I was really baffled by what my heavily pregnant goat did yesterday.

Actually, we have been keeping the goat and she put to bed early last year, a he goat or kid which has grown since them. We use to keep and confine both of them indoors untill the goat and it's kid started showing the crave to step out and hustle to feed and play/mingle with thier likes. We started letting them out in the morning and by evening time, both will come back home and even if they meet the gate locked, they will be using thier limbs and heads to scratch on the gate as notice to us, until the gate is opened for them.

But gradually, they will go out and not come back home, untill after maybe several days, before you will see them. From days of remaining outside, it turned to weeks, while we were always keeping close watch on their whereabouts. Infact, the day I went out searching for them, immediately the she goat sighted me, she ran to me and followed me home while the kid later came back home to join the mother.

What actually shocked me yesterday was that, for over three weeks, the goats have been away from the house, but surprisingly on Wednesday morning, the pregnant goat came home, this time around in the morning, scratching her head and limbs seriously for the gate to be opened for her. Since it is unusual seeing the goat in the morning and because we were going out for work, my wife wanted to send it back to the fields, but the goat refused to go, instead it entered the compound.

We left for work and coming back home in the evening, lo and behold, the goat had given birth to two bouncing kids, hale and healthy. This really baffled me that a goat could know that she was in labour and she had the sense to come back to the house to give birth!!!

Honestly, when I got home, I have to clap for the goat. She gave me reasons to believe that goats, if properly cared for and tendered, can really act reasonably like human.

N.B. I will upload the picture of the goat and the kids later, when I get back home.

Nice

Hallelujah.

Name the new babies Buhari and Tinubu

You know what happened to that guy who named his dog after the president? do you know his whereabouts now? Stop cajoling him if you won't stand by him when hell falls on him.

Chai! I like goats ehn?

There’s something….(what’s the word?) errrrrmmm….(for lack of a better word) therapeutically pleasant about them.

Munzy14, you see why I like goats?
They’re so humble, and so loyal. Unlike some cats.

You and Goat..Eshi i ga ala Di, a ga enye gi one She-goat o...

You know it is practiced in some traditions..I know a woman that was gifted a female cow, her husband bought a male and that was how they have a herd of cattle after years...Till date.


Forget, you never see goat Wahala, you will be pissed at their mischief.

I si some cat? ka my cat nukwa ihe ikwuru..

Animals behave well when you condition them well.

Good...That was a cute tradition..We've abandoned o...Back in the days, e ji enye nwagboho laga di udi ihe ahu...It signifies a lot...Multiplication and all..

Nowadays, na cell phone, TV, car etc... Even ikwe you rarely see...Mothers always gift their daughters ikwe(mortar and pestle) for her kitchen games...Maka afo wu ebe eshi enweta obi nwoke.

I wish we will have a generation that can rejuvenate these traditions that have gone extinct.

So what happened to the goat? Una chop am?

Not they can, they extremely stubborn...But, I will still keep them in my retirement home..As meat


Yes, Aha ya wu Jack.

Yes. There are some aspects of tradition that is beautiful, and should not be allowed to go extinct.

No nah. I told you they hardly killed those goats.

The goat was put amongst the other of my grandfather’s goats to breed.
I think it was my grandfather who gifted her the goat.
He also gave her some land portion with palm trees in it. Those palm trees still bear fruit till now.

My grandfather was more attached to his goats.
He only killed when necessary.
He loved and cared for his animals.
