According to the tenets of the Yoruba religion, Obatala is one of the oldest of all of the orishas and was granted authority to create the Earth.
Before he could return to heaven and report to Olodumare, Oduduwa usurped his responsibility (due to Obatala's being drunk at the time).
He took the satchel that Olodumare had given Obatala to aid him in creation and used it to create land on the primeval ocean.
A great feud ensued between the two siblings.
