‘I’ve always aspired to lead ’
interview by MULIKATU MUKAILA
M
rs. Omoayena DuroBello has earned herself various trophies of hard work in the course of her career. After working in several units at the Bayero University Kano for a decade, she decided to change base and so moved to the newly established Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, where she is currently serving as the Deputy Registrar as well as the Academic Secretary. In this interview with Tambari Magazine, she speaks about her journey so far and many more.
Background I hail from Agenebode town in Etsako East Local Government area of Edo State, but by marriage, I am a full-fledged Kabba woman because I was married to the late Dr. Joseph Duro-Bello from Gbeleko in Kabba, Kogi State. I was born into the family of Late Simon and Agnes Iwago from Agenebode in Edo State, but they were basically Kano indigenes because they lived in Kano State all their lives - from the year 1954 till when the lord called them. Educational background I started my primary education in Lagos State because when I was born, I was taken, as a baby,to Lagos to live with my grandmother, so I started my primary school at Aunty Ayo Primary School Ikoyi from 1962 to 1970 after which I proceeded to St. Mary’s Grammar School Eme-Ora in Edo State and I was there from 1970 to 1974. I returned to Lagos for my Higher School Cert. (HSC) at the Methodist Girls’ High School Yaba where I spent two years and in 1976, I moved to Kano State and started my higher education at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, but our campus was in Kano State, at that time, it was called ABC; Abdullahi Bayero College and it was affiliated to ABU Zaria. I studied Sociology after which I went for my youth service in Minna, Niger State, where I worked in the Social Welfare Unit and to God be the glory, I did other extra activities by teaching children extra lessons, buying them exercise books, which earned me a National Award by the then Shagari government. After my youth service, I moved back to Kano State and from that time until 2012, I worked with the Bayero University Kano (BUK).

ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP I HAVE WITH THEM AS A MOTHER IS THAT ON THE 31ST DECEMBER OF EVERY YEAR, BEFORE WE GO FOR MIDNIGHT PRAYERS, I WOULD CALL THEM ONE BY ONE AND TELL THEM WHAT I EXPECT FROM THEM THE NEXT YEAR, WHERE THEY WENT WRONG DURING THE YEAR AFTER WHICH I WOULD ALSO GIVE THEM THE ROOM TO TELL ME WHAT THEY DON’T LIKE ABOUT ME AND IT HAS HELPED ME OVER THE YEARS.
Career background At the time I finished my youth service, Nigeria was still easy going, jobs were there waiting for you. I applied in different offices, even a bank but I didn’t want to work in a bank because I was going to marry a medical doctor and I didn’t like the idea of staying away from home, so I went to my old school BUK (it had become a full-fledged university) and applied. I started working in the school on 13th April 1981 as an Admin officer and from that time till date, I have been working in the university, but the greater part of my life was spent in Bayero University because I worked in several units such as Information and publication, and then I happen to be the first faculty officer of Science department from 1981 -1987. I also worked in the Establishment Unit which is now called Human Resources Unit, from there I was moved to the Academic Office and I became the University Exam Officer from 1991- 1999. I was transferred to staff training and my responsibility then was to train non-teaching staff and I was there from 2003-2012 and within this period, I had another posting while working as the staff training officer for the university. I was given the task of being the Secretary for the University Management Meetings which held every Monday and I worked with the immediate past INEC Chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega. I was his secretary for the four years he was VC before his appointment to INEC. Then on 6th July 2012, I moved to Lokoja to work at the new Federal University as the Deputy Registrar and also the University Academic Secretary. All my life, I have had to work with young people and it has been lovely working in the university. Challenges The down turn for me at that time was when I had to sign letters of expulsion as the University Exam Officer for students who were involved in malpractices and this really touched me because these were young children whose parents had so much hope in and they are being sent away. Another aspect that made me so uncomfortable was when we had to send students away who for one reason or the other chose to come into the institution with forged entry qualification and in some cases, some of these students were innocent because their parents forged the results for them without their knowledge. I came across several cases and their stories really touched me. Another down turn is when I see young people with good results who are not given admission because there is no room for them, and again, since I moved to Lokoja, I have seen a lot of very poor students, financially, who cannot cope and this to me is something touching, but I love working in the university.
Aspirations As a young child, I have always aspired to lead and somehow throughout my primary school, I was the class monitor, I was also the head girl while in secondary school and I have always aspired everywhere I go to be able to lead. I have always wanted to become a teacher, not in the class room but to lead people. That has always been my dream. Fond memories As a child, I lived with my grandmother and she taught me my first lessons in religious tolerance. She was a Muslim and my parents were Catholics but she ensured that I don’t miss the morning mass every morning because there was a Catholic church very close to where she lived, and she will not allow me to go with her own children to the Islamic lessons (Karatu) because she promised my parents that I would remain a Catholic. And then another thing she taught me was entrepreneur skills; she was noted for making pap (Akamu) so she taught me how to process corn from raw corn to pap. We were about 10 children, including her own, her nephews and nieces and I was the only grandchild in the house, but she never treated us differently. Everybody had a bag of corn and once it finishes, you will be given another huge bag and she will tell you to go and make your akamu, which you will process and sell. She knows how much money each bag will give, so she encouraged us in that line. One other thing I can never forget is that we all eat together from one bowl but these days, we hardly see such things. Motherhood experience I lost my husband in 2002 after being married for 21 years, but for this period, I have enjoyed motherhood because of what I had in my youthful days. My grandmother was there for me, so I made up my mind that I will also be there for my children. They are all boys and I had them in two years interval except the last who came after eight years. While they were still kids, when any of them takes something I didn’t give to them, I would lock them in their room to sort themselves out, and then I would go to my room and pray to God to touch their hearts and remove any bad traits in them. The amazing thing was that whenever I go down on my knees to pray to God about my children, before you know it they will come back to me with the truth. Another relationship I have with them as a mother is that on the 31st December of every year, before we go for midnight prayers, I would call them one by one and tell them what I expect from them the next year, where they went wrong during
the year after which I would also give them the room to tell me what they don’t like about me and it has helped me over the years. Now that they are men, it is so easy to talk to me and that has really helped us all. I have always dedicated them to God almighty. How I met my husband My parents were in Kano and I was in Lagos, so during my A levels, his parents moved into our compound and that brought us close, so when we got talking, we just discovered that we had so much to talk about. After the holiday, I went back to Methodist Girls High School and told my friends that I met someone during the holidays but he was in ABU Zaria. They discouraged me because of the distance between us and I started losing interest in him so much that whenever he writes, I would just hand it over to a friend to read. It was Funmilayo my friend who would read the letter aloud and then give it back to me but at a point she called me aside and advised me to give the friendship a trial and when I went back to Kano, we became very close and finally got married. Most precious gift from him I think to me the most precious gift from him was the beautiful relationship we had for the 21 years we were together and I must say, till today, I still keep the Ebira native fabric that we had as our cover cloth and I still use it. And seeing my children, I see him in them. Somehow we don’t talk about him in the past instead we recognize him in the present and because of our relationship, when he died, I made sure that my children go home every Christmas and that has helped them to unit with all their friends and family, so knowing Duro has made me a Kabba woman and if I have to come back again, I would still be married to him. Role Models My mother is my role model because I didn’t get to know her until I was 12 years old. I had always thought that my grandmother was my mother, but when I was in secondary school, I had to move back briefly and after my university education before I got married, we got so close because she gave her all for her children. We were four in number, and I wanted to be like my mother because she would spend her last kobo to make sure that your education and other needs are met. And then her commitment to Church and her God, she wouldn’t talk to anyone in the morning until she had said her prayers and she never goes late to Church. Professionally, I would say my former Registrar Mal. Y.A Ibrahim, he was a very strict person, we feared him, he didn’t have a human face when it comes to his work but in doing the core admin TAMBARI JANUARY 24, 2016

