Fiction Review: Femi Osofisan's Twingle Twangle - Part 2

Along the beach, Kehinde and Digbaro day and night, finally arriving at the outskirts of a small town called Etido, Oba Moluwe, Olido's Olodo. In the suburbs, Olodo and other famous chiefs are making great sacrifices for a demon called Bilisi [the monster in the river], demanding the most beautiful virgins every year. However, in this unfortunate year, the only daughter of poor Orodo, Laume, happens to be the victim, and she will be offered to Billy as a sacrifice. At the expense of Digbaro and Kehinde hiding, Olodo made a crazy effort not to release his only daughter after revealing the hidden secrets. The indomitable daughter insisted on offering herself to the sacrifice of the people, and she was her servant Anu, who promised to die with her boss.

Soon, all the people left the scene, leaving two people waiting to die, letting Billis attack them. Bilisi did come out, and when the hidden Digbaro and Kehinde came to save them to kill the monsters, they were about to eat them.

It is not easy to find Taye and Efundunke in the forest. Finally, they went to a small village where they thought they could get food and water, but in their opinion, it was a ghost village because there was no one inside. Despite this, the village also held an annual festival, Ereko's Oba Elenon gave him his daughter Tinuade and handed half of his estate to anyone who dared to take the last exam. Officials, businessmen, and professors failed because they could not swallow hot soup immediately.

Since then, Taye has appeared as a princess from his secret place and Efundunke, but not to win the victory but to eliminate hunger. Efundunke resisted him, but he refused, and he was more willing to face any trial where the lost person would be killed. Finally, he won, he will accept the wife the princess refused. In the end, rejecting the princess is also a serious crime. This insulting habit or attitude put him in jail.

In the village of Etido, Kehinde became king; as a result of the problems of newborn babies celebrated by all citizens, Kehinde believes that this is because a continuous war wastes the lives of his citizens and does nothing. He was called a dictator and they rose up against him and planned his impeachment. Therefore, he ordered that he should fight the last village in the village of Ereko before he left the throne.

After the death of the current king, Taye of the village of Ereko became king and married the king's daughter Tinuade. He did not see the news that the most powerful town of Etito was about to wage war against his village. He suggested that his people should not become cowards, but prepare to welcome war warriors with food and drinks. They did a good job, slamming, making soup, eating, getting married, and the war went even to their vey door steps. Kehinde knows each other, although under a range of conditions, Taye will not destroy the village where he agrees to all the proposals.

It lasted for a long time and all the soldiers were drunk and slept. All of their weapons are packed with arms and legs of all, including their leader Kehinde. So, in the village of Tay, Ereko won. The twins later ventured home.
