The narrative is about a journey to discover the lifestyle of the "hyena men" in Nigeria, specifically in the northeastern region of the country. The narrator and his team arrived in Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria, and then traveled to Kano, a city in the northeast region where the majority of its population are Muslims from the Hausa tribes.
In Kano, they visited a house where they found hyenas living with dogs. The hyenas were part of a show that was held to sell medicines. The show was a part of the villagers' way of life and was attended by the whole village. The villagers also have snakes and baboons, which are also part of the show. The villagers believe that sitting on a hyena is a medicine.
The narrator and his team also visited another house where they discovered a similar lifestyle. The villagers have a big event every Saturday, and they hunt hyenas while they are babies and then keep them. The villagers are Muslims, but this is their culture. The village depends on this show to promote their medicines, and people come from outside the village just for the medicine.
The narrator and his team then met the leader of the village, a lady who puts snakes on her neck. She lives with snakes and is the leader of the whole city. The villagers gather money for their orders, and they use some words that the narrator can't understand. They also say "Bissmi'Allah" and "Subhan'Allah".
The villagers gather all in a circle and everyone shows his talent and strength. They challenge each other on this day of the week. The villagers make weird things, and the narrator was surprised by what he saw. The show is over, and the villagers gather money from spectators and support the whole village.
