Abagworo:

I meant "1970" not Kano. I know it's Kano but it is not 1970 photo.

For the year, I can't say.

Reference:


you don't mean it. How did he manage that. Kai, these politicians eh...

To be Frank, I can't say. Maybe he bought the building or he rent it. I do know that he also a secondary school in Abj.

Abagworo:
This photo is definitely not Kano

Lol. It is definitely Kano, that skyscraper u are seeing is the headquarters of Bank of the North. The building is now use as Skyline University building own by Kwankwaso.

He was sharing 15k yesterday for mobilization by agent ward then we knew something is up. Up wake midnight by a call and get to know election is postponed. Dont mind that man

Every party do pay their party agents. Is there anything wrong with that?

louken:
This looks like a more balanced team unlike the U20 squad that was selected based on nepotism

This look more like a balance team??.
Are u sure with what you are saying or is it just that bigotry has blinded you?

nnatobryno:
If this story is anything to believe, I will only say the SSG just bared his mind, I dont see anything wrong about it, these guys should stop dragging us into religious war.

Ignorant poo. Hatred has beclouded your brain that u can't think straight anymore. It is such a pity.

gozzlin:



Fallacy!

The north is only better in the aspect of roads. Oil money from the south is used to build high quality roads for the northerners. Aside that, the northerners do not have any outstanding infrastructure. All their houses are mostly mud houses and bungalows at most. You'll be hard pressed to find a storey building in the north. The few storey buildings there were built by Igbos.

Chaiiiiiiiiii, easy with the lies naaaaaa. Haba. Are u talking about the North that I know or another one? Are u speaking from side of ignorance, sheer hatred or just propaganda? Habaaaaa, this is how most of you give false info about the North. Imagine saying mud houses and hard pressed to find storey buildings, chaiiiiii, �������������������, this your lie can wake the death.
Just in Kano alone, have u been to Nassarawa GRA, Bompai, Red bricks, Sabon Abuja in Kuntau, Hotoro, NNDC quarters and many many more areas I can't list here, guy, go check houses there and u will be awed.

Good one Pope Francis for visiting Islamabad

He is not visiting Islamabad, he is visiting the UAE, United Arab Emirates, Islamabad is a state in Pakistan. Islamabad means House of Islam in Urdu language.

Hermes019:

Barca has made some poor transfer decisions in recent times,from Alexandre song to Jeremy Mathieu Vermalaen and now Boateng,I don't know why they have a penchant for buying outdated players,a team like Barca should attract the best players in each position,what is wrong with them moving for icardi or reus if they want an attacker,in the midfield you have Adrien rabiot who is certain of leaving PSG,Pjanic is also there u can tempt him away from Juve,what did they see in Boateng that other teams didn't see ?

Barca won't buy Icardi because of Messi. It is going to be a problem cos they are not in good term.

Auladimeji:
Yes in term of violent, remove north from Nigeria, we are safe than Americans

And FYI, North is even more safer than the south. Ask me for reasons and I will kindly give you.

IntrovertedK:
You've said nothing. Absolutely nothing. Have you seen Boko Haram operate down South? It's totally impossible. Everyone in Northern Nigeria supports this Boko Haram and it can never be totally quenched. Because they shield them most of the times. So Nigeria been led by a Northern Muslim man wouldn't fight them like they should be fought. And as for regional government, why that? When state have the ability to control their military and security to some extent. So what's the use of regional government again? If any southern state in Nigeria is suffering from any form of insecurity, the governor should be blame cuz they have acess to state security to some extent. Thanks.

Liar. Shove your lies, bigotry and hypocrisy down ur ass. Who told who everyone in the North support BH? If everyone in the North support BH, this nation would have been hotter than this. A lot of people especially clerics have been killed cos they speak against BH. I live in the North, so I know what goes round. Curses upon curses has been heap on them by the northerners and who do think even help the army in decimating the BH many times if not the northerners. U guys will just stay in the comfort of your one bedroom face me I slap you and be spewing thrash.

oluwafrosh65:
fulani goes, another fulani comes in

FYI, not everybody in the North is Hausa or fulani. Both the outgoing IG and incoming IG are not fulani but yes they are both northerner or should I say middle belt or North Central and also Muslim but definitely not fulani. Outgoing IG is a Nupe man from Niger and the incoming is from a minority tribe in the North.

Awoo88:
The line about teni not having any power to back a a lie! So many people heard about her after her fall out with devido. She rode on the fame of fire fire to launch herself.

Nope, she started making a mark in the industry when she release that song title "fargin", that was when people start to get to know her, before she even write the track "like dat" for Davido.

Fyi0:

Oga keep quiet. Don't say what you don't know. I'm a pharmacy student. Postinor doesn't cause infertility/bareness.

