nextprince:

At least the tax payer's money belongs to Kano state and is being expended on Kano state indigenes, rich or poor, but pls kindly tell us what your state's tax payer's money is being expended on.

I'm even surprised you did not add the usual programmed line "our oyel money".

I'm not a Kwankwaso fan and would never want him as president, but common sense tells me he is a current senator of the federal republic of Nigeria representing his Kano state constituents at the NASS; so what exactly is wrong with him bailing out his constituents who are most likely to be Hausa-Fulani Muslims? Or do we expect him as a senator of Kano people to pay for scholarships for Delta State or Anambra students?

If there is anything I know about the man Kwankwaso, it is the fact that he has been a better representative for his constituents than any other senator I know of. He has personally been travelling around the country bailing out his brothers trapped in different police cells (for causing havoc) and lending support/rehabilitation to them in different forms, from Lagos to Osun to Taraba, and this is the least that is expected of a senator.

He is unlike ALL our southern senators who only go to Abuja to stuff their pockets and their bellies and who care less about where they come from. I remember the case of Chinakwe and his Buhari dog who was locked up and we kept wailing and wailing like lost children with no parents/leaders complaining about how Chinakwe would have been released instantly if he was a northerner. Meanwhile Chinakwe had a senator, a rep and a governor who was from his place. But it eventually took a private human rights lawyer to come to his aid before he was released because our leaders down south are all buffoons. Sadly, instead of banging our leaders down south to action, we are more pre-occupied with lamenting about how leaders in the north effectively represent their people. Forgive my long rant!

Those students are not poor. They can call over $10,000 dollars from their Nigerian family in less than 30 minutes if the need arises. As for other states, I will kindly tell you that the beggars and illiterates in Kano is far bigger than most western and eastern states so forget this tax payers illustration because Almost all the Nigerian politians are corrupt birds of the same feathers inresoective of their regions.

Kano taxpayers' money is being spent to send already rich people's children to school in Egypt by Kwankwanso and he wants to create the impression he is actually footing the bill by himself.

Or where would he see such money since he is no longer the governor?

Awoo88:
This is working hard to court the kind of zombie followership buhari enjoys.

Commendable on the part of Kwankwaso but waste of money in my opinion.

If the selection exercise was carried out and the sponsorship given to candidates on merits, I believe there wouldn't have been allegations of poor academic performance.

"30 out of the 37" students have improved.

Improved from what? Someone might have told them to buckle up and justify the tax payers money being spent on them.

That's 81% of the students struggling with the nursing program.

They're not rich people's children.... I knw three in my area that knows nobody and they're among those sponsored to Egypt.

Foreign scholarships during Kwankwaso were without favoritism.

That was another way of looting money..
What happened to Nigerian nursing school..
Dont you think it would have be wiser to save more money, if they were giving the scholarship to study nursing here in Nigeria..
Be Economy wise first.

Stop lying. How some of you sit down and churn out these kind of lies and still go to bed still amazes me.
Do you know any one of them? Do you even know of the programme? How do you feel comfortable with these kind of lies? A person that can call his parents and get $10k searching for govt scholarship to study nursing? How is this even logical to you?
Yes, I'm fully aware of the programme and the selection exercise was on merit, those that scaled their ways through the back doors are the low performing ones that will soon be sent back and let me tell you, rich men in the north don't even bother themselves with govt scholarship because of pride.
Again, the person you quoted asked a simple question; what was his state doing with tax payer's money? He didn't ask which state has any number of beggars.

PTDF and NITDA award foreign scholarships annually. What can you say about that?

Wish her all the best and please encourage her to avoid bad groups. Tell her to tell you the truth about how the rich students live there, most are not from poor homes and am sure you cousin is among the lucky few, once again I wish her all the best.
