It's on Kaduna-Abuja expressway, a very vast expanse of land. But I guess the main activity there is poultry since big housings for chickens are visible from the highway.

We were talking of kano.
So of what good or importance is the poultry farm since we still import close to 80% of that nation wide?

It means do not procrastinate the job you have to get done.

i.e, don't sleep while your neighbor's house is on fire.

It might mean other thing too.

I can't help noticing how all the pictures are devoid of human presence whereas this is said to be the most populous region in Nigeria.

It's not just the most populous, but also the most uncrowd. Put no lies the pics are somewhat empty.

yea try and visit Enugu and you would never regret it * we are very acommodating *.. Enugu is the capital of igboland as well as kano capital of the North west. Try and eat our indigenious food (OKPA), because i also ate wai-na and Dan-ma- lai-lai in kano (sha you know them ) tongue

Onitsha is nice but don't go to Aba ooo if not you would be suprise.. All the infrastruture in Aba are warn-out and decaying and the govt do not even care with reason best known to them. But i knw Aba would come back stronger!

portharcourt (am presently in ph ) is in south-south and a nice city if i must say. They are predominantly Ikwerre who attually speak and understand igbo but clam not to be igbo because of their oil reserve. But tribe like calabari and Ogoni can not be ignored.

I have been eating igbo food for long, I enjoy fufu, eba, ogbonlo soup and the rich vegetable soups and some kind of reddish, bitter salad, ise ewu must not be ignored grin. Sorry I didn't mention I was born in lagos. I am familiar with igbo food, but I believe the ones in igbo state will teste better. grin

It's nice knowin you.

You mean Abacha and Ibb spending money to aid kano development? Perhaps you will be able to tell me what they did and how they sponsored and aid kano either with their money or govt money.

Obj as a military officer has a house in KD. Don't know about others.

I think you really don't know what you are saying.
KD is the only state in the north that is trying to compete with kano, except ofcourse if you also think kano too is poorer than your mention regions.

My brother you wasted all this ink writing nonsense. You are not here in the so don't comment what you don't know. Abia state you see I better than all these northern states even with how dirty it is because most of what you see in abia are individual efforts of their men and women after the civil war while on the other hand all what you see in those pics are all federal government projects, I repeat they are federal government projects for 38yrs o. Please tell us another story, if Na about north, in the words of Chinua Achebe" its a dry arid land" Am sorry

Just travel down and see for yourself, a city without "ba shiga" and "channel Os"- round mud houses. grin

So in your high morality standard you expect a city where you will be able to enter married people's houses, without being called in or having any business therein.

Whatever you want to prove, the North is still lagging behind. I know almost everywhere in the North-West and North-East and I can tell you, 95% of it is in Stone Age.

Kano is overhyped, i am from Enugu state but was born in kano and grow up in kano. I was born in kurna Makaranta Banbalayi dala local govt kano grin . I stayed in Kano for 18 good year before moving to other part of the north where i spent some year too. .

Most of the pictures the op post are picture of the capital city/ federal project which other state in Nigeria can boast of.. Most of those picture of kano are places like sharada, ohtoro, ugwan-ukwu, the road to farm centers and country mail etc. If not for the coming of kwankwasiya Amana cheesy that brough street light to kano, we have been living in darkness.

kano is beautiful but they are thesame level with Enugu. Ohmen you need to see Enugu state!! GOD bless chimaroke and sullivan chima.. Places like jagiwa, kastina, Gombe are still learners where Enugu is.

kano tubin giwaaaa, ko mai da ka zo da shi mum fi ka cheesy

Enugu Adi go mmaaaa grin

When last have you been to kurna? Sharada is not in any of the pics op shared.
Sharada from phase3 downward is more local and unfine than rijiyan lemo. Why, because sharada is industrial area R.lemo is residential area.

I stayed in both areas.
Do you know layin shata, babban layi that where I once reside and schooled in Bokavo barrack.

Mr Poster what of Borno and Adamawa?

The problem with the north isn't in your original post. The simple reason people dread you and your people is the well recorded history of intolerance and hostility to others who neither share nor subscribe to your ideologies and faith.

For many years even before Maitasine and Boko Haram northern youths have been known for periodic riots that always seem to involve the burning of churches with the destruction of lives and properties of non northerners.

I lived in the north for years my self and you know it is true. For me and my family Abuja is the boundary. Anybody going beyond is parking his life at owners risk!

Give the name of one single church burned in the north before maitatsine. And give us your of northern history source.
