Olisaeloka Onyekaonwu Jibril “But Zainab . . . My mother, where is she? And Salim . . . where is Salim?” “All k—killed.” “No. No . . .” “I’m sorry, Jibril.” “No. . .” “Jibril. . .” “NOOO!” Mallam Usman wrapped his arms around me as I wailed, unable to embody my anguish. He smelt of sweat, of wet onions. He was sobbing, shuddering to the core of his being. And his tears gave me the courage to really mourn, and to hope; to believe that everything that happened was one nightmare we all would someday wake up from, laughing. Olisaeloka Onyekaonwu is 19. He studies Mass Communication at the University of Benin, Nigeria. He strongly believes that women with low hair cut are the most beautiful people in the world. 57
