The Shante League Volume 1. ACID RAIN contd. Osahon recieves the sound signal and replies "thank you yetunde" In the city square, the statue of the Ogie of Benin stood pround until the powerful surge of the lightning strikes right straight to its arm and cracks it. The fore arm of the Ogie falls right down with a huge thud that quivered the earth like a giant thud, only to fall on the people who were running by and so many other casualties occur even with that of the other lightning surges and cars and people crashing into one another. The statue of the Ogie is indeed a mighty ond which was about 1000ft high above the 298ft platform on which it stood. It was made over some four thousand years ago and was made of iron, bronze and gold and ceramic-clay. One of the lucky survivor of the big fall cries out "This is judgement day, hey o!". Another, a bald head man with his hand on his head says "the gods are angry o!". "These are the assumptions of many and this storm is causing so many hazard to the citizens. The hand of the Ogie has been struck down and that means disaster. It took a hundred years to set up that mighty statue of the Ogie of Benin" he narrates from that satelite visual ordeal. He checks his news watch and it was 6:59 pm, just a minute to the rains. "It's about time for the rains to begin. I'm Idedia Osahon reporting from Benin city. Over to you Yetunde. Over and out." he ends his relay. "Thank you, Osahon. Please stay indoors" she advices again and warns. "It's about time now, over and out." she cuts up and so does ZA tv. * * * * * * Some seconds later, the rains begins its down pour as heavy as possible and the lightning flashes intense and the sounds of thunder rumbling like war canons. Those who were really afraid and superstituos visited their place of worships before the rains to pray just incasd. Outside in the rain was a native doctor (voodoo priest) who still dared to stay in the rain. He's name is Oboh Utanga, a deserted voodoo priest abadoned and ignored because of who knows what, and for this reason harbors hate inside of him. "Ha ha ha! The gods are angry. Ha ha ha. I said it" he laughs wickedly under the nature of the rain and does not get striked by the lightning or even burnt by the pH of the rain. He begins to recite incantations in Ïbo. "Come, show your anger upon those who defiled you, great one. Show no mercy, great one!" he yells in anger. * * * * * * * *