Taking postinor regularly however could cause frequent changes in menstrual cycle and flow like :

Menses coming too early or too late
Heavy menstrual flow or scanty flow
Menses comes to frequent than usually
Severe menstrual pain

Postinor is an emergency contraceptive and is ideally taken once in a month (menstrual cycle).

But that's all, it doesn't cause infertility.

Nice information but u shouldn't have start that way, we aren't kid here, behave maturely pls.
OK, but I thought frequent use of it do damage womb. I read it somewhere that it can cause womb cancer, or ectopic pregnancy or infertility when use too much.
But still guy, u guys should be protecting yourself. Life no get double.

GOFRONT:


My Gf takes postino2 like paracetamol

She is killing her womb gradually and you are not doing anything to help her out by using condom or abstaining completely. You are a selfish man. Later now, u will say u won't marry her cos her womb maybe ineffective. God will judge you.

Kano is the capital of drug addicts.

During fasting, Abuja beer joints are empty because majority of their patrons are muslims.

Northern Muslims now smoke lizard shit aside popping tramadol and downing codeine.

Even your muhajadunces in Boko Haram are known to get high on amphetamines before going on their jihadist raids

U are lying and u know it. Taking drugs is different from taking alcohol, but they are all bad and sin in Islam. Everyone know that Christians are the one that consumed alcohol more. Even statistics prove that.

darfay:
Nobody drink alcohol/burukutu reach this hypocrites

This is a fat lie and u know it. Stop lying pls, it makes you look ridiculous.

As a music journalist, (and critic. Don’t forget critic.) one street proverb captures the expected reactions to my work; “Na who the thing reach, na him go talk say they share am well.” People will react to whatever you say based on whether it favours them or not. In my experience, when you praise people, they lap it up unreservedly. But when you highlight their shortcomings, or point out spaces for improvement, you become enemy number one.

Phyno called me a Tribal Fool. It’s an accusation I find very interesting. I am half-Igbo, half-Annang. My mom is from Abia State, and I have lived in Ebonyi State, have a family in old Umuahia, and schooled in Okigwe, Imo State for most of my formative years. I also speak Igbo Izugbe (General Igbo). I can’t be tribalistic to a tribe that I have equity in. No way.

I am a tribal fool because I did what I do on the regular. I find new ways to sieve the culture and amplify the parts of it that are deserving of it. Almost all the time, I lean towards the light and illuminate the successes of musicians. Artists work really hard at their craft. They toil day and night, fervently praying that their creativity finds a home in your heart. They desperately hope that their music connects and the art will feed them. For many, artistry is a ladder to wealth, and if it leads them to their desires, they become successful. When it doesn’t, they strategize again, and push on. It’s a game of repeated trials here. There are losers and winners in this game. The winners are the ones who ‘blow’. The losers don’t get to blow, and with time, pivot from the art when reality hits them that isn’t working, or if the need to earn money for survival trump their burning desire to make art. To earn from their creative medium.

Phyno is a winner. I am familiar with his story. From Enugu (O42), where he worked as a producer, singer and rapper. I danced with joy at ‘Multiply’, and have followed the journey through ‘Ghost mode’, his debut and sophomore albums and the singles after that. His story is particularly amazing because he found a way to make Igbo rap work mainstream. And he’s never looked back.

But 2018 hasn’t been his most effective year. Phyno’s music failed to make a strong dent on mainstream conversations. Did he put in the work? Yes. Did he find pockets of happiness and sunshine from his home base? Yes. But is that enough for a mainstream artist? No.

Phyno represents two things for Igbos. He is their number one rapper, and one of their pop luminaries who took elements of their culture and reimagined it for the future. Where Nigga Raw tried, Phyno surmounted and became a superstar. Also, when you look at representation in the pop space, Phyno carries the hopes and pride of the Igbo nation. Where the West can lean into Olamide as a symbol of their art, Phyno leads the East. It is this love and devotion that comes from his cultural relevance, that makes them so protective of him. It is also why he can fill up stadiums with relative ease. When he puts out a call for a concert in the East, it isn’t entertainment. It is a cultural demand for celebration. He inspires a movement that is bigger than him. He needs to be protected at all cost!

2018 hasn’t been his best year. I have seen arguments championing his purchase of a Rolls Royce. Congratulations to him. But that is strictly his business. It’s his car. Let him drive happily.

What is of concern to the public is his music. That’s what he shares with everyone. Collaborations with Wale, Kranium and Tekno have not catapulted him into the top 20 pop musicians of the year. This year, nobody can mention the hottest acts, and look the way of Phyno. He hasn’t performed at his characteristic level. The problem here isn’t that he’s lost it. It just did not work this year.

