At least five times a month, someone must remind me that I am 30 and unmarried and I won’t find respect and happiness – Nigerian photographer, Fati Abubakar

Internationally acclaimed Borno documentary photographer, Fati Abubakar has said that she is constantly reminded that she is 30 and unmarried and hence will not find respect and happiness

She shared this in a post on Facebook. In her words: “At least five times a month someone must remind me I am over 30 and unmarried hence I will never have ”respect” or ”happiness”. I am not sure what they want me to do? Make a billboard? Highly unIslamic of Muslims to assume everyone that comes to the world will be married or have children. Our destiny is in His hands. Sigh.”
