Too Little Too Late Complete Hausa Novel

Dearest Reader,
It gives me great joy to tell you about the Federal Republic of Atlantica
where this tale is set. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with too much history.
I’ll provide the important details and leave you to imagine the rest.
As at the time the countries in Africa began to gain independence from
their colonial masters, it was discovered that seven islands sat close to each
other on the Gulf of Guinea, a part of the North Atlantic Ocean. If that is
too much for you, imagine six islands sitting around a smaller island some
miles away from the Nigerian coast of Lagos.
At that time, the islands didn’t matter. They were inhabited, unclaimed and
left alone. That did not mean some African leaders (especially those in West
Africa) didn’t want the islands for themselves. After all, every country wants
to get bigger; particularly when they no longer had to be at the beck and call
of the colonial masters.
One year of Nigeria’s independence turned into two and then into three.
Suddenly, those islands weren’t unclaimed anymore. They were no longer
inhabited. No one, not even me, knows who the first people there were but
somehow tens turned to hundreds and then the population hit its first
thousand. Seeing how much potential these islands had, African leaders and
the former colonial masters got ready to fight dirty.
Dear reader, please do not think this was an easy battle for the settlers on
these islands were also ready to shed blood and loose lives if need be. They
were adamant on not being part of any country; they wanted to be a
country on their own. It was a long battle and for a little settlement, those
on the island fought hard. Not once did they back down, even when it felt
like all hope was going to be lost.
Then, in the 1980s, the battle was won and the islands were grouped as one
country; a sovereign state. They named it the Federal Republic of Atlantica,
in honour of the ocean they sat on and then they made one of the islands
the country’s capital. They named the capital Aomi.
You may think it was all sunshine and rainbows from then on. No, gentle
reader, it wasn’t. You see, the world leaders thought Atlantica wouldn’t be
able to stand on their own two feet and the African leaders were more than
ready to step in and seize whatever they could when the opportunity
presented itself. However, to their greatest surprise, the new country
developed slowly but surely and the first official leaders made a vow to not
allow Atlantica be like the other African countries where corruption had
begun to seep deep into the soils, ruining them little by little.
