Description
The book gives vivid historical account of the Itsekiris and Urhobo people in Nigeria.
Cain killed Abel Gen. 4: 8
Abraham was, in obediene to God's instruction, about to sacrifice his only son Isaac, Gen. 22: 10
Sampson was betrayed by Delilah. Judges 16: 17 21
The eleven sons of Jacob agreed, betrayed and sold Joseph as a slave into Egypt. Gen. 27: 28. Since that event, Israel knows no peace nor rest.
And so the Itsekiri and Urhobo people, descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob etc, step brothers at Benin during the Ogisos and Isi regnum, sell, kill or betray one another till this day for land matter only: Oh yes! because we are Israelites who are spread all over the world, perhaps we shall have no peace and or rest.
But with education and attachment to God, with our belief in Christ Jesus, the Messiah and Saviour of mankind, is it not time God makes us love one another absolutely and live on our land and waters peacefully. Not my will 0 God but thy will be done.
