For her mum, Hauwa wrote:
"Thank you mummy for allowing us turn your house into a restaurant, crèche and library in the course of the journey. Thank you for inculcating in us the virtue of patience and perseverance."

Twin sisters graduate with first-class degrees from the same university
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Nigerian twin sisters had graduated with first-class degrees from the same university.
Juliet said that while she and her sister are open to opportunities in architecture, they are also planning on how to further their education.
Reliving her past days, Juliet said a sickness made her absent from school for whole two months as people were really concerned about her.
Coming back to school with a very determined mind, the lady read hard, wrote make-up tests, and submitted all missed assignments to keep up.
The lady who got a degree in building technology said she never vied to be the best but to continually be excellent in all that she did in school.
