To make the seats and pulpit he had the courage to use a magnificent tree which was regarded as the principal juju of the town. The story goes that the people declared the juju would never permit it to be cut down. "God is stronger than juju," said Onoyom, and went out with a following to attack it. They did not succeed the first day, and the people were jubilant.
I have been wanting for a long time to visit the chief city of the Aros. I want to see more about this juju religion." Some time before, the government had sent soldiers into the country to make the chiefs stop the juju worship. The chiefs had promised to stop it, but it still went on secretly.
Let us go to the jungle and cut down trees for the house of God." Chief Onoyom and his people went to the woods. The chief went to a tree and got ready to cut it down. "Chief," they cried, "you are not going to cut that tree, are you? You know that is the juju tree." "I know it is the juju tree," said Onoyom, "and I am going to chop it down." "The juju will be angry. He will not let us.
Some days they were fairly tame, and others exceedingly wild, without any rhyme or reason. This shyness or the reverse seemed not to be individual to one herd; but to be practically universal. On a "wild day" everything was wild from the Lone Tree to Long Juju. It would be manifestly absurd to guess at the reason.
After reaching Arochuku, Mary followed the jungle paths over which the slaves had been made to walk for hundreds of years. She came to the place of the Long Juju. There Mary saw the human skulls, the bones and the pots in which the bodies had been cooked. Mary shivered when she thought of the cannibal feasts. Mary thought the people might be against her, but instead they welcomed her.
Akom was charged with sorcery, and asked to take the poison ordeal. Her friends advised her to flee, and she and her son disappeared during the night and took refuge in Umon, where the people gave them the protection of their ibritam or juju. "Ma" was in Scotland at the time. When she returned Ekpenyong begged her to interfere and have his wife brought back.
With her magic she can make devils go out of your chief. My son's child was dying. The white Ma saved her. She is well today. The white Ma has done many wonderful things by the power of her juju. Let your chief send for her. Then he will not die." The wives talked it over. "We must tell the chief," said the head wife. "He must send for the white Ma. If he dies, many of us must die too.
"D n it," hiccuped Shingle, "wont stand this any longer, by JuJu jupiter! Give over your practicals, Lucifer. Confound it, Don, give over do, now, you mad long legged son of a gun!"
The coast of Algeria on our right looked bare and terribly forsaken. It had an awfulness about it a mystery look; it looked like a "juju" country, with its sandy spit running like a narrow ribbon to the blue sea, and its hazy, craggy mountains quivering in the noonday heat. Hawk and I were in the habit of coming up from our bunks in the evening.
The shrine was built in the middle of a stream, which was alive with ugly fish with glaring eyes that were regarded as sacred. When the friends of the man who had entered saw the water running red, they believed that the Juju had devoured him. In reality some red material had been cast in, and the man would be sent as a slave to a remote part of the country.
