Mysterious tree in igboland

[Lexfrosti]

Who has heard of this so called tree?

I have heard of this mysterious tree called "nnunu ebe" only in story. It is believed that it found in some part of Igbo land. The story said that birds do not petch on it and the leaves does not fall on ground. If the leaves want to fall, birds will carry it back to the top of the tree. No grass or living things grow under it or within its radius. If any bird touches it, it dies instantly. So also other living things.
Please, can some one tell me of this wonderful tree?

As with everything that is happening, not knowing ones cultural history and tradition is one of the greatest tragedies that is befalling us in Africa.

This particular tree is a deity. It is worshiped by its adherents. Everything that @Soundmind said about this tree is very true. Birds and insects don't perch on it. Its leaves or figs don't fall to the ground, nothing green grows under it. You dare not approach it beyond a certain distance. It talks. And when its help is sought it sends an emissary in the form of its fig to accompany the petitioner. This is accompanied by a loud clap of thunderous sound.

The fact that you have never heard about it; have never visited it; or don't come from the particular locality where this deity exists does not in any way make this "a fairy tale", or "tales by moonlight".

Nigeria is beautiful, rich in tradition and wonder.

Explore and get some education about your very roots!!!

As with other wonders in this beautiful land of ours, in Owerri Axis there exists a river that is a deity. It does not mix with other water no matter how hard you try. The wonder continues when you go along with the river to a confluence where it meets another river that is also a deity. Their confluence is a tempestous sight. If for any reason some water from river A flows into River B, if flows right back violently. If for any reason a fish from river A swims across into the other river B; the fishes in river B get very aggressive and drive it right back to river A. If you put river A in a glass cup with say another water source, you'll see a very visible separation gap between them that resembles the situation where you put kerosene and water in a glass cup.

Science could never explain any of these. But our ancestors and our fathers understand them though.

What else do you have to say

not belieing the fact that 'strange' things do happen, i don't think this in quote is something that cannot be explained with the compositions, density and general chemistry of the two waters...
