ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
ðŸ The Grand Family House
The house of Alhaji Babangida Wapa was more than a home—it was a family estate. Carefully designed, it united his children under one roof, symbolizing both structure and legacy.
Alhaji Babangida, a respected businessman and religious scholar, passed away a decade ago. His wife, Hajiya Rabi, was known for her kindness and love of kinship. Together, they raised seven children—four sons and three daughters—and ensured they received both Islamic and Western education.
Each child was well-established, with their own quarters on the estate. Alhaji Babangida had purchased a vast land and built equal-sized homes for each child long before they married. He also built his own residence on the same compound.
ðŸ˜ï¸ Layout of the Estate
The estate featured:
A large central gate.
Two parking lots (left and right).
Four identical residential units plus one larger section. Each unit had:
A main living room.
Three doors leading to a parlor, a bedroom, and a bathroom.
A spacious kitchen.
This setup allowed the children to live close yet independently.
👨👩👦 The Wapa Children & Their Families
1. Baba Ummaru
The eldest, first to marry. He had two wives:
Umma Hajara (5 children): Zayyad, Munir, Zainab, Al'amin, Yusuf Karami (Baba Karami).
Umma Zulaihat (2 children): Rukayya and Ahmed. Sadly, Zulaihat faced health issues.
2. Baba Safiyanu
Also had two wives:
Mama Babba (Hajiya Safiya): Aminatu, Fatima, Aliyu.
Mama Karama: Sultan and Hamida.
3. Baba Isuhu
Had one wife and four children:
Muhammad Sani (Mamman), Khadija, Sa’adatu (Ummy), Maryam.
4. Baba Iroro
His wife had only been married for five years and bore two children. Sadly, one passed away, leaving only Al-Hussain.
👵 The Daughters
- Goggo Halima
Married in Kano, childless. She adopted Maryam (Baba Isuhu’s daughter) and previously raised Hafsa (Goggo Shatu’s daughter).
- Goggo Shatu
Married in Danbatta, had five children:
Hafsa, Shamsiyya, Faisal, Noor.
- Goggo Safiya
Married and living in Abuja. Her husband worked in banking. They had two kids:
Sudais and Intisar.
The eldest brother, Baba Ummaru, was the de facto head of the house, respected by all siblings. Baba Isuhu, though feared due to his temper, was also influential.
ðŸ‘¨âš•ï¸ Zayyad: The First Son & Pride of the Family
Dr. Zayyad, the first grandchild, was the family’s pride. A trained physician at Malam Aminu Kano Hospital, he was:
Handsome.
Tall, well-built.
Light-skinned with soft Arab-like hair.
Confident, charismatic—and sometimes arrogant.
Despite his success, Zayyad never engaged in premarital sex, a fact he was proud of. His self-control amazed many. But at 32, he still refused to marry, citing personal readiness.
Efforts by his father and extended family to pressure him into marriage failed. His grandmother (nicknamed Hajjaju) often defended him, saying:
> “Unless a jinn marries Zayyad, he might never settle.”
She was joking… but not entirely.
💔 Family Conflict Over Zayyad
Tensions grew when his father discovered Zayyad's frequent visits to his luxury apartment in Tudun Yola—always with different women. A family informant confirmed this lifestyle.
His father demanded Zayyad return to the boys' quarters and marry immediately. Zayyad panicked, claiming he wasn’t ready for such a drastic shift.
The pressure reached Hajjaju, who developed high blood pressure due to stress over her beloved grandson. The marriage plan eventually failed.
🧠Other Grandchildren
Yaya Munir: Social, playful, and a bank manager. Plans to marry Shamsiyya of Danbatta.
Yaya Al’amin: Quiet and disciplined, works in Jigawa.
Zainab: Studying journalism; once considered marrying Munir.
Rukayya, Ahmed, Baba Karami: In university, pursuing their degrees.
Aminatu, Fatima, Maryam (Ummy), Maryam Aliyu, Mamman: In early secondary school.
Al-Hussain: Still in nursery.
💅 Khadija: Beautiful, Bold, and Unapologetic
Khadija, daughter of Baba Isuhu, was stunning:
Light-skinned.
Tall with a curvy, firm figure.
Beautiful in the traditional Fulani way.
She was friends with Khadija, Fateema, Aminatu, and Ummy since primary school. But Khadija stood out for her boldness and rebellious nature.
Hajjaju often suspected her mother, Hajiya Safiya, didn’t raise her properly. But it was Khadija's personality, not her upbringing, that clashed with family norms.
She feared no one, spoke her mind, and was often viewed as disrespectful. Zayyad, despite his closeness to her mother, deeply disliked Khadija. She had heard stories of his escapades and hated his hypocrisy.
👻 Khadija’s Secret Struggle
Khadija suffered from demonic attacks (jinn possession). Though rare, when they occurred, they were severe—sometimes requiring spiritual healing.
To manage this, she moved in with Hajjaju.
Despite her condition, Khadija remained unapologetically fierce. She mocked anyone who disrespected her, and her physical beauty made her even more noticeable.
🎠A Glimpse Into Daily Life
One morning, Zayyad rushed to get ready. Dressed in a sharp black suit, he grabbed his car keys and wristwatch, then stopped by his parents' quarters.
After exchanging polite greetings, he entered each section of the estate, as was the house tradition. He eventually reached Ammi (Hajiya Safiya)’s unit.
“Assalamu Alaikum,” he said in his usual booming voice.
“Wa Alaikum Salam,” she replied warmly. “I was just about to check on you!”
“I overslept,” he admitted, smiling.
“Go eat—your breakfast’s ready,” she said, ushering him to the dining table.
😡 Meanwhile: Khadija’s Clash with Hajjaju
Back in her room, Khadija had gone back to sleep after Fajr prayer. Her cousins had long left for school, and Hajjaju was furious.
“You lazy girl! Your cousins waited and left. You’re still here snoring like a goat!”
Khadija, hearing the rant from the bathroom, grumbled, “If you don’t stop calling me Hadiza, I swear I won’t hold back next time!”
Wrapped in a towel, she sat on a stool and applied lotion, muttering curses under her breath.
