EP 87: Nigeria- The Kingdom of the Yorubas, Tribal Marks, and Akiti the Hunter
In the first story, the world is covered with water, and the grandson of the king takes his inheritance and makes the land of the Yoruba.
In the second story, the king's wives think that the man covered in scars is attractive, so the king sets out to get the same hundred cuts, but can only stand two. Thus two cuts becomes the sign of royalty.
In the third story, Akiti brags about being a great hunter, but Elephant thinks he brags too much. They have a battle and it comes down to one of the smallest animals to win the day. Is Akiti still the greatest hunter?
