Togbui Wenya, hidden migration counsellor

Overview

Gokah recounts a Drobo tradition in which people hide elder Togbui Wenya from Agokoli’s persecution. He advises answering an impossible clay-rope demand by requesting a sample.

The community later weakens a wall with household water and escapes walking backwards. The thesis treats migration traditions and archaeological evidence separately; the narrative is not a single verified history.
