“Last Saturday at the Bantama market I engaged the services of a young lady to help me with my shopping. I had asked a trader for where I could get yam, the lady responded in English where I could get some tubers of yam. I was surprised to hear her speak the language that fluently with a pan on her head roaming the market for loads to carry.
I found out that the 19-year old Bayira is in her 3rd year at a teacher Training College. She has been doing “Kayayei” to support her mum pay for fees and cater for her 3 younger ones. She says the mum usually borrow to supplement what she realizes from traveling down South to carry loads”
