"Salamat was a victim of circumstance and was traumatized as a result of her past. She was willing to give life a chance but something seems to be missing.

The past came tumbling before her when she was already healing and could barely remember the pain. She became stigmatized and couldn't help but give in to despair.

Will she be able to overcome these troubles someday? Or will it affect her mental state and disrupt her matrimonial prospect? Will Habib's betrayal break her or make her stronger?"

THE STIGMA

　　Level 3 hadn't been easy for Saleem with the fact that he had started working. He was going through a difficult time combining his work at Bitmas bakery and his academics.


　　They went on another field trip at the end of the first semester to Ranno, a new site in Kano state.


　　Ranno was a new site, unlike Radda which has been frequented for 3 consecutive years by the department. This made it difficult for the students to compile their works on the historical background of the studied site.


　　Some of the students went to the lecturers to ask for help but Saleem was bent on figuring out a way to do it without anyone's help. Though, he wasn't willing to take risks because the field report makes up 60percent of their assessment.


　　Saleem reviewed the format of previous sites based on their historical and geographical background to gain an insight on how to go about compiling his work. They were given a deadline and it was fast approaching.
