“My father left me with nothing, no Education, no home, nothing. I’ve tried to survive, I can’t go on anymore, this is what they’ve turned me to, they’ve turned me into an urchin, they’ve turned me into a girl who has nothing, a girl who had so many dreams, I’m woman with nothing, no Job, no degree, nothing, no home, lost, stranded, no one to turn to, no family.

“The burden is too much on me, My mum and my junior brother depended on me I don’t have any means to keep doing this. I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m exhausted, emotionally, physically, and I don’t know what to do, I don’t know who to turn to .

“I’ve spoken out in the media, I’ve pleaded with the president, I’ve pleaded with the governor, I’ve pleaded with the current Emir Sanusi, their fathers, I’ve pleaded to care for a girl, a young woman who doesn’t want to be killed, who doesn’t want to die, but it’s obvious nobody cares if I live or die and I want to end it because I can’t keep doing this.”
