They are saying they can’t comment on a case that’s already in court. So, all the times they were commenting on Sambo Dasuki’s case, he wasn’t actually in court? Please someone tell me who is paying these peoples’ salary? Cos this is abject stupidity by grown up people. Secondary school graduates at the age of 16-14years will come with better response than this.

oga your head too correct, i pity some countries, very soon they will start showing them pepper by cutting their aids to them.

The aid that these corrupt government officials are stealing and never reach us the masses. Is that one aid?

And one of the biggest reason this resolution is all out against America is because America sent a letter to each embassy trying to blackmail independent countries that if they vote against them the aid to them will be cut. And they even went ahead to threaten the UN itself by saying it will cut the financing of the UN.

America knows what they are doing here is wrong but they dont want to look bad in front of other nations while doing it. Because the UN resolution wont and cant stop them from recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital. They can do as they wish.

But come to think of it... The problem is not this. Dont you think the Muslim countries like Palestine, Iran and Turkey will rise up to this. And before you know it, it may be a full blown atomic war that the UN cant control too..
It may be the beginning of the end of the world.

For the sake of peace, this Trumps move is a mistake for sure. Religious and settlement crisis are not cool at all.

People come in from Niger Republic to Nigeria by road to buy goods and return back home. Where this train is terminating from kano is called Jibia. You only need 50 naira from jibia to cross the border.
And this is not even Buhari's plan. It was pdp-s. Buhari is just continuing what they started.

My Emir ( HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi ), as a kano citizen, is a man who likes adressing controversial topics bothering the society we all live in now called Nigeria. I respect him for that.

But i want all of you to understand one thing; not what all he says is right just because he was a whistle-blower in the President Jonathan regime and i have my reasons for that. Religion which is a societal issue is playing a little role in the backwardness of not just the north but the whole of Nigeria. All these problems are economical believe me.

First of all, if you look at the population of the north, and you understand the indexes of the unemployed which are basically the poor people, considering the population, you will come to know that almost same amount of people are employed across the whole states of Nigeria apart from Lagos and Abuja. So if its 25% of the people in kano are employed, the number of people will cover up the 85% working class in Akwa ibom.

Secondly, fundamentalist islam of the 13th century that he said the north is practicing has nothing to do with the backwardness of the place. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar (the richest country on the planet), etc all practice Shariah law and they are not as backward as the whole Africa is.

Thirdly, population has nothing to do with it. Population is even a blessing to any country thats willing to work and progress as a nation. At kadinvest, his alkyabba(tradtitional attire) was falling off his body and he said and i quote "its actually made in china" and everyone laughed. If China are not as populous as they are the traditional attire on him wont come at the affordable price he purchased it for.

The problem of the north and Nigeria as a whole is not societal, it is economical. And you dont need to be educated to be part of the working class. In any company, you have the higher staffs (managers, directors, etc) and the lower ones ( the labourers), which are mostly uneducated.

IF there are enough jobs, 80% of the beggars on the streets wont be begging.
IF there are enough jobs, and enough manufacturing companies, we wont have to go to China to buy the clothes to sell to the emir.
IF there are all of these things, we wont have Boko Haram and other people bombing our pipelines.

If you go to a place like America, the private sector contributes almost 70% to the economy of the country. What we need in Nigeria as a whole is not the government to build schools for us, give us jobs, give us the best infrastructure. They cant do that all alone. We need peope to invest and there are rich Nigerian such as the Emir of kano himself who can invest and create jobs for people. If you steal Nigeria's money, enjoy the luxury and do whatever you want but please and please invest the money in your own province. Dont take it to switzerland or America to hide and later you go to them and seek help and then they will take your own money and help you with it and then you steal the money again and take it back to them and the cycle continues. PLEASE INVEST the money here.

God bless the Federal Republic Of Nigeria
God bless us all

Its funny you say im blabbing and you could not cite one source that justified the fraudulent population the north is using to rob Nigeria of her resources.

If you must know, my grandfather had 53 children and my dad had 15 from two marriages. Has that justified extra 5 million added to my state overnight?
The north already had a slight advantage in the region structure if Nigeria. But Fulani generals killed Nigeria by taking the greed to the extreme by creating countless states, LGAs in the north and awarding them fictitious population figures just to corner Nigeria money to the north. That is the root of all the crisis ib nigetia today .

Fulanis are doing to other peoples resourcesbwgat they would never tolerate. In time people will decide to fight fir their rights unless the cheating in Nigeria stops by allowingvus to be a truly federal republic of nigeria ib practice

True, but believe me, kano is huge and i have been to alot of places in Nigeria. In terms of population, the only state that you can compare to kano is Lagos.

And what am trying to tell you is that if kano is not the most populous state in Nigeria as of now, then its the second most populous state in nigeria definitely.

And believe me brother the fictious allocations that you are saying the north collects is nothing compared to what the south collects and you know it.

