Kano: Zainab Bayero opens up on post-monarchical life

She revealed that she is currently stranded in Lagos without support or resources, recounting how her father left her without an education or a home.

In the 4-minute video, Zainab said:

“I’m outside the streets of Lagos nowhere to go, stranded, I don’t know anyone, I’m a few meters away from Eko hotel, we have nowhere to go, since morning we’ve been trying to get somebody to help us.

“I can’t keep doing this, this is me, daughter of the Emir of Kano on the street of Lagos, unsafe, stranded, no one cares if I live or die. No one owes me anything, fine but I at least deserve to feel safe and protected.

“My father left me with nothing, no education, no home, nothing. I’ve tried to survive, I can’t go on anymore, this is what they’ve turned me to, they’ve turned me into an urchin, they’ve turned me into a girl who has nothing, a girl who had so many dreams, I’m a woman with nothing, no job, no degree, nothing, no home, lost, stranded, no one to turn to, no family.

“The burden is too much on me, My mum and my junior brother depended on me I don’t have any means to keep doing this. I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m exhausted, emotionally, and physically, and I don’t know what to do, I don’t know who to turn to.”

She added:

“I’ve spoken out in the media, I’ve pleaded with the president, I’ve pleaded with the governor, I’ve pleaded with the current Emir Sanusi, their fathers, I’ve pleaded to care for a girl, a young woman who doesn’t want to be killed, who doesn’t want to die, but it’s obvious nobody cares if I live or die and I want to end it because I can’t keep doing this.”
