The Biafran war took a lot from us

After doing our research, the stories, real life stories of how some people survived and how some others died, how families were left motherless, how fathers went to war and never came back, we decided, we must tell these stories

We are currently doing a series on the Biafran war based on real stories told by survivors and families of survivors.

This story is about how Onitsha was captured and how a couple survived by a thread

⚡ What power did she wield?
📖 How did the Church silence her?

Medusa used to be the most prettiest maiden in Athena’s temple. Till Athena placed a curse on her and turned her into a Gorgon.

Medusa’s story is not the monstrous tale we’ve been led to believe. What if I told you Medusa was actually a victim of circumstance?? An innocent girl that was made to suffer??

Find out all the details in this amazing story. You’d love it!!

Have you listened to our depiction of Mami Wata and her Origin story.

Growing up, we heard all sorts of stories about Mami Wata, how she gains her victims and how she helps some others but we never really understood or knew her origin story

Our new video details the origin of Mami Wata and how she came about being one of the most powerful Mythical creature of the sea

Enjoy.
