Sorry I got it wrong.
The God, Obalata was given the task of creating the earth, he had some plans given to him by the sky God plus some mud, a chain and a five- toed chicken. Anyway he ended up going to a party and got smashed on palm wine. It was his dodgy brother who built the world by chucking the mud down and letting the chicken scratch it about.
Obalatas punishment for getting pissed was to create mankind.
