Description
Driven away from Magunwa for his misdeeds in Idaha, the cunning and devious Ijapa is now living in another famine struck town of Teregun.
Deeply regretting the decision in the animal kingdom to kill off their mothers for food, Ijapa looks for a way of outwitting Aja (Dog) who refuses to kill off his mother, and who, though boycotted by the other animals, seems to be thriving in the face of the famine. What is Aja’s secret?
Ijapa puts into play his cunning and deviousness to unravel the mystery and discovers where Aja’s mother is hidden, and how Aja is being fed. He reports Aja to Kiniun, their Oba (ruler), and advises Kiniun to send Aja on a long mission that will keep him away from the scene. In the meantime, Ijapa devises a plan – a plan involving the other animals, for reaching Aja’s mother (who is in the sky, under the protection of the Sky Goddess) and ousting her. This plan will benefit all and solve the famine, Ijapa thinks. What will happen if it does not work as Ijapa climbs to the sky pretending to be Aja, with the other animals in hiding? Can it have an effect on Ijapa’s shell?
