A week after my first date with Aminu, we both went on a second date, and this time, I was the one who chose where we went; a pizza hut.
During our date, we decided to know a little more about ourselves, since we didn't get around to doing that, before Adams appeared and disrupted our last date with his ill presence.
"I'm curious, you bear both a yoruba, and an hausa name, where exactly are you from?" I asked Aminu, as I took a slice of pizza.
"My dad is from the north, and my mom is from the west, so suffice it to say, that I'm a northwestern man." He said smiling.
This got me laughing, "there is no such thing, as a northwestern man, you are from the north."
"Why? Because that's where my dad is from?"
"Yes of course."
"What about my mom? She is from the West."
"Well no doubt, a part of you, is from the West."
"That's why I'm saying I'm a northwestern man."
We both laughed at this.
