Overview
This is a story Ukpabi and his mischievous son, both wolves in sheep clothing whom hiding under the mask of Christianity, embark on the mission of seizing peoples lands, on the authority of God's promise to Abraham in the bible. Ukpabi turns Peter into a goat lover and Samson into a faeces eater because they dared to question him. Unknown to Ukpabi, he was to meet his waterloo through the same people he wronged.
