Nakom Quote
Chief of Nakom: My grandmother died in the harmattan, and the harvest was lean that year. But we had to make a funeral and we had to feed our guests. So it was decided we would slaughter one of our dogs. The dogs were called Praise God and They are also in your house. My father liked to joke. And he also liked the dogs... but when times are difficult things like that often happen. So my father took one dog into the courtyard and cut its throat. And as it was suffering on the ground, the other heard its cries and came to see. When she saw, she ran far away and would not let us near. This was a friendly dog, but she never came to the house again.
Iddrisu Awinzor: Then the dog was clever.
Chief of Nakom: Yes, I think more than people.
Iddrisu Awinzor: Why do you say that?
Chief of Nakom: Because when white men came to Africa and slaughtered us for their feast... we did not run. We tried to become the ones who slaughter.
