barcanista: The positives are glaring but haters will continue to hate. I am sure sincere minds can deduce themselves

jmaine: Something is definitely amiss with this Kwankwaso and Niger Aliance. It needs to be seriously probed . . . .

DecemberIV: I see bitter hypocrites on this thread whose only genuine grouse with barcanista is that he is supporting a northerner, not knowing he is supporting good governance without ethno-religious bias, which has earned him a lot of respect on NL.

Now, tell me how a vanquished nyamiri like chiefjusticefuk who is most likely the product of a baby factory in Ugwuagba or an escaped sacrifice from the cannibal restaurants of Ose-Okwodu market can understand simple points raised by the OP. The flaTThead is so blinded by hate for the north that he doesn't realize how much he's frothing at the mouth like a expiring im_becile. Instead of bowing his short pygmy neck in shame considering none of the SE governors have achieved HALF of what Kwankwaso has achieved. Everyone keeps hampering on the low penetration of western education in some parts of the north, yet a visionary administrator that has responsibly engaged in Human Development through the same western education, albeit in a foreign land for strategic reasons, is being castigated.

Let me ask the house, when international students enrol in the KASG owned institution, who earns the revenue? Whose students get field experience in learning french in a francophone country? Whose students get priority attention in the University? Whose country's profile gets raised for investing in educational infrastructure in a fellow poorer ECOWAS country?

Some people are just bitter that the North is paying needed attention to the sector they love to bash it on, with better facilities (NW University, ABTI) than exists in the whole of the erosion ravaged, red soiled, magic exam centre infested, examination malpractice ravaged South East.

barcanista: Before you criticize let us see what is on ground in Kano State.
UNIVERSITIES Established By Kwankwaso Administration:

VOCATIONAL SCHOOL:
Kwankwaso Established 44 Craft Schools, one in each of the 44 LG in Kano State.
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Kwankwaso Established 44 School for Islamic Studies, one in each of the 44 LG in Kano State.
INT'L LANGUAGE:
1. Dr. Kwankwaso established ALL male bilingual boarding college in Niamey, Niger Republic for Kano Indigens to Learn FRENCH Language as well as English language
2. He is set to establish ALL FEMALE bilingual boarding college in Niamey for Kano Indigens to Learn FRENCH Language as well as English language
ALL THESE FREE OF CHARGE for the students to study

Where is better to Learn French a Francophone or an Anglophone Country??
Which is better between:
1.The State Establishes its FRENCH school abroad so as to teach Kano Indigens and also Generate Revenue for the State Government as well as contribute to Nigeria's GDP
OR
2. The State Spend BILLIONS sending students abroad to Learn French Language, repatriating monies to the foreign countries without having anything in return in the nearest future apart from education of the students.

datolee:

Sometimes I'm marveled at your very myopic views.

1. If the school is bilingual (French and English), where is better to learn English? Francophone or Anglophone? How many Francophone countries have set up schools in Anglophone countries to learn English Language?

2. How will the school add to Nigerian GDP when the school is subsided by the Kano state Government, they employed Nigeriens, they pay tax to Nigerien Government, use their facilities.. simply put, the school will add to Niger GDP not Nigeria's.

3. Britain and America are urging their schools to drop French and concentrate on Chinese language, but non of these countries have build any school in China.

4. If not celebrating mediocrity, what is the business of Government engaging in business?

5. What is the business of a state Government building a physical structure in another country? a move that is clearly diplomatic and should be done only by the Federal Government, otherwise, prove to us any state in a country that have built a physical structure in another country

6. Why not build the school in Kano, employ teachers from Francophone countries for a period of about 5 - 10 years, and mold the locals to take over afterwards (knowledge transfer)?

7. This is a huge miss from the Governor and people supporting it are just as misguided as you

ChiefJusticeFuk:

Your mother is a hoe to ab0ki trailer drivers.

You id1ots are the first to swoon in with your jealousy and bad belleism on any thread regarding uncommon transformation in Akwa Ibom but you expect us to follow your almajiri governor.

May God give you sense one day.

BTW assh0le; I am not Ibo

Thanks for disclosing the reasons for your lousy contributions ...... Bad Belleism

I know in your mind you must be saying "Nigeria Sai Kwankwasso".

barcanista: The so-called "uncoMmon nonsense" in Akwa Ibom state a promotion of mediocrity and propaganda just like the TAN gibberish. Akwa Ibomites are suffering in penury, illiteracy there is alarming, unemployment is so high and opportunities there are little or non existing. Most of the citizens travel to Portharcourt, Lagos and some other cities to do job of househelp, wash plates in restaurants and other menial jobs. Most of the areas are toooooo rural by even an average standard.
But this is a state that gets the Highest allocation from the Federation, normally, this state should be urnanized but no, only some few Roads in Uyo and few "propagandist" project. The Governor is known as Father Christmas in the celebrity circle(Ask 2face). The problem with this people is that they suffer and smile. They don't know how to hold their leaders accountable. They celebrated thief Obong Attah, now they are Celebrating Akpabio. Ask them the economic change, they will tell you "he is trying". I don't pity them but I sometimes sympathise with them. If only they will look beyond tribalism and partisanship-better leaders will emerge and not thieves.

barcanista: Don't mind Berem, she just wants to criticize the man without substance. I would have been the fiercest critic IF he didn't do anything in Kano State. I absolutely share in his vision in that School. I fully endorse it

poiZon:






wht u mean he has completely transformed kano,nothing needs to be done again in kano. in ur own assesment kano is now in par with lagos in terms of development, kano needs no more development.
bro baca go back n do a proper research on ur life.

