Assalamu alaikum,
Is GTG possible this year (2009)? Where? When? Could Mudacris commitee start some actions. Chairman of LOC Dan barno needs to come up with some proposals.
The sooner the preparations start, the better.
Gaskiya ne: where are we going to start from?
Engineer, I think it is good that you reminded us abt the gathering now.
If I may suggest, I think Yankari Holiday Resort will be a good choice, but everything depends on the organiser's consent and approval.
I intend to offer a helping hand by talking to Yankari Holiday Resort Management. Will sometimes this week speak with the GM Hotels or GM operations ( if the forumnites agree) and see whether I can secure the Multipurpose Hall for us. Hands remain crossed. The only problem is : they rent it at a cost of N200,000.00 per programme i.e even if it's a matter of a day programme, and I believe most of us here are going to complain about it. However, I, still being the Site PM even though have left the place for almost a year, will see how I can influence the decision of the GM operations.
Another problem is : most of us will be coming from a far. And definitely some would want to sleep there. This I cannot assure anybody. In case one wants to stay and pass the night, one can come along with his accommodation fee. The least at Yankari is N 12, 500 per night. This was the price we agreed with the Management that are chargeable from visitors before I left for Jigawa.
I dunno whether there's change in plan, but will also find out from the GM. About feeding, I think I can pursuade our Cooks at the restaurant to prepare food for us only for that day i.e. depending on our contribution and level of arrangement. Becuase even the food, most of us cannot afford. They sell it at N850 per plate. And I believe the likes of Rehab, Ladi, Hanne and Uche can come to our rescue.
Peace.
Jibo
nura, its not possible for us to make it happen at Yankari
because of the huge finance involved.
last year it was done in kano. I am suggesting jigawa for
this years' GTG, that means nura should still go ahead and
make all other arrangements, it doesnt matter even if it is
going to hold on top of the jigawa mountains lol.
Salam,
I am 100% with you, DB. The finance is so exorbitant. :o I laughed as I finished reading Nura's reply, wallahi.
And, choosing Jigawa as our venue is not a bad idea. But who and who do we have in Jigawa? Don't know. ::)

No problem Dan Barno I was just envisaging. I did nt say it must be at Yankari. I respect your views, and whateve you think is what we are going to do. I think Jigawa 3 star hotel, state library, or Jigawa poly will be good for our venue. What do you think?

Dan-Borno, your suggestion is ok persay, but i think if we take the GTG to Jigawa we might be missing touch with the other members, i will say we should do it in Kano like always, remember its Kanoonline, though for all Hausawa's and northerners, and Kano is like where most of the members are, and as such there is a chance the organisation will be much easier here. wht do you think?
may be mr. mouse and cursor should check the attendance
list before saying that most of the members who attended
last year's GTG are living in kano.
you know jigawa's lamido and his talakawa summit is something
we should stand by him.
just my views.
I hope you are not implying that there are more members in Jigawa than Kano. Anyway, the reason for the bad turn-out last year was as a resultof the poor communication medium we have, i believe that this time if we device a better means of communicating the event we may have a better turn-out, going by the level of dormancy by members these days i suggest we go mobile with sms, we should compile the list of members we know we have their phone numbers and invite them via sms, what do you think?
GUys, we seriously need to rap this thing up within this month so we can make a decent advert throughout December, so we need to rap it up like NOW. D.B. you need to list out the organisers now especially the Kano guys and give out responsibilities so we can get to work or we are risking not haveing our GTG. Please.
Assalamu alaikum,
I wish to propose tyhe following as members of LOC:
1. Mudacris
2. Muhsin
3. Danmegona
4. GGK
5. Nura Jibo
6. Waziri, and
7. Hajiya Husnaa

I think the LOC need to start some actions and give us feedback next week Wednesday.

3-Danmegona: I'm hopefull my friend will do his best, inshaAllah.
4-GGNK: This fellow sincerely dey busy as machine, hence can't do much. I darned know he would if he had the chance, for he really did margically the other time.
5-Nura Jibo: This fella is as well busy, I know. He's there writing, preparing for paper presentation and so on. But that notwithstanding, I kinda feel he's gonna do it.

