AISHA JIBRIL DUKKU Positive, promising and humble interview by PRISCA EMADU

A

ishatu Jibril Dukku is a member of the House of Representatives. She represents Dukku/Nafada federal constituency of Gom mbe State. The princess of Dukku, who is also the Jakadiyar Das ta Farko, the first in Bauchi, a title she earned for empowering women thro ough her non-governmental organisation, she spoke on her childhood aspirations, career and d other interesting matters.

Educational background I attended Central Primary School, Gombe and went to the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bauchi. After secondary school, I attended Bayero University, Kano, where I graduated with a degree in Education and English.

Career After graduation, I took up an appointment with the Bauchi State government as an English teacher in 1987. I was in the education sector until 2007. While I was teaching, I rose through the ranks to become a vice principal, principal and federal inspector before I became a minister from Gombe State in 2007. I was a minister until the death of the late President Umar Musa Yar’ Adua. I served as Minister of State for Education. After that, I continued in active politics.

This year (2015), my people asked me to represent them in the National Assembly; and here I am, representing my constituency.

Growing up Growing up was fun. I grew up in an extended family but with a good educational background. My father has been very much interested in education, and my mother is from a very strong Islamic background. She is from a family of Islamic teachers.

It was a humble beginning and life with our siblings. Because of our educational background, our upbringing was different. Our father paid so much attention to our education, both Islamic and western. Many girls at that time did not have such opportunity,

04

TAMBARI NOVEMBER 8, 8 , 2015 20 2 0 115 5

so we were privileged to be in school.

There was a lot of emphasis on our homework and comportment. It was really fun. And that’s the background that made us what we are today.

Challenges Being among the few girls that went to school was one challenge we didn’t understand. We always asked ourselves why our mates were not in school. Many of them who even attempted to go to school got married in primary six. And we couldn’t understand why because we were really enjoying school and had support from our parents. That wasn’t a problem for us to solve, but we were amazed at why our peers were not in school as we were. That was a question we couldn’t ask anybody.

Challenges really start coming when you assume duty and start working.

When I started teaching, a lot of the students didn’t have the intellectual ability to pass. Also, as a young graduate I was confronted with a population of final-year boys, who the principal asked me to teach. I became concerned because I had a small stature. I asked myself how I was going to take such big boys; and I thought I couldn’t do it. When I got home, I told my husband, and the first thing he told me was: “You can do it.’’ I told him I was not afraid of the subject but the boys who were very big. He advised that when I got to the class, I should forget that they were boys or bigger than me, but stick to what I had been taught. My husband supported me.

When I got to the class, I started by asking them simple questions in

AISHA JIBRIL DUKKU // English Language. They could not answer. That took me aback for a while, but I realised that they may not have been taught. And you cannot give what you have not been given. So I sat them down and started counselling them, telling them that, with their attitude, they wouldn’t be able to pass English. I made them understand that they needed credit in English and Mathematics to be given admission to the university. I made them realise that they needed to wake up, especially as men who were expected to be responsible for their families later in life.

I took a month counselling them, after which they started cooperating with me. We organised extra lessons to help them know about the simple reasons and rules of passing examinations. At the end of the day, only about 26 of them got credits.

This was discouraging, but the principal was very happy, saying I had done well as such result had not been gotten before I came. So I was celebrated for what I did. This encouraged me to do more.

Those were among the first challenges I faced before I went into administration.

The major challenge came from politics. As Muslims, it was believed that women were not supposed to get close to politics. Politics was seen as strictly men’s affairs. And I am a Muslim and Fulani woman going into politics. When my people decided that they wanted me to contest, I kept asking myself if I would make it.

Since they said I should come out and contest, I said I was ready to serve them at any capacity. So I contested. For them, it was something strange because it had never happened. To them, I was eminently qualified, but the limitation was that I am a woman. But I made them realise that it was about positive representation, not gender. I made them understand that voting for the right people would bring development. And we made it.

Part of my guidelines as a teacher is to carry my students along. So when I got this position I said I would carry my people along.

Role of women in the society Their first role is the one given by the Almighty Allah. Women are the first teachers. We have the right to change the society the way we want. God has given us that, which is our first duty. The second duty is to make sure that the society is living in peace. It is key and very important because without peace, nothing can be achieved. This can be done through counseling. An example is a girl who wears a bomb. She has siblings, a mother and a father. So she is coming from a family, and it is the first duty of the mother to give guidance because we are the closest to our family. Even if a man doesn’t have a wife, he has a mother; so mothers are expected to play important roles on their children. If a mother does not play such roles, she has failed somewhere. Even if it is not her fault directly, she is seen to have failed in her duties and the society will be affected. The society starts with the family, and that’s the only way we can correct all the ills in the society.

