A country in Africa's kaleidoscope of culture, Unique and blessed, with natural and human riches to nurture. Roles blur, names defy convention's might, Husbands are "Baby," sons are "Daddy," in this whimsical sight.

Who has bewitched thee, thou noble ones? Chosen to be the head of thy race, to fulfill thy creator’s will, through siring, supporting, and securing a clan.
