Mustafa Ribadu is a hard-working brother living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. He moved to the Capital of Canada a while ago from his hometown of Kano, northern Nigeria. After studying applied business at Algonquin College, Mustafa looked for work but couldn't find it. He went back to working with his hands, which is what he does best. Canada might be different from Mustafa old stomping grounds in the beautiful, peaceful nation of Nigeria, but certain things a man never forgets...
Back in the nation of Nigeria, Mustafa was a handyman and after going to trade school in Ontario, he got certified and began working. The work isn't bad, but there are a lot of hassles, such as the women he meets on the job. Some of these women love handy men. Others absolutely hate the very mention of the breed. What does Mustafa want? The brother wants to work in peace, nothing more and nothing else. Kindly respect that, please and thank you.
Canada can be a difficult place for African Muslim men, especially when it comes to dealing with women in the workplace. Mustafa the handyman is the kind of Muslim brother who adapts to the challenges that life throws his way. Of course, there are women whom mother nature seems to have designed to be the testers and tempters of men. What's a cool and smart Nigerian brother supposed to do with such ladies? Only time will tell...
"Aren't you supposed to be doing something?" Nurse Kelly Augustin asked Mustafa the handyman, upon finding the short, muscular and dark-skinned Muslim brother having a smoke in the clinic basement. Mustafa should have been fixing the Woodroffe Community Health Center's pipes, but instead he was being a lazy bum. Looking at the six-foot-tall, curvy, chocolate-skinned Haitian nurse who stood before him, hands on her hips, Mustafa briefly admired her before shrugging his shoulders, seemingly annoyed.
"Get off my ass," Mustafa replied, and he smirked at Nurse Kelly before taking another puff on his damn cigarette. Nurse Kelly Augustin clucked her tongue impatiently, outraged by the brother's sheer arrogance. The Capital of Canada attracts all kinds, and Mustafa the handyman was definitely a surly one. The white nurses at the center might put up with this little bozo but not Nurse Kelly Augustin. The feisty Haitian mama decided to teach the lazy handyman a lesson he wouldn't soon forget...
