A Town In Kano State Founded By An Igbo Man by FreshGuy2(m): 8:47pm On Sep 28, 2015
Do You know that the Town Kwankwaso in Kano State, the Home of
the former State Governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was founded by an Igbo
Trader, Mr Okonkwo about 90years ago?
The Story.
An Igbo trader called Mr. Okonkwo found a convenient farm gate site
along the railway track leading to Kano where he could buy, thresh and
mill groundnut. He set up his thresher and mill and erected a signboard
reading "OKONKWO & SONS ENTERPRISES". Soon he started getting
patronage from neighboring villagers and farmers who found it convenient
for trade because of proximity to the railway. With time, the spot became
lively with business activities and people started erecting huts and market
stalls.

LIAR! Kwankwaso's father was a prominent man in Kwankwaso. Are you trying to say that he migrated from somewhere to join an Igboman in his town in Kano? @OP why do yu want to start sectarian crisis in Kano?

In fact, Sokoto Caliphate was founded by an Ijawman named Sotonye. Kano Emirate was founded by a man from Kwale. Benin Kingdom was established by Uthman Danfodio. Okrika Kingdom was founded by a man from Maiduguri.

It's a known fact that Igbos Open up towns, a good example who be Lafia in Nassarawa State, the town was opened up by the Igbos who stop there to get gas and something to eat, because of that, Lafia is now a state capital. Also all the small towns between Abuja and Nsukka are now springing up because of the Igbos going home from Abuja.

Simple!! because we see other towns especially the ones in the south west as backwards and a potential to make money so we head out to these towns and open them up to the real world. You my friend should be grateful to the Igbos for opening your town.

when a coward talks u kw, u tink everybody is scared of primitive machete wielding abo.kis like u ppl who dashed them Ilorin? Is dat why ur ppl cant venture beyond Niger state? see how u r depending on ur masters to carry ur out hateful desires. Igbos have claimed lagos several times, go and butcher those in Lagos by urself. Northerners kw wat every crises cost them and hv put in everything now to avoid it. If i like i claim to own the whole of new york. There is freedom of expression.
The OP is high on dried paw paw leaf though

Oh God....Oh God...Oh God, please when next you create Ibo on the planet give them abundance sense to be able to see and hear past their ego.

Kwankwaso in Hausa means bottom part of the body, i think the waist or pelvic area. It has nothing to do with Okonkwo. Some of your people made a similar claim about being the first settler of a town in Katsina State, it turned out the town was non existent in the year they claimed settlement on it.

I don.tire for these people. angry

Can you give a breakdown of how the word was formed to become Kwankwaso?
