We are the makers of our destiny

Zugson 2001 (Kano)



We are the makers of our destiny,
We don’t need to confuse ourselves because of something called destiny.
We've got boundaries that we know we shouldn’t cross.
Destiny isn’t man to bind us with a tough rope.
 
We all choose our destiny,
Nobody chooses our destiny for us.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
You make the decision.
 
I have now made up my mind to choose my own way.
I don’t care.
I no longer care.
I’ll choose what’s best for me.

Zugson

Hausa Boy, whose full name is Abba Abdullahi Garba, is a Nigerian up-and-coming artist, songwriter, part-time passionate blogger, and technology bro. He began his musical journey in 2021 and released his first wackiest song, "Ni Da Ke Mun Dace," in 2022 under the name Zugson," which has now become void (both the song and the artistic name). Unknown to many, known by a handful, all he dreamed of was being known by not just many but by unlimited people worldwide, including djinns, devils, ghosts, and everybody. If you need to get in touch with him, you can send him an email at iamhausaboy@yandex.com. more…
