Dongo

Dongo
   A celestial spirit revered by the Songhay people of the upper Niger. When he threw his axe there was a lightning flash and some men on earth were killed. His grandfather told him to fill his mouth with water and spray it over the men, and they would be revived. Dongo told the human beings that the men had originally died because no one had praised him. He then taught them a prayer spell that would avert danger when there were future storms.
