The elders told the female folk to go to war, they went and killed twenty people and returned. When asked how the war went, they said they have not even done anything yet. The elders then asked the male folk to go to war, they went and came back with only one head. When asked how the war went, they reported that the war was very serious. That day, the elders ruled that only the men folk will always go to war so that the human generation shall not be killed off.

that bolded part makes it difficult for young generations like you. Let me tell u one story.

Ya asi na obu i he ilu mee atoo ilu. The boy was waiting when the old man will tell him ok start writing it down not knowing that the man has started letting out the ilu as bolded above.
Ya bia wuru ya.
Ify onye nke m, obu kwa nu onye isi bu onye na amaghi ngbe ekere nku ukwa(bread fruit). i hope na ibughi one of them.
Mana igbo na ekwu kwe na onye na amaghi ebe mmiri bidoro mawa ya amaghi ebe oga akwusi ima ya.