Aspirations as a child Actually, I wanted to become a teacher, right from childhood. My father was a principal, so I met so many of his students when I was in primary school.

They always told me that my dad was the best principal. That made me want to be like my dad. I always said I would be a principal. I also met people who said my father was a good English teacher who spoke like a Briton. All these made me say I would to be like my dad.

My dad told me that as a young girl I had to return to the grassroots so I could be a role model to young girls from my own community. I am happy today that many of the girls took me as a role model. Till date, I still have young girls I mentor on what is good. I tell them that even if they are not going to work, they should go to school because at least they will help their children with their homework when they come back from school. I

CO V E R I N T E R V I E W

WOMEN ARE THE FIRST TEACHERS. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE SOCIETY THE WAY WE WANT. GOD HAS GIVEN US THAT, WHICH IS OUR FIRST DUTY. THE SECOND DUTY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SOCIETY IS LIVING IN PEACE. remember that my father would say that if there is anybody who should go to school, it is the girl. He would say that Allah had made us weaker than the men; so we need protection. But you need to help yourself because heaven helps those who help themselves.

Childhood memories I enjoyed primary school because it

was a local authority school where we were equals, be it the rich or poor. There was no segregation.

Unfortunately, the early schools are neglected. I remember that we were passing one day when I was a principal and I showed my daughter the primary school I attended. I didn’t know that it made her think until we got home and she asked: “was that the deplorable and rejected school you went to, yet you are a principal?’’

I told her that the school was better than it is today. I made her realise that in my days, it was the best school. She asked why I left the school like that. I told her that I was not responsible for that; the government is. And she said I should tell the government to repair that school.

That argument made me sad. I knew the government was responsible, but I am also responsible because it is my alma-mata and a school that gave me my foundation.

We could speak good English in school because we had good teachers and a principal. We had inspectors who were always in the school. And during holidays, the emir would come during our speech and prize giving day. Those were very good memories. Today, parents are too busy to go to the school of their children. The authorities are not there, and that is why the schools are neglected.

Life’s philosophy I am guided by the saying of the holy Prophet Mohammad (SAW): “None of you is a believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself.” There is a similar quote in Christianity which says, “Do unto others as you wish others to do unto you.” It is more than that in Islam. In Islam, it is questioning your faith. It means, what you do not like, don’t do it to others. I believe in this because if I don’t want to be abused, I won’t abuse

my sister or brother.

I have tried to keep to this philosophy, by Allah’s grace.

My second philosophy is part of the first hadith, which is: “Actions are judged according to intentions.” I believe in always having a good intention towards anything in life. That has guided me to see things from other perspectives.

Life’s lessons I have learnt my lessons from dealing with human beings. I also learnt a lot from my experience and upbringing in an extended family. In my working experiences as a vice principal, principal and other positions, I have learnt a lot and seen different attitudes, both negative and positive. That has made me to forge ahead and give myself rules. One of my rules is to be focused in whatever I am doing. If you are not focused, a lot of distractions will come your way and stop you from achieving your goals.

Balancing home and career For women, it is not an easy task to keep the home front and succeed in career. Many have failed. It is either they leave the job or quit the marriage. But

by Allah’s grace I have been doing it. I become very sad when a man I asked what his wife does and he says she does nothing; she is just a housewife. I feel TAMBARI NOVEMBER 8, 2015

05

CO V E R I N T E R V I E W // AISHA JIBRIL DUKKU sad at that response because being a housewife is a very big job. You are doing everything at the same time. You are a teacher, doctor, nurse, maid and a security woman. God bless our housewives for doing wonderful multi-tasking jobs.

I have been able to succeed as a wife because I have the full support of my husband. He is simple and humble despite all his own challenges.

I remember someone who came to my office while I was a principal and asked why I was working. “Is it that your husband can’t feed you?’’ he asked. I felt very angry but controlled my temper because he insulted my husband. My husband is not myopic; he knows what I can do and what I can contribute to the society. That is why he supported me throughout my education, and now, my career. He knows that I have a role to play, which is contributing to young girls who will see me as a role model in the society.

My pillar is my husband, who has supported me. He helped me to go to school because I married immediately after my secondary school education. During my formative years, I was with my husband.

Best gift ever The best gift I ever received is from my husband is his support, which is the best thing any woman can have. I tell men when I have the opportunity that their wives are not their enemies but support to them, which should be reciprocal.

