In supernatural Nigeria, Adebayo discovers he can control nature, a gift from the once-benevolent Benin. But when humans abuse their powers to hunt mythical creatures, the Benin turns on them, unleashing chaos. Adebayo and his sister, Chioma, must navigate this turmoil, torn between loyalty to their people and preserving harmony. "Yongngo" explores power, betrayal, and redemption in a world where myth and reality collide, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. In the hushed whispers of ancient Nigerian legend, a covert tale unfolds. It's rumored that Olókun, the secretive deity of waters, and Obiemven, the elusive god of farming, once conspired to bestow divine essence upon a child. But when the child's true nature was revealed to the creator god Osanobua, a mysterious curse befell them-limiting their thoughts to a dual nature and marking their skin with an enigmatic hue reminiscent of the straw roofs atop ancient mud houses.
Note: some things are not accurate but they are based off of Nigerian/Benin folklore

They meet in a not-so-pleasant way at a friend's wedding and seem to keep seeing each other around. Coincidence?... I think not. Come on this journey with Stephanie and Tayo as they seek to put God first while navigating this thing called life. ~ "Are you really upset with me? I was joking.... o de ti binu beyen (and you're already angry)" he chuckles. "Jokes are supposed to be funny, Tayo." I reply with an unimpressed look. "Alright, I'm sorry." He walks up to me and with his arms wrapped around my waist and my back to his chest, he whispers slowly delivering gentle kisses to my neck "Ife mi, ayo mi, eni okan mi (my love, my joy, the one who owns my heart), please forgive me for teasing you about your hair" I giggle at his attempt to win my forgiveness even though we both know that I wasn't really angry. Turning to face him, I'm in awe by the fact that this is what my life is now; engaged to this beautiful, God seeking, loving, intelligent man, I'm nothing short of blessed. God really does keep his promises. "Forgiven." ~ This book will not contain explicit scenes or cursing, but it will include the everyday struggles of anyone seeking God in this generation... That being said, I pray this book reaches and helps someone who feels like they relate to the topics in this book... HAPPY READING 🤗🫶🏾
