We don't recognize the listed above here. That's how Kano want to use those millions and so be it.

PrecisionFx:


There's nothing conservative about the north.

Sharing foods doesn't win any elections in Nigeria. Theres a simple basis for voting in Nigeria......TRIBE AND RELIGION.

Simple.

Did you just mention religion? Now go back and comprehend what the feeding is all about! Ciao.

BlackManta:


Some of these things you accuse muslims of have been done by christians in the south.

Akwa Ibom state government is building an 8500 capacity mega church.

Lagos state once funded christians pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Islam is not the only problem.
Christianity has contributed it's own share of problems.
Both religions are guilty.

Nigeria is better off without religion.
We need total secularisation.

Ogbeni....
Would your ancestors be educated if not for christian missionaries?
Churches today are the second highest owners of hospitals in this country.
Churches are still one of the highest NGO funders of orphanages. Including Rehab and centers for the elderly
Thousands of Nigerians currently school at church universities.
So pls don't talk about what you don't know.
The case of Akwa Ibom building a church is isolated. But I can assure you that the church has given to Akwa Ibom more than Akwa Ibom has given to the church.

The Kano State Government is to spend N345m on feeding the less priviledged during the Ramadan season.

The state Commissioner of Information, Youth and Culture, who is also the state chairman Ramadan feeding monitoring committee Malam Muhammad Garba disclosed this while flagging off this year’s Ramadan feeding programme at the premises of Kano printing press.

The commissioner disclosed that the administration sustained the annual feeding programme in order to alleviate the suffering of the less privileged in the state.

He said the committee would monitor the preparation and distribution of the meals to ensure the success of the feeding programme.

Malam Garba warned that the state would not hesitate to cancel the contract of any cook or distributor found to be sabotaging the programme.

The commissioner appealed to the wealthy people in the state to complement government’s effort by contributing their own quota to ensure the success of the programme.

Food items distributed for the first 10 days for 130 centres include 3000 bags of rice, 1170 bags of millet, 780 bags of flour, 1170 bags of sugar, 1950 cartons of macaroni, 2340 Jerry cans of groundnutoil, 780 Jerry cans of palm oil, 390 bags of dates among others.

Each centre will be receiving N10,000 daily for the purchase of cooking ingredients for the whole month of Ramadan.

Why are you shifting the goal post

You accused Northeners of building Mosques and funding pilgrimage with government money.
You also claimed that such things does not happen in the South

A BALANT LIE !

I corrected you by providing proof of Akwa Ibom government building Mega Church and Lagos state funding pilgrimage.

Instead of you to admit that you posted a BALANT LIE in your first post, you started talking about missionaries.

Trying to justify Akwa Ibom govt. Spending billions of naira...government money in building mega church

How low can you get

There is something called...Separation of Church and State.

Government is a secular body.
A secular body should not build mega church with state money.

IT IS WRONG.

Call a spade a spade and stop trying to justify medocrity.

How many youths are employed in Akwa Ibom state
How many pensioners have been paid
What about infractructural development

But a state government is building mega church with tax payers money and you are trying to justify it

IT IS WRONG.

You claim that churches have done more for Akwa Ibom than the state government

Where did you get your statistics

Prove it

Or did you make that up from your head

Stop trying to justify medocrity.

Nigeria is neither a christian nor muslim country.
Nigeria is secular.

Therefore....state government building Mosques and Churches with state money is 100% wrong.

Admit it.

IT IS WRONG.

You cannot bash Northern states for building Mosques with government money and then turn around and applaud Akwa Ibom for spending government money on mega church.

That is sheer HYPOCRISY.

You are being sentimental to your religion.
Drop sentiments and apply common sense.

Let them spent billions to feed these children on the street, it will not stop begging after the celebration. This money could be use to educate these people dropping their sperm any how on Child spacing.

Hahahahaha!!

We wish every state work for their money

You see this is the difference between the north and the south- lazy yoots, the north are a group of people who believe in social welfare- govt marries wives for them and gives them 100k, as settlement - govt cook for them during Ramadan, govt pay for their hajj trips, now this is the reason why when they find themselves in any govt office they steal, they give birth to thousands and pour them on the streets as almajiri's let the society or govt take responsibility for the children, rubbish - even the educated among them can't see this fact because they believe its the norm, and that's the way life is everywhere or should be - one day is one day

HeyCorleone:
I'm not really into kitchen budgets and stuff like that, but it's obvious 345milla is too much just for 30 days na. Ahn ahn. Haba.

The first thing is Muslims don't understand the concept of fasting. It's not enough to load yourself with food morning and night. Then the essence is lost. You can't eat to stupor morning and night and tell me you're fasting during the day. Nay. Now they are spending almost half a billion on feeding folks.

Do they have access to clean drinkable water? Or shelter? How about roads? Schools? Health care facilities? But 345mill on feeding people like it's their last meal on earth? But I'm not surprised. The Northerners are uneducated so they won't notice the imbalance in this.

You, You, ehn you..........Oversabi dey worry you

Is this kind of practice fair n acceptable in a diverse secular country like Nigeria?.

theenchanter:
but I think the govt can do better than this for its people n not for political reasons.

We too dey politicize things for this country.

this is the best political strategy

Afobear:
brother ,come let's claim gay patners and site persecution . If you are serious, I'm

iru omo wo was leyi, I don't understand

I don't know why you are all just full of hatred. Majority of people in kano are Muslim, so what is the big deal in government of the states supporting their belief by probiding
Food. Even here in Cyprus during Ramadan, there are lot of places to eat for free. You all are still the reason why Nigeria is still like that and why it is difficult to get better.. hypocrisy and tribalism at the highest level

tuniski:

That is how the conservative north operates. This can win elections you know!

You can't generalise. El rufai stopped it in kaduna, because He also believes in teaching the people how to fish. As a Muslim, I would advocate for a system where instead of just creating feeding centers, the Government should utilize the manpower to do menial jobs for Government like cleaning roads, clearing refuse dumps, waterways, and so on. By doing that, the monies earmarked should be monetized and given to these people and they feed themselves.

On point! However we know how it is done in the conservative north. Anyway, Kaduna is not a classic conservative northern state!

theenchanter:
In-as-much as I'm not against feeding the less privilege, but why would a govt spend such money on feeding people for fasting?? Just 30days? Is fasting not a personal relationship with God, why would the govt interfere with religion?? If u want to alleviate poverty, why not empower them n not just feed them for 30days pere?

Mynd44 and lalasticlala...... what do u think about this?

wetin concerns you?amebo,eye service

kelvinreality:


It has ravaged her citizens in the North, swindled her resources while trying to fight Insurgency.

Above all, religion is putting this nation at a cul de sac point.

which state that is not feeding its citizens,is better than kano that is feeding its people.

zombieTRACKER:
That's how they waste scarce resources

those who did not waste it,what are they using it for?make una mind una business abeg .

i hope they will release another one for Christmas day and Easter and all other christian celebration or holiday... its suppose to be a government for everyone and not for the Muslims alone.... is that not what democracy is all about?............... you should not have anything to do with religion........

Feeding them does not help, empower them
