    About this ebook

    CLASH OF THE GIANTS

    This book tells the result of Ethnocentrism and Tribalism. It centers around Tillikai, a Native land on the west coast of Africa. First, the coming of migrants to Tillikai brought huge setback in the land. The activity ignited a war of vengeance between the Zondos and the Tislos, two of the fourteen indigenous tribes of Tillikai. The story in this book posed a threat to the quest for power and individual supremacy. It also addressed the early life of West Africans before the arrival of western civilization in the region.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      I’m grateful for the wisdom and knowledge to write this book, a treasurable experience that will forever live on.

      Special thanks and appreciation goes out to Mr. G. Nagbae Saylee, J. K. K. Peah and Divine Melody, for being supportive in the making of this book.

      I also wish to command all faithful readers, who have found pleasure in literature. My desire, passionately, is to increase in knowledge as you read this book.

      INTRODUCTION

      Since the returned of few free slaves unto the continent of Africa, to resettle on the count of foreign ideals, some West Africans have been faced with several crises which form the basis of instabilities leading to a sudden change in the environment. However, in recent time it is literally proving that the malaria infested forest and unbearable climate of West Africa, have been transformed into a golden face of infrastructures and breed of intellectuals. Notwithstanding, the cultural values and customs of West Africans are being swept away by European and American cultures, under the guise of modernization. These factors and massive irregularities have caused thousands of blood spills (civil wars) along the west coast of African and the African continent at large.

      In reading this book, it is important to note the background in order to understand the inspiration in it. Clash of the giants is an epic literature. It holds similarities of historic accounts. As you read on, you will find it interesting to grab the scenario of history. In the same token, it is worth bearing in mind that this book is neither a biography nor history. Instead, it is a fiction based on some historical events created to inspire.

      Chapter and two of this book is center around the period before and eighteen twenty-two, when a number of free slaves first arrived along the coast of Africa. This goes along with several other chapters and historical events, including different time frames. The story in this book may appear strange in the end. The way in which it is written was destined to unearth the danger of war in the society, and as well encourage Africans to dream big about tomorrow.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Upon the rising of the sun, cocks crew on the surface of the earth. Their tones were heard throughout the continent of Africa, welcoming the dawning of a new day. Adoring the scene was a native land, Tillikai; wonderfully blessed. It stood tall on the western coast, above the many nations. Its’ inhabitants in presence of fourteen tribes were known as Tillians: Zondo, Tislo, Slahwolo, Quando, Neiteo, Weayee, Kpologonto, Wala, Keedi, Mei, Siama, Yoboryou, Tamuah and Ceesala. They were fortunate to be the sole beneficiary of the prosperity in the land.

      Narrating the wonders of Tillikai, it had several rivers, waterfalls, and large forest for plants and animals growth. The path ways were covered in green grass and accompanied by sweet melodies of morning birds, which placed smiles on the faces of farmers who often passed through it. The climatic condition was categorized into two favorable seasons: rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season started from the month of April and ended in October, while the dry season began from November and ended in March.

      The atmosphere in Tillikai was cool, despite of the extreme heat from the sun. It was overshadowed by unlimited branches of palm trees, which protected the surface from the sun. At night, there was moon light everywhere. The moon shined greatly over Tillikai.

      Tillians were moon lovers. During the night, they gathered in front of their huts to converse, one with the other. The gatherings consisted of many youths at times.

      The young men and women sometimes assembled on plain fields to dance and sing. They also played Zogolopiapoon; a hide and seek game. It was
