When we hailed Kwankwaso for investing billions in people’s lives to get quality education, you didn’t tag us hater, now we’re calling out a program that will cause more children out of school, poverty and insecurity, we’re suddenly haters of the north.
It’s interesting how people accept that quality secular education costs money, but expect Islamic education to remain permanently cheap regardless of the teachers, facilities, and resources involve
Kano is a huge exception to this. We have so many families with deep, old school generational wealth built purely on trade, and none of them are in politics. In fact, most don’t even like socializing with families that have political ties.
No entiendo cómo puede ser. Vi a Michael Jackson morir, a Maradona morir, a Pelé morir, a la reina Isabel morir; vi pasar a tres papas. Sobreviví a una pandemia, vi el comienzo de internet. Vi el CD cambiar a Spotify, vi cambiar el DVD a Netflix, vi pasar del teléfono fijo a un iPhone. Y estoy viendo el surgimiento de la IA. Y solo tengo 30 años.
Oga Bash, the VP’s statement wasn’t in anyway diminishing the role that Kano played in both their entrepreneurial journeys rather it was merely amplifying the role Lagos played in getting them to where they are today.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu's early capital, commercial networks, entrepreneurial culture and support systems all originated from Kano long before their expansion to Lagos. Though, there is no denying that Lagos provided the scale, infrastructure and market opportunities that accelerated their growth into global business giants. However, attributing their success solely to Lagos overlooks the crucial role that Kano and the North played in shaping their journeys.
Even if every billionaire on earth gathered in Monaco, Otedola would not be some ordinary tourist. Someone ranked the 2,750th richest person on the planet today belongs to a circle so rare that, in global terms, his wealth places him among the top 0.000033% of humanity.
Besides, according to Forbes records, he is a landlord there. And in that country, there are only two citizens in his wealth bracket. Only two who are billionaires.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
There are individuals in the South having children under bridges, many later turn out to be agberos, cultists & yahoo boys. There are individuals in the North getting married with no means to cater for those children, many turn out to be bandits & terrorists.
2 truths can exist.
It was Lagos that gave Africa its richest man, not Kano. Aliko Dangote is a Lagos man. Again, it was not Kano but Lagos that gave Africa its second richest man, Abdulsamad Ishaq Rabiu (BUA). Lagos made almost everybody who is who in Nigeria.
