Popular comedian, Omobaba 1 has released a new single where he imitated a phrase said by the First Lady during her emotional speech few days ago on the kidnapped schoolgirls in a Chibok, Borno State secondary school.
“I love my wife. She’ll always be my wife, no matter what. Even if we’re divorced, she would always be my wife,” he said.
Three weeks after their horrifying abduction in Nigeria, 276 of the more than 300 girls who were taken from a school by armed militants are still missing, possibly sold into slavery or married off. Nigerian security forces apparently do not know where the girls are and the country’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, has been shockingly slow and inept at addressing this monstrous crime.
Some of my relatives lived for decades in the North, in Kano and Bornu. They spoke fluent Hausa. (One relative taught me, at the age of eight, to count in Hausa.) They made planned visits to Anambra only a few times a year, at Christmas and to attend weddings and funerals.
