By his tattoos and earrings, Mama and Papa concluded he was no good.
“He’ll get you pregnant and abandon you”
“Ai zai zama miki mijin Hajiya”
“He’s a player”
And many more were said, but, I didn’t listen.
Six years down, tattoos and earrings still worn
Blessed with two kids, I’m glad I didn’t listen.
Ai zai zama miki mijin Hajiya is a Hausa phrase used to refer to men who depend on their wives financially.
