Zainab Ado-Bayero, daughter of the late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, has cried out for help, revealing that she has been struggling since her father’s death.
In a video that has gone viral, Zainab Ado-Bayero revealed the dire situation she and her family have been facing, including living in poverty and battling to survive.
The late Emir’s daughter, who disclosed that she is currently stranded in Lagos without help or resources, explained that her father left her with no education, no home, and no support system.
Zainab said she has reached out to leaders and influential figures, including the president, the governor, and the current Emir, but received no assistance.
In the video, she expressed her despair, saying: “I’m outside the streets of Lagos, no where to go, stranded, I don’t know anyone, I’m a few meters away from Eko hotel, we have nowhere to go, since morning we’ve been trying to get somebody to help us.
“I can’t keep doing this, this is me, daughter of the Emir of Kano on the street of Lagos, unsafe, stranded, no one cares if I live or die. No one owes me anything, Fine but I at least deserve to feel safe, protected.
“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.”
