Frankly, adequate statistics are required by any responsible local or state government in order to adequately provide social and other services for residents.

The sought registration will help Kano move light years ahead in providing those services. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this bill and it should be passed ASAP; it is absolutely constitutional.

I can see coward internet warriors shitting "yi kashi" in their pants

Ahmeduana: TINUBU LO FA GBOGBO OSHI YI TO LO KO ERON MERO

she eranko ni awon relative iwo ni, abi biri ni iwo na? dan tselewa

GBTYO: This is the story they want you to believe:
Rebels got themselves BUK and somehow magically already had a professional crew to operate it.

Meanwhile Ukrainian forces have mobilized BUK missile launchers to the border with Russia.
Russian authorities quickly close down airspace bordering Ukraine in anticipation of a possible terrorist strike.
Pro-Russian Ukrainian Rebels captured or stumble upon an abandoned BUK missile launcher
A civilian aircraft is downed afterwards.
Go figure...

The truth of the matter is that you are yet to figure anything out. At this point anyone's guess as as good as yours and it is foolish to make irresponsible conclusive statements before investigations by the international community is complete.

Breeze go open the yansh of the people behind this, soon enough. For now, the conspiracy theorists can have a field day.

Interresting, but it is way too early for anyone to jump to any conclusion. The fact is, investigations have not yet been concluded.

Oga, you be KGB agent?

You people just made me spill my Columbian coffee.

You fools. Don't you realize that both still and motion images can be edited? How can you not understand that if Shekau is dead, America will know.

Vikky014: u r speakn rubbish!!u r nt proud of ur islama*bad name mtcheew

Ngwanu, no vex. I just saw that you are a babe. I no dey fight women o.

Who is really cheating who? Why is the NORTH afraid of RESOURCE CONTROL?

I'm for 100% resource control of inland resources. All offshore resources belong to all and only greedy and lazy souls would disagree with this.

Vikky014: wht r u doing wt an igbo name?UR Allah wil soon bomb u wt his foot soldiers

nairalife2013: then why are u reading it? Northerners are ingrates. Which Northerner ever said words of appreciation to d south, even after all these years of robbing peter to pay Paul? Instead they kill them and those whom they conjecture behaves like them!!!

Have you expressed an appreciation for the benefits you people reaped from Groundnuts, hides and skins, and other cash crops of the 60s and 70s?

Pray tell what would you like to be thanked for? Something you were personally responsible for? Maybe you are also a modern day begger waiting for government handout like your fellow "millitants"

Adelaide2: You mean 90 million cattles, donkeys and humans (Nigerians and Nigeriens [foreigners]) all combined in one? Continue parading your fake population

Mind you, the 90 million figure is a very conservative one. dolo

samoks: It is not the mind of just one man. He has spoken the mind of every Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri man.

I lived in Kaduna from my tender age and I left during the '92 crisis in Kaduna. I also served (NYSC) in Nasarawa state, so I know all the plans on ground by the core-north.

And how did you come about with 90 million population? Is it the same north that you travel hundreds of kilometers before you see settlements?

The simple truth is that the NORTH has been responsible for Nigeria's backwardness. How many years have you people ruled Nigeria and yet you want the power back by all means. Why? Why must the north rule? Does it mean the South East are out casts? Does it mean the Middle belt are lesser humans? Does it mean a man from South South is not eligible to rule? What is so special about you people? What do you have that makes you think you have a comparative advantage over all other part of Nigeria?

Very simplistic. You have my pity.

By the way, where in Kaduna did you live, i.e. if you know where Kaduna is actually located?

Why is the opinion of one man be twisted enough by you people to the point that it becomes a rallying point for the feeding of your bigotry?

One man gave his opinion and that suddenly becomes the opinion of 90million Northerners. See una lives?

These politicians are setting the stage for the destruction of our young democracy out of desperation and support for an undeclared Presidential run.

naijalodge: ,bros shut up ur mouth,credit should go to the Defence,nt messi,the defence was a rock,dat was why they survived the Oranje..,messi was always no where to be found,except wen he looses the Ball..the last time he played a good football was in Group stage against weak teams,i can bet that fiffa actually place them on that group for easy qualification..

I doubt you'd tell your father to shut up. get lost cretin!

To truly appreciate Messi's contributions, simply imagine the Argentina team without Messi and you'd note that the team would not have made it out of the first round sef.

The final would have been worse that the Brazil semis for Argentina. The man worked like a horse and deserves the golden ball.

SamIkenna: Asking for terror check is not victimization in my dictionary. But hey, to each his own.

