EJIMA
The smile broadens, "we've waited so long for this day. We have waited to give you her blessing and her gift.”
“What gift?”
Ngozi did not respond. She had disappeared into the door at the far end, and before Ejima could say another word, she returned with some braided necklace, made from the tail of a cow.
“The chief made this for you"
“No way,” Ejima backed away, knowing what the neckless stands for. It was a symbol of authority, a symbol that connotes one as a leader over a group of people.
“It was her last wish,” Ngozi smiled weakly, “She spoke highly of you and has predicted your return. Everything the chief had said was true.”
