SHEHU USMAN BIN FODIYO Vii fulbe kalmaji tatii, nda kalmaji man bannin

SHEHU USMAN BIN FODIYO informed Fulani three words, these are the words;

(1)Njange. Read
(2)Ndure. Rear (animals e.g. cow, sheep, goat)
(3)Ndeme. Cultivate

(1)Njange:-
Gam mo njangai andata
Mo anda hulata Allah
Mo hulai Allah halki
Mo halki majji
Mo majji rusbake
Mo rusbake nastan yite.

Read:-
Because one who won’t read won’t know, one who is not knowledgeable will not fear Allah, one who can’t fear Allah has deviated, one who has deviated is lost, one who has lost is wasted, one who is wasted will enter hell fire.

(2)Ndure:
Gam mo durai sorata
Mo sorai humtata
Mo humtai wujjan
Mo wujji semti.

Rear or herd (animals):-
Because one who won’t rear/herd won’t sell,one who can’t sell will not satisfy his needs, one whose needs are not satisfied will steal, one who steals is embarrassed.

(3)Ndeme:-
Gam mo remai harata
Mo harai jangata
Mo jangai semtata
Mo semtai hulata Allah
Mo hulai Allah nastan yite.

Cultivate:-
Because one who can’t cultivate will not be satisfied, one who is not satisfied can’t read, one who can’t read is shameless, one who is shameless will not fear Allah, one who won’t fear Allah will enter hell fire….

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.