barcanista: 1. The school is bilingual, The main aim is to Teach the students French Language, and also sharpen their English usage.
2. You don't have to ask such question if yoy understand GDP-especially "Contribution from Abroad". Other students will enroll, international, local Nigerien, other Nigerians etc. They will pay fees to the school which goes into KASG account. Tax, Salaries and other cost will definitely be deducted. The rest will most likely Head Back to Kano. Do you think Chinese are stupid to set up some firms in Africa? Indians? Or Americans are stupid to move some firms to Asia?
3. That's nonsense
4. You are the MedÍocre. Go get familiarised with the 1999 Constitution(as amended). Education is in the Concurrent List NOT exclusive list- I suppose you understand.
5. As long as it is not doing any formal signing of diplomatic agreement using FG, the KASG did not work with Nigerien President in the name of Nigeria but it strictly built school using the Goodwill relatioÑship btw Nigeria and Niger as an advantage is not only legal but a plus.
6. The first page shd tell yu the number of over how many schools in Kano and the benefit of having a school abroad thÀt doesn't only rÀise the Kano/Nigeria profile but also make it easy for students all over Africa and outside to patronise who hitherto has lost confidence in "Nigeria" just as many Nigerians lost confidence and will rather send their wards to Ghana, Benin, Cameroon to school rather than good private schools here.
7. He's the Governor of Kano State aÑd so far his people welcomed the idea. In fact many will get the rare opportunity of int'l exposure in a conducive facility learning foreÍgn language.

WHAT did Jonathan and ALL your Governors Achieved all through their political lives?

datolee:
1. That still haven't answered the question, do American or British government build a school in China for their student to learn Chinese?
2. I think you are the one who has little or no understanding of what GDP is.. maybe you should look up the difference between GDP and GNP. No tell, how will a school be in Niger Republic and the students are paying school fees to a Nigeria account? For your clarity: GDP = An estimated value of the total worth of a country’s production and services, within its boundary, by its nationals and foreigners, calculated over the course on one year. GNP = An estimated value of the total worth of production and services, by citizens of a country, on its land or on foreign land, calculated over the course on one year. Please educate me, how will siting a school in Niger improve Nigeria's GDP or Niger's. America and others move their firms to China for a primary reason of cheap labour Do you know that a lot of countries are giving MNC incentives to invest in their country?
3. It is nonsense because it doesn't support your skewed logic
4. Lets see, education is on concurrent list for development of education within the boundaries of Nigeria. By your logic, since health is also concurrent list, we should build hospitals in India, after all, we have a lot of Nigerians studying medicine in India.
5. So KASG is now in the business of education? What a good leader ought to have done was to use his goodwill to help private sector gain inroad into Nigerien's education sector just like the American Government did in the just concluded US-African leaders submit.
6. Well if he is too worried about people who have lost confidence in Nigeria. why not build a university there as well? and while at it, establish a hospital there. Isn't the corrective failures of those in Government that people are "losing confidence" in Nigeria and your solution is to take all our establishment offshore. Well, GEJ should do quick and build a University in Ghana with Nigerian's money because other countries have lost confidence in Nigeria
7. Have you heard of Alliance francaise? why not partner with them to improve the facility already in Kano for the study of French language and culture?
8. I would rather my governor achieve nothing that developing another man's country with our money. I bet you are one of those who criticized Peter Obi for building a shopping mall in Abuja instead of his state, Anambra even though the mall was a private business.
9. Go on and continue turning logic on its head

barcanista: 1. The school is bilingual, The main aim is to Teach the students French Language, and also sharpen their English usage. If You don't know its importance, IT IS UP TO YOU
2. You don't have to ask such question if you understand GDP-especially "Contribution from Abroad". I am sure you have skewed knowledge of economics If you don't know that whatever is repatriated to the country is calculated as part of the country's GPD
3. That's nonsense
4. The Constitution DIDN'T define Boundary when it talks of Education. Again Get familiarise with the 1999 Constitution(As amended)
5. Still making no sense
6. You are making no point my friend
7. And Spend Millions Yearly sponsoring student within the geographical boundary of Nigeria rather than train students in a conducive FRENCH environment plus exposure? No wonder you reason this way.
8. Thanks to God that RABIU KWANKWASO is not your Governor nor Governor in your region. More thanks that Kano People and North-West people aren't complaining but cheering the move. They elected him to serve THEM and not to serve YOU.
9. I don't care about Peter Obi nor any SE Governor. I am only concerned with RIVERS STATE Government-My Home State, Bayelsa State Government-My Sister State and Lagos State Government-Because I live here. Ofcourse, I applaud good governance from any part of the country even when I am not a direct beneficiary.
10. You have nothing to say dude. Have a Nice day
WHAT did Jonathan and ALL your Governors Achieved all through their political lives?

datolee:

1. You still aren't making any sense my friend.. I repeat, No Government has any business building and equipping school in another country so that it's citizens should go an study. What are we tell other countries here?.. don't invest in Nigeria. I don't care if they are learning French (mediocre language anyways) or heavenly language. USA, Malaysia and other countries also send their students to study abroad, non have ever thought about building a full fledged school there.

2. I won't discuss you more on this, you have no idea what GDP and GNP is. The school contributes to Niger's GDP but Nigeria's GNP. (MTN Nigeria is included in Nigeria's GDP not South Africa's)

3. What exposure are you talking about? why not build the school in France so they will have first hand experience from the native speakers and while we are at it, consider building schools in Lagos (to learn Yoruba language) and Enugu (To learn Igbo language)

4. You have no idea what you are writing about. I'm off, thanks
