I have never been to Kano, but being Nigerias 2nd most metropolitan city, it appears to me as a fascinating city. I would like to know how Kano fares in the aspect of the Economy, Poverty rate, Security , Education, Tourism and Infrastructural development especially in comparism with other Nigerian cities. I hope the OP has some beautiful photos of the city of Kano to show us. 1 Like |

On education : Anambra vs Kano WAEC 2014: Out of 66k Kano students only 18K got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 27% while Anambra that registered 52k students, 34k got 5 credits and above with a pass rate of 65%. Makes you wonder if Boko Haram is going away soon? Education budget: Kano 2014=N20.8bn; Anambra=N7.172bn. Explaining the numbers for dunces again! For every N3 Kano spends on education, Anambra , spends N1 : Ratio: 3 to 1. Percentage of educational outcome: Kano: 27%; Anambra=65%.. It means that Anambra state is 38% more efficient and productive in training younger ones for university education than Kano with 1/3 of Kano's budget. 3 Likes |

adconline:Hey don't you ever compare kano state with your village again. Development is not all about education{waec/neco/jamb results}, and if it is, then we will say ekiti state is the most developed state in Nigeria. These infrastructures and services below are what matters when people are talking about development; • Health care centers • Good intercity roads • Water • Security • Educational institutions • Social welfare • Urban farming • Job opportunities/employment • Land usage • Sanitation/waste control • Transportation You can't compare kano state with your village if the above mentions will be put into consideration. Kano state is like 5000 miles ahead of your village in every aspect of infrastructural development and services efficiency. The only state in Nigeria that is slightly ahead of kano state when infrastructural/social development is mentioned should be Lagos state{and this is largely because of all the advantages/opportunities Lagos had} Please don't insult our sensibility by comparing kano state to your state{village} again.

EMI Index refers to states with the highest no of exam malpratices [Bayelsa, Sokoto, Ekiti and Imo states] While EEI refers to states with the least [Yobe, FCT and Bauchi states] The rankings of geopolitical zones was however based on EEI.And it went thus; 1. NE [Lowest ExamMalpractices] 2. NC 3. SW 4. SE 5. NW 6. SS [Highest Number of ExamMalpractices] The statement that further confirms the above, is where the NE was called 'the most ethics-friendly zone'. |
