asobo: General Muhammadu Buhari sack them period. I still can't phantom why they are still occupying their various office's. Only in Nigeria will you see people not performing and the would refuse to take the bold step to resign.
GRACEGLORY: That doesn't render the reported cases a scam, there are other isolation centres in Kano. More so, this could have been made up. Kano opened 5 new isolation centres for Covid-19 as at MAY 1st. Ask him to show us the rest:
The five facilities: the Abubakar Imam Urology Hospital, Murtala Muhammed Library Complex, Hospitality and Tourism Institute, Kano State Sports Institute at Karfi village, & the Nigerian Air Force Hospital in Kano.
These, supports the 3 existing ones, at the Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital, Kwanar Dawaki Hospital, and Sani Abacha Stadium.
So, since Sani Abacha Stadium is empty, show us others.
Whoever thinks Covid19 is a scam should take for granted the precautions, and get infected to confirm for us.
Guy calm down, corona is politicized in Nigeria. This country is going broke after this false means of stealing money
oshozondii: Remember Ese Oruru, the 14-year-old girl resident with her parents in Bayelsa, who was abducted, taken to Kano and impregnated by Yinusa Dahiru aka Yellow in 2015.
Iyiataata92: If the sentences run concurrently, then he'll be spending seven years in jail which, to me,is too small The north should know that this their stupid act of marrying kids can only be tolerated in their region. Any attempt to expand their criminal marriage to the south will be met with stiff resistance Girls from the south are more than objects for the other rooms. Over Here, We Don't Marry Kids And You Guys Should Respect That
Still, Seven Years Is Too Small
Meanwhile they will not allow you marry their daughters,evil people. Except you convert.
Teebaba30: There is this lady I have been dating now for almost eleven years (11) she was my first love, we started dating while I was still in my final stage of secondary school, things were moving smoothly, as we are both new in the game of love.
I could remembered, then, mtn with their free night calls, we would talk from 12am to 5:00am then, she is the daughter to the king of the town, a well known king in Lagos state, but along the line, as we progress in line, owing to my fine boy of a thing,.
You know we guys when we sense that, it seems all lady want us, due to our cute look, or academic reasons, we take the advantage to flirt, of which she so much detest a cheating guy, she caught me times without number, but still hard for both of us to let go our anyone, after my higher institution,

She keeps crying everyday, even I myself, and in the state of confused now,.
SHOULD WE QUIT THE RELATIONSHIP OR WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW..?
Dating someone for eleven years, bros you're wicked
Sunshineg5: That is the problem of locking up one or few states while allowing other states to function to half or full capacity.
People will naturally run away from the locked down states to other free states, especially with the level of corruption within the Nigerian security forces that are supposed to enforce the lock down.
The Initial lock down actually aided the spread of the virus to other states of the federation as people tried to escape the restrictions to other states.
Why won't the number increase when some illiterate imams are busy preaching that there's no corona virus.
Taskforce checkpoint at an Enugu state border has nabbed some men who were being smuggled into the state, hidden among cows.
It should be recalled here that in recent weeks, Kano state has been the worst hit by the COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria, with hundreds of deaths reported.
It should also be recalled that recent reported cases in Enugu state had a travel history of being in Kano before returning to the state.
iwaeda: OPEN LETTER TO THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF KWARA STATE, MALLAM ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRASAK.
His Excellency, Mallam Abdurahman AbdulRasaq Executive Governor, Kwara State Government House, Ahmadu Bello Way Ilorin
INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE
Being the text of an open letter written at the end of the emergency meeting of the State Executive Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kwara State Chapter and all her Critical Stakeholders held on 6th day of April 2020 at the Catholic Secretariat, Tanke Junction, IIorin, Kwara State.
Preamble: The Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN) by her charter is the umbrella body for all Christians in Nigeria. The Kwara State Chapter is particularly charged to act as a liaison committee, by which member churches can consult together and when necessary, make common statement and take common actions on issues that concern the general welfare of the Christians in the State.
As a critical stakeholder in the socio-political affairs of the State, we have never shied away from working in understanding with the people of other faiths and the government of Kwara State to ensure that peace and harmony which are essential to overall development of the State are maintained without any form of disruption, even in the face of provocative marginalisation of Christians in the polity.
As it stands today, none of the nine (9) Federal Legislators from Kwara State is a Christian, a situation that ordinarily should spark off suspicion of an agenda because such a development is not a result of drought of astute Christian Politicians in the processes that culminated into the emergence of candidates for those positions. However in spite of the underhand tactics that cheated Christians out of the race, we looked away since those offices are elective positions.
Our frustrations and why we resulted to writing an open letter:
Your Excellency may wish to note that this open letter became our last option, after several efforts made to meet your Excellency privately to table our observations on several issues including the pressing issue of technical ban placed on prayer and preaching in our Schools by the Honorable Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development proved abortive. We have managed that absurd policy with optimal maturity and avoided media altercation in the belief that Your Excellency will be available for a quick resolution of the matter and other connected issues. But to our utter dismay the events of recent times and your evasiveness leave us with no other option than to shout out if our whispers are too inaudible for Your Excellency's ears.
