sister fatoumata ,the simple reason yero call me uncle was just to out muscle me .the story is this ; my mother is fula and my grand mother use to make me call every fula speaking man we met refer to him as 'kow' (uncle) .so even after i became a grown man ,i still call any fula speaking men uncle or kow .so when i came accross yero's brillaint writings in bantaba and on gainako webstite ,i compliment him .then i call him uncle since .but in return he too started calling me uncle .funny .my gran mother would have fainted .i am 30 years old getting to 31 in a couple of months time so it is not about age.thanks any way .ahjarama ankade .
