It was a difficult task but the tortoise noted that he was up to it. The only way he could get the elephant, who was his friend, was by tricking him to the palace. The tortoise informed the elephant that the king had invited him to the prestigious Ofala festival in Igbo land.
The elephant follows the tortoise
Delighted by the news, the elephant joined the tortoise without knowing about his intention. After they had trekked for a while, the tortoise asked the elephant to carry him on his back and he obliged.
He also sought his permission to tie a rope across his neck and when they got to the palace. The tortoise made a statement about capturing the elephant which he wasn't comfortable with but the tortoise twisted his narrative.
Sadly, the tortoise handed him over to the king with the rope on his neck. According to @amastories on TikTok, in Igbo land, a rope on an animal's neck signifies ownership.
She noted that the composer of the Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo song, Mike Ejeagha, used it to advise individuals to be careful of the kinds of people they follow.
