NI DA YAYA SADAM

About this Novel

In the state of Jigawa, there exists a quaint private town named Dabi. This locale, home to the Fulani Usul community, captivates visitors with its beauty and a population mostly comprising closely-knit relatives. While the town presents a civilized facade, occasional incidents reveal a different side, especially when its residents venture outside, behaving as if transported to Saudi Arabia, particularly in the city of Kano. The narrator, having entered a "big" door, finds themselves amidst numerous doors with people inside. A young woman rushes out, seemingly angry, wearing military-style shoes. The narrator hides behind a bed until the woman passes, then cautiously follows her. Observing the door from which the girl emerged, the narrator closes the distance to witness an encounter with "Kal Uwar daka." The woman is busy fixing an oil lamp, complaining about someone named Mark, suggesting they might break a light bulb. Amid laughter, she recounts an incident involving a person named Sayyada, emphasizing the need for punishment. Marka, another individual present, joins the conversation, laughing at Sayyada's supposed antics.
