The final piece here came in a dream. I went to my in-laws
place when I wasn’t yet married to my wife. When I came out my parents’ place,
there was this black bull waiting for me and he was doing that thing with his
front feet, a sign of fighting, as if saying, ‘And if you are not going to
fight me, I’m going to kill you.’ But I didn’t want to fight and decided to
run. But I couldn’t outrun it and went into the next yard and it was still
behind me. Now our Toilets are not in the house. They are far away at the back
of the yard. So I ran thinking I would be able to go into the toilet and close
the door. It never gave me the chance. When I turned to face it, it was already
there. I had to go for it and went for the horns. And it was as if I was
driving the steering of a car. When I twisted it, it fell. And the face when it
looked at me was a human face and it started to talk in my language and said,
‘You conquered your enemies.’ Hence, I call it Victory.
