Could Ron Okuonzi consider publishing this Lado history. When the Europeans came to colonize Africa, they told us our animist religions were bad and stanic. They baptised us and forced us to use their names so that we appear close to them albeit different clours. They divided where we live and drew imaginary lines called borders, which people have come to recognise, identify with and stuck with for ages.
I think written literature may serve to educate and convince people that something happened at such period of time. Unfortunately, human beings think forwards, rarely backwards. There are very few who care about the past. Sociological theories say that societies are on constant change, which unfortunately is a forward movemment as opposed to backward evolution. avudria
