Ora History- Eme Ora

After we left Uhonmora, the next stop was Eme Ora. There is a relationship that unites this two more than just being brothers. When Uhonmora holds the light for the drummer, the drummer is actually Eme Ora. He carries the drum on his head while playing.

When we got to Eme Ora, (i went with @moezzy) we met some elders playing draft game and i met them and told them my purpose of coming. They were glad to lead me into the history of the town.

Ocho (Eme Ora) is the drummer who Uhonmora holds the light for. It is said that Ocho is a mistery drummer and drums the mind of the gods. He was both a leader and also a drummer. At a particular point, he told his people that he will be departing and that for the people to know the success or failure of his journey, it will be revealed after three days of his departure. He said that after he departed, there will be rain on the third day. He said if the place he is going is good the rain will be WHITE signifying peace; but that if the place is not then the rain drops will be RED, signifying danger.

As time went by, people enjoyed his work and on a certain day, as he was drumming he began to levitate and people saw him rise into the air and then disappeared from their eyes. The people then awaited the result of Ocho's departure.

The drums with which he played were carefully carried and kept in the market square as it now serves as a historic site for people who want to know and see what Eme Ora has as History. Of course we visited the market square and saw the drums too.

On the third day after Ocho's departure, it rained and the colour of the rain was WHITE!
People say that this man lived in that community and he is being celebrated as a festival annually. The mysteries that histories hold beg to get answers to this question - HOW TRUE ARE THESE THINGS?
