Fulani cultural attire

Kautal Hore (UNITY), a Fulani socio-cultural group, says it would establish a football association for nomadic children in Jigawa State.

The State Chairman of the association, Alhaji Umar Dubantu, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Dutse on Monday.

According to him, the establishment of the association for the nomads will motivate and encourage the youth among them to actively partake in sporting activities.

“There are many talented Fulani players in the state and these children are not only good at playing football but other sports. However, no attempt is being made to discover them,” the chairman said.

“For instance, there one is 14-year-old Fulani boy that is very good at lifting heavy things, in fact, he can lift heavy things that are unexpected for him at his age.

“So this boy, and many others, can be discovered and groomed as our future weightlifters.

“Therefore, this is what we plan to do, in order to discover and bring out such talented Fulani boys to the world so that they will be our shining stars and future champions in years to come,” the chairman said.

He further pointed out that the gesture would socially lead to the inclusion of the Fulani youth in all aspects of life, like their counterparts across the country.

PASSING LIFE LESSON TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

  You suffered before you got to where you are today does not mean others too have to suffer to get to where they want to be tomorrow, especially family and friends. Give out hand out to your relatives and close friends and any other person out there you can help. Remember you can only be truly successfull if you have made others become successfull. Is it not better for many people to show up in many flashy cars  than many showing up in one flashy car think about it.    Of course there are people that no matter what you do to help them out, they will never change. Still can not say that they are not those who yearn for change. Help as many as you can because that's all that matters in the end. You die today all that you have will be shared amongst your offspring which can be squandered in a day and they may still forget you. But the people you help will remember you till they die.
