WHETHER YOU WORRY OR NOT, YOU CAN'T STOP THE MARRIAGE. "AMINA DOKO, WO A GI YA MIN. WALLAHI KIN BURGE NI."
If your husband wants to take more wives, tell him, show him publicly that you are not afraid of step wife. You are ready to support the husband 100% to ensure that the marriage is done successfully.
During occasions, Dance, shun your sorrow & do not allowed devil have a space in your heart.
God, as you grant Prince MK's wedding in peace, many people out there want to add more wives to reduce the level of unnecessary in our community. May you grant good people to get more wives, Amin! And give them any thing that it's required to marry, Amin!
I also pray for the bachelors facing difficulties in their courtship, May you grant their wishes...

BAGO THE MIDFIELDER OF NIGER STATE 2023.
NMA KOLO THE POLITICAL GLADIATOR OF NIGER STATE AFFIRMED THAT "POLITICS IS NOT ABOUT NOISE MAKING BUT POLICY MAKING. BAGO IS A MESSIAH KEPT FOR 2023 TO RESHAPE NIGER STATE...."
Nma Kolo in a brief interaction with me stated that "I am not after underrating anyone but we are generally focused on the strategic plans to deliver our Captain; Bago the Okocha of Niger State come on 18th March, 2023."
I pushed further to learn more as an engager but Nma Kolo never get tired of giving me the good output I needed from him.
"Prof, even God Almighty doesn't want us to talk too much if we are making policies or progresses. Bago is not a noise maker, he doesn't like too much show-off. He can pass a night without money especially if he sees you in need. Mostly, Bago visit Minna and exhaust all he has with him. I witnessed an even that he had to borrow money from friends to fuel his car back to Abuja. Mallam Adamu, if we will be sincere to ourselves, as Minna base, you would know that Bago is a cheerful giver. He took that policy from NMA (Late Alhaji Muhammadu Techno the Baraden Nupe). Anytime Bago arrives Minna, all the people of his area must get one thing or the other. Almajeri children will celebrate Sallah in that period because no one will leave that vicinity without smiling on face. The wife just like her husband too will go round to house by house to greet neighbours. That is selflessness in description of humanity."
I now took Nma Kolo by a shock. Sir, don't you think that Bago will fail us due to too much promises he made?
"Brother, have you ever participated in politics?" Nma Kolo asked. I responded NO! "That's why you are wordy-acquisitive. By God's Grace, Bago will surprise Nigerlites positively when giving this sincere mandate. Mallam Adamu, rest your nerves, you will come back one day and tell me that I told you this with confidence on my brother; Umar Mohammed Bago."
Lastly yaNma, can Bago tolerate Nigerlites when he emerges as Governor? Are you assuring
JEBANCI WUN BA O
IN THOSE DAYS, OUR MOTHERS DON'T USE GRA-GRA DANCE UNLIKE NOWADAYS LADIES.
Nupe Dance is a unique form of Dance in those days but modernization almost bastardized our culture. See how wonderfully our mothers are taking steps one after another.
We call this dance "Jebanci wun ba o."

YOUR STATUS SHOULD NOT BE THE REASON....
NO MATTER YOUR STATUS IN LIFE, DON'T DUMP YOUR ORIGIN. LATE PROF DANINYA WAS A LOCAL BARBER TILL DATE.
In this Nupe Poem written by Raji Maimuna Egigogo it tells the uniqueness of a man to hold his craft work, for this handwork may be an inheritance from forefathers.
Many of us suffer today for ignoring our origin because when a high status fade the only left option is your art work.
In KinNupe of yesterday, no house doesn't have a trade work. Many of Nupe traditional titles complement the trade work of the family or the village those settlers came from or an associate to a particular reason, unlike now a days that many people brought traditional titles to KinNupe that has no relative relation with our custom and identity.
May ILLEC Nupe Language succed, Amin!

NUPE MARRIAGE SONG BY ILLEC NUPE SCHOOL.
SOME PEOPLE BURST OUT TO TEARS. IT WAS A PRACTICE ON HOW VIRGIN BRIDES CRIED IN KINNUPE IN THOSE DAYS. IT WAS A TABOO TO SEE A NUPE LADY DIFLOWERED BEFORE MARRIAGE AND SHE GET CELEBRATED IF SHE MAINTAINS HERSELF UNTOUCHED.
To revive a Culture or Language, a lot of people must cross their fingers. Some will workforce their ability while some will only see and enjoy.
ILLEC is well committed searching for the way out to see how our gesture will look like those of Mahatma Ghandhi, Shakespeare, Nelson Mandela and lot more heroes of freedom....
Histories are made through different gallant contributors. It was never a one-man affairs. If some persons has ideas, other ones should have the zeal to walk it on, simple!
By God's Grace, more of this Arts will come your way on the day of our Maiden Combined Graduation Ceremony of ILLEC Nupe School which comes on 19th March, 2023 at Kowa Schools Minna by 9am.
You will see things like,
Nupe Marriage,
Nupe Old Hawking Song,
Nupe Style of Brushing our teeth etc.
God, we call on your names to mediate into our affairs of the study of Nupe Language, Amin!
Good morning folks!