Men are the guide which God has entrusted us too. They can make or mare us. This is because if a woman fails as a wife, it cannot be all her fault; it takes two to tangle.

We can never be above men. A verse in the Holy Qu’ran talks about women’s role. The message which was given to us will forever remain.

We know our limits as women. We know that our men are above us and are our pillars. So we need their support and understanding in whatever we do.

Relaxation mode I relax in the evening with my grandchildren. I also read a lot with my friends. Despite our busy schedules we find time to come together. I read books about women, especially Islamic books.

Best travel destination Because of my family background, which is a thorough Islamic one, the best place I love to visit is Mecca, either for umrah or hajj.

Best food I love semovita and miyankuka. I also like our local food, furan da nono and zogale.

Style definition I like wrapper, blouse with head-tie and lapaya.

Advice that stuck My mum is straightforward. No matter how bitter the truth is, she says it as it is. She says honesty is the best policy; if you are honest you will always be straight- forward. This has always been with me and I impact it in my children.

That is why they say I don’t have part two. I am always on part one. Sometimes, being straightforward has its negative sides. People don’t like those who are straight- forward, but I can’t change myself because I hate cutting sides to get to where I want to get to. Being straightforward is easier and less heavy. It gives you peace of mind.

Awards The latest from Dukku is a meritorious award in recognition of my thorough accomplishment and exemplary dedication to the development of Dukku community. Other awards I received are from the Arewa Journalists Forum, an award of excellence in recognition of my contribution to the socio-economic development of the

06

TAMBARI NOVEMBER 8, 2015

Nigerian youth, women empowerment and service to humanity, and an award from Gombe State in recognition of my contribution to the empowerment of the youth and women in the state, etc.

Favourite colour I love green because it is the most mentioned in the Qu’ran about paradise. Green means life, prosperity, and it is lovely to the eyes. I love green, and I am so conscious of it that I may buy something twice because it is green.

Favourite car I don’t have a favourite car. I just like anything that can move and take me to the next destination. I don’t know the names of cars, but the one I like is Toyota because they are durable and easy to maintain.

Favourite sport I am not really into sports, but I exercise. I take walks and go on the tread mill.

Beauty secret Contentment; and I try to eat simple food and stay away from oily foods.

I perform ablution five times a day, so I wash my face often and take my bath. I don’t have any special product. As long as it is not harmful, I use it.

Legacies I want to be remembered emembered as a woman who helped a lot of young girls and boys to achieve their goals in life.

Role models My role model el is the wife of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAW), called Aisha. She is my role model because she iss well learned and the favourite wife of the Holy Prophet, and she taught the religion. She even led the hajj. I have read a lot ot about her.

Favourite dayy of the week My favourite day of the week is Fridayy because it is a special day and a time of fellowship when hen Muslims come together er to pray.

Advice to women omen Women should ld be focused. Theree is a lot of burden on them, em, both from the home me front, the society in general neral and in career. So if theyy are not focused it means they will fail. The present state of the society ociety needs women. As mothers others we should love ve everybody and d see things positively ely so that we can n right the ills of the society.

MY HUSBAND IS NOT MYOPIC; HE KNOWS WHAT I CAN DO AND WHAT I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIETY. THAT IS WHY HE SUPPORTED ME THROUGHOUT MY EDUCATION, AND NOW, MY CAREER.

CONTINUOUS DISCHARGE My wife has been having discharge for almost a month now. She also feels abdominal cramps. What do we do?

Yusuf, Katsina

I

s the discharge heavy? What is the colour?

Is it foul smelling or not? Most likely she is having a pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). She will need to do swab test for microscopy, culture and sensitivity. Based on this antibiotics can be prescribed. It is important you take whatever medication is being prescribed to your wife even though you may not have any symptoms.

IRREGULAR PERIODS I usually have irregular and sometimes missedperiods for a month of two. Can you prescribe some medication for me even though I have seen for last month?

H

ow old are you? And for how long has this irregular menses been going on?

Depending on your age, for example if you are young or started your menses recently there is no need to worry with time it will regularise itself.For some after proper examination and other factors, combined oral contraceptive will help to regularise the menses.For you since you have seen the menses last month there is no need to take drug for now.

DOES TRAMADOL HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS? I am a 23year old male,please sir is there any side effect of taking tramadol hydrochloride tablet? I take it without any illness thank you, ThankGod, Adamawa.

