I am very sure i am more literate than your father

Welcome back. The thread is about to get hot again. Am back with full strength, experience and stories to tell. Am sure u will enjoy it.

Gentlemen, I have never seen a more religious place like Kano. Everything is religion. The neutral ground for starting any thing is if u r in same religion with them. my Kano girlfriend amused me so much. we don't discuss anything apart from her religion. she spend most of our time talking about how her religion is the only thing that we keep us together.

Justifying my earlier stand, I took a time during my revision class to talk about Kano. I asked my class of 100 students when they start islamiya and western education, I was told it begins from birth. That's the first thing they do. it was a risk but I discussed religion with my students, I asked them questions justifying my earlier take.

I was supervising a class, one of the student came with a baby, due to pity, I backed the baby, during d exam, I asked her when the child will start school and which school, I was told Islamic education at age three.

LOL,you welcome,keep it coming bro.

I must acknowledge the fact that Kano natives are good. They can relate with u and make u happy. I have met so many of them. They brought gift to me during Sallah, we went out together to see the Emir as he went to his mothers home in Dorayi. it was fun celebrating Sallah here, they exhibited their culture to the peak, everywhere was bubbling but no excitement. They cooked their best food.

But one thing I realised is that, majority went to sabon gari both to drink and for party. The same sabon gari they called an evil place, there I saw their girls in swimming pools, with no hijab, nothing. I couldn't believe it, neither will u believe it.

LOL,you welcome,keep it coming bro.

thanks

I had to give my kano girlfriend a break when I realised she was too religious. I called it a quit, till we met one day at my HOD's office and she started apologizing. she came with her friends, seeing how shy she used to be, I opened it up, I told her friends that she is my friend, I could see the fears caused by being shy, the confidence too, she lost herself, for the very first time, we sat together, she looked at me eyeballs to eyeballs. Shame gone, fears gone. Her beautiful face was glaring, yes, she didn't come with hijab, she wore their native dress, with her shoes and hand bag matching the dress.

She apologized to me, she told her friend that I will soon convert to Islam. I looked at her, she knows it's practically impossible, she demanded that I sent her a success message. it was exam time.

Day by day, I kept receiving calls and messages from ladies, my students and those that collect my number from their friends, will I still keep myself am I about to eat the forbidden fruit? why will I break my virginity to a northern girl?? this questions only time can answer

Ok, We all know you ain't a virgin, but keep lying though!

Op welcome back

Lol, believe that part at your own peril.
Guy me nah Virgin

missyojo:
Op welcome back

Thank you Swthrt, happy reading.

what more can I say, having a feel of what lecturers feel, ranging from exam hall to unnecessary calls, love and gifts, funny words and stylish green light, it seems there is no difference here.

Every girl wants to associate with us, they call, show love to us. I think that's the best we are getting now. Since they are tied strictly to their religion, truth be told, sex here is not cheap unless you take extraordinary measures. The reason is so is largely caused by the fact that most of their life revolve round kano and their religion. their culture made it in such a way that they know no man.


one of my student's was telling me how, a typical Kano girl live her life. it was shocking to realise it was coming from a girl. They accepted the fact that they are not exposed but it still shock me to realise that they actually do nothing at home.

Honestly, I thought we already lost ur article to d cold mouths of those who was wagging their tongues trying to derail ur story. Thank God u re back n 4 good.

Here in kano, things are becoming cheaper. If u have the strength to cook, the it's ur time to get fat. Okro N50 here, you can't finish it. They is this farmer, he sell farm product directly from his farm, oh the whole corpers living around here can't forget this man.

If you want to cook, just tell the man to give u tomatoes + vegetables + onions + pepper, = N100, and he will park it and give to you. the first day I experienced it, it was like a dream, but I see it's because, we are in the rainy season.

Also, having good friends in Nysc can save u a lot, here, am grateful to my female corpers, they always make sure am well fed. they see to it that eat well. Most of them came with this "I am engaged " talk, like we want to disengage them, but now we are living our dream. Anyway, inside the lodge, kano is cool.

Mrphysics is it true dat once u re in kano nd they discover ur name is chukwu or chi u hv a very high chance of being killed?

Lol it's not true. Apart from strict religious rules, Kano is cool. Just that with such a name, u have no place in their girls heart.

LOL! I also have a chi in my name, and I am igbo and i'm also in kano right now. Nothing has happened to me, so nothing will happen to you too

You wan knack that Hausa friend abi . Allah is watching you oo

This OP sha dey give us chop sha.

I'm serving in a town close to Katsina city in Katsina state. I can say one or two things

1. Islamic education and Western education DO NOT go hand-in-hand. The students go to school in the morning then come back in the evening for Islamic class. I know this cos I teach in a public school and my fellow corp members who r Muslims also teach them
2. I have seen Hausa students in Katsina city WITH THEIR SCHOOL UNIFORM ON,and NO HIJAB in the public.

Many of the previous posters are not entirely wrong cos the OP is just painting a very exaggerated picture of Kano.

