In the hub of Yaya, a large circle of people have congregated around the fire pit, all looking towards the stone pyramid that sat in front of it. At the foot of the pyramid sat six men with their hands tied and necks linked together with rope. A man with dark skin adorned with piercings and stone jewellery stood at the top of the pyramid with a sharpened bone dagger in his hand. The congregated villagers all looked towards the man who raised his hands to the heavens and begun to speak.

"Behold! The Flame of Ubbo! Turn your heads to the fire and throw your offerings deep within the pit. Show dedication to Ubbo! Uikpa Yan Teomeh! For God!"

The villagers gathered their offerings they had grown the harvest year or the animals they had raised and threw them into the great fire pit all the while the man was chanting a ritual tune while others around him banged on a drum. Once everyone had thrown their offerings to the fire, they looked back towards the man on the pyramid who had been joined by two others, both with large drums. He raised his arms in the air and yelled out "UIKPA YAN TEOMEH!", 'For God', and he begun to dance while the drums echoed among the town. The villagers around the pit raised their hands in the air and swung around to the beat of the drum, this went on for a few minutes before the drums completely stopped and the man on the pyramid raised his hands once more.

"We have more offerings! From the Aikha tribe! Look, slaves who have offered themselves up to Ubbo. Witness their sacrifice!"

He pointed the dagger at them and they were quickly pushed by a warrior so that they would climb up the stairs to the pyramid. The villagers around them begun cheering and clapping their hands, all knew that with the sacrifice of these men the harvests would be good next year. The men begun to slowly climb up the stairs, restricted by the rope that was around their neck and wrists. Once they had reached the top of the pyramid, the ropes on their necks were cut off and they were held back by warriors as the first was placed upon a stone pedestal. Silence went over the village as the priest raised his dagger, before plunging it into the mans chest. Cheers echoed throughout the village as the body was thrown down the stairs, straight into the fire pit. The next was placed on the pedestal, then the next, and the next, until all the sacrifices had been made. A small pot of blood was collected from the sacrifices then placed inside the pyramids temple. The priest came back out of the temple and raised his arms.

"UIKPA YAN TEOMEH!"

The chant was echoed over and over by the villagers, for they knew that these sacrifices would provide them with the blessings they needed to have great harvests, grow great flocks of animals. All that comes from Ubbo, must return to Ubbo.
