FURAR ƊANK'O by Billyn Abdul

At Aminu Kano International Airport, a young woman makes it clear that she has no patience for unwanted attention. Dressed in fashionable clothes, carrying expensive accessories and wearing an expression that leaves little room for conversation, Mawaddat Isma'il Ibrahim Jiƙamshi, popularly known as Lulu Ƙamshi, is determined to go her own way. When a man approaches her and asks for her phone number, she responds with insults that leave him standing in disbelief. But that is only the beginning of the trouble surrounding her return to Kano in FURAR ƊANK'O, a Hausa novel by Billyn Abdul.

Mawaddat is twenty-four years old and comes from a wealthy family. Her father, Engineer Isma'il Ibrahim Jiƙamshi, is a successful businessman and the owner of Jiƙamshi Motors. As his third daughter, she has grown up enjoying privileges and receiving considerable attention from him and her uncle, Yousuf Ibrahim Jiƙamshi. She has also spent much of her life abroad, where she completed most of her education. She is now a lawyer, although the opening chapters make it clear that her professional qualification has not made her any less difficult to handle.

Lulu is confident, fashionable and fiercely independent. She dresses according to her own preferences, enjoys going out to clubs and has little interest in changing herself to satisfy other people's expectations. She dislikes poverty and has a strong aversion to poor people. Her attitude towards men is equally firm. Wealth, family background or social position does not automatically earn a man her attention. If someone crosses her boundaries, she is prepared to answer with sharp words and an even sharper temper.

Her appearance attracts attention wherever she goes, but her behaviour often leaves people talking for very different reasons. At the airport, passengers and other travellers notice her expensive outfit, stylish accessories and striking presence. Some admire her beauty, while others cannot hide their reactions to her confidence and mannerisms. Lulu, however, seems uninterested in what anyone thinks of her. She walks through the airport as though the attention around her has nothing to do with her.

One of the first people to discover how difficult she can be is MM Atik Kumo. He is travelling on the same flight and becomes interested in Lulu before they leave the airport. Hoping to continue their acquaintance, he approaches her and asks for her address or phone number. He introduces himself as MM Atik Kumo and begins explaining his family background, but Lulu has no interest in hearing his introduction. She cuts him short with insulting remarks and walks away.

Her response surprises the people watching. MM Atik is not an ordinary man without connections. He is the son of Hon. Mustapha Atik Kumo, a prominent politician and former governor of Kano who is also described in the story as a presidential aspirant. MM Atik is wealthy in his own right and is accustomed to moving among influential people. Yet Lulu does not appear impressed by his name, money or status. She treats him as another unwanted man who has interrupted her journey.

The encounter also introduces an important detail about MM Atik himself. Despite his public confidence and wealthy background, he has a reputation for pursuing women. The narrator describes him as someone who knows how to approach women and gain their attention, even when they initially resist him. His interest in Lulu therefore raises questions about whether he sees her as a genuine challenge or simply another woman he wants to win over. Whatever his intentions, she gives him no easy opportunity.

Lulu's return to Kano brings another confrontation, this time with a man who does not respond to her temper in the way she expects. At the airport, a young boy recognises her and excitedly calls her attention to Uncle Smart, who is standing beside a large black vehicle. Lulu's expression changes when she notices the driver. Instead of greeting him or asking about the journey, she immediately begins complaining about his behaviour.

Smart Mawashi is a quiet and composed man. He does not appear interested in unnecessary conversation, and the people around him know that he dislikes shouting. The young boy explains this to Lulu, pointing out that Smart does not raise his voice when driving them to school and that even their father does not shout at him. Lulu ignores the explanation. She insults Smart, questions his attitude and treats his silence as an act of disrespect.

Her anger increases when Smart gets into the vehicle and drives away without giving her the reaction she wants. The incident happens in front of other people, some of whom laugh at the exchange. For Lulu, the matter is no longer simply aboutSUTITLE a driver who failed to collect her luggage or respond to her instructions. She sees his behaviour as a personal insult, especially because she believes that someone working under her family's authority should not behave that way towards her.

MM Atik remains nearby and attempts to calm her down. He even offers to take her in his own vehicle, but Lulu refuses. Eventually, he arranges a taxi for her and gives the driver money. Even then, she continues to show her displeasure, responding rudely when the taxi driver asks where she wants to go. The scene reveals how quickly her anger can take control of an ordinary situation and how difficult it is for anyone to calm her once she feels disrespected.

Smart's reaction is very different. He does not argue with Lulu or attempt to defend himself in front of the crowd. Instead, he leaves. Yet the encounter clearly affects him. The narration later identifies him as Aliyu Haydar Mika'il Idris Mawashi, popularly known as Smart Mawashi. He is thirty-four years old, the seventh child of Malam Mika'il Idris Mawashi, and a man with a strong educational background in both religious and Western education. He has also completed a master's degree and additional courses. His nickname reflects his calmness, intelligence and commitment to whatever he undertakes.

