KANO DONATES 52 TRUCKS OF RELIEF MATERIALS FOR NIGER REPUBLIC FLOOD HAS NOTHING FOR NIGERIAN VICTIMS
Written by Alaba Johnson with reports from Leadership on 07 October 2012.

The Kano State Government has donated 52truckloads of relief materials to flood victims in neighbouring Niger Republic. There have been floods in other Nigerian states but the Kano State government has not felt the need to assist its fellow country men. This action feeds into the stereotype that states like Kano share more affinity with neighbouring nations like Niger than with their fellow Nigerians calling into question the idea of one Nigeria.

One commentator even said that the Kano state governor did this because "they are his brothers and we are not". It is widely Suspected that Boko Haram terrorists operate out of Niger Republic a suspicion that caused Nigeria's President Jonathan to close the border between Nigeria and Niger. Those
borders remain closed so it is curious that Goverrnor Kwankwaso's 52 trucks passed the border despite the closure making some question what else crosses the border unbeknownst to the Federal Government.

The items include 5,000 bags of maize, 5,000 bags of millet, 5,000 bags of guinea corn, 5,000 blankets, 5,000 pieces of ``Shadda’’ brocade and 5,000 pieces of female textile wax.

Gov. Rabi’u Kwankwaso, who presented the items at Bandirawo, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of the state, said that the donation was aimed at alleviating the suffering of the flood victims.

``The gesture is a way of expressing our appreciation for our relationship with Niger Republic,’’ he said. Kwankwaso, who spoke about the long-
standing relations existing between Kano State and Niger Republic, stressed the need for people to be their brothers’ keepers so as to strengthen
harmonious living. He promised to continue to work with the Nigerien government in efforts to promote socio-economic ties between Kano State and Niger
Republic.

The governor, who noted that many states in Nigeria, including Kano State, were equally affected by floods, stressed that the state government also assisted flood victims in the country with relief materials. Kwankwanso expressed the optimism that the relief materials would cushion the effects of the flood disaster on the victims. He, however, appealed to the people of Kano State, who were living in flood-prone areas, to relocate from the areas to safer places.

The governor said that the state government would reconstruct houses affected by floods in Makoda, Kunchi and Warawa Local Government
Areas.

In his remarks, the former National PDP Chairman, Chief Vincent Ogbulafor, commended the state government’s gesture, saying that the donation would alleviate the sufferings of the flood victims. He, nonetheless, advised the Nigerien authorities to ensure that the items were used for their intended purpose.

Also speaking, Alhaji Umar Saidou-Isiaka, the governor of Zinder in Niger Republic and Alhaji Muhamman Rabi’u, the Emir of Tirmini, also in
Niger Republic, thanked the Kano State Government for its benevolence. They said that the gesture would go a long way in strengthening the cordial relations existing between the people of the state and Niger Republic

the government is MAD

I laugh at one Nigeria, watchout because if the public cry out against this deed they will turn around to donate 5 trucks to all the other states in Nigeria and will gladly tell you that the Governors of those States travelled when they wanted to donate earlier...it is called Sanusi's Strategy of Public Relations.

why are we shouting? an ibo man has nothing in common with an hausa man, a yoruba man has nothing in common with a hausa man except for the forced marriage.just imagine flood in Kogi,Anambra,bayelsa,lagos,Edo etc this outcasts did not do anything but they preferred helping another country. wether na Governor, president,senator, CBN governor, aboki na aboki. it's just like a cat calling a dog broda.mtwwww

All of you making derogatory statements about Nigeria are plain hypocrites. If u dont like Nigeria nobody is forcing u to stay in our beloved NAIJA. LEAVE NOW for good . As for d donation of relief materials to Niger republic, Kano state is free to use its resources anyway it wants. Hyper hypocrites,why do you not criticize d govt of the flood victims' states for not providing relief for their people with all d billions of naira in their coffers.By the way, did u know that Niger Republic is poorer than most of our states.D people of Niger Rep and kano state are one and d same people despite d artificial colonial boundary.

I totaly agree with u

oyb: the government is MAD

Nigerias charity begins abroad

tell,d govenor dat, charity begins at home! why is he behaving like dat now?

Kano State should just join Niger so the problem in Nigeria can start to be less.

oyb: the government is MAD

Charity begins at home not abroad

Tomorow we go dey 19 states northern governors forum. Mr kwankwaso, is Gogi and Benue states no more part of the north to attract ur kind gesture??

HAH: but the truth is that the blood that flows in a kano man is same as those in maradi(Niger) . this people are relative divided by colonialist. kwankwaso is only being a good brothers keeper.

^^^No wahala. Let them leave Nigeria and join up with their cousins in Niger then; they want to eat their cake and still have it. It's clear where their allegiance lies.....and it's also clear that this 'Nigeria project' is a sham that still exists only for the benefit of certain individuals and groups.

One Nigeria... Hahahahahahahahahahah.

A way of deceiving the South, just to partake of the Oil revenue.

His act is a huge disappointment on Islam, a disappointment on the Northern States and Nigeria as a whole.

It calls for concern.

looks like they have excess in kano for them to be donating to anoda country

Nigeria is indeed a mere geography territory. We're just adress as a nation in theory but nothing like that in pratical. Even the scripture said it.. Before you remove a dirt from someone eyes, you need to remove that of yours.

see rigima o, your house de burn you de dash somebody water wey dey scarce!! shege naija

I am sure it is boko haram alliance.

why is nobody seein this d way i am seein it?....''we give you relief materials and in return u give us suicide bombers''...thats simply called FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Kamsy10: Nigerias charity begins abroad

lol

The only way Kano State govt can pay for all the arms shipment to BH is to disguise them as relief materials.

Sanusi donated some millions to Kano state during BH attack. If Kano state is so rich, why do they need CBN donation?
