There was this very rich Isoko Man in Ozoro who had only one daughter. When the daughter was of marriageable age, the father sent news around town that all the eligible young men should come to compete in a test which would determine who was fit to marry his daughter. On that set day, all the able-bodied young men came out. Some came with paper and biro and others with cutlasses and swords. The rich man took them to his swimming pool and addressed the men: Any of you who can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other would marry my daughter. In addition, I‘ll give him 20 million naira, a car and a house so that they can start life well. I shall be waiting to meet my son-in-law at the other side. Good luck! As the young men, all very excited at the prospect of winning, started taking off their shirts, an helicopter came over the pool and dropped snakes and crocodiles into the pool. Immediately all the men turned back and started wearing their shirts back. Disappointed, some of them said; Only the man should go and marry his child. All of a sudden, they heard a splash in the pool. Everybody watched in amazement as Akpos struggled his way across, avoiding the snakes and crocodiles. Finally, he made it to the other side. The rich man could not believe it. He asked Akpos to name anything he wanted but Akpos was still panting uncontrollably. He finally got himself and made a request; Please show me the person that pushed me inside this pool. One word for Akpos.