Although he is currently working as a driver, Smart does not see himself as someone who should accept humiliation because of his position. After leaving the airport, he goes to the offices of Jiƙamshi's company to see Yousuf, the uncle who brought him into the household's employment. Yousuf is not available, so Smart leaves the vehicle key and a message with the secretary. He then takes a commercial tricycle, still upset by the way Lulu treated him. His thoughts make one thing clear: he may not be wealthy, but he does not intend to allow another person to make him feel worthless.

The contrast between Lulu and Smart gives the opening chapters much of their tension. Lulu has money, family influence and the confidence that comes from knowing her father will usually take her side. Smart has his education, self-respect and a quiet determination not to be pushed around. Their positions in the household are different, but neither appears willing to surrender personal dignity simply to satisfy the other.

The story also gives readers a closer look at Lulu's family life. When she arrives home, her anger has not subsided. She enters the family sitting room demanding to know who arranged for Smart to collect her from the airport. Her relatives are familiar with her temper, and the people around her know that she can make serious threats when she is upset. One of the younger girls explains that Uncle Yousuf brought Smart into the household only recently, but this information does not calm Lulu.

Her father, Engineer Isma'il, responds with affection and patience. He asks her to sit down, drink some water and explain what happened. Rather than correcting her behaviour, he promises to take action against anyone who has upset her. He even offers to contact Yousuf and have Smart dismissed. Lulu is pleased by her father's support, but she has another plan. She wants Smart to remain in the household long enough for her to make him regret the way he treated her.

This scene reveals an important part of the family dynamic. Lulu's father is deeply attached to her and is prepared to defend her even before he knows the full details of the disagreement. Other members of the household appear less convinced by her complaints. Their reactions suggest that her temper is not new to them. Some respond with irritation, while others remain quiet and allow her father to handle the situation.

Her treatment of the household staff further illustrates the influence she enjoys. The workers are careful around her because they know how quickly she can turn a small mistake into a major confrontation. She expects things to be done according to her instructions, and even older employees are required to address her as Aunty. One elderly worker is particularly affected by Lulu's harsh words, although she also acknowledges that Lulu has helped improve her circumstances and supported her family. Her feelings are therefore complicated. She is hurt by the young woman's behaviour but remains grateful for the assistance she has received.

Lulu's relationship with her uncle Yousuf also appears different from her relationship with her father. While Engineer Isma'il tends to excuse her actions, Yousuf sometimes challenges her and points out her mistakes. This difference matters because Yousuf is also the person who introduced Smart into the household. Lulu's anger towards the driver may therefore create a wider disagreement within the family, especially if she expects everyone to support her decision.

Beyond her public behaviour, the opening chapters hint that Lulu has a private side that her family does not fully know about. The narrator mentions a secret activity she carries out carefully, without revealing its details. There has also been a previous incident involving her uncle Yousuf in which she narrowly avoided being discovered. The excerpt does not explain what this secret activity involves, so its nature remains an unanswered part of her character.

The story also introduces MM Atik Kumo as a separate source of interest in Lulu's life. He has seen her behaviour at close range and remains determined to find her after learning where she lives. His family influence and personal confidence make him a very different kind of man from Smart. While Smart avoids unnecessary attention and refuses to engage in arguments, MM Atik actively pursues the woman who has rejected him. The two men therefore approach Lulu from very different positions, and their introductions add another layer to the relationships developing around her.

FURAR ƊANK'O begins with lively dialogue, dramatic confrontations and a strong focus on personality. Its opening chapters move between the airport, the Jiƙamshi family home and the workplace, allowing readers to see how Lulu behaves in different settings. The narration is direct and expressive, with moments of humour arising from the reactions of people who have to deal with her temper. At the same time, Smart's quiet response introduces a more serious question about dignity, class and how people treat others whose jobs or financial circumstances appear different from their own.

The novel is likely to appeal to readers who enjoy Hausa fiction centred on family relationships, strong personalities, social differences and developing romantic tension. Lulu's character is particularly distinctive because she is not presented as someone who easily changes her behaviour to please others. She has money and confidence, but she also has a habit of making enemies through her words and actions. Smart, meanwhile, is introduced as a man who values composure and self-respect. Their early conflict gives the story a clear point of tension without revealing where their relationship may lead.

Several questions remain open in the supplied chapters. Will Lulu succeed in getting Smart dismissed, or will he stand his ground despite her family's influence? Why does Smart's quiet refusal to argue affect her so deeply? Will MM Atik continue pursuing Lulu after their embarrassing first meeting? What is the secret activity Lulu has managed to keep hidden from her family? And how will Yousuf respond when he learns that the new driver has already become the centre of a serious disagreement in his brother's household?

In a household where Lulu expects everyone to obey her, Smart's refusal to be intimidated may prove harder for her to accept than any insult.
