“THE SACRED COWS OF THE FULA”



Culture is of no doubt; unique
It also spells out life’s nitty gritty
But the peculiarity of same must be taken into consideration
Before some men wipe out our whole generation

Though the Fula man lives for his cows
Please let him also know that other men live for their farms
No one weed can make a bush
Nor can a drop of water make a brook.

Before the legalization of bazookas for the sake of guarding the sacred meat
What will be the fate of those who own the munching teeth?
Cows for feast, a necessary pay by the bride, and show of might
Are the fuels that drive the marauding quest of the fula man,

I thought your dane guns and swords where for marauding wolves and intruders
Instead you point and slash them on communities of settled farmers
Leaving them in unwarranted stretch of trauma
And in excruciating drama

Well, least you slain us all and eat your meat; so your meat eats you
The hands with the staff of authority hold the cane but they can’t even beat you
Rather than returning us to the era of intolerance
I think there is a need to sit us down
So you and they can understand that it doesn’t pay to wipe us out because of the sacred meat.

MY FATHER

Many framed men Hefty yet without course Many Huge men; many but yet not strong Many Daddies comes handy, yet not really Daddies But you my Father; you are out of this world Of the frame of a house set upon the hill which cannot be hidden A man brimming with daily tenacity Considerable yet wise A custodian of truth not lies Ever seen a structured entity with a structured approach; yeah that’s my Father Relentless as the Eagle strolls the skies for her eaglet in winter and summer Many men may refrain from the cold as a bane; yet in it, you toil, not issuing complain Spent time with you; never really seen your frowning face; still, u didn’t spare the cane Many men there is, yet a Good man is scarce But amongst the few; you aim for the stars @ ½ a century and 1 still bouncing like a boy I am certain you will reap many years in abundant Joy @Bolaji Olaniba (2019)

A couple of intrigues in my Niger area; I graduated with a 4.99 Cgpa Society: and so what? I can invent I even built a model helicopter out of scrap and the dustbin Society: and so what?

THE FATE IN OUR HANDS

In the mid 1960s Dinga area, the tension became as steam rising and oozing from boiling water in a kettle, the Just amalgamated newborn in; Dinga was like a baby learning how to walk, however, her case was as one with too many instructors; I could say more than 1 parent dictating the pattern of walk each deem as ideal for the young nation, eventually confusing the tender one. Ali Balrebe was 25 years old son of a Cleric in Northern Dinga, He had just returned from Academic sojourn in the United States of Alerica, after been schooled on Islamic rudiments from the age of 8 years old in Daure town of Northern Dinga, His father: though a staunch Islamic fundamentalist showed a little soft spot for western innovation and ideals secretly allowed his beloved son a trip to the west for academic enlightenment, a much-forbidden act by the Northern dinga society. On course, Ali was a student of Peace and conflict studies at the Howard University of Alerica. He gained insight i...
