History of Centella Ndoki

The history of this powerful Centella Ndoki, comes from the Congo; in which it is said that in a place where the land was divided by the presence of two rivers, there was a great whirlpool, where two tribes of the ancient inhabitants of that territory were in contention.

At that time, this whirlwind enveloped the warriors who were fighting, leaving them wrapped in brown so they could not be seen by their enemies, this made it easier for this tribe to be able to decimate each of the warriors of the opposite side.

In the end, victory is achieved by the army that was painted blood red, and a woman with an ebony complexion arrives at her side, provided with a staff with several Kiumbas hanging from her and with brown and purple ribbons. She was received by the king of this tribe, who was Nkulu, who seated her in a circle made by a fire, which was the place for women.

The king then asks him who he is and where he comes from; to which she responds with the following words: "I am the request of your men, the one who is always by your side, who escapes for you, I am the night without moon or stars, the one I exercise never sees, but who is always in your battles; they believe in me, because I am death made woman ”. After this, the king retired to rest, but in the morning he found that this woman was still where he had left her and for that reason he asked her surprised. What do you want from me ?, to which she responds. That she simply loved him, for he had fallen in love with his fierceness, his intelligence, sagacity, and loyalty to his entire tribe.

She was captivated by the wisdom and justice of this king, and she wanted to be able to learn from her tribe to be as faithful as they were; He needed to know how to avoid the fear of leaving or arriving in his own kingdom, which was the cemetery, also knowing what it was like to have joy and happiness. That is why King Nkulu takes him as his wife, who would already be number nine and this he does by making the decision, after nine days, while a great spark resounds, appearing at that moment, nine heaps of gold, which are the gifts of this new queen, the youngest of all his wives.

This wife would give her king nine children, of whom would be four girls and five boys. The first of them who would be male, was destined to inherit this entire kingdom, which is precisely that of the Zulu. The queen was called Centella Ndoky, as a tribute to the spark that gave rise to the wealth received.

The king always wisely used the spark in battle, like the Nfumbis whirlpool, as a way in which he could protect all his people. But Centella Ndoki, begins to have problems with this same town, nine days after the departure of King Nkulu; all this because of the other wives, being discredited and forgotten by all.

It is then the moment when Centella Ndoki decides to address them and manifest them, in the Finda field. You have taught me much, even more so your king, but now you are showing yourself what treachery is, and you have made me prey to it; that's why I'm leaving, but they will always see me, because I won't stop seeing them.

I am leaving to join who, I will never separate again, and that together with me we will be one, so that they can hear my voice, because now I must be the one who accepts them or not. With that said she turned around, and was surrounded by the swirl of Nfumbis, and then in a flash she disappeared.

Since then the Centella Ndoki exists, and can be venerated to ask for your attention, being the place where the cemetery is found, as the mistress of the Nfumbis, who are the dead or their spirits and the field of Finda, which is not anything other than the cemetery itself.
