ATTRIBUTES OF A BASSAMAN

1. LOVE: A Bassaman does not only loves his wife, children, family members or relatives. A Bassaman's love knows no bound, as far he can find you in his enviromment regardless of your religion, ethnic group or where you came from he will surely extend his love to you.
 
2. PEACE: Yea, I will honestly and proudly say that a Bassaman is the most peaceful being on earth and that's why he is and will always be liken to the people of Israel. A Bassaman loves and believes in peaceful coexistence, you will hardly see a Bassaman looking or aiding trouble wherever he is. He always maintain and keeps peace with whomever he finds to be his neighbour.

3. FORGIVENESS: If you are.looking for a God fearing and soft hearted person then a Bassaman should be your number one priority.
Slap a Bassaman, beat him, kill his person, make mockery of him and still ask for forgiveness he will accept you back, but he is never a fool. Have never seeing this kind or manner of people.

4. GIVING: Talk of giving a Bassaman is still likely to be number one. One thing that makes him different with other tribes in terms of giving is; he will select among the biggest of his stuffs and offer it to you and still yet telling you to manage. He gives whole-heartedly and hopes for no return.

5. RESPECT: Right from my childhood I discovered that a Bassaman is the most respectful man. Regardless of your age or height, regardless of his status or position a Bassaman will humble himself to greet you especially when he is passing by your house or come to your house. One thing I grew up to learn about a Bassaman is; no matter his age as far he can still walk he will wake up as early before everybody in the house and start knocking at everyone's window or door to tender morning greetings. This is common to the eldest people in the family.

6. HOSPITALITY: Many people have termed Bassaman as been fool or stupid because of his hospitality character which knows no religion or tribe. As far you seems to be helpless or needy he can starve his family to make sure you eat, sleep on the floor to make sure you get the comfort of his bed, he can do all to make sure you feel happy during your stay at his home especially when it is the first time he is meeting with you.

7. SINCERITY: If you're looking for a sincere man, a Bassaman can not be left out, he is always sincere and love truth. He does this so that in future time you will still put trust in him.

8.STRONG: A Bassaman is a very strong man on earth , may be God purposely created them with it, they are strong to the extent of working to any length and still yet stand up right, even at old age they can work for all day rest in night and wake up early the next morning to continue their daily  work. Am convinced that a Bassaman man strength have no rate or measure.

9. HARDWORKING: A Bassaman is very hard working that's why people respect him in everything, you will never see a Bassaman involved in robbery, kidnapping, money ritual, etc not because they are rich or have everything in life but because they believe in hardworking, through that they can live a comfortable life that will please their family and the community. You will never see them in a work that will damage their image and reputation or a work that is against the country norms, this make them very hardworking.

10. PATIENCE :The way a Bassaman is patient is incomparable, he is so patient to the extent that he will know his enemies and yet will still accommodate them, patience has made him lose a lot of things but he still believe that through patience peace can reign. Even if he dons't have anything he patiently wait for God's time, because he believes there's nothing God cannot do for him. That's one of the reason you can't see a Bassaman using his children, wife or relatives for money ritual because he patiently wait for God. I love them am proud of them.

In summary;
A Bassaman is one to be and live with.
He is someone to love.
He hates disappointment.
He is a hardworking person that's why anywhere you found a Bassaman today he is always independent, perhaps he don't lack food.
My love for Bassa is awww
