Ali Bin Alua (on passenger seat of his 1923 Ford Model T) was the first person to own a car in Kano. A trans-saharan trader from Libya, Bin Alua settled in Kano in 1878 and built the first storey building in the city. Around early 20th Century, he was the richest man in Northern Nigeria. He died in 1958.

Is this one a car or a cart. Tell the new clothes that are doing fashion to be careful, cos rags were once clothes. Nothing in life would not fade, the only constant thing in life is death. The value of your life after you have gone would be measured by the number of lives you imparted you were alive. Do your best to put smiles on faces....

Do you want to learn to get motivated, learn about skills and strategies in business or academics, or you want to learn from the likes of Lee Yuan Kew, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Thomas Sankara, Robert Kiyosaki, you need counseling and guidance to success in life, or you want to take an introvert or IQ test, then visit here

The dude is a pacesetter worthy to be celebrated. He wasn't only the first person to have owed a Car Kano, he also double up as the first person to have built a Storey building.

Achieving what you can only dream of. He has set a record, you try and break it. Try and be the first to buy a bicycle in your village.

Interesting. How did he manage to drive the car around if after aost a century Nigeria is still battling with construction and maintenance of roads.
