Oh,
Hajiya…
October 12
th,
the
day
the
world
stood
still
Mama,
why
did
you
go
so
soon?
The
phone
rang
in
the
afternoon,
my
wife
was
crying
on
the
line
She
said, "
Babe,
Mama
fell
down,"
I
left
everything
behind
I
ran
home
fast,
found
you
lying
there
so
helpless
on
the
floor
My
heart
started
breaking,
I
couldn't
take
it
anymore
I
rushed
you
to
the
hospital,
oxygen
running
for
two
whole
days
I
prayed
to
God
to
keep
you,
I
was
lost
inside
a
haze
Oh,
Hajiya
Salamotu,
you
were
the
pillar
of
our
home
You
took
me
in
and
loved
me
like
your
own,
now
I'm
alone
Fifty-two
years,
the
candle
flickered
out
too
fast
I
wish
I
could
have
saved
you,
made
the
moment
last 1973
to 2025,
your
memory
will
stay
Rest
well,
Mama,
until
we
meet
again
someday
Mr.
Dauda,
your
husband,
he
just
stands
there
in
the
dark
He
can’
t
believe
you’
re
gone,
you’
ve
left
such
a
heavy
mark
Anty
Mariam,
your
first
child,
she
is
shattered
by
the
news
My
wife
is
weeping,
Mama,
we
have
so
much
left
to
lose
And
little
Nadi,
your
favorite
one,
she’
s
calling
out
your
name
The
house
is
quiet
now,
and
nothing
feels
the
same
Oh,
Hajiya
Salamotu,
you
were
the
pillar
of
our
home
You
took
me
in
and
loved
me
like
your
own,
now
I'm
alone
Fifty-two
years,
the
candle
flickered
out
too
fast
I
wish
I
could
have
saved
you,
made
the
moment
last 1973
to 2025,
your
memory
will
stay
Rest
well,
Mama,
until
we
meet
again
someday
You
didn't
ask
for
nothing,
you
just
opened
up
your
heart
You
showed
us
how
to
live,
you
were
the
one
who
had
the
spark
I’
m
trying
to
be
strong,
but
the
tears
keep
falling
down
Heaven
gained
an
angel,
you’
re
wearing
your
golden
crown
Oh,
Hajiya
Salamotu,
you
were
the
pillar
of
our
home
You
took
me
in
and
loved
me
like
your
own,
now
I'm
alone
Fifty-two
years,
the
candle
flickered
out
too
fast
I
wish
I
could
have
saved
you,
made
the
moment
last 1973
to 2025,
your
memory
will
stay
Rest
well,
Mama,
until
we
meet
again
someday
Sleep
well,
Hajiya…
We
miss
you
so
much,
Mama 1973
to 2025
Always
in
our
hearts,
always
in
our
prayers
Rest
in
peace.
