I've been trying to get all these thoughts off my mind, I already told my parents i will do it, I will marry a man I have never met or seen in my entire life, thinking about it just reminds me of all the things I could have done differently, marrying whoever they choose for me is payment for all the hurt I caused them by getting pregnant while in school and having a daughter at 20.
I stood in front of my vanity, looking at myself in my black jumpsuit, and on my cornrows, I was still combing my wig, I didn't put on any makeup, this is not such a happy moment for me.
"My name is Lenora Hadiza Suleiman , people call me Norah, I'm im from Taraba state, I'm 23 years old, a graduate of Business Administration , and masters in Business and Strategy management, I am the chief executive officer of AIKA group of companies"

I've been looking for the best possible way to introduce myself to him, so I don't seem desperate, and so he will see that even if i stay decide to remain single for the rest of my life I can take care of Altima and myself.
A car just parked downstairs, I guess he's here. Well time to go make not just the biggest mistake of my life, but to also make a fool of myself.
"Norah you got this" I kept saying that to myself as I walked down to join my parents and the guests.
"Good evening ma" I greeted squatting, like the Hausa girl that I am.