work, he would put you on your toes. I always aspired to be Y. A Ibrahim, not in his character but his attitude to work. Also Prof. Attahiru Jega. He is a straight faced person but behind that straight face, he is kind to a fault. In 2004, when there was a religious crisis in Bayero University, everything I and my husband ever worked for were burnt to ashes. Mal. Jega was among the few that saw the need to give a helping hand. Maybe he wouldn’t remember by now but he enveloped some substantial amount of money and gave me and my children and said, “Madam, this is for you. Your house was burnt and you lost all that you have but you would need this,” and that really touched me. He is very kind irrespective of his strictness and I like his style of administration but most importantly, he met me and my children at our point of need and gave us a helping hand. I have never stopped praying for him. Advice from mum that has stuck with me My mother told me never to take somebody else’s property because if you steal from someone, it will attract a big punishment and if you also steal from a community, when you are leaving that town, you would pack your things in a match box. This means that whatever you acquire through that means, you will lose all. That has kept me going; I try as much as possible not to take what doesn’t belong to me. Three fashion accessories I always have on I am not a very fashionable person but would always have my wristwatch, my earrings and my necklace on me. Style definition I love to dress in a very neat way without exposing my body. I see that a lot these days, even among older women, which is very bad. Women should be well covered to sustain their beauty. I also love to dress for the occasion. Beauty routine I don’t really have any but I watch what I eat, I love to eat a lot of raw foods and it has helped me a lot. I also exercise every day, I am not a makeup person but one thing that I can never go out without is my lipstick, even when I was in the University, the day I forget to wear my lipstick, I would get out of the lecture hall and go back to wear my lipstick and then return. Favourite fashion designer Vintage fashion - Mabel Oduma, she is based in Kano and she has been my fashion designer since 1984 and until I moved to Lokoja she has been my fashion designer.
create a fun Ville for ourselves. We have always been an indoor people, except in the past when my husband would take us to the park to relax. I relax with my family by telling them stories about who I am and what I would want them to do for me and what I would want them to be in life. Favourite holiday destination I travel out occasionally but one place I would love to visit again is Rome because as a Catholic, that is a place I would love to be. Favourite author I love to read my bible. I just turned 60 years this January, and since I turned 51, I have always given out bibles to children. At 51, I gave out 51 bibles because I love children to always read the word of God and I encourage everyone who is a Christian to always read the bible. Whatever you are doing, make sure you spend 24 minutes out of the 24 hours a day to read the bible. So, when I turned 60 years old, I distributed 600 bibles to children because I want the word of God to spread widely. Though I read a lot, my favourite book is the bible. I also belong to a book club; we interact online, where you read a book and send your reviews online. I love authors like Gbile Akanni and Kenneth
HONESTLY, A CAREER WITHOUT A HOME WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN THE SENSE THAT YOUR CHILD WOULD BARELY KNOW YOU.
Hagin. Advice to women I want to make a passionate appeal especially to the younger women,to try and always be there for their children. It will affect your career in a very little way, but I want women to get jobs that wouldn’t keep them out of their homes by 6pm every day. Whatever kind of job you do, make sure you are home at 6pm because children don’t go to bed at that time. At least this will enable you check their home works. I did that for all my children, I also made sure I knew all their teachers. The men can stay out as much as they like, they are the bread winners, but whatever you are doing as a woman, make sure you are home in time, which is why I don’t subscribe to women working in Nigerian banks. It is getting worse these days. Honestly, a career without a home will come back to you in the sense that your child would barely know you. I was there for my children and it didn’t stop me from enjoying my career. Legacies I want to be known as that woman who loved God and is willing to tell anybody about God not only by word of mouth, but by the way I relate with them. I want to be known as that woman who does not like telling lies - I love honesty, I also want to be known as someone who loved the poor because as I speak with you, I belong to Lumen Christian Education Trust Fund, it was founded by Rev. Father John Ogunleye in Kogi State, in 2013 and the only thing we do is to help train young people, those who cannot afford education in tertiary, secondary and primary school levels and to God’s glory, when I turned 60 last week, I sent out letters of invitations, indicating that I don’t want any gift, whatever you think I deserve, even if it is a kobo, pay it into Lumen Christian account so that we would be able to train more. In my home in Kano, I had a lot of students living with me irrespective of where they come from or religion. Even in my house now, I have praying mat and kettle in case a visitor happens to visit and wants to pray. I picked that from my grandmother. So, these are things I want to leave for my children to love the very poor and that is why I don’t keep much cloths, I give them out. I want to teach my children never to let anybody in need leave their sight without them helping such one.
Favourite colours I really love bright colours like red and yellow. Favourite day of the week My favourite day of the week is Mondays. I know it may be strange to people but on Mondays, I am always very agile and ready for work and I love to work and that has earned me some knocks from friends and colleagues. Mode of relaxation I relax by reading books. I read Christian books mostly. I also relax with my family, we relax at home because we would

