If it were in Katsina, you'd hear that Arewa boys are being trained to be rude and condescending to females. But it's Abu Dhabi... So, it's cute. Blame it on yourself and height.

I'll not advise ANY ABU student to continue living in Dangote and Shehu Idris hostels once school resumes. You're putting your lives in great risks.

One person I deeply appreciate his work here is @ankaboy ! He has consistently reported the banditry and insecurity in Zamfara state. He has never shared fake news too. I foresee a very good future for you, man. Keep up the good work! @Twitter , very this man.
