 COCK CROW AT DAWN

BY

HRH DR SABO AJIDOKU EMMANUEL


The cock is a brave, honest and fearless bird. It is courageous, super-productive, sensitive and responsive. Just imagine the hour of its start-routine duty. Right, imagine, at night, when the dark streets become menacing to all creatures, the cock is the only creature that triumphantly first, announces the break of dawn. This cry or sound of kokorokoo or kukurukuu is a heralding, beckoning, awakening and consciousness-raising signals to homo-sapiens, animals and other creatures in this terrestrial life from slumber. When the cock crows at dawn every responsible person is supposed to wake up and rise to responsibility. Cook crow at dawn is invariably an alarm clock-like device of time and timing. This is an indisputable truth that appeals to consciousness. It therefore reminds or calls to order for all to get ready to start another day’s chores or activities.


Cock crow at dawn, apart from its first application of word or phrase grouping, it can also be a proverbial idiomatic expression. This when applied to conscientize an individual or group-individuals, sometimes, it becomes somewhat provocative to the target audience who will grope for a guillotine. Besides, expressions like “a stitch in time saves nine”, the more you see the less you understand (otherwise known in the local parlance as-shine your eyes), a “crack on the wall” all presumably share almost the same deeper meaning with the term cock crow at dawn, symbolizing a clarion of call to responsibility or obligation of a sort.


Now, the lazy, the mischief maker, the hypocrite, the betrayal, the arsonist, the personal shopper or the errand boy, the sycophant, the murderer or assassin, the spy and other uncultured and diabolical concomitants should all bow their heads to cock crow at dawn or else there will be a crack on the wall and it will be highly dangerous and equally impossible to have a safe landing as a stitch (that was not made) in time (cannot) save nine.


Have it at the back of your sub-conscious mind that, at dawn, the whole universe, with its cosmos mightiness listens to the cry or sound of cock crow. 

It is a natural call of rediscovering, redefining, reinvigorating in the spirit of one’s true self. That period makes one to be close to nature, to do the needful by being just, honest and God fearing. Outstanding feuds, squabbles, skirmishes, and even nuptial disagreement which at times takes an amoebic shape, graduating to a bravado, summarily get reconciliation at the cock crow at dawn.


My dear, take a lesson today by discarding all vices and negative tendencies that have concussed you all this while. You are beautifully-handsomely made, wonderfully and proudly too certified to advance the cause of positivity in all ramifications. 


Do not keep malice and be nice to all or else the cock shall first make Heaven before you. It does not matter even if you are a muezzin or a devotions attendant. It is a thing of the spirit. So, rejuvenate. It is cock crow at dawn. Kokorokoo or kukurukuu. Wake up, the slumber man. Free yourself from the shackles of this perpetual slavery and live free. It is dawn, it is day-break.

 SOME ANALYTICAL COMPARISONS OF STOICISM, THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST PRINCIPLE, POLITICAL MANEUVERS, DIPLOMACY AND THE PLIGHT OF THE AWANU TODAY BY HRH DR SABO AJIDOKU EMMANUEL  Since ancient of times existence has never been smooth. Nothing good comes easy. Life is indeed a great-struggle. Great personalities of history affirmed this philosophy. There is no food for a lazy man. No wonder, in an attempt to make ends meet, the human society is constantly in hustling and bustling. Men of wisdom, great thinkers had propounded workable theories and principles for human society to imbibe. Hence, stoicism as a philosophy, the survival of the fittest principle political maneuver as a move and diplomacy as a tact, all combined as a machinery to probably ameliorate apparently the plight of Awanu people today, world-wide. Stoicism as a philosophy does not encourage idleness or indolence, laziness, and begging. It does not entertain being emotional and sentimental. It does not give room...

 THE BRIDE: COURTSHIP BETROTHAL MARRIAGE IN A TYPICAL TRADITIONAL JUKUN WANU DOMAINS  BY HRH DR SABO AJIDOKU EMMANUEL Way back in the Garden of Eden was the premier marriage contract between Adam and Eve.  There is no any record somewhere yet, as regards courtship, betrothal before the marriage actually took place. All there is to remember today; they got married through the instrumentality of the divine declaration by or of God the creator of heaven and earth. Soon afterwards, the society grew bigger and the earth inhabitants began to reproduce and multiply. Peoples were seen establishing nations, kingdoms, empires, towns and villages. The world population began to surge as a result of procreation via the institution of marriage between a man and a woman. This union must satisfy certain basic requirements to authenticate its legitimacy. Thus the ordinances and the laws of a given society, a community of varied cultures and traditions must be respected. At this, junct...
