LOVES NOT IN HER DICTIONARY

EXPLANATIONS.

"Secondly the Godotse, a traditional piece of cloth which served as an under garment for our female forerunners. This pieces of traditional cloth would serve as your underwear until after the ritual." Jennifer was curious about thias requirement , to understand the reason behind the choice of pieces of cloth which looked like it was going to be uncomfortable over her day to day undies ... she inquired.

"Pardon me Grand pa! why go through all the hustle? I mean no disrespect but why not maintain my normal undies? No offense to this whoole ... you know all these. ' failing to even get the name' wouldn't my normal underwear serve the same purpose?" Trying so hard with finding the right constructions to not hurt the wise old man's feelings as well as get the background meaning to his choice. Togui was amused at the way she reacted as well as spoke about the Godotse. Never the less he was happy she was ready to learn. She looked uncomfortable yet a spirit of determination. it was a sign of a great leader. This admonition made his heart heavy and made him gaze upon her pitifully.

" She would have been a priceless gift to us if she was not condemned to a ruthless fate. Oh! How some mighty mayest fall." he said bitterly within. His emotions was crystal on his projector to an overly eager Jenn who was waiting a clarification to her questions. she layered another query.

"Grand pa!" she called TOGUI'S attention. The old man corked an eye brow with a question in skepticism.

"My lady I believe we already agreed on how to address ourselves?"

"oh ..yeah! My bad! I failed to initiate the terms in our deal shoot! I will do well to adhere to it from now on. Besides, why do you look at me with a sad fixture ? Did I say or do something wrong?"

"Aawoo evi! 'No my daughter' I just had a little mind break with myself. " he replied with a smile after he had adjusted himself properly.

It was the very first time since he had arrived he called her his daughter. His pain would exposed the truth if he didn't keep it in check. He might even end up invoking dire consequences on himself.

"Thank goodness the fool of a son ' he said in his head referencing old soldier in respect to the statement he was about to make. He could never say that out loud not in private not to mention publicly, moreover it's not meant to be an insult but a description of his short sighted conduct more often than never.' not present."

He would have taken his emotional disposition then to be that of something way complicated like 'affection' and start acting stupid. 'shaking his head incorrigibly' He prompted himself of the principal of nondisclosure in his line of duty.

"Sooo? 'she dragged' still waiting for the explanation to my earlier query."

"Yes! My lady, before I touch on your question, I should admit 'ala sike to agbadze de la ye Zoe na!' ↔️Birds of the same feathers flock together truly!' I can't quite deny the similarities I have noticed you share with your husband. he points out sardonically pre his elaboration.' Of course! it did serve a purpose but only one! Thus, covering the bodily nakedness neglecting one not of the surface. Allow me elaborate.

A person has two distinct forms thus the Physical and Spiritual. When a child is born, it enters this dimension bare. All present bear testimony to this but are blinded to the condition of the Spirit. A person is in the nude both bodily and spiritual when you arrive here but is covered in physical cloths to solve that of the bodily nude leaving the spirit. Thus spiritual nakedness is shrouded to the ordinary eye. Only a handful with an open third eye are privy to this bareness. Just as a person without underwear is exposed without clothes? That is exactly the way it is to a spiritualist without the right padding. Panties only cover the body exempting the spirit, this is so, for God knows why? However, this particular traditional piece of cloth shades the body and spirit as well as protects.

To the ordinary eyes, this traditional piece of cloth holds no weight. But to those that are accustomed to the old ways, also well informed of the various key roles the piece of traditional cloth plays in many circumstances, attest to the might of the Godotse.

In the olden days many warriors returned home with not as much as a scratch! from the battle Field just for the mere fact that, their wives had deemed it necessary to tie a thin piece of this traditional cloth to them when they were leaving for battle. Note! This was what our female forerunners swore as undies in those days. Many a men of my statute who could not be easily subdued have been brought to their knees in the face of the Godotse.

The Godotse could be used to register a man cuckold, curse a person, primarily be a defense against evil. A sword in the hands an ordinary person could be a kitchen knife whereas in the hands of a warrior becomes a deadly weapon. The Godotse in the hands of a female without archaic understanding is simply a rag whiles in the hands of a week vested traditional female is a lethal weapon! The utmost benefit from this mere looking cloth is ultimately dependent on the knowledge of the wielder. This traditional piece of cloth has been a decisive tool in many critical scenarios. The main benefits of this traditional piece of cloth is firstly to cover the physical nakedness, secondly to shade spiritual nakedness then thirdly the shade against evil." The very this Jennifer needed to sustain her momentarily all in one." he concluded. Which makes it the best choice in respect to the ceremony ass much as custom demand.