T

ramadol is an opiod drug for pain relief. It is used for relief of moderate to severe pains. It can be given orally, intramuscularly or intravenously. Side effects include nausea, constipation and it is an addictive drug.

Generally it is not advisable to take medication without prescription more so without any reason.

Apart from problem of addiction, regular taking of the drug will create a state of tolerance. In which case when you need it a higher dose may be required for it to be effective or your body system may not respond to the drug. I will advise you to stop because it is an opiod and addiction is a possibility.

NO PAIN OR PLEASURE After five years of intimate acts with my spouse, I can barely say if I feel pleasure or pain. This is not to say I don’t get aroused, because I get wet but feel nothing during the act. Is there a solution or medication to this problem? Lami, Minna.

W

ell it is more of psychological problem than physical.

You need to prepare yourself psychological before an intimate act and also discuss with your spouse. He must be carried along and be able to discover your sensitive parts.

BOIL ON THE EYELID I have boil on my eyelid, what do I use for it please. Zainab, Kano.

What you are describing is stye otherwise called hordeolum or chalazion. Stye is usually a lump on the eyelid. It may be painful. If it is infective causative organism is bacteria mainly staphylococcousaureus. Chalazion is a differential diagnosis of stye but this is not

an infection but a blockage of tiny eyelid gland.

Conservative management with warm compress alone will resolve most cases.

Avoid pressing and squeezing the lump.

In some infective ones, oral or topical

antibiotics or a combination of the two might be needed.

If it does not respond to conservative management, then see an ophthalmologist because sometimes it might require incision and drainage.

FINE COOKING

with

LASOONI MACHI “Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish – too much handling will spoil it”. – Lao Tzu. These are very strong and true words from a wise man. The succulence of each piece of fish (Giwan Ruwa also known as Nile Perch) flavoured faultlessly with crushed garlic and fresh cream allows us to satisfy you over and over again. Here at Wakkis, we may not have the power or luxury of governing a whole nation, but we take pride in the governing of your meals to ensure maximum fulfilment to every customer.

INGREDIENTS USED IN LASOONI MACHI BONELESS FISH: We love food and healthy living so much it overflows. Wakkis have taken the time to debone each piece of fish so that you don’t have to stress about it. The beauty about fish is it requires minimum effort but goes well with everything. This is a calorie dense protein pack that is recommended when it comes to your health. It’s easier to digest compared to chicken for example, and it’s good for the eyes too. The oil found in the Giwan Ruwa (Nile Perch) is said to boost the cardiovascular health and provides protection from stroke and heart attack simultaneously.

GARLIC POWDER: Did you know that garlic falls under the onion, shallots and leeks family and is a bulbous plant. The pungent smell of this plant which is caused by a compound called allicin like its counterparts is what makes it unique. Over the years the popularity of this plant has grown and is being added to every area of our lives. It has medicinal benefits to the body; in cooking it can emphasize the aroma of a dish. From research high doses of garlic over time improves blood pressure of those with high blood pressure.

Another benefit of this bulbous beauty is that the old leftover pieces that have been forgotten in storage may be recycled into powder form – hence no excuse for wastage.

PLAIN YOGHURT: This is a yummy treat that can be enjoyed in various forms. The next time you want to satisfy a sweet tooth, pour some yoghurt over some grapes and berries and a dash of honey, and watch how greedy you get with your dessert. The lactic acid in yoghurt makes it an inexpensive alternative when you want to exfoliate and attack blemishes. Yes ladies, we said it. The high presence of potassium found in yoghurt helps to flush out unnecessary sodium which may lead to heart or kidney disease over time.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime” – Chinese Proverb. Wakkis would love to feed you for a day and a lifetime, that’s the reason why we have shared some of our ingredients and also go the extra mile to provide our customers with nothing but the best. You can enjoy this with a side of our salad variety specials, toss, Greek, Caesar salad – you name it and we provide it. We are waiting....

“Budan kai”in English which means the Unveiling of the bride. It is an event organized by the groom’s family in order to honor and welcome the bride to her new family.It is mostly done in the northern part of Nigeria. This event signifies a sort of acceptance and welcoming of the bride into her new family. During this event all members of the groom’s family are expected to be present. As the bride is arriving her new home veiled from head to toe, she is made to walk on a wrapper layed on the floor and the groom’s mother or any female member of the groom’s family is on hand to unveil the new bride. They welcome their new bride and accept her from her old family by paying a token. In some instances she is given a pet name. The unveiling had been in the hausa-fulani society for ages, and despite introducing modern day trends to wedding ceremonies, the budan kai remained an integral part of the main events.
