Miners

Title: “Road of Hustle – Daga Ƙasa Zuwa Ƙasa”

(African Mining Journey • Hausa + English vibes)

Eh eh…

This one for the hustlers…

From one country to another in Africa…

Searching for minerals, searching for tomorrow…

Different places… different faces… one struggle.

Mun bar gida da fata a zuciya,

No comfort, only dreams ahead,

Crossing borders under hot sun,

Following survival wherever it led.

Wani lokaci babu masauki,

Sometimes no food on the road,

But we kept moving with prayer,

Carrying invisible loads.

Searching for minerals inside the earth,

But searching for purpose inside ourselves,

Every dust on our clothes became a story,

Every journey became a lesson.

Migration no easy, my brother,

Life no soft for traveller,

But every hand we meet on the road,

Makes the burden lighter.

From one country to another,

African hustle never sleeps,

We carry dreams across the borders,

Even when the suffering is deep.

No matter the hardship we face,

We keep our faith alive,

One day our story will change,

And our hustle will survive.

Reached Algeria after long roads,

Dust and hope side by side,

There I met Mr Josh and Daxi boy,

Brothers who helped the journey ride.

We shared stories under evening sky,

Talked of home and better days,

Small laughter inside big struggle,

Strength appearing in unexpected ways.

Then Libya opened another chapter,

Met Usman and Ibrahim there,

Every day teaching patience,

Every night filled with prayer.

Sudan brought another lesson,

Imaam and Kabisa stood strong,

Saying “hold your hope together,”

And keep moving along.

Back through roads and changing places,

Adamawa welcomed with grace,

Barnabas and Monday ATM,

Good people in another space.

Taraba gave another family,

Oga Auwal and Baban gida,

Words of courage, open hearts,

Helping travellers stand stronger.

Nasarawa memories remain,

Abdul Tunubu and Abdul Omide Baiby,

Many names, many faces,

All becoming part of our story.

From Algeria to Libya,

Sudan down to Nigeria,

Different roads but one ambition,

Building life through determination.

If suffering writes our chapter,

Hope will write the ending,

African hustle, African spirit,

Forever rising, never bending.

To every traveller…

To every miner…

To every brother met on the road…

Your kindness is remembered.

From one country to another…

Our struggle… our journey…

Our story… Africa… 🌍🎶
