Igbeti town lay at the foot of several huge mountains, long time ago. It was surrounded by fertile plain and blossoming orchards. For thirty years, olowo reigned and ruled with fairness and wise moderation. During olowo's time, the natives reaped good crops, their pasture was verdant, their goats and sheep strong. They enjoyed memorable feasts and sang praises to honor the king. The chieftains, too, were loyal to olowo and often asked the gods to grant him a long life.
