Epanza Makita, Bat Walé

For Pygmies, a bat is a very unique creature: half mammal, half bird. By comparing herself to a bat, Walé Epanza Makita talks about her superiority. Her rivals (here Walé Lokito) will not be able to copy her because she is unique (the Walé ritual is highly competitive, since it is all about having more prestige and power than your rivals).