My disappointment with many of the elite, hopefully you excluded, is that they believe that the Boko Haram problem is a "North" problem and they even jubiliate at the terrorist acts perpetrated against fellow Nigerians simply because the same terror is not directly felt in their homeland.

Nigeria is at war, yet some are happy that the BH affair will bring down the "North". Terrorism perpetrated against any nigerian should never be a happy affair.

Just read through this thread and watch the posters gloating about terrorism potentially consuming and destroying the "evil North". What a sad state of affairs

SamIkenna: ndu Nwanne m, Oga eme gi vam n'anya.

On a lighter note, how is the Ramadan going for you?

No love lost buddy, Ramadan kareem to you.

We need to learn to be Nigerians and work together against any common enemy. Tha vast majority of the poor and average Nigerians have been victimized enough.

^^^^^ Delusions of grandeur

SamIkenna: I feel sorry for core north. For any sane walking breathing individual or group of individuals to bank on the indivisibility and complete subjugation of a geographical space inhabited by people as diverse, unyielding, and ethno-nationalistic as Nigerians, we really need to feel sorry for such entity.

Throwing up lies, even if they were true, won't save you. We're pretty done with the intransigence, belligerence, greed, jihadism, born-to-rule, and terror of the core north. I remember writing a piece before the inception of the confab in which I stated that GEJ should return our boys from North East theater and cut the core north lose. Some so-called southerners thought it was harsh. Well, after getting a sneak-peak of core northern mentality from this conference, I wonder if those fellas' still shared their old views. I guess folks can now see that the people we consider fellow citizens want to be paid for terrorizing us.

This biafra that you guys could not obtain through war will not come to pass by wishful thinking and riding the coat tails of GEJ who is from a Ijaw tribe which will never allow you to make them subservient in your Biafra.

Stop this obsession and delusion. Stop worrying and feeling sorry for the 'North'. More of your people live in the North than in your land - they need your pity. Dalu o

I thought they were talking about Shekau sef.

One more time, god punish cortana the soothsayer

Cortana the soothsayer, god punish you.

C0llynzO2: You are only proving those who opposed your assertions right. The article clearly said regional governments derived a large chunk of their finances from Agriculture.
The north depended on it s groundnut and cotton to an extent
The east depended on Palm oil of which Nigeria was the highest exporter at that time.
The west depended on cocoa and palm oil to an extent.
What is Presently known as Niger Delta depended on Rubber, palm oil and cocoa to an extent.
Stop living in delusion.
Trying to twist glaring facts can only work with your uneducated almajiri brothers.

I most certainly can't resolve your language comprehension here.

lygn19: Most oil wells re discovered by d locals, nd they inform there state govt, who reports to the fg abt there finding.

Very simplistic. The locals simply use juju to discover oil and inform their state governments, no exploration, no research by Geologists, Geophysicists, or Petroleum Engineers.

eGuerrilla: Comrade nduchucks,

You make sense a lot of the time but on the odd occasion you peddle vaunting assertions which have no basis in reality.
If you want to taken seriously on this issue, please provide something more substantive than a U.S. Library of Congress article - which gives no figures to back up your claims here...

With the understanding that you are a very intellectually honest poster, I took some time to dig up some facts to support my claims.

Regional governments derived much of their development finances from agriculture. Between 1954 and 1957 N144 million or 42 percent of the marketing boards’ surplus were disbursed as grants to regional governments, and another N24 million as loans to regional governments.

Between 1962 and 1966 13 to 34 percent of regional government finances depended on marketing boards surpluses (Adubi, 2000). In terms of export earnings, agricultural exports accounted for 86 percent of total exports in 1955-59, 80 percent in 1960-64 and 57 percent in 1965-69.

Part of the decline in 1965 -69 may have been due to disruptions in production caused by the civil war of 1967-70. However, from 1970 the decline became very dramatic, and this coincided with the prominence of petroleum as the country’s main export commodity.

Please read the rest of the paper, there are quite a few others and time will not permit me to dig them up. My claim was not a frivilous one.

Greetings to you, long time to hear.

I'd assume that you'd agree with me that Groundnuts, cotton, cocoa, palm products hides and skins, were the principal export crops in the 1960s and early 1970s. If that were the case, then it follows that farmers in the North who produced the groundnuts and other crops mentioned, significantly contributed to national income, which in turn supplemented various budgets in the Eastern, Western, and Northern regions.

No one is claming that these budgets were solely financed by the said principal export crops of the 60s and 70s.

Many of us simply find it difficult to admit historical facts because of our biases.

Hindsight is 20/20. Now, please articulate your point, if you have the capability.
