Blood And Water - Episode 7
Hey there guys hope you all enjoyed the last episode, for here is another one. Dedicated specially for those who have been waiting in suspense for the continuation. Enjoy;
If not because, the Ifa man, Odessa, was also an uncle to the prince Obayigo, he would have concluded that the man was bought over.
The words of the elders must however, be allowed to reign supreme. Ifa must have the last say. Otherwise, the consequences as known could be damming. Obayigo, despite his wealth and influence, allowed his uncle to complete the processes of choosing the next king.
