1. Nimekua ghafla. I am no longer wild. I wouldnt dream of ever smoking marijuana. God forbid.
2.I am careful with my spending- I do not spend lavishly anymore. I want the very best for my little man. What I save now could be his ticket to the best school of his time, and medical plan too.
3.I am taking very good care of myself- I wanna be fit. Exercise plan coming up in the near future.
4. I notice children, and mothers more. I am sensitive to their presence and needs. Each child on the street could be mine. I constantly wonder who to donate to some of my baby's toys and clothes he no longer wears.
5.Time that was spent in bars is now spent rolling on the floor wrestling with my little man
6.I have become religious. Each morning I leave for work I entrust my son to the Almighty to watch over him and all the little ones under the sun.
7.I do not curse anymore even though some phrases don't sound right without the F* word.
8. I am more social. Kawaida I am a loner, I liketo keep to myself and mind my goddamn business. Not so much these days.
9. I want to be called Mama Fulani. I insist on it. They say my son's name is beautiful but difficult to remember but I do not get tired of teaching people to call me mama fulani. Sometimes I pretend not to hear ili waniite tena na tena. Mama Fulaniiiiii. Beeeeeeeee. Nakujaaaaaaaaaa.
10. I now appreciate women. Knowing now what I did not know about the woes of the labour room. Kudaadeki.
Bravo to all Mothers under the sun
