Who is Shaykh Bulala 1

Introduction
Bulala i.e Horse whip i
s an epithet of an eccentric man whose way of life is shrouded in mystery to many people. Shaykh Muhammad Jami'u Amao Bulala is being perceived as a mad man by some people  while others especially the Sufiyyun hold him in awe, to an extent as referring to him as the leader of the gnostics. The question arose as to how come such man of oddity who was so blessed with efficacious prayers be renowned with anomalous character that will made his kinsmen branded him as a mad man? The reason is not far-fetched because he used to adorn his fingers with different sorts of rings, his head draped with different kinds of caps, he was peculiar with wearing of T-shirts and short knickers,carrying swords and horse whips, wherever he went. This among others attest to their view about him, but alas! This man was more than all these, he was a scholar, a gnostic, a father, a mentor,an icon and ambassador who was a spiritual leader plenipotentiary of his town. Thus, this series is an attempt to explore the personality of the gnostic under reference  and justify his stance in line with Sufism.
