The reason the North will remain backward unti my great granddaughter gets married

Religion is the opium of the masses and the Northerners smoke it the most

Backwardness

Mixing religion and state. Always an incongrous recipe since time immemorial.

It's more profitable and impactful to empower the youths in Kano with that same sum, stop giving us fish to eat, teach us how to fish. Government should teach young people what financial intelligence is, teach and prepare young people for the future.
No thanks having less futuristic individuals as leaders. No thanks, really.

looking for cheap likes and shares. Na grounduts?

Why not use the 300M to pay salary or go for joint venture business that can employ people.

Misplaced priority...is it the same North that they claim food is cheap and you want to still feed them with what?

300m earmarked for looting? Niger delta oil money to be fed to almajiri, those same almajiri, kano state govt said they used to vote a niger deltan out of power

300m earmarked for looting? Niger delta oil money to be fed to almajiri, those same almajiri, kano state govt said they used to vote a niger deltan out of power. And to think there are indigenous christians in kano how come they were not fed at easter

And pls i saw "residents" i'll go this evening i hope they wont ask me to recite the whole quran for a plate of tuwon shinkafa da miyan kuka

Even at Ramadan, I'm doubtful of the sincerity of the Kano state government in ensuring a transparent and equitable sharing of this money.
Better still, won't it be better to hands off religious matters especially for political gain?
