So is the story a young man that got so devastated and full of regrets. When asked what the matter was with him he'd say "Masara!(Hausa word for maize)". Nothing a young man desires than money and a car to chase beautiful girls; such is the dream most young men these days. This young man harvested the large hectare of land on which he planted maize. The yield was great that when he sold the harvest he bought a car and soon his dream was a reality. Few months after he bought his car, he became lady's man.
Soaring on the wings of ecstasy, his joy knew no bounds, he changed girlfriends as though they were clothes. A time came when this young man fell ill and had to go to the hospital for medical checkup, after series of tests his result showed that he was HIV positive. It was as though the whole world was crumbling on him - at that moment he couldn't think of anything but the advice of an old man that lived by his house; the old man's advice kept flickering in his mind as the last line of the doctor's report thundered in his mind vehemently. Nothing mattered to him at that moment, too bad we cannot turn back the hands of time. He cried day and night, whenever anyone asks him the matter was he would say "masara ". It was the masara that gave him money then the dreaded virus.