uxury women wear brand, Merci Me London owned by Ugandan born designer Mercy Ogole has released her Spring Summer 2016 collection tagged ‘Tribe’. Sharing the idea behind the collection, Mary stated: “TRIBE” is a collection taking inspiration from the rudimental element of tribes and the idea of nomadism - movement and ease of doing so through clothing. This collection is not about fixing clothes in a set way but rather creating fluidity and flexibility for freedom and expression.” She said. She also said for this collection, she had not used any zips, buttons or other fastenings, instead everything is slipped on, tied with itself and or with laces/cord.”
Tribal Spirit! Kendall Jenner Unveiled At the New Face of Mango Mango has requited one of the top faces in the modeling world at the moment - Kendall Jenner for its spring 2016 campaign. Kendall who joins likes of Care Delevingne, Kate Moss and Miranda Kerr as a face of Mango, will star in the brand’s ‘Tribal Spirit’ advertisement. Mango has also revealed that it will unveil a different ad campaign each month focusing on one unique trend.Speaking on this development, Kendal said: “I am delighted to have been chosen to present the Tribal Spirit part of the collection. I love wearing the designs, fabrics and shapes
- they really speak of the allure of nature, which I know this collection was inspired by. The shots we created on set reflect the natural undertones of the collection while showing really beautiful, striking pieces! It was a great shoot and working with the entire Mango team was an amazing experience!” However, Mango’s latest announcement has generated mixed reactions especially because the campaign Kendall is fronting, is centered on the “tribal spirit” of the African Savannah, therefore, a person of colour would have been a preferable choice.

ABDOMINAL PAINS DURING MENSES I do observe a painful abdominal pains during my menses and I am not married yet. I have gone to the hospital several times but it still a problem. Please doctor what should I do? Zarat, Katsina I have a girl I want to marry, she is twenty three years old. her menses comes with serious waist pains. Please guide us on what to do. Suleiman, Benue state This is a common problem and as I have said before it is called primary dysmenorrhea. What they need to do is to take pain killers or analgesics to relieve the pains. This will be sufficient in most cases. What is observed is that after first pregnancy and delivery, this symptoms abates in most cases.

It is not unusual for one breast to be bigger than the other but usually it is not easily noticeable.. Has it been examined to ensure no mass in the bigger breast? Are you sure the “obvious” differences is not psychological. I will suggest you see a surgeon or Gynaecologist for proper assessment. The difference in size does not require any action usually
STAINS ON MY UNDIES I used to have stains on my undies, whitish substance comes out from my private part. Is it infection? Sanni Any associated pains when you pass urine? In case of women, vaginal candidiasis would have been likely, but as a man you are right, infection is likely. You will need to do urethral swab and midstream urine for microscopy, culture and sensitivity. After this appropriate antibiotics can be prescribed. Remember that your spouse must also be treated too.
NO MENSTRUATION AT TWENTY I am twenty years old but I have never seen my period. My mum has taken me to several hospitals yet no menses. The last I did was laparoscopy and the doctor said there is nothing they can do. What do I do? Ngozi, Jos. This is a case of primary amenorrhea. Do you have normal female physique? Are you of normal height? Is the breast development normal? Most likely there is a congenital anomaly or premature ovarian failure. One of the causes could be Turner’s
syndrome. Also anatomical anomaly could also account for this. Have you been given combined oral contraceptives pills to see if you will menstruate? Those with normal uterus will menstruate
with oral contraceptives pills. One thing is sure the possibility of delivery is there using invitro fertilization with egg donor.

