Question 16
Interpersonal and Inter-communal RelationshipsWASSCE 2016: Iwuya and Ipaja (cartoon dialogue)
The Headmaster: Come together! with Iwuya? Never!
Dodowa: Look Ayo, Iwuyas are monsters or worse. If you ever have to choose between the Iwuya man and a serpent, spare the serpent but slay the Iwuya man. He is more deadly than the latter.
Ayo: I have read of the fierce struggle between Ipaja and Iwuya in the decades preceeding the coming of the British. But why raise it now? Is every new day, every new age, just like the preceeding one to your two peoples? Don't you know that our people want the hatchets of yesterday's wars buried, or at least left in the museums.
