Rosary pea or Abrus precatorius is commonly known as jequirity bean, a climbing herbaceous flowering plant in the bean family Fabaceae.
As you may know, Abasyaba love/like meat.
So, long - long ago, a group of the original basyaba who liked meat so much were hunting and they saw a flowering plant with ‘attractive’ Rosary pea/seeds – oburunga but it was in the middle of a lake.
They were attracted to go for the Rosary pea regardless of the water. In the process,they drowned.
Since then, Rosary pea / oburunga became Abasyaba clan’s totem.
Am glad I have understood my Clan better
