Zainab Ado-Bayero, daughter of the late Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, has again cried out for help, revealing that she has been struggling since her father’s death.

In a video that has gone viral, Zainab revealed the dire situation she and her family have been facing, including living in poverty and battling to survive.

The late Emir’s daughter, who disclosed that she is currently stranded in Lagos without help or resources, explained that her father left her with no education, no home, and no support system.

Zainab said she has reached out to leaders and influential figures, including the president, the governor, and the current Emir, but received no assistance.

In the video, she expressed her despair, saying: “I’m outside the streets of Lagos, nowhere to go, stranded, I don’t know anyone, I’m a few meters away from Eko hotel, we have nowhere to go, since morning we’ve been trying to get somebody to help us.

“I can’t keep doing this, this is me, daughter of the Emir of Kano on the street of Lagos, unsafe, stranded, no one cares if I live or die. No one owes me anything, Fine but I at least deserve to feel safe, protected.

“My father left me with nothing, no Education, no home, nothing. I’ve tried to survive, I can’t go on anymore, this is what they’ve turned me to, they’ve turned me into an urchin, they’ve turned me into a girl who has nothing, a girl who had so many dreams, I’m woman with nothing, no Job, no degree, nothing, no home, lost, stranded, no one to turn to, no family.

“The burden is too much on me, My mum and my junior brother depended on me I don’t have any means to keep doing this. I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m exhausted, emotionally, physically, and I don’t know what to do, I don’t know who to turn to .

“I’ve spoken out in the media, I’ve pleaded with the president, I’ve pleaded with the governor, I’ve pleaded with the current Emir Sanusi, their fathers, I’ve pleaded to care for a girl, a young woman who doesn’t want to be killed, who doesn’t want to die, but it’s obvious nobody cares if I live or die and I want to end it because I can’t keep doing this.”

Back in August, Zainab a film maker had sought the help of Kano governor, Abba Yusuf for a house and financial support, claiming that she, her mother, and her brother have been facing challenges since her father’s death.

At that time, she was seeking a lump sum of N150 million for a house in Lagos.

She acknowledged that the governor had assisted them in June but stated that it was insufficient to address their ongoing struggles. She said the financial support for housing and other expenses was insufficient to alleviate their financial burdens, and they have returned to the same situation.

She also appealed to President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and compassionate Nigerians for support.
