ABOUT THE BOOK: NADAMA

Nadama is a Hausa drama whose theme is derived from the name of the book itself, ‘regret’. Its theme is premised on creating awareness on Cervical Cancer and Vesico-Virginal Fistula (VVF). The story is a tragedy, twisted around unfortunate incidences of public concern, healthcare, love, honor, and consequences of irrationality.

The contents on VVF and Cervical Cancer are facts collated from research and interface with experts in the field. This approach places Nadama on the vantage of passing on a vital message while captivating the reader through entertainment (edutainment).

The choice of Hausa language as the medium of conveying this message is due to the low level of cervical cancer awareness among the Hausa-speaking community especially among those who dwell in the rural areas of Northern Nigeria. Many men and women from the target audience are not aware that cervical cancer is preventive.

Most are ignorant of the options available for the treatment of both cancer and the VVF for those unfortunately affected. This concern thus calls for continuous enlightenment campaigns through various forms of communication to apprise our people of this deadly disease and that it is preventable.

The book also illuminates the importance of community networking in confronting health challenges suffered by the vulnerable.  

The intention of the writer is to send this message down to the grassroots level through the production of this drama as a first step. It will be followed by the production of an audiobook and ultimately production of a home video in the popular Hausa movie industry.

The latter two productions are particularly for the benefit of none literate Hausa speakers through entertainment. It is hoped that the book will be included in the curriculum of secondary and tertiary institutions to create this awareness from the teen ages upwards.

Besides, it also contains rich Hausa culture in the form of proverbs, wise sayings, family culture and relationships worthy of being studied in our schools. It is also within our radar that an English translation may follow depending on its acceptability and popular demand.

Your contribution towards the success of this book is a contribution towards saving the lives of women in our Hausa-speaking communities through educating them on the ills of cervical cancer, its preventive methods, and survival options. With the advancement of modern medicine, we should come together to reduce the number of annual mortality rate from this avoidable disease.

The contribution you make towards spreading this message may save one soul from suffering an excruciating death out of ignorance. We all have a role to play in passing down the message to our mothers, aunties, sisters, wives, and daughters.

Lawyer Dele Farotimi Granted N30 Million Bail Amid Defamation Trial

An Ado-Ekiti Magistrates’ Court in Ekiti State has granted a N30 million bail to embattled lawyer and human rights activist, Dele Farotimi.

Delivering the ruling on Friday, Magistrate Abayomi Adeosun approved the bail request under strict conditions. Farotimi is required to provide two responsible sureties, surrender his international passport, and refrain from granting media interviews while the case is ongoing.

In a surprising development, Magistrate Adeosun barred Farotimi’s lead counsel, Olumide Fusika, SAN, from appearing before the court, citing Section 9 of the Magistrates’ Courts Law of 2014 as the basis for the decision.

Farotimi has pleaded not guilty to the defamation charge, which stems from allegations made by elder statesman and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Afe Babalola. The activist was arraigned following a petition accusing him of criminal defamation in his recently published book.

This is not the only legal battle Farotimi faces. On December 9, the Federal High Court in Ekiti granted him N50 million bail in a separate case involving a 12-count charge of cybercrime, filed by the Inspector-General of Police.

Farotimi’s trial, currently unfolding in two courts, underscores the high-stakes legal drama surrounding the prominent activist and author.
