For the benefit of all dumb head, fulltime APC paid yahoo=boys out there, Akwa Ibom is more developed than Kano, because development in reality is not measured by number of useless and poorly planned flyovers, development is best measured in terms human development. Kano with all of its allocation stands miles down the line from Akwa Ibom, you can quote me.

You coward in what area is Akwa Ibom developed? not even in human or capital development. Akwa Ibom should be compared to Delta State, Bayelsa State, Benue, Kogi, cross river and their likes. In terms of local economy, human capital developmenmt, education, roads, planning, etc.


And stop being a dumb coward!!!!

cool down na haha.

have you been to Kano state or do you reside there ? People who have are complaining about the neglect inhabitants of sabon gari are suffering even from successive govts. What is good for the goose in main Kano city is also good for the gander in sabon gari except you can prove to everyone here that an equal pace of development is taking place all over the state.. Lets keep political and tribal sentiments aside pls

What evidence do you have that Sabon gari is marginalised? Does Sabon Gari belong to Igbos or Any Southerner or Kano people? You need to be objective in criticisms

naijaking1:
That's wrong. The people of Sabon Gari pay taxes to Kwankwaso without being represented in anyway. When oil dries up and he understands the need to widen his local tax base, then he would begin to pay more respect to his Sabon Gari tax payers!

You are right in a way but I will only take your post serious if you can post how much is accrued to the state government in tax every month from sabon gari. Population or number of petty businesses contributions to the state coffers is infinitesimal. Quote me on that.

Ok lets flip the coin, what evidence do you have to show that sabon gari is not marginalized?

I served m y NYSC in Kano and stayed back a few more years, so I know the place very well, as do other people who live there. The beer parlours, stores, and other business in Sabon Gari pay heavy taxes either to shut them down or drive them out. Good luck going to the city to ask a trader to pay tax, when he thinks you be the one paying him for being a dan Kano!

And when the ACF demands the power must shift to the North it was GEJ that urged them to issue such ultimatum?

Why are you so f00lish?

Kwankwaso is the governor of Kano state, not Bayelsa, Rivers or any SE State. Why are you complaining when Kano people are not complaining? You and your likes are promoters of Kwankwaso marginalised Sabon Gari and funny enough you can't even back your claims... Sabon Gari belongs to Kano people, if he marginalises them it is Sabon Gari indigens that should complain and NOT non-Indigens from the SE complaining on their behalf. He is first and foremost loyal to KANO indigens before residents. I live in Lagos, was born and bred here but I always acknowledge that the Government of Lagos is first and foremost responsible to Lagos people before residents. Keep your hate to yourself bro and think of positives, if you must criticise, do it constructively not driven by hate and bigotry

barcanista:
First the name of the writer rings a bell.

Secondly, the writer acknowledges the GIANT stride of Kwankwaso but tactically try to play it down by looking at the emboldened carefully. Instead of saying Kwankwaso is OPENING or has opened Kano state, heused the word "Wants to" to give it a futuristic message. that is for now it it isn't opened but there are plans to do it.

Thirdly, from this statement, it is clear that the writer already has a motive of looking for a way to discredit the government of Kano led by Rabiu Kwankawso


Fourthly, the writer acknowledges again the competennce of Kwankwaso


but he is a tribalist, rather than talk more of it, he diverted to TRIBAL Journalism



He again acknowledges his bigotry...


All being said, the writer is a BIGOTED scumbag that needs to be sanctioned by National Judicial Council and the Vanguard Newspaper.

1. What do you mean by his name rings a bell.

2. I agree with you...but he said the simple truth...

3. Such a motive is allowed my brother.... He's doing his job

4. I may want to agree with you on this.....but really, it cut across...from Kano to Lagos to Enugu to Kaduna to Ondo to Benue, they all neglect non indigenes.

If we must grow as a nation, we must begin to embrace others. Lagos state is an example of how non indigenes can contribute, in Lagos, we have non indigenes as commissioners, party chiefs and special advisers. Fmr Governor of Kano state, Ibrahim Shekau also appointed non indigenes when he was governor. It's beyond individual participation of non indigenes, development should also get to them.

Oh SFTU which excessive allocation? Do you know the allocation of Kano state? even the Budget of Kano is HALF/almost half of that of Akwa Ibom. Your leaders in the SE and Mine SS are incompetent and not good managers of resources. Go hide your head in Shame. Kwankwaso is the BEST Administrator in this dispensation- Next to Rauf Aregbesola


BTW: If you are not satisfied, Go Back to Your home state and respect your host government

Bros I disagree with you. How can Aregbesola be the best governor. What's your yardstick.
What of Governors like Fashola, Akpabio, Lamido and maybe Kwankwaso? To me, Aregbesola is just a "loudspeaker"

That Ibrahim Shekarau appointed a non-Indigen into his cabinet does not make it right or wrong. It is entirely at the prerogative of the Governor. The most important thing is that development is brought to the fore and the indigens and residents enjoys dividends of democracy. Kwankwaso has achieved what all our SS governors combined could not achieve in their 8years despite the resources at his disposal.

When you want to make an assessment you need to drop every preconceived motive whether positive and negative and approach the issue with an open mind, otherwise it will affect your judgement. The writer shot himself on the foot with his own writeup. We all know why i said the Writer's name rings a bell.. I won't dwell further oin that. Kwankwaso is not perfect though but he is a perfect example of what a good manager and administrator is.