The arguments on his music state that he was imperious in the East. Thanks, but ruling the East is his bare minimum. If he farts on a record, it is expected that his home base call it the number one fart on iTunes. Musicians are generally supposed to do well in their region. The main problem here is that people think it is enough for a pop artist to limit his influence to his home states. If Phyno wanted to be a regional champion, he wouldn’t have crossed the Niger, into Lagos for ‘Ghost mode’ to happen. His ambition still remains national and continental. His expected glory is more inclusive. Kanye West getting reception in Chicago isn’t growth. If that isn’t spread around the world, he will fire his team for ‘failure’.

Here’s how growth works in music: You start out from a place. You secure that spot. You expand. You secure. You expand some more, and you secure some more. Losing distance and returning to square one isn’t growth. It’s either a sign of a loss, or an insane technical victory. Phyno held down the East. That means his art was only potent at home. It means he has more work to do, and a new strategy to devise. I want that to happen. Phyno is too talented and lit to not be playing at the highest. At this stage, his aspiration should be taking Igbo rap global. Going back home for any reason in music is romantic, but it doesn’t equate to growth and advancement.

Also, all this talk about decentralising the industry is tribal bullshit. Lagos is the hub of African music for many reasons. Everywhere along the lines of Nigeria, music is made in pockets and silos. Lagos is where it goes mainstream. Duncan Mighty, for all his voltroning about Port Harcourt, had to return back to this jungle city for access to the big leagues in 2018. Zoro, another Eastern rap luminary, is still reworking his strategy to blow in this city. You know why? Because everyone wants to perform at the highest level of their craft. Lagos is that highest level. Ask any musician around you. They pray day and night for any sunlight from here. This year, an artist from the East offered to wash my car every day if only I can give him contacts to flourish in this city. Bro, people are very desperate.

It’s easy to see why. The professionals are here. Access to international airports is here. The media is here. The biggest concerts happen here. The money is here, so also are the opportunities for growth. Lagos will continue to be our version of Hollywood for a long time. Why would anyone, not want to be here? Do you just like sufferhead that much?

Nigeria’s music industry is actually decentralised. But there’s very little money for the pop musicians that aren’t in Lagos or Abuja.

The only positive here is that Phyno’s fans want the best for him. They want him to win. That’s why they came for me. That love creates an emotion that is so powerful that you can wish death on another person because of music. Frankly, I wish I had that total surrender to anybody. But sadly, no. I have a job to do.

Phyno isn’t washed up or a bad artist. He’s just not had his best year. The good news is that 2018 is gone, and everyone’s slate is wiped clean again. Here’s to wishing that in December 2019, he would be completely beyond criticism. That his music would be more impactful and garner extended acceptance. Perhaps he will make a victory record named ‘Tribal Fool’ to celebrate his earth-shaking success.

I very much would like that.

Shia and sunni can continue to kill themselves after all the Quran support them to do

but why draw Christians into the bloodshed

False nigger, conspiracy theorist, propagandist : all these are what you are.
Holy Quran never support bloodshed, and the fight between sunni and Shia is political and every upright mind know that.
The Christians affected are just unfortunate

Mystick:
With their Sharia and religious extremists, that is how the Northern Nigeria will look like if Nigeria eventually divides into Southern and Northern Nigeria as separate Nations.

What about South with their ritualism, baby factory, fraud, armed robbery, militancy and other vices?
Remove the speck in ur eyes before removing the log in another person's eyes.

Funkybabee:
Anything north is backward...so Sorry to say this my northern people!!!

Yeah, just as North America, Northern Europe, Awka North, Orumba North are all bad.

troublemakea:


Good for them. .....it's a pay back to those innocent blood of Christian they spilled all cause of a demonic jihad

I just hope more Iraqi's die to multi double the amount of Christians blood they've spilled

Guy, u get sense at all? I doubt that. From ur comment, u are no different from a terrorist also. And FYI, the fight in Iraq is between Shia and Sunni not with Christians, but Christians are affected also.

Vtrd:
Let us officially welcome Iraq to the civilised world.

It seems America literally bombed sense into them.

So, declaring 25 Dec as public has now make Iraq a civilised world
If we are to use your ideology, then USA is not a civilised country since it has not yet recognise sallah day as public holiday.
And mind you, America never bombed sense into them but sentiments, intolerance, poverty, famine, diseases and create more terrorists and terrorism into them.

franchasng:
even in that same Kano, we have more number of self made southern millionaires and billionaires, example in Sabon Geri alone.

You can't even compare the insignificant number u are referring to with 0.1% of self made young southerners u don't ever hear about who are in Ladipo spare parts market Lagos, Alaba Intl Market Lagos, Lagos Island/Mandilas, Computer Village, Onitsha main market, Nnewi Intl Spare Parts market, Aba, etc.

