#jarumamagzine #arewa #sheroes My husband's dream was to have an orphanage one day. He loves kids a lot. We've been married for 6years before we adopted our little angel, Zahra. People always think the adoption idea was mine, but it was my husband's. He is a very supportive partner.

Dear Arewa Ladies,
 Today I'll be sharing some advice with the unmarried sisters. To avoid ending in tears you should consider 3 factors before getting into relationships. Although in the end everything is destined to be, we do our best to be safe than sorry So; CULTURAL DIFFERENCES/FAMILY BACKGROUND, TIMING and AGE GAP. Even though now that I think about it, the subsequent ones both depend on the first. You have to be realistic and honest with yourself. What is your culture like?

My name is Samir Abdulazeez, I am from Gombe State and this is my survivor series.
#jarumamagazine #suvivorseries #staysafe I come from a decent family of 4 and I am the first child.  I graduated from university in 2014 with a 1st Class degree in Petroleum Chemistry. After being unemployed for 2 years, I started selling quality male footwear and materials to make ends meet.

My name is Umaimah,I am an indigene of katsina state,I come from a humble family of 19 and extra family members living with us. My father was the eldest son and bread winner in his family and although we were educated, we didn't have much. I’ve always been the book worm so, when my family started making a fuss about me getting older, they would blame it on boko. They felt I made it a priority, girls married early in my family so when I was 27 and still no prospect of marriage a family interventions was arranged

My name is Maryam and this is my story of growing up in an abusive home. I am from Yola in Adamawa state but I was born and raised in Kano. Growing up, I didn’t have the ideal family. My mom met my dad when she was 18 and after what was supposed to be a relationship, things went south. They met on a Friday, on her way to school and as she told me he followed her around. Since that day, her life was never the same.

Relationships have always been complicated from the very beginning of time.

#DivorceDiaries #DomesticViolenceinNN I got married very early in life. I was in my first year in the university. I married my distant cousin, AbdulSamad (Abdul). I hardly knew him, to be honest.But it was the Fulani way; we were arranged for each other. Everyone said I was lucky #DivorceDiaries #DomesticViolenceinNN

#DomesticViolenceinNN #yashafeni #DivorceDiaries I met Garba when I was a young impressionable and naïve 19 year old. For him, it was love at first sight, but for me, i realized much later that i didn’t even know what love was when I met and married him. #DomesticViolenceinNN #DivorceDiaries #yashafeni

Her contributions were always brilliant and thought provoking. I was floored #DivorceDiaries
