Maimuna Allah Ya Raya Hospital

Anonymous · February 01, 2003, 12:37:10 AM

My grandparents owned a club during the late 1970s to early 1980s. I think it was called the "Flying Club". They were called David and Avril Hill. Their son David Andrew Hill met my mother Lynda and married her in Nigeria. I was born in Kano in 1984 in the Maimuna Allah Ya Raya Hospital. I do not remember any thing about Nigeria as we moved when I was 6 months old. If anybody could give me any ifo on any of the above it I would be most grateful.

Hey, was just wanting to know if the hospital actually exists, also St Louis Church. Really annoys me my family dont say nothing about it. Is Nigeria as bad as everyone says? Think I would rather be there than in freezing cold Scotland!! Do a lot of people speak Hausa there? I can understand and translate it but cant really speak it! Im 18 n i know **** all about where I was born! ?>:(

Layla, I know Maimuna Allah ya raya, Flying Club and St. Louis church in Kano. It will be difficult to tell you everything about Nigeria or Kano but as to the Hospital you were born is located on New Road, Sabon Gari, Kano, I used to attend the hospital up to 1991 and St. Louis Church is near the secondary School in Bompai. It is a lovely town, Kano you can read about it on this site and ask the administrator iof this site for more information. I wish may be you visit one day and make sure is around the Muslim Eid Festival so as to witness the "Sallah Durbar" a very colorfull celebration that's unique to Kano. Fellow Citizen Nigeria is a beautiful country, just check it out yourself.

The name of the proprietor of Maimuna Allah Ya Raya is Ali Abdallah. I believe he died a few years ago, or maybe it was his wife I cannot remember. The hospital was very good during its heyday.

He died, eya? He used to have a mercedes convertible and very liberal. He's Hajiya Naja'atu Mohammed's dad.

Ummul
you were right the proprietor is Alh. Ali Abdullah and he name the hospital after his mother "Maimuna".

Ummulhuda · February 17, 2003, 12:28:23 PM

Well I am sure one of them's dead either he or his wife. I have forgotten who between the two of them. But I think it is him and it was a few years ago. But you could be right, he might still be alive, although you don't sound so sure yourself.

Better stop talking about ppl's parents like this. It's not proper or nice.

8)Hi
Layla's grandad here. Hope Layla makes it to Kano sometime (after she competes her studies,that is). Hope I get back sometime also. Used to be teacher then Vice Principal at WTC, Kano then inspector at KERC near Gwale before running the Flying Club. Ran the Rugby Club and the Kano Racecourse as well. Must have had a lot of energy in those days.
I'd like to hear how some of my old friends or ex-pupils are getting on. Anybody there?

Wow
Its nice to here someone born in Maimuna Allah ya raya hospital. I was born there also but due to time my bro/sis are trasing me because of this. I knew that it used to be good ;D ;D and hey I like that name cos My sister, mother, great grandmother and niece are all Maimunas. ;)

Kano is a nice place but to enjoy it you really need someone who knows the place and the ways about if not you won't like it. All I can say is don't forget to go to See Sweet. Lol
