The Peoples of Akoko Edo and the Tower of Babel

I love my end of the world, I absolutely love it, I don’t go there often and I’ll most likely count the number of times I’ve been there on all ten fingers. But I love my end all the same...maybe it’s the scenery...the hills...the language I listen to but cannot speak or the whole essence of just having your roots planted in a particular region (so when you are asked, where do you come from you have a name appended to a particular location).


I was talking to my father recently and while we were gisting away about languages of the region, he suddenly said he won’t be shocked if the tower of Babel was built and destroyed in Akoko Edo. I actually found the possibility intriguing.


Now this is his theory; (which I’ve beefed up, thanks to Google) If from one neighbouring village to the other, different languages are spoken; so different, so dissimilar that not a word is understood i.e. if an individual from Ugboshi not knowing the languages in this general locality were so dissimilar attempts to speak to another individual from Imoga, Igarra, Ososo or Somorika the result would be utter the exchange of gibberish or incomprehensible chaos.


So if you have a local government with about 20 odd villages and towns and between these villages, you have about 10 or more different languages spoken on the average isn’t that just plain weird.
So just imagine this; many BC’s ago, the peoples of the earth all spoke and resided in one particular spot, presently called Ugboshi or Igbo Ola Oke and so the people of this great area came together in agreement with their King (my ancestor, the original Omoluabi) to build a great tall tower that would go all the way up to Eledumare, so they could see Him as often as they wanted (the tower can now be seen as a huge rock in Somorika).


They came together in harmony speaking this unique tongue (Okpameri). Bringing mortar, water and bricks, they begin to build a tower. One fine sunny day, Eledumare looked down and thought “this is what happens when pikin eye don open” deciding enough was enough He struck down the tower.


The people looked around in confusion, as many other tongues emerged—slowly grouping together as similarity in tongue would permit, and so gifts were handed down to these groups of people as the creator deemed fit—ultimate wisdom was given to the Ugboshi people and the other gifts which were given to the others, became secrets which will only be unearthed in Gulder Ultimate 8. (You actually thought I would tell you what those secrets were abi).


So that’s all folks I hope that I have been able to make you think, confusing you a bit that Akoko Edo may just be the centre of the world...the point of the tower of Babel.
