Assalamu alaikum;

I just want to share with you some what a recent (September 2002) visitor (Tourist) about our beloved Kano said...


Kano Nigeria
One of the nicest towns in Nigeria. Very far away from Lagos,thank God,Very friendly people. As a caucason I felt right at home in Kano. Even when visiting the Old City I had no problems. Kano has so much to offer whith no hassels. I cannot understand why anybody would go anywhere but Kano in Nigeria. Kano probably has the best Accomidations and dining in Nigeria.

The Prince Hotel which Is better than most in the United States,in my opinion, as far as service,cleanliness and Fantastic food. Those people will do anything to makje your stay enjoyable
I have also included a picture of one of the entances to the Old City (I think 1500BC) and a picture of the original clothing dye pits that is still operating as it has for thousands of years.
The shopping bargins,if you look hard, are tremendous,form clothing,gold,diamonds,jewelry its all in the old city.
Kano is so different than Abuja or Lagos. The Prince has a Beautifull pool and food -totally relaxed. The Sahara is only a few miles away-Unbelievable!!!

I have always believed kano has the potential of being one of the best tourist destinations not just in nigeria or africa but in the world. But we must get our prioritise straight! we must understand we are a multi cultural multi religious society with a very rich history second to non.  If we start from this premise you can be sure that kno will not need oil money to be one of the most properous states in nigeria.

Kano ta dabo ci gari,
gari ba Kano ba dajin Allah.

it is just like what one of our scholars in Kano -Malam Ibrahim Khalil said about Kano "ummud dunniyya"

it is a pride to be a bakane