And you shouldnt be bothered about all these things. Nigeria is facing a bigger problem than this. I was watching Kadinvest yesterday and i heard that the Federal Government's budget of about 7 trillion naira. 66% of it is for payment of interest on loans the federal government had collected over the years. And we are left with just 34 percent to be used for salaries and the development of the nation. And this 34% will be funded by loans too. ARE WE MOVING FORWARD AS A NATION? NOOO.

These kind of things are the bigger problems we face not all of that.

Ndukings92:
women and there unending problems,i always tell my friends that no man can be happy shouting at his wife not to talk of beating so make una stop pushing them to d brim and extreme.they are human for christ sake and are prone to get angry and when d anger reach to its apex which they will invent a manual reset named SLAP but when ur problems are stronger and need a system FLASHING then BEATING is used instead SLAP.Then una go name am ABUSIVE MARRIAGE.whatever that ur matrimony is not conversant with pls stop it this nowadays girls.mtschweeeeee

Am sorry boss but whatever situation, you cannot beat a woman. And there is no condition to beat or slap a woman. I dont think its right in any manner.

If you she frustrates you, find something different to do. If you cant do that, ask yourself why are you even a man if you cannot control your anger?

If you feel she is doing you something wrong, sit her down, talk to her. If you are tired of talking, find other ways like talking to her parents, or her guardians, or people she respect.

And at the long period if all these things are not working. You either suck it all up and stay with her because of the love you have for your kids not wanting them to lose their mom or divorce.

A woman is like a little child:; Acting up without thinking of the consequences, and beating wont change them. So you beating her is like bringing yourself not to her level but below her level of thoughts.

God bless us all.

Google is now DPR right?
In case you don't know, google is just a search engine that brings out anything people have put there.
People like you will devote time to put false information there. That is why people always ask for "official" sources for anything data. To avoid people like you deceiving them. I am not the only one that knows northerners used their army boys (Heads Of State) to help themselves out with ownership of southern oil fields in multiple rounds of oil block awards. The same way their army boys distorted the structural balance of Nigeria by mass creating States and LGAs in the north just to use them as extra plates to collect oil money. The worst part is that after they created these places, they suddenly inflated their populations to make sure they were awarded giant amounts of money. Former Kano state (Kano + Jigawa) was smaller in population than Lagos. Everyone knows Lagos receive the highest influx of people from all parts of Nigeria and West Africa. Yet as soon as Jigawa was created from Kano, they inflated the number so much that the population of the two states was almost double of Lagos instantaneously !!! Now tell me where all the sudden new people that emerged in the Old Kano state (Kano +Jigawa) suddenly appeared from? Dead people resurrected or goats and chickens delivered human beings? I won't even be surprised if you claimed special goats and chickens capable of delivering humans exist in fulani land. You see why Nigeria is a laughing stock of the world?

Keep deluding yourself that anyone is believing your pranks.

You know what is the funny thing about people like you?.
All the points you will present to people will be on mere propaganda. People like you are called propagandists.

Do you have any idea that if this is an exam, you will fail woefully? You are just blabbering with no sources bro. If you want to defend yourself in an argument you come with a valid source bro. If not you will die a propagandist, which is not cool.

This list you are seeing may not be accurate but believe it or not, its 90% right. I am from the north and all the people from the north that are known to the people to own oil blocs are on this list. Read it carefully.

And the population thing you are talking about from kano being the most populous state in nigeria not true. I dont want to say you are blatantly misguided because i still dont know your source. May be you will provide it later. But let me just give you a little example which is true. My grandfather has 10 children with my dad the second born out of the ten. My dad is married to 2 women and he has 9 kids now, with his second wife pregnant. His older brother has 4 wives and 32 children. My dads immediate younger brother has 16. So in just our family you can squeeze out more than 100 people and believe me we are a small family in kano. I think the best solution is the federal government should let you lead the next census for you to witness.

Oil producing states. 13% derivation from that. Highest in terms of federal allocations to states, huge IGRs, lesser people. And still you are blaming northerners for your mischief. The moment you wake up and realise that the people to blame are your governors and representatives in the national assembly, the better. Ask them where is your money?, challenge them in courts, protest, and dont vote for even a local government chairman (our son, our son) again if he is not bringing any infrastructural development to your area.

God bless us all bro.

Yes I served in kano too 2014/2015 and the experience was okay. I wasn't complaining like my mates who served in other states.

Kano is one of the developed states in nigeria and by far the most developed in the north infrastructure wise.

And corpers are treated with respect wherever they are posted to.

The only thing I think people should be wary of is the dress code ( this is mostly applied to women) where you can't reveal much to the outer world.

And people are always mistaking sharia law in kano. Sharia law in kano is not applicable to Christians. You can only be judged by the Sharia law in kano only when you are Muslim. When Sharia law was imposed in the state, areas like sabon Gari were excluded because of the Christian majority there. So you have no problem with the Sharia law. What you don't even know is most kano youth don't follow the Sharia law. They just do their thing in secret to avoid any little talks.

People just scare people off, telling them not to go to kano, I don't know why. But kano is really nice. I haven't served in all the states in nigeria (as you can only go to one, lol) so I can't judge other states NYSC-wise but kano is okay to serve. I enjoyed mine.

