Narrate one Africa Traditional story on creation​

Sagot :

Baraq

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

This story is about the universe's creation, popular among the Yorubas. Yoruba is the name of a nation predominantly in West Africa, particularly, Nigeria, the Republic of Benin, and Togo.

The story begins with the spiritual descension or coming down from heaven by a mystical god known as Obatala.

Obatala came from heaven under the instruction of Olodumare, the Supreme God. While Obatala was coming, he came with a hen that has seven legs, and a snail shell that has sand.

Obatala was tasked by Olodumare to create land on the water. When he reached the earth and saw the earth full of water, he pours the mystical sand on the water, and then placed hen with seven legs to spread it all over the world.

The spreading of the sand with the legs of the hen is a sign of expansion, which is a rough translation of "Ile-Ife." (The expanding house).

It was in Ile-Ife, Obatala first landed and the beginning of sand expansion started. It was after this the creation of humans by Olodumare, the Supreme God, started fully.