I will be glad to engage you in this debate. in this dispensation(2011 till date) Rabiu Kwankwaso is the best administrator(from my open assessment) and next to Aregbesola. Which Akpabio? he is among the worst Governor in Akwa Ibom history(but it is their business). Fashola was the best Between 2007 to 2011, he is still an astute administrator but come on, this time his feat is being beaten in Osun State which is a good omen. My prayer is that someone dwarfs the records of all of them combined... in other words, we need development in every part

So how does sound for a Kwankwaso presidential campaign slogan:

Vote for me as President of Nigeria, and I will replicate my Kano achievements at the federal level!
1. I thoroughly marginalised Sabon Gari, because they're all from the SE, SSe, or SW
2. I made sure every child in Niger Republic learns French, so I built them nice schools.
3. Sabon Gari and other places in Kano don't need good schools, so I go to Niger and build them
4. I not only enforce sharia in Kano with the Hisba police, but I make sure Christians never build any more useless churches around the holy city of Kano.
5. Once I become president, every body in Aso Rock must convert to Islam, just like in Kano.
6. The unbelieving southern states of Nigeria will get the Sabon Gari treatment once I occupy aso Rock

so it's now a "me and my likes" thing abi ? When govt officials invited the journalist on a tour of Kano state why didn't the govt select only journalists from Kano state since as you say Kano is for only people from Kano ? You honestly need to keep tour hate to yourself bro and criticize constructively not driven by hate and bigotry

Sincere9gerian:
A balanced and well written article just that I disagree with the author on his using road construction as a guage for competence and intelligence. I mean all it takes to build a solid road or bridge is to assemble the right engineers and award the contract to a capable firm, provided the funds are avialable. That is not rocket science. It is one of the easiest task any leader could undertake.

However, Kwankwaso can demonstrate his intelligence or competence in the number of industries and businesses his regime resurrected and the new ones he attracted to Kano. That is where the hardwork and brain work is.

But I agree that Kwankwaso is a strong personality.

Clap for yourself. Coming from the man who eugolised pdp led gov't on road constructions, while hypocritically wave aside that of kano gov't. Take away road construction from the present Nigeria gov't and you will be left with almost nothing meaninful to remember this gov't for? Be generous enough to state or itemize industries built or revived by the Federal gov't.

The Governor did not invite journalist from Yoruba, hausa or Igbo, the writer work with Vanguard, the Governor invited him because of where he works and obviously his rank, and not because he is Igbo or hausa. And I repeat, the Governor of Kano State is Primarily responsible to Kano indigens before any other. That is why there is STATE OF ORIGIN in our laws...(And yes it shall remain so forever). Non-Indegineous Residents and outsiders should know when to draw the line when talking of "Marginalisation" within a state that is not theirs. What is the business of YOU with that? Honestly, a Ijawman has no right to state who is marginalised and who is not in any Igbo State neither a Yorubaman such right. My friend, face front abeg. You have NO POINT walahi...

As for you and your likes, Yes you need to take a chill pill and be more objective, this "driven by bitterness" path won't help.

BTW... The words that are crossed are unnecessary and doesn't apply to me

I don't want to talk about Akpabio because I also consider him a loudspeaker though he has done a lot for his state.
We may want to discuss Aregbesola, Kwankwaso and Fashola...in my opinion, Aragbesola will come a distant 3rd.
Really, what has Aregbesola done apart from owing salaries, fueling religious crises and empowering thugs. The road from Gbogan to Osogbo has been under construction for almost 4 years. There is no major difference between the pre-Aregbesola era in terms of roads, education and health. What has changed.
But in Kano state, we are all witness to what Kwankwaso has done, giving out scholarships in batches, built new hospitals, roads, etc. His only problem is that of maybe "religious fanatism ", Kano state is not an all-inclusive society, people are not free to go about their business or do whatever they want. Why won't I be able to buy "alcoholic red wine in Kano".
I don't want to drag other governors into this discussion, but IMO, I think Aregbesola is not among this best governors of this dispensation.

I visited Kano last in 2006 on my way Damaturu, lodging in Tahir Guest House, Nasarawa GRA. I took out time then to visit the famous Sabon Gari. From the popular Bata junction, I went to France Road. I noticed that Sabon Gari was brimming with business activities but was clearly marginalized. I have heard that Kwakwanso has been improving the aesthetics of Kano now. But it is unfortunate that a place as important as Sabon Gari is not part of his Kano.


On Buhari, I have been saying it that his PTF did next to nothing in the South East-apart from buying cheap drugs for few hospitals. Buhari clearly marginalised the South East-and even the South-South. At least, I know his PTF executed little or no project in Akwa Ibom. Interestingly, the money PTF was 'flexing' with was got from these areas. How else can we describe unfairness?

One guy up here said GEJ has also been unfair as he has been siting all his projects in the SE and SS. I think the pro-APC online forces should be consistent in their arguments. In one of the Igbo-bashing threads that have been increasing by the day, you guys wondered why Igbos should support GEJ despite his failure to reciprocate with projects in Igbo land. Now, you guys are saying the exact opposite.

Which one we go take now?

Is such a shame how we immediatelly labelled anyone with a contrary view an Apc agen. The guy may reasons for making such claims but clearly not enough tagged an Apc.
