This nonsense is sponsored by Niger Delta money. If Kano was generating its own money, they won't waste it like this.
We need true fiscal federalism so that monkey will not continue to work for baboon to chop and born useless children everywhere.

Na like this Dem go dey share their own allocation money

Hehehe.

Nigeria is a funny country. When you think you have seen it all, they will surprise you.

With the economic situation of this country, government is still arranging marriage for people.

A man who can't sponsor his wedding,how is he going to take good care of his family.

All for 2027 election that's 4 years away. Imagine a California state governor using public resources to sponsor wedding for thousands for poor Californians. Will the Kano gov continue to feed them after the wedding ceremony??

On my way to Kano ..

Joking apart, such funds should have been drafted for business (SMEs). Most people know what to do, it's just money as capital, they're lacking..

I mean, after the wedding and all, children come next. How efficient can the couples be in raising the kids? I think that spells for deep poverty in the land, resulting to more lack and suffering...

Tuition fees, that's understandable.
But mass wedding, should that be government problem?

North kept drawing NIGERIA backward since 16 AD

Hummm.
They even sponsor marriage for themselves, pay fees for their students, come to UK, their people full the schools, all na scholarships. Whereas the South South that actually generate the money have nothing of such and all man for himself. South South leaders need to do better for their citizens honestly.

We just keep recycling poverty in this country.

These men's wedding ceremonies are being paid for, but they forgot that they will bear a bunch of kids later.

Who will train them? We need to stop giving room for almajiri practice and terrorism

Is this culture or religion? He who is not financially buoyant to get married and support a family should fast to put his libido in check.

If they're assisted in getting married, would they also be assisted in taking care of the kids that come from the union?

Nonsensical

It's a good move by the genius kano government. Kano government infrastructural development is already top notch. They don't know what to do with money again.
More Almajiri loading..........

Omo

See wetin this guys dey use South South money do,,,,mass wedding

Nonsense

Hmmm

Some of them are not sure of 7 virgins for heaven so they want to get 4 here on earth.

Why will a state conduct wedding

Awon oniranu

Better way of sharing palliatives

Who will feed them after the mass wedding?

Chai, dull brain governor, he just succeeded in increasing poverty in that region

Pls how much to reach Kano?

Nima Ina son Kara aure!
Meaning: Me sef wan marry another wife!

The road to Kano is not here on nairaland.
Kindly Go their and channel your grievances.

The idea is strategic for increasing population to always be in power. That's northern agenda for you. If you know, you know.

Ok
