Sister Power Niamey Streets
The elders rule on the young regardless of gender
Big sister is watching you holding a symbolic whip
The sceptre of her authority, the infamous “chicote”
It is the traditional bullwhip made of a twisted ox nerve
It is used as a walking stick but it is the ultimate punishment tool