Have you ever asked, who are these Igbo people that useless Kidnapper Evans was kidnapping from Ladipo spare market and they paid $2million ransom, some paid billions and nobody even know them or their business or company, so leave matter okay lol.


So don't go there. I am talking about popular and well known rich northerners, name them bro

Just as I tell you, northerners no dey make noise. They just watch. Lol.
And stop that lie pls, nobody pay any ransom in billions. Una Don start with una hype be dat as usual.

franchasng:
I know some of them cos I transact business with some, and I can boldly tell you that when u dig deeper, u will then discover that they have a politically connected brother or uncle or relative who invested and helping to push government contracts to them.

Bros I know them more than you do....I have lots of them as Biz associates okay, they are all linked to politicians and retired army top officers okay.

.



I say come to kano and I will show you who made their money without any political connections. There are many silent billionaires in kano. They just don't make noise.

franchasng:
Bros name one popular rich northerner that is self made millionaire or billionaire who is not a politician, not born into a political family, who has never served as a head of Nigerian government agency or body, who is not a retired army officer, and not a retires Nigerian government civil servant, name them

Just name 10.

Let me name some popular young self made southern millionaires without any political connection or family background or military background:

1. Linda Ikeji

2. Seun Osewa

3. Wizkid

4. E-money

Some I may have forgotten their name but I can tell you the companies and startups they own; but u can hardly count same for northerners.

Without politics, military and government, northerners are doomed

Niger Delta crude oil is what made 99.9% of rich northerners rich, u know it, don't argue it

Lol. Hahaha haha. Guy, North don't make noise, they are just too Conservative. Even the e-money and Linda ikeji u mentioned above do have some elements of political connection, it is a secret that is open. Someone mentioned on instabog9ja yesterday that e-money was given a concession in lagos port for ten years which is where he is making his huge money from. Most rich people in all over the world have one or two politic connections in one way or the other for the success of their business.

franchasng:
Why should northerners show off Is it their money Why will northerners that make money mostly through politics and looting government fund show off

99% of rich northerners became rich through politics, political contracts and favors, and then military.

Name one rich northerner that didn't make money through politics or have something to do with political connection and help

Even Dangote became so rich through family ties with politicians and the favors he got from Nigerian politicians. There are no self made millionaires and billionaires in the north, they are all rich through looting Niger Delta oil using politics and military

Don't ever go there comparing southerners and northerners that rely on government and politics to become somebody.

Timaya worked hard to earn his money without any political connection, so let him show it off cos he is a showbiz artistes and showing off is part of how they make more money

Guy, u need to leave that cave you lived in and travel out to experience more about others. There are tons of northerners who don't any connection at all with politics and are f##King rich. Just come to kano and see. Enter Challawa or bompai or sharada industrial areas and see for yourself. Enter kwari, singa or dawanau or sabon gari or yankura market and see northerners making millions. Come to kano and I will take u round and show you billionaires that has no any connection with politics.

Xano:

Golden Tulip is a 5 Star hotel

Five star indeed!!! Do u guys know what five star hotel means? Don't overhyped pls as usual

Anita01:
where can I Christian stay in Kano

U can stay in Sabon gari (Igbos and Yoruba dominated, but especially Igbos.) Other tribes are there also and there are lot of churches there, from redeem, covenant, ecwa, C and c, methodist, Catholic, Anglican, name them. Sabon gari has the largest population of Christians in kano. U can also try badawa, brigade(but this one is ghetto ooooo, lol). There are calm areas also with mixture of educated Muslims and Christians like Nassarawa GRA, Red bricks, Shagari quarters, Naibawa. And many others.

aadoiza:


Of course I'm aware of the good security the North has got to offer. I'm getting some training in auto repair, but don't know if Kano would be a great place to launch myself in this new career path of mine.

Auto repair, u mean mechanic for cars? If it is that, u have no problem with that area, cos it is a huge business in kano. U can go into selling of spare part which has a main headquarters in Kofar ruwa and dominated by both the Igbos and hausas but especially the Igbos. U can also go into repair in which there are hundreds or even thousands of garages spread around in kano metropolis, which is especially dominated by the Yorubas, but the hausas are also going into it now little by little.
Major cars that are being repair here in kano are Honda, then Toyota,(Japanese cars), Peugeot, Mercedes benz and others also. Auto repair is a huge business here: panel beating, electric works, alignments, paint and others.
Have some friends that are into it.

aadoiza:

Guy, I have loved the North ever since my NYSC days in gida dubu, dutse, jigawa. Kano is actually my target, just don't know how to relocate there.

U can relocate if you want. Business is moving on very fine. There are many cosmopolitan areas u can stay if u don't want to stay in core Hausa areas. Housing is cheap, cost of living is OK and security is guaranteed.