Anyway, its high time somebody made a move, i concor. I dont know if the other people will be opportuned, and i dont know if all of us live in Kano, I know Nura and Waziri are not living in Kano, so i dont know how they will make the organising possible.
@Muhsin. Do you really have to speak for them? You may be wrong you know.

Have we agreed to do it in Jigawa? If yes, then I will in sha Allah pay for the venue at 3 star hotel or Jigawa state library. Next. Muda kindly go ahead with your text messages that we wish to propose December 25th Christmas day as the day of GTG-we are not celebrating xmas though.Lol!!! At least we don't have to join them, but to look different by doing something on that day. What do you think Konline? Any proposal for the date? Let's have more views pls if we wanna make it happen again. Lol!!!

Allah ya sa maqbuliya ce! 8)
Nuruddeen,it hasn't been concluded if the event is taking place in Jigawa.
I advise it should hold in Kano. So please could you pay for the Kano venue. I propose the Alliance francaise reception hall(where the last event took place),if Muda could arrange for the venue like he did last year.
Dan megona and Muhsin can also arrange for the Item 7.They did that excellently well last year.
Since DB will by that time have become used to Meat,we do not necessarily need a whole roasted ram. Some suya sticks will do.
Waziri has a list of the members that attended the last get together.
Husnaa is in town so she might attend.
EMTL is the chairman of the organising comittee. His solid words could encourage the organisers a lot.
BKGZ pls support too.
Allah ya bada sa'a.
Salam All,
I have seen all the progress, its good, i just wanted to say that i'm not so sure if i can assure you Alliance Francais this year, i have already booked it for my Alumni Association get together, i wish we could get british council though. and i stand by my motion that the event should be held in Kano.
Everything else is good.
Ma'assalam.
Salam,
Muda and all; I quite know of British Council. The place is not that fit for such a gathering, its being very expensive notwithstanding. What I mean it that: very much likely outsiders (intruders) are going to fill up the venue as there is no specific identification to recognize that that person is a member of K-Online or not. But Alliance Francie is more silent, more outside, more serine and the likes.
And the issue of cost; I think hiring the venue--Multi-Purpose or Ampi-theater, would cost us about =N=50, 000 or so. You see... while organizing the last one and everything hardly did cost more than that amount of money.
Considering these facts, I kinda still pester you to re-think over getting it once again, even for a token fee. It would be really better.
Further still, where are we now? I like to see other members contributing please. Thanks
GTG 2009: 1430AH. . .I doubt... ::)