Dalla hill: Host to the first inhabitants of Kano by PRISCA EMADU
D
alla hill, which is also spelt dala, is located in Kano State. The hill is 1,753 feet high and has nine hundred and ninety nine footsteps. It is known to be the first place of settlement for the people of Kano and used to be a deep forest. The name Dala can be traced back to a hunter who frequented the hill in the quest to source for raw materials for his craftsmanship, his prominence with the hill gave the hill the name it bears till date. There are many myths surrounding the hill, some of which have been regarded by settlers as spiritual and superstitious. One of the stories about the hill is that only the then chief priest called Barbushe was the only one worthy enough to climb the hill. It was also said that Dala natives were not allowed to go up the hill as they please, unless on a certain time of the day. Even for a visitor to go up the hill, he has to take permission from one of the custodians before climbing the hill. Aside the fact that the first inhabitants of Dala hill used the tourist site as a worship ground, there is the story of a well with its depth unknown, which wasn’t built by anyone and doesn’t get

Perfume: This is a must buy for a shopaholic. It is created to provide a pleasant smell and helps boost a ladies confidence.
Jewelry: This is a perfect way to bring life to an outfit. A lady can spend her last cash just to look great in her jewelry because it draws attention to oneself. A phone case can fall in this category.
Hand bag: A ladies fashion sense is incomplete without a handbag. A shopaholic should always buy it and also have it.

African prints: As a Nigerian shopaholic, the Ankara wrapper is something you should buy. It is an essential piece for any ladies wardrobe.
Shoes: This is one fashion accessory a shopaholic always buys. It defines style and gives you the fascinating look whenever you wear them.

FINE COOKING
with
BIRIYANI
‘’I Cannot Make Everyone Happy, I Am Not Biriyani’’ – Unknown. It goes without saying that happiness comes with a home cooked Biriyani. Here at Wakkis, we consider this home so during preparation each process is done with so much love. Some may refer to it as an over-dose of happiness. “Birinj”, in Persian means rice and “Biryan” or “Beriyan” means to fry or roast. This already gives you an idea of what to expect. At Wakkis, you have a choice of vegetable, lamb or chicken which can either be enjoyed on its own or almost always accompanied with something grilled from the clay oven. We can’t teach you how to enjoy your food but we can give you ‘......a fine dining experience!’ – Wakkis Motto.
INGREDIENTS BASMAT RICE: BASMATI If you have ever sat down to think where each grain of rice comes of whe from – that is the careful selection of sseed quality, land preparation for planting, planting and nutrient management, and nu harvesting you would probably h take time to appreciate your ta next rice dish. Did you know n that depending on the variety, th a rice crop usually reaches maturity at around 105–150 m days after crop establishment? day The major difference between normal Nigerian grain rice and norm basmati is the shape and processing. basma consider basmati to be a Some people pe alternative as this is often easier healthier al and quicker to digest – and looks pretty too!
VEGETABLES: The variety of vegetables used might just be giving out too much information but the reason why this dish is often associated with happiness could be because of how colourful it becomes. The famous cauliflower is added and we already know this cruciferous vegetable that contains vitamins B1-9, omega – 3 fatty acids, vitamin K and C. Another vegetable added include green peas which is rich in lutein and vitamin A which help protect the eyes. Other vegetables include carrots and green beans. ‘Good things come to those who wait’ – In this case good things come to those who order. The next time you want to enjoy a meal, a calm ambience and good music, all you need to do is make to our door and we promise to do the rest... because at Wakkis everything is prepared -’.....just the way you like it.’’

B E AU T Y Making your eyes with the right eye shadow
POP by PRISCA EMADU
W
hen making up, especially the eye area, the goal for almost everybody is to make the eye pop. Everyone has their different colour of eye, hence not everyone would use the same colour of eye
shadow.
According to Joy Emecho, a makeup artist, “The eye colours we have are brown, blue, green and hazel, but the eye type common in Nigeria is brown and hazel.