Also in view of the ongoing war against COVID - 19 pandemic, we would still have extended the period of waiting on Your Excellency but the speed at which Your Excellency started to rush appointments which excluded Christians while the lockdown lasts has forced us to result to calling Your Excellency's attention to the unprecedented lopsidedness in all the appointment so far made by Your Excellency.
Our action is thus premised on the fact that we sense a hidden agenda in the rush of all appointments at a crucial stage when lives should be rescued and secured, knowing fully that appointees are not going to resume work during this stay –back- at -home period.
We are sad that while churches and mosques are stopped from carrying out their operations,
Your Excellency's preoccupation revolves around making controversial appointments and the last set of it was a shock at the expense of the emergence and presence of COVID-19 in your state.
Facts of the matter:
As it stands today, almost all the appointments so far made by Your Excellency do not reflect sensitivity to the religious plurality of the State and the following facts will reveal the obvious:
1. On coming on board of this government under your leadership on May 29, 2019, Your Excellency promised to be fair to all Kwarans. However, right from that time till date, the Christians are yet to see a true reflection of that promise. For instance, the first three appointments you made; the Chief of Staff, the Secretary to the State Government and Chief Press Secretary and later that of the Deputy Chief of Staff did not include a single Christian. Yet, the Deputy Chief of Staff slot has always been reserved for a Christian once the Chief of Staff is a Muslim.
2. Out of the sixteen (16) commissioners that were appointed, only five (5) are Christians while all Special Advisers are non-Christians. This indicates that out of the twenty-six (26) member, State Executive Council, only six (6) including the Deputy Governor are Christians;
3. None of the Chairmen of the Governing Boards of all Statutory Boards and Commissions i.e Kwara State Civil Service Commission, Kwara State Judicial Service Commission, Kwara State House of Assembly Commission, Kwara State Polytechnic Board, Kwara State University(KWASU)Board, Local Government Service Commission, Teaching Service Commission, International Aviation College and IVTEC just to mention but a few so far appointed is a Christian;
4. Still in continuation of the marginalization, appointments of both the Rector, Kwara State Polytechnic and the Vice-chancellors of Kwara State University were schemed against the emergence of suitably qualified Christian academics;
5. Again, out of the eight ( Permanent Secretaries so far appointed by your Excellency, only two (2) are Christians. Coupled with this is the unholy appointment of junior staff to superintend as Acting General managers over their most senior colleagues who are Christians in two (2) of the three (3) media houses in the State. That of the Radio Kwara, which we brought to Your Excellency's attention for remedy still remain unattended to;
6. While it is true that a Christian was appointed as Special Assistant on Religion, Christian Affairs and another as Chairman, Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board, these are positions that naturally should go to Christians. Meanwhile, none of the heads of the following agencies so far appointed by Your Excellency is a Christian: Kwara State Water Corporation, Kwara State Bureau of Land as well as Harmony Holdings Limited.
7. In continuation of the marginalization, our Churches were locked down without due consultations with CAN leadership. Your Excellency may wish to note that such style is not in tandem with democratic tenets. Although we understand that the lockdown was done as a preventive measure against COVID-19, but that due process of consultation as done for other stakeholders was not followed is not good. Your Excellency should note that the leadership of the Church is not in any way an appendage to any religious or traditional institution in the State. That notwithstanding, we showed understanding and persuaded all churches to close their services. We also on our own volition directed that Palm Sunday rally and Easter activities be suspended in strict compliance with the principles of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. However, we wish to state without mincing words that any such arbitrary use of crude force to trample on our fundamental right to freedom of association and worship in the future will not be treated with kids' gloves;
8. In furtherance of Christian marginalization in Kwara State, we wish to put it on record that the lawful CAN leadership were never consulted nor involved in the Kwara State COVID -19 Technical Committee thus the interest of Christians were not taken care of. On this, we are not unaware of the divisive approach adopted by Your Excellency's government to hand pick individuals whom Your Excellency believes will do your bidding to serve in the Palliatives Distribution Committee, an offshoot of the main committee. This to us is an aberration that will be vehemently resisted if it should happen again in the future;
9. Your Excellency, we wish to again reassert the fact that the only organ that can speak on behalf, or represent, the Christian body in the State is the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Kwara State Chapter. No other individual or body is or can be authorized to do same. Thus, your government will do well to follow this established structure in your relationship with Christians in the State;
10. Though non-partisan, CAN is always open and ready to support and work with government for peace and welfare of the people. We are also always committed to praying always for the government in line with the injunction of our Lord and saviour.
CONCLUSION: The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Kwara State chapter hereby demands for fair representation of Christians in all aspects of governance in Kwara State and wish to reiterate our willingness to be available for sincere dialogue that will lead to a redress and reversal of this dangerous trend.
As it stands presently, having patiently borne with previous appointments that were grossly unfair to our faith, Kwara State Christians are not happy with this latest demonstration of unprecedented marginalization and discrimination against us in all spheres of governance in the State. We therefore reject the appointments, particularly of the heads of statutory bodies and ask for an immediate review to reflect our plurality as a state, and a practical demonstration of what Your Excellency promised Kwarans on May 29, 2019, after you were sworn in as Executive Governor.
Yours in the service of Kwara State, through the love of Our Lord and Saviour,
