And Katsina state is dubbed "Home of Hospitality", give me a break. Try going to Katsina if you're a Christian and see their "Hospitality".


P:S
Katsina state is home to Buko hari leader Muhammadu Buhari, weather he still lives there or he's relocated to Sambisa I can't tell.

Imo State as Eastern Heartland...not sounding smart or imaginative if you ask me. While not get a slogan that sounds nationalistic or conveys something like endowment in human or natural resources? This present slogan disparages the state and makes it look like some rural and not-just-there state. Someone can do better.

Noticed that some states have changed their slogan from what it used to be:
Sokoto state used to be: Born to rule while
Anambra state used to be: Home for all

Btw, Thanks for sharing @ OP

Centre of malpractice is more like it. During my WAEC period, many of my fellow students left my school to go to "miracle centres" in Kaduna - because my school did not condone exam malpractice.

They told me the answers to the questions were written on the board for all to copy. Many of them got great results owing to this, others had their results seized. I thank God I stayed in my school and my result was excellent. Hard work pays.