PS: Katsina is 2hrs from Kano hence the comparison

Thank you my brother. We said it right from the beginning the Op lied in so many things.

mrphysics, see let me tell you something, i like your write up and understand your position towards the North or better put " Kano" conservative lifestyle, but bro if you ask me, i will always prefer life in the North to life in the east. I love the cool hausa people, look out for them, and i promise you, you gonna enjoy that city. I stayed in Bauchi for a month and the experience i got from the cool sets among them, i will never forget. This same experience i had is what is pulling me today to go back there for my service and by God's grace i will start life there. Bro just humble yourself and associate with them with a free mind, you won't regret it. I wish I have the time to pour out my heart to you, inasmuch as my friends there were actually my brother's workers, i joked freely with them all even with the site engineers and the senior labourers among them, i "entered" their hearts. I was confident that if any one was planning to harm me, that all of them would have rallied around me in defense. One day like that i quarreled with our block suppliers because he disobeyed my instructions to off load the blocks at a particular site, he came back the second time and disobeyed me the second time, i was just looking at him, as he was about to start truck, just as his workers were waving at me bye bye as their custom were anytime d are going, this man (he is even a fulani, a sect that i dread too much, and he is also the manager of the block company) he came down surprisingly and walked up to me and gave me a 500 naira note which he said i should use for my launch and as well apologized over our disagreements. I was so moved with compassion as d waved me bye, that's why i so much love cool tempered and friendly hausas even here in the east, i always help them with anything d need me for, why? Because d have been so so good to me. During their break hours then, d will wash pray and we will go in groups to buy food or relax outside. The only problem that i had with a few of them, i will say is when i started getting close to their sisters that came to sell their foods (mama put). I became so close to them to the extent that about 2 or 3 of the guys started looking at me somehow and will say somethings in their language and as well started withdrawing themselves, i know d felt jealous because some of the girls liked me and will always sit around me in the shade that i always sat and we will be chatting and d will be using my phones, i started teasing one of them sef that is really busty that i will like to "razzle" but she said No, that she loves me but will like me to be touching my head on the ground (that is convert), i told her ok, let's date, no marriage, she still refused saying the same thing and their anger for me is borne out of my interest for the busty gal, because d themselves were rallying around her, obviously to razzle her too, so my presence intimidated them and is a normal thing. Bro if i can enjoy Bauchi that is very dry and small, how much more you that is in a bigger city like Kano. All it will cost you is money to spend, a FREE Mind and a humble spirit, forget say d are illiterates, who literacy help? start associating with the locals, d are d ones that will spoil you and give you the basic gists that you need and can as well protect you if you treat them well. I noticed that you are only flocking with corpers and your students. My closest friends in my university days are my northern friends, though d are igbos but they have those northern traits and i found them more trustworthy than my igbo friends wey too d jonse. The regret i have is that i am not yet fluent in hausa neither do i understand it well, it hampered my relationship with them because many of them can't hear English both with the male and female folks, the worst being the females, that couldn't hear even pidgin, the busty gal that i wanted to razzle no d hear even the English word "No", na say her friends d interpret my pidgin to am, in other occasions, na my guys d interpret for me. imagine that kind frustration, na y i no collect Anyone of them(ladies) their phone numbers, it was really frustrating and generally i enjoyed and cruised Bauchi city because i had the money to spend then with them and they really enjoyed my company. In short, i liked many of them and d like me too, not because i was their "Migida" but i have learned how to enter people's heart and i always do wherever i am. Bro, feel free and enjoy those people, they are still God's creatures and do have their jovial and friendly sides and above all respect their religion. I almost caused "kasalla" for myself when i unknowingly flouted their religion ordinance by going to touch one of them as he was praying and trying to pass in front of them praying but i was corrected in love and i quickly apologized. So mrphysics, there's nothing to fear, feel free and enjoy yourself while living in obedience to their rules o, Is there land, remember.

@Chriswazo, an hausa man scammed me yesterday and i'm not happy about it. Right now, I'm beginning to review my stand on the integrity of the average hausa man. When the first of them that yesterday noticed that I knew what he was trying to do, he started laughing. By then I had left his place and finally got to the stand of the young man that still scammed me. They saw my dressing, and they also saw that I didn't speak in hausa, so they knew I'm new in town.
This is not the first time it is happening to me. On many occasions I have been charged double the fair because either the Keke guy or the bus conductor knew that I don't understand their language and that I probably cannot describe where I was going to.
What I'm saying is that if you don't know how to speak hausa, then don't expect any good thing from the hausa man

They did the same to me in Abuja once
the keke man charged me 400 for something that should have cost 100naira.
I was so angry when the person hosting me told me how I was overcharged.

One day I was going to a friend's place! I entered a bus, the conductor wasn't hearing English as is their tradition here neither was i hearing hausa. When I told him where I was going to, he said I would pay 120. Normally the fair to that place is 50. I didn't have any option so I entered. When we took off, a man beside me asked me where I was going to because he heard when the conductor told me 120, I told him. Immediately he got angry and asked the conductor to refund me immediately. The guy did without even uttering a word. Obviously he was just out to scam me because he saw I didn't understand hausa.
Broda, forget them hausa people o, they are one of the most corrupt o!
