King Bubu, the Fulani Herdsmen, and the oil vandals

1. In the first year of the reign of King Bubu son of Hari, She-cow and his band of brigands were repelled by commanders loyal to King Bubu son of Hari.

2. Many She-cow’s men were felled by the swords, and many surrendered. She-cow fled with some of his men into the recess of Sambissa wilderness.

3. A commander of the King’s army, Bura the snake charmer, son of Tyia continued to pursue and kill or capture several of them and he freed several hostages taken by the bandits.

4. “We shall spare those who surrender and we shall treat them humanely; those who continue to strife with us, we shall not spare!” declared, Bura the snake charmer, son of Tyia.

5. But She-cow and his band of terrors are not the only terror in the land (for the land was full of strife.)

6. From the lands to North (homeland of King Bubu son of Hari the cattle rearer), and beyond, wandering shepherds and cattle rearers rampage the land to the south. Fulani herdsmen they are called.

7. They herd their cattle by day, and ply terror by night, and sometimes in daylight.

8. And the Fulani herdsmen attack and ravaged the district of Agatu in the center of Nigira, killing hundreds, burning, and looting in wanton manner.

9. The people of Agatu who escaped set up camps and tents where they tend their wounds and wounded.

10. The Fulani herdsmen thereafter occupy the land with their armed men and cattle numbering up to five thousand.

11. Thereupon these Fulani herdsmen attacked other communities to the South towards the West, and to the East and several other places, killing, maiming, and taking hostage for ransom.

12. The people cried to King Bubu son of Hari saying, “O, good King may you live long. Fulani herdsmen are killing us. They destroy our farms, raze our houses, and kill our people. Put an end to their menace, and save us from their terror.”

13. King Bubu son of Hari responded saying, “We must protect the Fulani herdsman from cattle rustlers who attack them and steal their cattle. The cattle are important source of meat for the kingdom. Lo, we shall purchase from foreign shores grasses for the cattle, so that they herdsmen will have grass in abundance.”

14. “We shall take some of your lands and plant these grasses so that the cattle may journey there and graze all year round,” added King Bubu son of Hari

15. And when some people gathered to discuss the menace of the herdsman, King Bubu’s men arrested them, and caused them to be detained in his prison.

16. And would not free them until they have parted with several bags sum of gold in ransom.

17. And the Fulani herdsmen continue to ravage farmlands, pillage homes, and kill and maim.

18. King Bubu son of Hari would not hold them to account, for they are his tribesman, and they are cattle herder just like him, and his father.

19. And when in the South, by the creeks, rebels, and unknown men continued to ruptured chambers where the Nigira’s oil, milk and honey were kept so that it may waste and they might steal from it, King Bubu son of Hari was angry.

20. “I will crush ye as I did She-cow and his band of murderous brigands,” vowed King Bubu.

21. And Rinoe son Omkree responded to King Bubu son of Hari saying, “Fulani herdsmen attack and kill people everywhere unhindered, wherefore have thou not crushed them as thou crushed She-cow and his band of barbarians?”

22. The people murmured saying, “We cannot allow our lands be taken and kept for Fulani herdsmen and the cattle, for we need our lands to raise crops and pass on to our offsprings, and would not share them with herdsmen who wield dangerous weapons of war.”

From Vernon Howard's Q&A session
|
Why is criticism so popular?
Because it requires no intelligence.

What is meant by instant recovery?
It’s a skill for returning to yourself instantly after getting kidnapped by a harmful feeling.

We feel encouraged when you assure us we can make it.
Do you know what — it’s far more than an encouragement — it’s a beautiful fact.

I don't know how to change myself.
What’s that got to do with it? Keep going.

You said I can change the entire world. How?
Change your reactions to the world and the whole world changes for you.

Why can’t I get help from friends?
Why cant a carrot get help from rabbits?

Give us a liberating message.
You need never pretend to be unafraid.

What must I understand about heartache?
It’s a condition but not a necessity.

How can I see myself as I really am?
Ask whether other people might see you different from the way you see yourself.

I feel tied down by invisible ropes.
The ropes are your own wrong thoughts which higher insight can break.

Give us the first step for ending suffering.
Stop denying that you suffer from being you.

It’s hard to even ask intelligent questions.
I’m just waiting for someone to ask if they will be tap dancing in heaven.

Please summarize these teachings.
You suffer from being who you now are. We will show you how to end suffering by becoming someone else.

I want to find this new world you speak about.
Then don’t be like a duck who thinks that his private pond is a great ocean.

Why do riches and fame fail to satisfy?
Because a decorated dungeon is still a dungeon.
