First is the mention by IBB that he had his junior secondary education at Magwan aroubd 87-90.

I'm not here to bash you for your love of the inferioty complex phenomenon,just wanted to tell you that you got your facts wrong brother, Magwan is a primary school and does not have a secondary section, IBB did not say so either.

Think Oga IBB has had already corrected this, Muda. Sai dai if you are looking for trouble. ;D ;D

I last saw kano in the mid eighties and it was a beautuful place and i have great memories of this beautiful city as i spent my child hood here and lived in from 79 to 85 and studied in Magwan Primary School and later in Kano Capital School till form 2 and later left the country because my father left job there ,can any body tell me are these schools Magwan and Kano Capital School still there and i lived near the Rimi Market in the city and there was a big hospital near my house named as Murtala Muhammad hospital,are these places still there and how is the life now I had many friends at that time but i have no contact with them now ,one i can remember was Hussaini Sani whose father had biscuits and macaroni factories and he was close friend of mine and used to visit me some times at my house and i remember the   wonderful people kano had,i have visited world over now to many places but the love and hospitality which i saw in kano i can not forget and great congregations of people in eid and juma prayers and amir of kano travelling in the streets and also i visited outside places and villages around kano and factories around kano and i remember unity stores and chellarams which were big departmental stores and how lovely and peaceful it was to be in kano,now adays i read that kano has got too dangerous a place to visit ,can any one tell me about anything which i mentioned and i will write more as i remember

OMGGGGG.Sweet nostagia.I attended Kano Capital Sch,as a matter of fact,so did all my siblings.I remember all those places you cited,and I also happen to know Sani Marshall family,albeit on a superficial level.I feel like I'm being teleported back in time reading your post.Kano isn't the same,of course,anymore.So much had changed,but so much more is still the same,as with all great places.I'll leave it at that.

My sister in law taught at Kano Capitol School and my two kids went to it before they went to boarding schools in Scotland. Actually Kano played a large part in my family's history as my son married a Nigerian girl in Kano, my granddaughter was born in Kano, my younger brother (now in Ethiopia) ran a factory in Bompai for about ten years and my sister married in Kano and lived there for several years.

LOL Dave, suspect she's the only granddaughter you have, huh? You've been saying lots of her.

[Dave_McEwan_Hill]

Yes, she is my only grand-daughter which is a pity but as my son and his wife fell out some years ago that's not likely to change. Unfortunately my daughter died in Kano at the age of 16 years and is buried in Kano.
