BA MAHAUKACI BANE Book 1

About this Novel

KANO STATESALGA BRIDGE stands as an independent neighborhood adjacent to Kurmi Market, an ancient market with a rich history in Kano State. Within this community, there are houses, and among them, dwell some individuals who have been relegated to the status of slaves. In one corner, a young woman, approximately nineteen to twenty years old, sat on a chair, surrounded by a heap of laundry. She diligently washed and turned the clothes in a large basket, displaying both strength and speed in her work. Suddenly, without warning, Saliha, the young woman, heard a shout that caught her attention. Startled, she turned around, causing the plate in her hand to fall to the floor. Her mother stood before her, eyes bright with a hint of tears, expressing disappointment. With a controlled demeanor, she questioned, "Saliha, what is going on?" Defiantly, Saliha responded, "Oh, if I don't do this, you won't pay any attention. How long should I keep bothering myself, calling your name and shouting? It seems shouting is the only way to get through to you with those blocked ears of yours!" Shaking her head, Saliha continued to wash the laundry in front of her.
