Auren Kwangila Book 4 Hausa Novel Complete
The late Malam Abdullahi Dakata’s house is a well-known landmark in the Dakata area of Kano State. It stands as a testament to his legacy of combining religious and modern education for his children. Malam Abdullahi was a trader who sold large and small shaddoji imported from Cotonou, operating a thriving business out of his spacious shop in Kwari Market. Through this trade, he provided for his family, ensuring they received the education and knowledge they take pride in today.
Malam Abdullahi passed away long ago, leaving behind four children—three sons and one daughter—all from his beloved wife, Inna Rabi. His eldest son, Atiku, fondly called Baffa Atiku, was followed by Adda Hafsatu, then Abdulkarim Dakata, and the youngest, Idris Abdullahi Dakata. Inna Rabi also passed away when Idris was just 25 years old.
Baffa Atiku, the eldest, is the father of Dr. Hamza, his only child with his wife, Hajiya Ramatu. Though elderly, they remain active and vibrant. Abdulkarim Dakata, another of Malam Abdullahi’s sons, currently serves as a Senator representing Kano Central and lives in Abuja with his family. Adda Hafsatu, the only daughter of Malam Abdullahi, is the mother of Hajiya Maryam, who has five younger siblings: Anty Luba, Anty Furairah, Anty Mariya, Anty Murja, and Adda Ibrahim. Ibrahim, the youngest, is currently a first-year student at Ahmadu Bello University, studying tsimi da tanadi (planning and development). Meanwhile, his sisters—Lubabatu, Furairah, Mariya, and Murja—completed secondary school before marrying and now live in Kano with their respective families.
The youngest son, Idris Dakata, is studying medicine at the University of Maiduguri. Though unmarried, he is affectionately known as Uncle Idris within the family.
Adda Hafsatu’s eldest daughter, Hajiya Maryam, worked in government service for 30 years before retiring. Since the passing of her husband, Alhaji Hassan, she has dedicated herself to caring for her children. Hajiya Maryam and Dr. Hamza share a special bond as siblings raised together under the same roof. Their marriage, however, was unusual within the family—they were the only two who married within their lineage. Hamza had admired her since childhood, and they married before Maryam completed her first degree.
Hamza, who was a lecturer at Bayero University, quickly rose to prominence due to his talent for academic writing and publishing in political science. By a young age, he was promoted to professor and later held several government positions. His career culminated in his appointment as a Permanent Secretary in the Office of the President, a role facilitated by a childhood friend of his father. With this prestigious position, he relocated his family to Abuja.
The house of Malam Abdullahi gained even greater prominence in the Dakata area thanks to the achievements of his sons and grandchildren, particularly Dr. Hamza and Senator Abdulkarim. Both men are celebrated for their community service, offering assistance to the people of Dakata whenever they visit Kano.
Currently, the family home is occupied by Baffa Atiku, his wife Hajiya Ramatu, and Idris, who stays there during his university breaks. Adda Hafsatu, after selling her daughters’ house and dividing their father’s property, moved back to the family home. She now resides in her late mother’s room, living peacefully alongside her brother Baffa Atiku and his wife.
Despite the presence of her nieces and nephews—Luba, Mariya, Furairah, and Murja—during holidays, Adda Hafsatu maintains a respectful relationship with her sister-in-law, Hajiya Ramatu. She honors her as both her brother’s wife and her mother-in-law, fostering harmony in the household.
