Long before Eve wedded Adam
And begat Abel & his murderous
brother turned fugitive

Long before Noah’s ark set
sail atop the deluge
and the rainbow showed up

An autochthonous people
lived by the banks
of Njaba River.

A man emerged out of Njaba,
Chi-Ukwu’s creation,
And married Lolo.

Lolo bore Isu, and Isu’s
wife bore the fathers
of today’s Isu clan.

When you tell me whom Cain
married and how all the world’s
peoples came to be

I will tell you where Lolo
came from and how Isu clan
grew out of her loins.
