I can't even differentiate btw them and the hausa's. Who cares if you are a nigerian or not so long as you have the melanin pigment you remain invincible. Do you know foreigners enjoys equal right and privileges like we the citizens. I wonder how these other africa countries are able to decipher a person that is not from their country merely by looking. We are ranked 4th as the african country with the highest immigrants but yet we dont complain and are not ready to deport every african.

Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, on Thursday in Kaduna signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) for the road component of the Kaduna Urban Renewal Project.

In his speech at the event, the governor said it would be the most comprehensive urban renewal project in the history of Kaduna state.


“These investments will improve our competitiveness, support economic dynamism and promote the wellbeing of our people. Similar projects are envisaged for our two other main cities, Kafanchan and Zaria.”

According to him, the Kaduna Urban Renewal Project is in response to the accelerated urbanisation of the state capital.


”Our state capital now straddles four local government areas: Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Chikun and Igabi. These metropolitan areas are projected to be home to more than half of the state’s population by 2050,” he said.

He disclosed that the project would make Kaduna a friendly home to its residents, a safe place to live in, equipped to support and promote the livelihoods of citizens.

”Kaduna city has grown tremendously in the 100 years since its founding. But public infrastructure in the city has not kept pace with the vast increase in its population.

“Neither has infrastructure followed its expansion into new districts.

“We acknowledge that the existing infrastructure is not robust enough to support the current population, let alone cater for the projected population,” he said.

He therefore said that the project would address the challenges that exist in delivering urban infrastructure.

“It is an accelerated, coordinated, integrated and sustainable urban renewal project that will position the State as a choice place to work, live and play.

”Along with ongoing social sector investments in education and healthcare, concrete upgrades in housing, transportation, energy systems and other infrastructure will create jobs, improve the welfare of our people and enhance economic activity,” he added.


According to him, the project has 14 components among which are roads, mass transit, housing , improved land use, street lights, parks and recreational centres.

Others include markets, neighbourhood centres and waste management.

He noted that, the roads component of the Kaduna renewal project will open up the city, connect communities and create alternative routes to reduce travel time, from north to south, and east to west.

“This will have a multiplier effect on housing, business and social development. It is also expected to promote integration across communities and enhance unity.”

He said the renewal project will begin with the construction of seven new roads spanning 23.4kms within Kaduna metropolis.

“All the roads selected are based on the Max Lock Master-plan for Kaduna city. Fourteen existing roads will also be dualised or upgraded.

”New roads will connect Kabala Costain to Aliyu Makama Road in Barnawa and Malali to College Road. A new 9.65kms road will connect Rabah Road to Nnamdi Azikiwe Road (the Western By-pass), with a link to the Rigasa train station.

“Another 5.73km road will connect the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua road in Millennium City to the Eastern By-pass.

“While the the urban renewal project will dualise WAFF Road, from the NEPA Roundabout to Essence Junction.


“It will also dualise Yakubu Gowon Way and build an underpass at Leventis Roundabout. Several other roads will be upgraded, including Alkali Road, Tafawa Balewa, Swimming Pool Road, Poly Road to Dutsenman Road via Kasuwan Barci Roundabout, Kinshasha Road, Katuru Road, and Shehu Laminu to Ramat Road in Ungwan Rimi. The 4km Nasarawa to Flour Mill road will also be completed.”

He explained that the roads captured represent a significant investment in the present and the future of the capital city.

El-Rufai stressed that the roads would be constructed and delivered to world-class standards in reasonable time, with markings, solar lighting and shoulders.

“That is why we are today signing a Memorandum of Understanding with CCECC to build all the new roads and upgrade the existing ones.


“It is my understanding that CCECC will today flag-off the 5.73kms road project to link Millennium City to the eastern By-pass.”

According to him, Government has been assured that the Malali- College Road will be delivered within 12 months while many of the other roads will be delivered over a 24-month time frame.

“The road projects will also embrace the demands of our mass transit programme.

“Kaduna needs to upgrade beyond the rickety cabs and rickshaws (tricycles) that pass for public transportation in the city.

“Kaduna Renewal will bring to fruition our long-held aspirations for a mass transit system.”


He disclosed that the Kaduna State Transport Regulatory Agency (KADSTRA) will unveil its chosen operator for the bus mass transit when it concludes the selection process.

“The responsible agencies will similarly update the public on their mandates for delivering Kaduna Renewal.”

The governor called on the public to support the delivery of the projects for the benefit of all adding that, widening the roads will require the removal of buildings and attachments in the public interest.

”Construction work will also impose some temporary inconveniences” he said.

There is difference between Niger Hausa and Nigeria hausa. The Hausa language is even difference though understandable just like Yoruba in Nigeria and Yoruba in benin rebublic. The northern actually know the diffrence and some of us who have spend considerable years in the North.

If you want to know how Nigeria take immigrants issue serious, you may need to visit seme border. The northern border is very porous and base on religious similarites with Niger which is very dear to the Hausa than nationalism, they care less about regularising them.

Good news Kenyan lads who wan study in the land of the Queen .
Kenyan students will soon stay longer in the United Kingdom after the completion of their studies, the High Commissioner to Kenya Nic Hailey has said.

In the new move, Mr Hailey noted that the student visas would be extended to give learners more time to gather industry experience in the United Kingdom.

These people are integrated into the system already. They are Muslim as well which automatically make them a family member of their host community in the North. There is NOTHING to be done about it. unless religion will not intervene with politics.

Yes, and likewise powerful oil COMPANY like exxon mobil who recently open up a new office this week and ENI oil company was recently awarded a right to explore Ghana sea in search of more oil. Goverment policies and peaceful enviroment seems to be the key that is unlocking this development. over four Caribbean country are willing to abolish visa for Ghanaian citizens. Jamaica had from July 1 become a visa free to Ghanaian. A positive direction i think. And there is this 400 years home calling, All Africans that has been taken thru slavery are encourage to come home. The bigger event will take place next month. GHANA is making money and at the same championing pan African movement.

Ghana is currently lobby to have the headquater of the Afctfa. I hope it comes to fruition . it has the ability to change the economy of the state.

The reality is. GHANA and Nigeria are more closer to each other than even togo or benin their respective neighbour. if Nigeria really have the kind of law and policy makers just like that of Ghana. by now, she will be competing with advance nation. 2.3 million barrel of oil a day isn't a joke.

About Google AI, I read somewhere one of the reason they pitched tent in africa was to train it to differentiate different dark shades of people..sometimes back it once confused a monkey with a black man..

To be honest vaxx if that's one of major reason then Kenya should have been the perfect ocation...Kenya got the largest shade of people you can classify..from the darkest (southern sudanese) to the the lightest of all..we even have the Somalis

i actually don't really know what interest Google of setting up In a nation not even close to 1/3rd of Nigeria . ( because Google will depend on data to flourish the lab and Ghana population or activity might not be enough for this) But i suspect Ghana vice president probably is the key behind it . he championed the idea since late 2017 when Google sent some technocrat down Ghana.


But this is what a reporter to CNN have to say.

Actually it will be better you called it conflict of interest. Because some Muslim and Christian are not even in support of others. Nigeria issue cut across many factors. And religion actually is just a cover up.

oil and gas play a significant role in the problem of the country. if you understand this well, then you will get my point and what i mean by conflict of interest.today. minoroty ijaw and igbo are majorly Christian but they don't even get together in politics .


Ghana also has tribal differences but not a major threat., just of recent some part of Ghana are threating to break away. But goverment handle it wisely. It does not become a global concern. many Ghanaian living in Ghana are not even aware of the news.
