Caging the Ijaw Egbesu (2)
THE general perception of Egbesu is that of a god of justice and just war. The devotees of Egbesu are forbidden to shed the blood of a harmless innocent person just as they don’t associate with women in their menstrual cycle. Any form of sexual adventurism in the name of civilisation is forbidden; their attitude towards sex is the conventional type devoid of adventurism.
