More of "THINGS FALL APART" by Chinua Achebe - the Nigerian author - first published in 1958
Two elderly neighbors were sent for, and Noah Kibe, two grown up sons, were also present. In his obi he presented a cola knot and an alligator pepper, which was passed around for all to see, and then returned to him. He broke the knot, saying we shall all live. We pray for life, children, a good harvest and happiness. You will have what is good for you, and I will have what is good for me
Thank you for sharing this. Have very fond memories of reading Chinua Jabi and would just probably want to share this one quote of his that's really stayed and resonated rated in different forms over the years. So here's the quote that until lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter

And that is, of course, incredibly important if you're looking for something which is to be distinguished from ideology or propaganda or I suppose I should say, of unconscious bias