Truth is I have heard quite a few remarkable things about this cloth also seen it on the young maidens through the occasional visits we take to the village for traditional festivals as you are aware of ' implying Jenn's. Somehow, all this deep fresh discovery makes it even more astonishing." commented the third wheel aka. Mansa

"Nè zozo gè dè èfia Tor wo si a fo adzè! ↔️ it seems you my dear child is going to be privy to some very delicate intricate information you are not likely to come by easily, by association." Togui said calmly

"this is mind blowing! That's really some serious guarded secrets about this cloth. I mean it is a whole nuclear defense on it own yet to be discovered. initially I didn't give much thought to this .. you know? now am stunned! This is an overwhelming revelation be frank.

"Of course! my lady. Even one with a tip of the ice berg was moved. How much more you with not head start? with no prior hand note of all this heavily guarded knowledge to take in. in consideration of your condition, we need not stress you. I humbly inquire... shall we continue or pause? I promised the king to protect you from harm and I mean to do that." Togui assures boldly

"Definitely we shall only progress! Before we do, am suddenly curious about something. Are you not bothered to be revealing such information considering it could go against you fatally somehow?" JENN asked

"No my lady. " he responds

" Why?"

"Remember these statements? 'A sword in the hands of an.... The utmost benefit from this mere looking cloth is ultimately dependent on the knowledge of the wielder. These are the reason why an not disturbed. One must know how to use a weapon to be able to put it to correct purpose or strike with it." he said with a calm smile.

"Now I know why you had the calm demeanor through talking about something that could beat you down. Anyway, this is some hard core hidden truth/ knowledge and I can't wait to get all the other details". The old man couldn't help but grow in admiration of the lady in front of him.

"She is also a wise one! ' he laments inside'. Proceed we shall! Now that we well acquainted with it intricacies, it would be just right to know how to wear it. it was folded nicely vertically or horizontally by width into a reasonable length with regard to the intimate part; into meaningful layers depending on the time of the occasion. if it was a normal day the were less layers in opposition to that time of the month where extra layers was obligatory. it is then folded into two by length then run in between the legs followed by fitting beneath the layers of beads on the waisting an up -hill , down hill flow from both front and hind. Finally, the piece of folded cloth is straightened along the waist line in the hind as well as well as the fore to cover a sizable portion of the important places then left to freely flow to the ankle," Pouting with a frown Jennifer registers her concern in a frustrated tone.

"It sure isn't easy, it does sound like a whole lot of work as well as complicated compared to the panty which you simply have to pull up then you ready to go Togui". she wines

"In the theoretical sense it is. In contrast to practically executing the process? I can assure you my lady it is not." he encourages warmly

"Don't worry baby girl. I think I have a fair idea of how it's done. Truly it's not as tedious as you perceive it. within a snap of the finger we should be done and set to go." compounded Mansa swallowing hard

"Okay! Fine ... with you ? We should get it right yeah?"

"of course girl!" Now in a lighter mode than before she admits within "This is kind of confusing apart from complicated. Since Mansa had volunteered to be her help? she was assured it would source out perfectly fine. with TOGUI'S lecture and her little experience which she had absolutely none they would join forces to work it out some how." Although she not push to the sides the nervous agitations in the pit of her stomach? She was edgy but was sure it would be as planned. Her anxiety was sky rocketing at that moment even though she had been comforted there was no need to panic.

Togui progressed in his instructions .. "The next was the Kete Vor. A traditional hand woven thick cloth worn by royals particularly including a countable, extremely wealthy person's. Jennifer's was provided by the chief priest particularly. it had strips of thread made out of gold woven within symbolic of the riches of the cultural land, it resources and the prominence of the one wearing it. This cloth came in two pieces. The first piece was large and for the body whereas the second piece was smaller in size. The first large piece was wrapped around the whole body with hands up from underneath the armpit to chest level. The method of wearing the cloth is akin to that of the wrap of the modern day sharwama. However, to make it comfortable for easy movement one had to with legs apart during the process of wrapped this heavy cloth to create enough space for the legs due to its thickness.

"Sorry for interrupting you Togui, but why take that stance when wrapping the cloth? I am asking because I know for sure we don't do this where material cloth are concerned yet it is the same style right? I stand to be corrected tho! Is it one of the traditional requirements or?"

"No my lady, it is not a traditional requisite rather it just a practical means to make you walk with ease as I pointed out earlier. Stepping legs wide during this process enables enough room for moving around afterwards.
