Wow... Am impressed by the level of development in kano... Federal presence is big there too

Majority of what I posted are built by state government not Federal.

Antipob777:
Join all the Five south East state, they are not quarter to kano state.

Ipobs will never show face on this thread.

The North far developed than the SE. No wonder if you go to onitsha and Aba together with owerri you see many hungry people and beggars.

PMB has performed very well and come 2019, he has our votes.

A minute silence for our late Dilector Cownu the pig and coward.

I am yet to see Buhari single work in Kano.

victorazyvictor:
President of the north

No Buhari single work in Kano yet.

fuckboys:
lies brother, only cool fm and wazobia broadcasts in English, all other stations are hausa. I stay in Kano, nomansland so spare me your lies

All station broadcast news in English. Believe it or not.

Wazobia do not broadcast in English but pidgin.

Amarabae:
Believe this pictures at your own peril.
This is just 3% of the whole of Kano.
I know Kano very well.

Epain nam.

badboywizzy:
at least you have agreed many of ur LGAs are under developed. I rest my case.

Atleast you agreedyour state is a village when compared to Kano. I rest my case.

2cato:
With all these Yet kano produce the highest amount of beggers and almajiri per state? I shake my head. Kai baba.
Why not show us the picture of beggers and almajiri on row call
What about the longest bridge build by gej

Gej did not build any longest flyover.

badboywizzy:
Just say Kano is a commercial city and leave all these plenty talks.

Kano is a place to farm, buy farm produce and sell your goods. Among the 44 local governments only few are developed. Others are filled with mud houses and a large number of people who can't speak english.

If not for cool fm and wazobia who broadcast in english, i doubt if one can be be able to listen to radio stations in Kano since most of the OAPs of other stations and callers communicate in hausa.

No social life except if you go to town were igbo's dominate.

No betting stores, bear parlours, churches, etc except in the town were igbo's dominate.

Tell me if all local government in your village state are developed.

Regarding english, all radio station broadcast news in English. Wazobia is not english station but Pidgin (Hausa Yoruba Igbo and occasionally India and Chinese)

Are you the 1 selling or are you recommending?

2. Audu Bako Zoological Garden Nigeria's No 1 Zoo and Second in Africa


" I am surprised to hear from a lot of people, including those who call themselves elites criticizing my idea of establishing a zoo or game reserve and not only that but also making it an item of mockery. I am openly condemning such people as people without foresight and wisdom. I am glad to say that there are not many of them in Nigeria for otherwise, general progress would have been slow. "

“ In the name of God, I declare the Kano Zoological Garden open for the general public of Nigeria and anybody from outside the country, and I pray that it will serve mankind forever. To the people of Kano State, I hand to you this zoo as an object of pride. Please hold it as an egg. May God help us. Thank you. ”-- His Excellence Late. Alhaji Audu Bako RahimahulLAH
