Well Yero, the fact that the command to bring the rope - Momodou Aduu Boogol - is in Fulani suggests that the person who gave the command was a Fula man. Otherwise, don't you think the command would have been given in Jahanka? Thanks for sharing.

The Weekend’s Humor: The Fulas & the Jahankas

Folks –

Let us do the weekend’s humor as usual. Part of why ours in
culture is cherished is because we have jovial relationships across tribes. It
helps to mend bonds in communities. Diversity and tolerance is an important
component of our lives. We cannot celebrate humanity in its entirety without
being a little flexible and accommodating. Since I am not a politician and I
wasn’t created one, I love my humor. For a minute, I am asking the politicos to
give me a little bit of space while I wallow in my humor. 

I contemplated sharing this story because I know my Jahanka
cousins will have something to hang onto and who knows for another year. 

Momodou Aduu-Boogol

The story goes that three (3) Jahaa (Jahanka) men had a
tussle with many of their Fulbe cousins. The three overpowered their cousins
and tied all the Fulbe with a single rope. 

One of my personal friends always teases me with, “Momodou
Aduu-bogol.”  Hmm…This story didn’t sound
right to me. How can t-h-r-e-e Jahankas overpower about thirty-three Fulbe? If
you are just wondering like I am, you must conclude that it must have been the
ones we had around then. The ones we have now can’t do it. 

Best wishes for the holiday,

Yero.
