"What is written is written," is an adage used by some people to support their conviction that no individual can change his or her destiny in this world. Isobobi's destiny of greatness is revealed to his parents before his birth. This revelation is, however, not without precautions. Isobobi's parents do their utmost best to avoid anything that could change the boy's great future. But troubles of this world do not give them the free way to do exactly what they are supposed to do. Isobobi's life is, therefore, a clash of human effort and natural order. Nature pushes Isobobi's parents to commit a grievous mistake. This mistake makes him begin life in a negative manner. Despite all challenges, the natural order is superior, therefore, the prophecy comes to pass, but a personal mistake propelled by a curse destroys him finally.
