The story started when a man named Michael Obi got the job of principle at a new school. After he got the job things seemed to be going well. His wife was making the school a garden and it looked rather good. It was perfect until he saw a villager walk through a path that crossed thee school grounds. He then asked a teacher why a villager was walking through his school grounds. The teacher told him that it was an old path made by the villagers and that they don’t use it that often. Michael then went over and blocked off the path with a fence. He then followed it up with barbed wire.
When the tribe leader found out he came to the school and asked Michael to take down the sign but due to his cultural ignorance and fear of getting a bad report from his supervisor he said no. A women giving birth died and the villagers believed it was because the path was blocked. They thought the spirits were angry. To try and mend their relationship with the spirits they tore down the sign trashed the garden and even tore down part of the school. It just so happened that his supervisor came in that day and gave him a nasty report.