I will like to express my grief and disappointment over the failure of the get together this year. i conclude that its totally our fault and lack of enthusiams and "Kishi" of this online community, if not then why are we not doing anything about it? Everybody is pulling out, Nura you are basing your reasons of not attending because you suggested it should be done in Jigawa but the suggestion was refuted, Haba? traditionally it has always be done in Kano, and it wouldnt make much sence for us to make a kanoonline get together inb Jigawa, besides how many jigawa members live in Jigawa?
I'm not trying to attack anybody in particular, i mentioned Nura because i just saw his comment and i couldnt believe my eyes. Anyway, i busted my ass trying to get us a Venue even though i the chances seemed feeble, but i did at a give away price, i put my sweat and my money trying to get things done down here, but that all went to nothing, i was told members are not interested by EMTL, Haba? this is unbelievable. Last time in Alliance we all agreed that we willl be meeting every last Saturday of the year, every one agreed, but this year we are all lukewarm? Why? its the holiday season, if we dont do this, how can we be moving this site forward? and we complain everyday that its getting boring? We keep on blaiming Facebook and so on when we ourselves refuse to do what we should do. How much sacrifice will it cause us to attend the Get together ddso we could maintain or develop the already dying state of this site?
People, i'm not happy with this development, its a shame to us really i must say, i feel so ashame because i have already sent an invite to mebers and friends on Facebook and to Professor Adamu and the Admin, only to learn its not holding again.
Gaskiyya to akwai Gyara.
Salam,
It has just occurred once again!
The whole GTG dramatic saga left me unsurprising but unpleased. What I mean by saying I am not surprised at is that; we just do what we are capable of doing. And distasted because we fail (after seemingly strong vow to devoid that weakness) as we apparently couldn't resist that "shortcoming". Too bad.
It's being really mind-touching and mind-boggling; and disappointing. This is undeniable.
All that's to be said have been rightly said by Muda. And other responses made to this OP, especially mine and those of EMTL.
Please great KanoOnline members and numerous but mysterious visitors, I want to you to spare some of your valued time and follow these links for a better understanding of my point:
50% Of Nigerians Are Muslims (http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-335959.64.html)
1 Northerner Vs 99 Southerner = Nairaland Contribution (http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-329358.0.html)
Did you? You get commentary? Welcome. Thanks.
Muhsin
@Muhsin
4get those bloody southerners. But forget not kanoonliners attitude toward our ur gtg. I feel ur pain, dear.
I am sorry please for this seemingly late comment but I still believe it is not late for the get together. But I want to suggest this:
If we are afraid of paying for a venue in Kano that may turn out to be a waste of money and resources because the turn out may be minimal, why won't we just meet at Funtua, EMTL's resident.
This is a fair alternative since if the turnout is not good enough we will not say we lose anything. If we are lucky to make it no matter how few we maybe, it will still be we have made it happen or how do you see it?
Waziri
i come in peace and greet all of you in the name of Allah
the Most Merciful the Most Gracious. as most of you are
aware that i have been away to saudi on pilgrimage, i have
arrived safely with the will of Allah.
GTG 2009 is for real, i have seen it in my dream, no shaking
about that, and the venue for the GTG is confirmed to in
Kano and not Jigawa or Funtua or anywhere as speculated
by other brothers - my reasons will be explained at a later
time.
the issue of weather attendance will be discouraging should
not be even brought to table as an excuse. because the GTG's
minimum requirement is two (2) members and i am very sure
more than 2 members will attend the GTG.
so, glad tidings for those whose hope has dashed away, be
assured of the GTG and Alhaji Dan-Borno will come along with an
original knife for the rago.
A new date, time and venue will be communicated not later than
72 hours in addition to a new standing committee to effectively
man the GTG.
I greet you all in the name of Allah.

Wa'alaik salam,
I thought you would say more than that, Ranka ya Dade.
LOL,lallai DB ya je ya dawo. Yadda yake magana kamar a fim din nan 'the message'
Allah ya karba.
I honestly think there is no big deal if the event is held or not.
I would have loved it to hold and i am still optimistic that it will hold.
My own lackasaidal attitute arose from the fact that the main kanoonline developers have not shown any interest in the GTG.
Usually the event used to be looked forward to by,at least,Salisu Danyaro and Prof.Abdalla.(Dr. Yusuf Adamu and Ibrahim Ado have long since abandoned the forum completely).
The last GTG was organised with the support of both Prof and Admin. It is only natural for the members to show some restraint concerning organisation of the GTG because the founding fathers do not seem to have interest.
Alhamdulillah,through Kanoonline the frequent members have become family.We can still meet, even if not as kanoonline members and decide to embark on a project that will change or better the community and lives.
The last meeting had some projects that were supposed to have been completed by now but yet nothing has been done regarding them.
Let the meeting not be about seeing each other only but by having acheivable projects that will better the community.
Assalamu Alaikum members and gogannaka,

Assalamu alaikum,
Did we agree leton the following:
1. The date for the GTG is 2nd January 2010 (Saturday) 4.00 -5.30pm
2. venue remains Kano, Aliance or some place?
3. Muda, Muhsin Danmegona to organise snacks and drinks- a replica of last year's.
4. May be we can discuss how to bring back 'life' into KNline once again. Waziri, Nura, GGNK, Bakangizo, Husnaa, etc.
5. What project? Bill boards, Refuse bins, etc. We need guidance from Danyaro, Prof., DBN, etc.
We have only one week before the GTG.... Yes, we can GTG will take place Insha Allah (SWT).
Am sure others will contribute.
The date is OK with me.
Salaam. I have no objection regarding the date, as long as the organisers can do it within the fews days remaining. Sad that the actionables of the last GTG (bill boards, refuse bins etc) have not seen the light of day, and were to be discussed again.
So, muhsin, the ball is in your court. Get to work, pronto!!!

