Lost people
1
We are A lost generation without any regard for our culture, tradition or religion.
How can we prefer other people's practices and abandon ours? We the Hausa Fulanis have a rich culture, sound religious and moral orientation but all these are nowhere tobe found in this contemporary generation where the practice of other people's religion, culture and doctrine is the order of the day.
Example, our marriages today are just a copy of other people's culture starting from the pre-wedding picture down to the marriage itself where you see the bride in a wedding gown which of borrowed culture or tradition or should I say religion? Even engagements are now between the guy and the lady leaving their parent out of it entirely.
At last, we need to come back to our senses because this is all that is wrong with us and let's hold our cultural values and traditions that are not in conflict with our religious belief with high value and promoting our own way of life is more important than helping others promote theirs. To be educated and enlightened doesn't mean to practice other people's tradition and culture. A word they say is enough for the wise.
