that is the reason why i hate Lord Lugard. the amalgamation of this country was a mistake that needs urgent correction. some one should just wake him to undo what he did wrongly

Buy ram, big big ram, obonge ram! Buy ram! I don hammer o! Ping 2314c3fj for pix nd prices

Someone tell me how we are going to develop at this rate...

GEJ did similar thing December 2010 but many MDAs did not pay their
staff that money. It was shared among the DGs, ministers and perm secs.
There is nothing wrong with that, by the way, there is nowhere in the
world u can have all the developments u can think about.
And 4 ur information, this same gov. sent over 500 of their young men and women on scholarships oversea to do postgraduate studies this September. What NDDC could not do after conducting fake interviews. If u tink Kano is backward, then have a re-tink

The post actually meant:

"Kano Releases N1.7Billion For Sallah Boko HaRAMS"

I didnt understand;>......rams or arms?
mismanaging of puplic funds

D governor would most likely buy d rams from his farm, and make a profit of about one million dollars.

Youngzedd:

Am speechless, the way they spend cash still yet there are the poorest and undeveloped.
Thank God for the Igbos in kano that made kano what it is today.

Those leaders need a sound education. What a mess.

Itself.pls Don't deviate thread with tribalism.

if na ram be dia problem then d gov should spend d entire 2013 bugdet 2 buy more rams make them chop.

...and only N400m set aside for flood relief and emergency recovery?? Priorities.....

I just saw an article on thisday that states that 10,000 residents of Kano state lost their homes to the flood . Now think of how many temporary houses / camps this 1.7billion could have been used for , medicine , food for those who lost their homes etc . but oh well i guess in the mind of an average northerner a ram comes before a man. I'm lost on this one .

EyesWideOpen:

Except if maybe you meant the flood of last year which to my knowledge had been well taken care of (but how wud you know, wen you're dumb enof to rely on a media outlet that only reports sensational news like '10000 displaced by flood in Kano' for info)
GOOD THINGS are happenin in Kano.

I don't know which kind of country is my dear Nigeria, always misplace prirority, that money could build road, standard hospital, better schools, susidize agricultural product or build some estate for kano citizen. Just like in march when sokoto anounced to spend some million dollars to sponsor contingent to middleeast to compete in quranic competition. Well Sanusi and others can you see the real cause of Boko Haram instead of saying they need more money.

Kano State government has pledged to provide immediate relief materials to alleviate the sufferings of victims of flood disasters across the state.

The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Rabi’u Bichi, gave this assurance when he paid a sympathy visit to the District Head of Bichi, Idris Bayero, and the entire people of the area over the unfortunate incidence.

Dr. Bichi expressed government’s concern over the incidence caused by heavy downpour affecting many residences, households, farmlands and personal belongings.

The SSG directed Bichi Local Government to set up a committee to ascertain the extent of damage and those affected for government’s prompt attention.

On his part, the District Head of Bichi and Barden Kano, Alhaji Idris Baayero, commended the state government for its prompt response to the plight of the people, especially those affected by the havoc.

He, however, appealed to his subjects to ensure that whatever relief materials provided by the government are judiciously distributed to the victims, adding that they should fear Allah in their submission to the committee.

In their separate remarks, some of the victims expressed gratitude to the Kwankwaso Administration for the assistance extended to them since the disaster struck in early August this year.

[size=15pt]There you have it . You can't deny the fact that using 1.7billion for rams instead of tending to the needs of HUMANS is just irresponsible .

In some certain tribe / Religion : Animals > Humans and its just sad ![/size]

Allah ya kaimu SALLAH muci naman RAGO.

I hope this doesn't affect the already escalated price of G commodity, I don't give a damn about the cost boko rams.

My brother you just echoed my sentiment.

RAM ALLOWANCE ?

Education is really Evil Walahai.

Kano Christians, expect your own 1.7billion for xmas cows

Mr.chippychappy

And I blv you've followed the developments thereafter, or maybe you just sat there shaking your head.
I think it's clearly spelt out in most if not all the pieces that

the government has pledged to aid them

I'm sure they since have.
You don't suppose a goverment that's willing to spend a whopping 1b on Rams would ignore its ppl's plight, do you? NOT IN KANO!
I repeat, GOOD THINGS are happening in Kano.

digospel2: Kano Christians, expect your own 1.7billion for xmas cows

I don't suppose they give Sallah allowance to the few Muslims in ur state, do they?
Stop showing your CRASS STUPIDITY pls.

bunch of illiterate men,see their mentality.

Ehehehi.... Make una watch before una go eat am o, this na Gboko poison o; they get plenty tactice wey them wan use to wipe all the whole nation o!

Na wa ooOh... Na ram dey want,make dem see ram chop. Money wey dem go carry package almajiris for school na to Chop ram.

Na why I like the Northern Elite...Don't teach them how to fish, keep giving them fish. No need showing them the light,jst control their stomach and they will love you for it.

obadiah777: 7 MILLION POUNDS TO BUY RAMS ? ? ?

What a colossal waste!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was that in the budget? And if so who approved it?

Nayoanalytical: bunch of illiterate men,see their mentality.

watch ur tongue young man.

Can the whole northern illitrate elites see from their noses not from their eyes again, becacause, their eyes are blind and their ears blocked, that "they are the most crazy fools on earth".
Tomorrow,the useless so called leaders of the north will be crying that, federal Government is marginalizing them and that poverty is the root cause of BOKO HARAM,Who caused poverty in the north,if not looters and foolish rulers they have in the north like this useless governor of KANO STATE,who is doing this uncalled for display of shame, to humiliate CHRISTIANS in the north.
7 million pounds is is 7 naira?
Now, I can see the reason why the norther leaders or rulers behave like RAM,is because all their life time is dealing and worshiping RAM.

^^^ see ur lyf, busy disparaging som1 where you believe you've superior knowledge of their problems.
Pls channell that energy into something of benefit to you. While you're here disparaging the Governor, he'll be there sleeping in peace in the knowledge that the people of his state are happy. #KanoPeopleSayHeShouldRideOn
