Poet and Commander Ndindi Lupeta Sadik In 19th Century, Story Poem

In my history  book title " African's Hidden Treasure" There was a military commander who used to recite his poems and sing songs on  trees in his gardens. One day he organised a contest of women dancers which cost his life few weeks after the competition. He was accused to cheat with the woman champion Because she got a big trophy than her competitors. One of the jealous women propagated false news Which frustrated the husband of the woman winner And ended up shooting his colleague due to rumour. The son of the dead poet and commander wanted to pay revenge but his colleagues  rejected that idea as they prepared to overthrow the king. An affordable price  was setting according to commanders agreement as they needed more soldiers to aid them in the neighbouring land. Years later on, they entered that land ; started fighting, they won the war and the son of the poet became king. he created the Yao Kingdom and Ndindi chiefdom for the honour of his father who wanted to be king after war.
