When the villagers gave them scraps to eat, they would sing, "freedom fighters do not eat okra, otherwise they will go mad" - demanding proper food. It’s important to remember that when people fight for our cause, we must take care of them in return. Equally so, when you put yourself forward to fight for a cause for your people, do so knowing your reward can only truly be the achievement of that cause.
