Of course, let's recruit more people to multiply the number of untrained, unschooled, under-parented kids in the streets.

Who do us this thing? Can a governor be so bereft of brains to setup a more useful initiative to help SMEs in the state but see sponsoring mass weddings as a state responsibility.

Omooo, if it's possible to colonize northern Nigeria we have to do it.
That place is a mess

Your interest in the North's population is so that your side wins, and you get the money to chop.

PLus North can lose, Obasanjo proved it in 2003, GEJ in 2011.

Oga abeg shift, I don't belong to any of those mediocre geopolitical bias.
I just state the fact as it is. I don't care if it hurts my own people

Not their fault. If Nigeria implements resource control and every state is responsible for generating its income, all these nonsense won't be happening.

They are doing this because money from federation account will always come at month end!

Now a tradition in the north.
Wedding sponsored by government.

Who will sponsor their feedings through life time.

Instead of the government to sponsor in skill acquisition and vocation then provide equipments rather sponsoring wedding.

Them werey na wetin them sabi be that. Almajiri go come plenty full their state next thing they go dey move them comot go developed state to go do bambiala

nairalanda1:
What crops do you want them to plant? How many of them would be trained to work in the farm? Who would provide the seed money, and how would the markets for the farm product be developed.

Most regions and states did the same thing, and at the end of the day, they all crashed.

But they have good soil. They could have a section for animals and a hostel right there where they live. Even if they have to plant and pick cotton let them be confined to that plantation.

Paying dowry by government
Is a good development

But why No news of mass employment in Kebbi but always mass wedding

. There is nothing good about government paying dowry

This is how we are wasting public funds in Nigeria.

Adblg0610:
The governor of Kebbi state, Nasir Idris, being a former National President of the Nigerian Union of Teachers, should include free and compulsory education and/or vocational skill acquisition for the expected children of the sponsored couples, to stem the tide of increasing number of out-of-school children, roaming the streets.

See that being a former civil servant does not make.you a good leader....a futuristic thinker..
Instead of coming together to bridge the gap in education of not only children but his state, he falls to the whims of mumuism to marry couples who do not really know why they should live the rest of their lives together in the first place.
Such is in our Country

Dividends of democracy and constituency empowerment in action.

Please allow this people to go and have their own sharia nation.

Lets go there! Multiply like rats my friends.

I hope they will give you free education

Look, that;s not how a farm is set up, abeg.

You have to do premarket analysis, have to even find out if there is a market for the crops, etc.

Besides, why farm? You people do not know that countries in Africa that rely on farming are worse off than Nigeria? Many of them take loans at a rate wey dey pass us, the only reason wy their debt is not bad is because their population is less

Cotton for example is problematic because USA is able to outproduce every African country because their farming is mechanized. That's why countries like Mali, burkina and so forth are broke and poor, despite the propaganda.

Besides, if you want Kebbi to be a productive state, let the state governor tax everyone in the state, let discos be allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs, let the federal government take loans to do railways , so that at the end it would be profitable to have industries in the state, and then profitable to have education in the state...better.

Not farming. When we have to effing compete with bigger countries that are doing mechanized farming? That's why apart from cocoa, we cannot compete in agric with many countries, especially when it comes to rice.

The north should be allowed to go their own way..... This is absolute thrash.

You do, that;s why you are bitter about the North's votes.

Your bitterness, and the bitterness of many people from your region, is why we have difficulty winning elections in the North. You complain of bigotry from south africans, and you are here doing the same bigotry against your own countrymen because religion and because they no vote for your tribesman, therefore you cannot chop.

In fairness, many Northerners do the same thing too

BOth of you end up harming yourselves with bad leadership.

Are you serious?
To pay dowry is government business?

How are we in the same country with people of this kind of mindset?

Sha they beat us to it. They're already "colonizing" us.

after that what happens?

Foolish people!

Heh heh hey

This is not about weddings, it's about them giving birth ASAP so their numbers will increase for their political/religious overthrow game.

They're looking for numbers, let's beware!!!

And you say Tinubu should be using Juju to fight bandits

Instead of empowering them to be self sustained and productive citizens, you impoverish them then turn around to do mass islamic wedding.

They don't have a vision

75 Million naira to be used for the 300 wedding wasted. Why not invest in innovation, education and technology, everything is not about breeding like cockroaches. When would the north learn? Na wow o, she na the same country we and these guys dey? Na wow o

governor’s wife’s NANAS Foundation would provide beds, mattresses, food items and other[color
Nest has been set what remains is laying of eggs

What else do they know how to do in that north sef?

ManirBK:

The purpose is to ensure that the poor keep giving birth in exchange for votes

Stupid citizens with evil government

The North is a big gap in the development of this nation. Wow!!!!
