-tribe/
Did you hear there's a 12 word phrase you can communicate to your man... that will induce intense emotions of love and instinctual attraction to you deep within his chest?
ReplyDeleteBecause deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, look after and guard you with his entire heart...

This instinct is so hardwired into a man's mind that it will drive him to try better than ever before to to be the best lover he can be.
