Zainab Bayero, Late Emir Of Kano’s Daughter, Cries Out Over Homelessness in Lagos

Zainab Bayero, daughter of the late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, has raised the alarm about her family’s dire situation in Lagos, claiming they are stranded and without shelter.

In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Zainab revealed that she, her mother, and her younger brother have been struggling to make ends meet since her father’s passing in 2014.

The visibly distressed Zainab, speaking in a video less than five minutes long, said her family had nowhere to stay, adding that they were stranded in the Eko Hotel area of Lagos at 1 am.

She said, “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. That is fine but at least I deserve to feel safe, protected.

“My father left me with nothing — no education and home. 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, and a girl who had so many dreams.

“I’m a woman with nothing — no job, degree, home. I’m lost and stranded, no one to turn to, no family.

“The burden is too much on me. My mum and my junior brother depend on me. I don’t have any means to keep providing for them. That is why I ran away.”

She further expressed her frustration, stating that she had reached out to influential figures, but received no meaningful assistance.

She added, “I’ve spoken out in the media, I’ve pleaded with the president, the governor, the current Emir Sanusi, and their fathers.

“I’ve pleaded to care for 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.”
