Where Nyipir/Gipir Fell Sick
PaNdooro heritage site is located in the present Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC]. It is reported that Nyipir/Gipir reached and shortly enjoyed his stay at PaNdooro [in Ngothe area]. He was blessed with more heads of cattle at PaNdooro. According to one source, he went personally to supervise his herdsmen, following them to the grazing ground. Unfortunately, he got a deep cut on his leg that developed into a wound.
He came back home and told his family that he would no longer stay at PaNdooro but should instead go back to Atyak. His wives resisted and were unwilling to come with him to Atyak. Nyipir/Gipir insisted and made off to Atyak leaving them behind. The source also says his wives and children reluctantly followed him and began to undermine him.
According to another source, PaNdooro is named after one of Nyipir/Gipir’s grandchildren called Ndooro. It is said that Ndooro, having lost his candidature to the kingship to his brother Omyer Dhyang after the death of their father Omyer Amor, went to occupy the place where Nyipir/Gipir once lived [around Ngothe area].
