Now We Know Better

Who will you be voting for? I asked Ahmed. He has been my bike-man and friend for long. Today is one of the days we tour the ancient city of Kano together. I they go Kaduna, he replied. Why? I asked surprisingly. He knew we couldn’t be talking on motion so he replied: Za mu yi magana idan muka kai gida nka.

When we got to police academy quarters in Wudil where I stay, he started ‘I been they follow them para for 2015. See that Aboki wey they sell ciga for your Junction, na me put fire for hin shop. As the man wey share five five K’ for us con win the election, na so so big big grama him start to talk forget all of us. That Aboki no con get money again. Hin family dey suffer as shop no they again. Just because say the man na opposition, we scatter hin life for nothing. My imam talk one day for mosque say ‘anything wey person do for Earth either good or bad, God go judge am’. Last year I no vote but I fight. This year I go just vote go back meet my wife for house.

I was dumbfounded. A moment where many are celebrating freedom from defending mediocrity with words, those that also defend blindly with violence are also free from slavery. Freedom of life, speech and expression, and right to vote is gradually gaining respect again; I murmured.
