The article presents Polish translations of two poems written in the Ilorin-spoken Hausa. The poems entitled A gidan Ilori (“In the House of Ilorin”) and Cinikin mai rowa (“Trading with a Miser”) are extracted from the anthology Ilorin Praise Poetry (2011) published by Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah – a contemporary Nigerian Ilorin-born poet. The author is a scholar in African traditional oral literature. The late motif of the poet’s anthology is to honour his hometown – Ilorin. In his volume Na’Allah included poems in English and Yoruba as well as three poems in a local variant of Hausa. Translations of two of them are provided along with their interpretation. A gidan Ilori is a kind of panegyric praising the religious and intellectual heritage of the city of Ilorin while Cinikin mai rowa is a satire criticising the greedy attitude once observed on the streets of Ilorin. In their form and stylistics both poems refer to the concepts of traditional Nigerian oral art.
