Ansarsi Māna (He Who Mocks)

This chapter describes the poem “Ansarsi Mana” as Afa Ajura's shortest extant poem and the most unique as it is composed in both Dagbani and Arabic. It mentions that the poem was meant particularly for Muslim women as they were known to sing lyrics that many decent Muslims would consider as obscene and vulgar during wedding ceremonies. It also emphasizes Afa Ajura's preaching against engaging in “bad” songs and his intent to replace them with “good” ones. The chapter clarifies that the first verses were meant to invoke prayers upon the Prophet Mohammed, while the rest were intended to admonish women. It outlines evil behaviors that Afa Ajura condemned, such as mocking others, arrogance, breaking up families, abandoning one's parents, lies, and swindling.
