Mai nono (milk maidens) is a familiar view in the social-economic scenery in the Northern part of Nigeria.
The picture depicts three Beautiful elegantly dressed Hausa girls hawking Fura de Nono; a nutritious ground millet mixed with rich fresh cow milk, usually sold in beautifully ornamented calabashes.
