What I'm about to write about KANO (KANAWA) and the Northern region generally is truth and the truth only!!!! So help me God.

I'm a Muslim from South west of Nigeria. I lives in Kano for a while, having lived most of my life in the city of Lagos, schooled 5years in EASTERN Nigeria , I said I should try a new region which is North and I went to Kano state.. Boom!! What I met in Kano was just like what Buhari promised us then before 2015 and what we have now.

KANO state is good and favourable for the core Northerner and I can said that again. Please don't risk your life for anything to live or visit Kanawa.
Is not healthy, the almajiris are almost everywhere and their illiterate youths already have their eyes on you waiting for a riot to happen in their community then viola!! You are gone so soon. If I as a muslim faithful can't live in such state I wonder how other people with religion denomination cope.

Below are some of my reasons why I dislike Kano(Northern region ) ;

1. The sun is HOT, so hot that you can melt if care is not taken. I bath 4 times a day, can you imagine?
Dust and granite everywhere due to lack of rainfall. Kano is a sahel region and as such has little rainfall. Heat and dust is much.

2. I'm a muslim born and breed up but I can't live with such people due to some personal security reasons.
Let me give some analogy :

The Hausawa see themselves as the best and perfect tribe on earth and as such they don't value any other person aside their tribesman. If you are Yoruba muslim, kogi muslim and you think you are one religion with Hausa's; my dear southern brother's and sister's any time there is little crisis you will be the first person to be killed and matchet even in the mosque while praying. Imagine the scenario!

3. You won't be able to talk freely with the opposite sex just because of some sharia law. You only live once, and as such cannot live my life in such primitive way.

4. Average Hausa person is TRIBALISTIC . They don't like to patronize you in business or any other trade if they have their tribe doing that business, they prefer to patronize their kinsmen.


5. Things are not cheap as portrays. Pure water cost #10 same as south. An orange is #10 or #20 same as south. I bought #200 suya and it was so small like heck. A room cost 24k - 30k at Tudun Wada.
Note : This is not Sabon gari else it will have been costlier.


6. All eyes on you!! I can say that again, in anything you do they are watching you and accordingly looking for how to blame you especially the landlords in the regions.
Imagine your friend came visiting and she is a female, you know the rest.

7. Transportation is expensive in Kano just as Lagos. The South West state I served you can board a bus 50naira and go any length of the state but in Kano you can enter a marwa and you will pay 300naira more or less depends on the journey.



Please my southern people. Fear North Don't be caught...

True talk, I stayed in Maiduguri before and I noticed the same thing

I cant even pass a single night up there. Never will .... their ugly reputation goes b4 em

Oga, I reside in Kano. Stop lying to people. Transportation is very affordable.

Says who? Keep deceiving people you hear me. God is watching you and your lots... Cheap my Ass. Nothing is cheap in the present day kano. I'll rather die in the South west than live in kano

Did you called #300 transportation cheap within Nasarawa lga ? Whereby in osun state you can tour almost the whole of the state capital with #50. Yes, it was that cheap.

No light in Kano too and also the Almajiri children, dust, illiterate youths littered everywhere looking for blood to suck

so whats the benefits of serving in kano

Kingsley1000:

Benefit? Get there first and observe yourself. Thank me later

Every thing you said is correct, I served in kano and finished just last month. things are not cheap in kano like people presume it to be,unless you are staying in sabon gari, your social life will be zero. walking and talking to a girl, all eyes will be on you. It's a core Islamic state with a lot of fanatics, I have not even talk of the sun and heat.

Seconded

Though I've never been to the North I can attest to one claim up there about Hausas been tribal. Even here in Lagos an average Aboki will not buy something from anybody else if his Aboki mate sell the same thing. What I fear most about them up there is the religious sentiment, even me as a Muslim still find it very difficult to live amongst them. They can be nice o but when Aboki vex ehn their eyes dey close totally.

Bros, In as much you are right in some of the points you made above, I bet you are exaggerating most of it. I live in Lagos since my childhood days but I am a Corper serving in Kano presently.
Foods and agricultural items such as onions, tomatoes, pepper, fruits are damn cheap. Also, transportation is way cheaper too and talking about tribalism, show me one State that is not tribalistic in Nigeria? Bros, the fact remains that you get adapted to somebody that is from the same tribe And culture as yours. So, what is so special about that?

Is it not same Kano I lived. Even here in our Lagos if I go to mile 12 market, ketu market to buy all the food items you mentioned they are also cheap. So what's the fuss?

Tribalism :
I schooled and lived in Nsukka Enugu state for 5yrs, served in Osun state, Born and breed in Lagos... I have been to kogi, Niger, Benin, Asaba, Onitsha, Kano, Abuja, kaduna kutiwenji, Jeda, Idah I can categorically tell you that the Northerner are more tribalistic, you won't understand until you experience it yourself.

Transportation isn't cheap as proclaimed. Not as cost as Lagos though

Just pray there is no riot one day, I still prefer the southern region atleast I'm safe.

No one is forcing you southerners to come to the north. Stay in your south and continue with your vices like rituals, armed robbery, yahoo yahoo etc.

Redeploy back to the south. The northerners aren't tying you down there. Heck not long ago they issued a quit notice to igbos to vacate the North.
If you don't like the North, fuckkk off.

What's the difference. Ritualist down south especially in the west, behead their victims and steal their organs. Heard of the baddoo gang that terrorised iKorodu and environs, they are in the habit of wiping out an entire family, killing their victims in the most gruesome of ways (they smash their victims head with grinding stones).

Don't pretend like the south is some kind of a crime free region. You are not chatting with an ignorant here.

stupiid abooki


The south west is 100% better than the whole 19 northern backward states,even with the revenue generated from the south,your people are still living in extreme poverty.

Go and thank the British that merge the South with the North,if not,take away the south,you northerners would have been the poorest country in the world,it will also be the country with the smallest economy.

Is an insult to compare the south west with your useless region stupiid foool