Tajbol4splend:
Bro if u choose to believe me, it will pay you because I'm currently serving in Kano

1. Kano state government does not pay allowance unless they start tomorrow

2. That things are cheap is not everywhere but depends on location of ur ppa, if you live in Sabon gari where I live, you will buy things like u are in south south or south east

3. Electricity is only good in few places but not everywhere

4. The people there who are good are really good but the silly people there are extremely, my brother, extremely, pls what did I say, extremely annoying

Mind you, all I'm telling you is not to condemn Kano, it is a nice place to be, a really developed place that I'm planning to stay on if God accepts my wishes but I'm only trying to correct the wrong notion this post may have created in u.

Guy. Go look for your state allowance from your local government inspector. I served in kano 2014/2015 and I was receiving the 5k. I served at Tarauni Local government secretariat.

bayelsaowei:
lies...those in apc were in the pdp so your thoughts of apc moving in a better direction not only sounds foolish but sentimental...

How is an administration that has immersed every single one except cronies of the Admin in abject poverty and recession...

Are you listening to yourself talk or type

But you should remember what am just going to tell you right now. This same people in the PDP that you are saying are in the APC are under a different control. The major leaders of the APC are not ex PDP men, Muhammadu Buhari and Tinunbu. Apart from Saraki there is no ex PDP man at the apex of decision making. The PDP guys that are in the APC now are acting under commands.

And the second thing, am not here to fight you over party politics. What I crave for is a one Nigeria moving in the right direction. And a sensible person will confirm that we are well off in this government than that of the PDP concerning decision making.

The third thing is we are under a topic concerning the reviving of the ajaokuta steel company not PDP or APC. We are talking about jobs to be created. We are talking about growing the Nigerian economy, we are talking about putting nigeria on the Map, boy.

Am not going to let you push me into a fight on APC or PDP. So, am sorry, I think you are the one who sounds foolish and bn sentimental.

Some people are so funny. If this government abandons the ajaokuta steel project you will say they've abandoned it. Now that they are working on it you are here saying they can't compete with China at pricing.

What I want all of you to understand is simple. Yes we can't compete with China but how is importing steal from China helps us with jobs? Exchange rates are what they are today largely because of Nigeria's inability to get more from crude sales that they normally do. We virtually export nothing but crude. We import everything; food, cloth, building materials, TOOTHPICK, petrol (after we sell our crude oil), drinks, etc.

We will never move forward as a nation economically to improve infrastructure and the well being of our own people until we manufacture our own. Steel may be expensive at the beginning but with time more steel companies will come on board which will bring about competition in the steel market in the long run. That will force the price of steel down.

This government is not all about what they can get. I believe the APC and PDP led governments are all corrupt but the APC are more passionate to moving Nigeria in the positive direction than the PDP.

Boko Haram menace almost over, agricultural sector is bn revived now we eat our own rice. Aliko Dangote's refinery to come on board in 2018 which will force down the price of petrol, now the steel company which I think the government after working on it will raise taxes on steel importation to force you buy our own steel which is good (more money in the economy and more jobs), a now functioning mining sector, which I believe in 10 to 15 years from now we will be able to sell what's not crude oil to other countries.

Even though we are marching slow, I believe as the citizen of Nigeria that we are marching in the direction that's best for me and you. We are marching on the right direction. And I believe president Muhammadu Buhari will not put his own interests ahead of the interest of almost 200 million people. We should all be patient as patience is key.

God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria
God Bless Us All.

Kano is still moving under this current government. It's time for other states to wake up and emulate the achievements of other states and just stop complaining. Places like lagos, akwa ibom, Abuja, calabar, kano are forcing themselves up. Let's all work together because we have no other place to call home other than our home Nigeria.

God Bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God Bless Us All.

This is really bad for the northern states including kano. Am from kano and I don't feel like the government is doing enough in terms of internally generated revenue.

Salute to southern states though.

And to all Nigerian citizens, it is not by IGR ooo. If you have a good governor that will not steal almost everything, then you are good. Some states generate a lot internally and a lot from the federal government but still can not deliver to the masses. I can see katsina as one the poorest but they are doing good infrastructure wise. Jigawa too. But kaduna are up there with little to show infrastructure wise.

I don't know a lot about the southern states apart from akwa ibom. Akwa ibom is cool.

Each state needs to find ways to diversify their sources of income. And as a people we need to come together and support the government, encourage the government, and pray. The government on the other hand should work hard to deliver not even their campaign promises but ways to improve the well being of their respective states without the dependency on federal government.

On my own I feel like, if state governments find more ways in generating more money internally, there will even be no need for the federal government's help. Develop your state infrastructure-wise (power, water, transportation, housing), and believe me foreign investments will come your state's way. That means more jobs for your people and more IGR for your state.

Only if we have good politicians..........

Okay you man. The international passport you see, there is nothing hidden from it. The passport number is clearly there. Please don't make judgements based on only your understanding. Ask people, ask them. The passport number is there down if you read the part of something like a bar code. The last line you will see the passport number there. It was issued in Washington I guess.

Open your eyes.
