HE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BITTER

This proverb they say: He pretended to be Nzikoga, and they cut it when they saw someone boasting about others in the village (the curse of the agkayo), and they said: That person who pretended to be Nzikoga, descended from Nzikoga of Bikinga, a farmer (Kibungo) the year 1700.

At that time, there was the rule of Cyirima Rujugira in Rwanda, and that of Kimenyi Getura in Gisaka, which was not Rwanda's. So there was a Gitore man named Nzikoga of Bikinga, a hero who lost his example, he ran to the church of Kimenyi, the king of Gisaka, and became an expert in all Gitore works: jumping, showing off, washing, remembering, throwing a spear, and other Gitore works. all. When he was clearly important, he used hispeople, wherever he went and said:

«I Gisaka I am a man (I am more than a man). Rwanda, Burundi, and Bujinja are becoming manhood,

There is not a single man to protect me, it showed Cyirima and Kimenyi alike, but the one who happily gives me a quiver and one arrow, I would protect Cyirima. language of arrogance, he gave fear to the As they went for a long time and he said that, he made it sound like a song, while Kimenyi went to see the brave people of Gisaka and they gathered them to fight, whoever they threw at him, he beat him, making him laugh and continue to brag. Kimenyi would see it that way and it would bother him. The next day he sent a messenger to the king of Bujinja, saying: "Go and tell himhis example. He became a master of the craft, and now he made a bold statement saying:

*I Gisaka and Bujinja are hiding their manhood. Rwanda and Burundi protect my manhood, there is not a single man to protect me, except Cyirima and Kimenyi, but the one who gives me a happy bow and one arrow, I would build Rwanda's army.

Uti: Now he asks you for someone who knows courage, who will come to Nzikoga. The apostle left for Bujinja to fulfill his mission. The king of Bujinja heard this and chose a brave man, gave him his companions, and brought him with the messenger of Kimenyi. When they arrived at Gisaka, they showed themselves to Kimenyi, gave him yoga and drank. They are waiting for them, and they plan to meet again the next day. The Jinjas went to the shelter and slept, in the morning they went to Kimenyi's house and told them: «We are coming.

After Nzikoga returned, Kimenyi told the shooters. they accompanied him, and went to the grave. The Jinjas said: "Show me your man and show him ours so they can see each other. The shooters said: This is Nzikoka ya Bikinga, a brave hero! They began to sing to him and he came limping with his bow, and the jinja also worked with spears and his army. When they meet, Nzikoga puts an arrow through it and lets it go. when you hit it on the spear of the winter army, a young man came out between the two eyes and fell on the ground and did not burn. The pilgrims shouted and offered kindness. Kimenyi will be honored. He will announce the young men who came as an escort, and they will return home. When Nzikoga saw this, he became even more angry, and the people blocking the seats were surprised.After Nzikoga's keke had invaded the country, Kimenyi sent another messenger to Burundi to Mutaga wa Mwezi (Sembyariyimana, the king of Rutabo wa Nkanda. Nshiri in Buyenzi, where he lived), and said: "Go and tell Mutaga, saying: He was born in Nzikoga of Bikinga. the hero has lost his example, the runner is skilled in the work of the army, and now he utters a proud speech, saying:

<I Gisaka and Bujinja hide their manhood.
