Bab 74: The Choose and History

One after another, each after each they began in accordance with the words of Balogun with the respect of the king; introducing themselves. 

Definitely, introducing oneself in the culture of Ifa-ile means telling a little about a person's history and such were the ladies of Ifa-ile who have taken pride in the name of their father and their mother and their occupation and told it all before the king in the presence of all that was present. 

According to the first lady who had taken the bold step forward, she was called Elefulele, the daughter of the only notable farmer in the whole of Ifa-ile, her own very father Agbekogbe, who had till the soil and till the soil yet again to the extent that even the soil became afraid of him.

For where shall he not toil and plant shall not grow? And even when her father shall be taken to a mountain to toil the rock, he shall harvest yams from the mountain even when the time is right.
