Mortality of children and adults would reduce to nothing while barren women would carry children born through their wombs
. Women with pragnacies will have safe and peaceful delivery.

There were drum - beats and songs from the inner chambers as men and women in the palace sang with him while the most senior prince, Obayigo opened the floor with dancing steps, others soon follow.
" After all", thought the prince, "a man is a man . I have all the wealth and powers to shake the town if I wish. But, I will give the king all the support he deserves so that I can continue to hold my ground".