Wai za'a yi wannan GTG kuwa? Ni fa ina jira ne naji ance ga rnar da akesa ran zamu zo. I dan kuma ba za'a yi ba to zan tafi hutu na Yankari ran biyu ga watan Janairu in Allah ya yarda. Dan Barno ya ka gani?
You are kidding right? I mean after discouraging us both times, this is a joke.
I am disappointed in the organisation of this GTG.
Too bad our organisational abilities weren't forthcoming.
I think our organisational ability is excellent. The las GTG is a testimony to that. The problem is our commitment to the issue. I would want to believe that part of the reason most of us may not be so free to active be involved in the organization. It may not be an absolute excuse, but it is a factor. That nothwithstanding, we can do better.
May I suggest we shelve the idea of 2009's GTG, and prepare fully for this year's either middle of the year, or end of the year? Just a suggestion.
Yeah, i also agree for the idea to be shelved.
But what happened to the issue of waste bins discussed during the last GTG.
GGNK, maganar kake so, dust bin? thank God records dont lie.
I doubt if the project of dust bin that involves money and movement
is realisable if we cannot generate a common stand on the issue
of high rate of divorce in hausa land. we agreed to come up with
a write up and we have among us, who undertake to publish it
in a form of phamplet for wider circulation, but the idea was later
kicked (who knows wether we have auri saki within the cabinet).
this is the lack of commitment and zeal we should be talking about.
personally i feel like i missed a very important family gathering,
because har na fara manta fuskan Bakangizo, no wonder i couldnt
recognize him at Makka lol.
you see friends, the reason we are pressing harder on this issue of
getting together is that one day Muhsin or IBB could be the president
of this country and with our agenda at hand we can make nigeria
a great place.

DB,
To my own understanding the issue of divorce wasn't concluded. It was a debate that almost had members raining abuses on each other.
The dust bin issue don't need no debate.Kawai sayo waste bins za'a yi a yi labelling a raba.
Mutuwar aure kuwa sai dai kowa ya fadi ra'ayin shi wanda ba lallai ya zama cewa abun da ke kawo mutuwar aure ba kenan ko kuma solution to high rate of divorce.
I still believe the issue of high cases of divorce is an issue that needs to be discussed on the discussion board. It is a debate that will be continuous because each day and each divorce presents a new case study.

Salam,
Hmm. BKGZ, forget about GTG. Its a pure myth; nothing beyond that.
The whole forum, I begin to realize, is becoming a shame to us Northerners.
I'll soon write a long piece on that, inshaAllah. Watch out!
Take am easy. I don't see any reason to be "ashamed" of this forum. And what's the connection with GTG?
I see you read my other thread on this board, for you even made a reply there. And I am sure you must have got the reason as well as the connection now.
I see your points (DB & goga). On the one hand, drafting and publishing pamphlets on the issue of divorse is appealing. Kuma zai yi amfani kwarai da gaske. It's kinda a social service. Something we all felt we have a duty to as a people, and as a northern-based forum. But like goga said, it is a controversial issue/debate that seemingly has no straight answers to. Nonetheless, we should try and do something on it. Now, DB raised a valid point about the dustbins. It involves financial commitments. So on the surface, it might look harder to accomplish than a simple write-up on divirse, which we failed to do.
So my take is; why don't we postpone all these until we GTG? When we all gather, we can effectively discuss, collect the contributions for the bins there (prior to the GTG, members must have been aware of the total cost, and the expected individual contribututions), and take a final stand on the divorse write-up?

muhsin, I don't see any connection btw failing to hold a GTG, and the pronouncement of this site as "dead". Again, I agree that the forum is not as lively as we would all want it to be, but GTG is not a criteria to qualify a forum as either dead or alive.

I feel like I was compelled to make this reply; like that--the connection, was obvious. Any way here it goes. . .
Our nonchalant and lackadaisical attitudes towards the forum--the place where we all come to know one another--led to the failure of the GTG. Remember how the forum was last year before the GTG (and even after). Moreso, the GTG proceedings have to be discussed here, and not anywhere else, right? And nobody care to come up here. The connections are myriads, I think.
