After a stint as Graduate Assistant at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, we both applied to the University of Khartoum, Sudan and the University of London. University of London was my preference while University of Khartoum was his, but both of us applied to the two. I got admission to the University of London and he got admission to the Khartoum University. So, we had to decide where to go, but my husband said if it is my wish that we go to London, then we both should. He did his PHD while I did my Masters at the renowned School for Oriental and African Studies. I did my Masters in Hausa. I was the only student for that course in the whole university, so I was going to class all alone. I completed my thesis in seven months, wrote the exams and completed the programme.
