That was how the fundamental mistakes started. They started big shorting with oyinbo magic machines in a bare and dusty environment without ever thinking of how to replicate them.

You mean Africans.

redsun:


Yeah, African post-colonial leaders. They sowed the seed of irresponsibility and wantonness after they took over from the colonial master. The seeds of the quota system and myopia.

nonplussed:
Brainlessness! See roads.

Is that the kind of roads the british were driving their own cars at the time?

Walahi the death of the country began even before it was born!

Abdullahi Bayero CBE CMG dan Muhammad Abbas (1881–1953) was Sarki (Emir) of Kano, with headquarters in Kano, Kano State, Nigeria from 1926 to 1953.As a traditional ruler he had extensive powers under the British colonial authority

Bayero was born in 1299 AH (1881). He received his early Islamic education at the Sarki’s palace and he was guided by the prominent Islamic scholars of his time.

He was appointed Sarki Kano in April 1926 and was formally installed on 14 February 1927.

Kano city was the first place in the North to have electricity and a water supply on a large scale. This was chiefly the result of the initiative of Abdullahi Bayero, who proposed in 1927 that surplus funds in the Native Administration accounts be used to provide an electricity and a water supply for the whole of Kano. Until then, these services had been supplied only to the Government area

Sarki Kano Abdullahi Bayero was the first Sarki to perform the Hajj, hence he is popularly known as Sarki Alhaji. He was accompanied on this journey by his younger brother Galadima Abdulkadir and Ma’aji Mallam Sulaiman, who later became the first Walin Kano.

Sarki Kano Alhaji Abdullahi Bayero died on Thursday 13th Rabi al-Thani 1373 (23 December 1953) #northernnigeria #kano #safepassagetothenorthproject #ASIRIMagazine #vintagestyle #cardillac #NigeriaHistory #emirofkano #islamic #historic #historyphotography #photooftheday #tgif #weekend #historychannel #nigeria #arewapeople #emirates

I think we are being too sentimental.

Asphalt roads were barely 50 years at the time.

Not every city even in the advanced world were paved.

the ancient Bini empire had paved cities and streets lighted by palm oil lamps.
This is the unholy romance between the north and the colonial demons that made the north to riot against Independence.
Who does that?
