Convoy

Today I woke up early to pray Fajr prayers. I finished the prayers and am still too lazy to sit. I lay down for a while and felt asleep again. I wake up at 7:00am to remember that today I am going to my friend's father's final funeral rites.

I prepared myself for it and watched Prison Break till it was time to go there. I arrived at the funeral ground at 2:30pm.

Chief

I met the community chief's convoy on the way to the funeral ground. The chief was on a horse, and other sub-chiefs were also riding the horses. My friend's father was a chief and told them that they had to follow the traditional rules of the Dagban culture.

The chief was going to the funeral ground with the war leader of the community called the KAMO NAA, the local dialect.

Kamo Naa

I stood for a while for the convoy of the community chief's convoy to pass to the funeral ground. They went with happiness, and I was also happy to see some display of the Dagban culture.

Convoy far away

They had arrived at the funeral ground, and they had to perform or obey cultural rules before the community chief could assume his seat. They perform and obey those cultural practices before the community chief takes his seat. They stood for a while for those practices to be done.

Performing tradition

I was at the funeral ground and was excited to learn about my culture. I have observed and learned how they dance some of the local dances on the funeral ground.

That is how my day went, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
