The story of “The Satchel” dates back many thousands of years, long before our time...
It centres around two brothers, Obatala and Oduduwa who are children of Olodumare, the supreme ruler. Obatala, crafter of humans, obtains permission from his father to create earth with the aid of a satchel. Obatala is by every definition of the word, an artist. He takes pride in his work and celebrates the permission received from his father to create the universe. Oduduwa, on the other hand, is a charismatic lover boy who has formed an attachment with a human. Has love any bounds?
In the story, soon after Obatala has created the stars and the primeval ocean, his brother Oduduwa usurps the satchel in aim to finish the job. Oduduwa, fuelled by ulterior motives, fends off his brother and ensues chaos.
The tale leaves you with a choice - Oduduwa or Obatala - take your pick!
