Sad.

Do we really need to pray for Kano?

In Ebeneezer Baba Tope's voice....Make una beg Mallam Sanusi..

NwaNimo1:
Hopefully now Northerners will start listening....

They will never listen except a religious leader interprets the events to them.

Does it even matter?

Since a Covid-19 death is regarded as martyrdom in Islam

Kanoooo

The 'strange sickness' chose one week to kill over a thousand? Its definitely not adding up, Self deceit, living in denial, ohh Kano
Your people are going and you see it as normal,
Why?
This is coro, accept it and deal with it please
Leave politics aside, leave corruption aside, its time to be human please.

relax, Sanusi head dey fight, 1 down

Announcing "the results" indeed

Truth be told the deceit of d Kano State govt initially denying about d mysterious death and when he belatedly admitted rather linked it with meningitis, b.p and diabetes was a missed opportunity. While NCDC are calling on public spirited individuals to donate their buildings for isolation centre Gandollar rejected Kwakwanso's donation of his hospital for same purpose possibly he thinks everything is politics. Now d Emir has died and watch d crowd dat will attend d burial. He has died with his VIVID 19 status possibly not tabulated. Imagine d number of persons that have come in contact with him b4 n after death. Banishing Sanusi might turn out to be a blessing to avoid d next epicentre Kano. Oh Lord heal our land.

Rip Emir.

I hope this isn't covid19
