Omo ki i ba ipele iya re nile ki o si aso da. (A child does not inherit her mothers shoulder-wrap and still go for a wrong fashion style.) (The existence of a mothers shoulder-wrap prevents the child from being un-fashionable.) This is the wisdom of my foremothers. Can you read the sense! If a child met the best home-grown path, he or she wont be wayward. We are losing the wisdom and some are happy. China blindly followed communism till 1979 when she went back to Confucian ethics and restructured communism to suit her local existence. This wisdom above shows that mothers build the homes. When you teach a child that other people not sharing your faith are infidels without teaching also that they MUST however live peacefully with all men, tell me if Boko Haram will not surface? When you wake up and scare the hell out of your child because he has a bossom friend from the other faith calling them terrorists, tell me youve not built hatred. Our dogmatism will continue to hurt, hunt and haunt us. End Boko Haram today and another will rise tomorrow. We lost our homes and take pride in foreign idiosyncrasies. If a home is peaceful, my elders say ask the woman of the house. Where are the women today please? How many can we boast of? I met a good shoulder-wrap; hence, I know what societal fashion is. My father can beat you to coma because of religion, my mom will only advise you. We have lost everything and we bask in the euphoria of Arabian and European dis-civilisations forgetting that we are only managing our doom. It will continue to torment and give us nightmare plus daymare. What shoulder-wrap are the children inheriting today? A five-year old boy wrapped in bombs. Imagine! Just because of what? We keep denying and remain dogmatic. On almost everything, you divide and segregate one another as if you dont have the same red-blood or youre not of the same race. I met a good shoulder-wrap and my children must meet same. Africa remains my pride. We shall weather the storm. No other continent or race think of us; we are the ones who fight STUPIDLY for their ideologies. The only thing others think about Africa for is to come and exploit us. My moms shoulder-wrap showed me the way. Im INTELLECTUALLY fashionable. I must show my children not feed them with bunkum thats why a woman like MAMA MADIKIZELA will forever remain my choice.
