since you said AbuMujahid was not at the main meet, then he must be the guy on the left in the first picture.

Abdalla · July 27, 2003, 04:33:39 PM

The first guy on the left is Sagir, of Adabin Hausa Society. He is not a true "Kanoonlner" but hijacked for the event that day! He is also the author of the first technical manual on computer programming in HAUSA language.

The IDs of the rest is spot-on. Yup, the prof is the short fat guy -- reminds you of Danny DeVito, huh? (my fav!)

I like that picture,oh! eating in a traditional way is so nice and reminds one of the unity and love that existed in our land b4 we started copying the foreigners,eating in different plates.or sitting on the dining chair fighting with fork and knife.Gaba-gaba dai Hausa onliners[not kanoonliners this time]

Waziri · July 31, 2003, 01:54:55 PM

Thank u Salisu d pictures r really good.

I am laughing at this point. One child beside me, a child of five yrs just pointed at prof. in the last picture and was asking whether he was d one who ate all d food there. I quickly told him that we ate it all but he insisted to know whether Prof. ate most part of it all, he said profs tommy indicates that.... I really am laughing loud, im losing control, louder... louder of course!!!

Abdalla · August 01, 2003, 08:26:19 PM

Waziri

Tell your 5-yo bairn that I DID ate all the food! It was so good!

And no, the food was NOT cooked by the women! It was a take-out from Mr. Biggs, a sorta McDonalds sans the hassles and the attitude and MAD Cow genes!

A good time was  had by all, and more in early August when Fulanicious vists!! Mo' later!

Abdalla

"Bairn"?  That's a Scottish word for a child. Is Abdalla a secret Jock? (slang for a Scotsman)

lol lol the boy really got you prof.

Waziri · August 02, 2003, 01:56:07 PM

Gogannaka,

The boy's sensors are really active.

May be he feels Prof. can make a good sell in the slave market of Zaria...You know, these days slaves cost most when they are heavy so he feels Salisu and Ibraheem Ado are not ripe for SALE yet, but considered Yusuf Adamu and Prof...I am working hard to parsuade him to stop thinking along that direction now.

Gonannaka, I will give him an expert advice of course not the vice, to spare prof. till next year because by then he would grow even fatter.(Laughter)

Abdalla · August 02, 2003, 10:19:51 PM

Yo Dave!

Nah, I a'int no Scottish! Just an admirer of bagpipes, kilts, sporran, haggis and Fish; no, not the eating variety (well, that too!), the former vocalist with Marillion (Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood).

Waziri, as for your young friend, tell him I will make a lousy slave. I am too darned lazy; will probably not last an hour in a plantation. I can cook though (at least I have convinced myself I can cook!) so maybe I will be useful to someone, although I will end up eating most of the haggis, chapti, kobe rice and the lot. I think the kitchen is the best room in any house! And a well-stocked fridge the best accessory! I am not one of those weirdos on health kicks. Ya got only one life, live it up, I says. Fried eggs, salted butter, creamy mayonaise, butter ghee, the lot!  Long live Danny Devito!

I wish I could attent the reception in person. Good luck and congratulations to members of KanoOnline and ANA Kano branch. I have forwarded the invitation to all members of Zumunta egroups.

At this moment the Kano Onliners are together at the British Council - some are meeting each other again, others are meeting for the first time. The overwhelming curiosity in the minds of most would be what would Fulanicious look like? Will she be as delicious as her name sounds? I have this vision of a tall slim elegant slightly light skinned cultured individual. For the rest I cant think. I see each as his/ her name appears to sound, except for the K.Onliners pictured above.

Well Today is a milestone indeed. I take this opportunity to congratulate the winners of the poetry contest and I hope that the meeting will act as a fertilizer to creative minds and let us hope that it cements better understanding and a genuine sense of brother/sisterhood amongst the participants and other onliners who cannot make it to the venue.

Kano Onliners.... a toast to all of us for a better future for us and our beloved fatherland Nigeria
Ameen.
