Northern Nigeria is not what you THINK it is | Travel Kano

- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- In today's episode, I traveled up northern Nigeria to see if what I hear on the news is the actual reality. Kano is known to be the capital of northern Nigeria and home to 20 mIllion People, the second largest city in Nigeria after Lagos, But stands out with its very rich heritage and history.
Kano is also home to some of the richest men in Africa, Topping the list is Dangote now worth, $20 billion, Abdulsamad worth $6.6B. But the reality remains that most people in the north live in abject poverty, and have not been exposed to modern-day technology.
Enjoy!

Love this video. But at the same time, I am saddened by the poverty and lack of development in some parts of Kano. Also in a way whilst I respect culture and religion but sometimes holding on too tightly to them can be a detriment. I am not against polygamy but I think it is wrong for any man to take on more than one wife and have numerous children unless they can afford to provide a very decent life for them all. It makes no sense to have 7 wives and 20 children if as a man you can afford to support them. And is it worth the money that Dambe is bringing in if at the end of the day those fighters are unable to enjoy it because they are handicapped or dead?
In spite of that, I still love to see our African people working hard trying to make a decent living even with very little help from some of our leaders.
Great video bro.
You are very right sir and that is what the Quran teaches marry one wife and if u are capable and want to do it then, marry more than one wives but most northern men marry 3 to 4 wives and can not take care of them and there kids which is a very big sin...what brought about 4 wives started in earlier times when men use to go for wars and most men died so there were less men than women so it was allowed to marry women most especially the widows, the divorcee and the older ones but this days all some men do is go about and marry women 20 years younger than their first wife am not saying its wrong but if u are not capable please don't do it and suffer innocent children and women
Islamicly you are correct, yes marry one wife if you can't do justice to multiple wife and not having money to take care of them is definitely doing injustice to them.
@@rahinatibrahim6207 Exactly
Thnx for visiting my state, but you only show the negative site of kano, u miss the positive. why did'nt you visit Academic sector(BUK, MARYAM ABACHA UNI, SKYLINE UNI)etc. to see the best awarded projects & also information tecnology & innovative private enterpreurs , also infrasturucture & Real estate development which has a volume of #trillions naira in kano. Why did'nt visit the tourism sector to explore & the sharada (industial hub). Like ghanian wade maya did. Also the movie industry (kannywood) My freind u need to go back, kano is large to expore
@@umaribrahim6533 you are right he should have shown both sides
People are always criticizing North's illiteracy. One must makes it clear what illiteracy he is referring to. Western education illiteracy or illiteracy in it's entirety? Vast majority of the northerners can read and write in Arabic language. It's literacy! Isn't it? Nobody is arguing that North is left far behind concerning Western education status but if literacy means 'ability to read or write', then northerners are literate. The number of people that can memorize The holy Qur'an offhand are in millions.
And too much religion and unwillingness plus the hatred for western education makes them very (not all though) dangerous to mingle with.
And what has reciting Qur'an brought to your table? You are illiterate period
I am a northerner and muslim, but let's not lie to ourselves, most northerners truly are illiterate, both in terms of western and even Islamic education. Sure, majority of us can read the Quran in arabic, but how many of us actually know the meaning of what we're reading? Literacy entails being able to understand what you read, write, and apply it meaningfully.
Nor mind dem they just come in front of camera dey spilled rubbish
@@kingxmena that is your kind of thinking, unlike you I have came across so many comments from allover the world identifying Hausa people as the most generous in Nigeria infact even the colonial master said it, but the problem is envy lack knowledge and self centered of the people saying that as a result of brain washed,I wonder how one will describe what he has no knowledge of. I happen to understand that some people take education and civilization as tribe, religion, culture or race,if you do not belong to them,then you are not and that is that even if someone know about Nigeria history the colonials rules north by indirect rule and the reason is because of their education and civilization as at that time they the only ones that have a form writing and reading which is the reason why the colonials employ them as their secretaries in their various colony across Africa.
I did my National Youth Service in Kano, that one year really changed my perspective about the North. I was also opportuned to travel to other neighboring cities like Zaria and Maiduguri during that time.
This video really took me back to those days😍
Northerners are not as bad as we think they are, they are actually really peaceful and hospitable.
God bless them!
Human always have misconception of our fellow human beings. My dad always told me to have a open mind and treat everyone as individual
Most of them are peaceful but there is a lot of ignorance about how modern world works.
@@patrickayooladokun which is beautiful in way too
Fulanis are thé problem not the north nor the Hausas
@@patrickayooladokun are not ignorance in the south? Stop share biased and misleading the good thing in the north
Its is nice to see Africa through Africans not the western media which portrays it as a dump and unsafe love from SA
I agree
I was told that Kano wasn’t safe.
It would also be nice to see Africans not treat Africa like its one country. Reducing and incredibly diverse continent into simple “Africa” is part of the problem. As if there is only one narrative.
Why do you always blame the West for everything. These Northern Nigeria is unsafe for Christians and foreigners. That's where 4 terrorist groups was founded.
Agreed.
I was born, raised and currently living in Kano with my wife and son. I am Hausa and medical practitioner and I am proud of every single part of this video, thousands of NYSC members from the south are willing to stay here after they finish their services because they find it very interesting unlike what they have been hearing before they came. This is us.
Thank you very much Steven for telling some real part of our story but there's more to cover like Sallah festivals, Emir palace, foods and many more. We love and appreciate you.
God forbid your people kills NYSC members from the south
Worst kano
Hello Sir, I trying to move to Kano, My wish is to married Fulani Hausa Woman, am also Finically stable more especially I am a African Muslim who lives aboard..
The same situation in kaduna. People come, like the calm and decide to stay.
@@ernestgbarbea1878 you're highly welcome bro
I grew up in Brazil, my grandfather was African Brazilian, and I always saw Africans as my close cousins. I now live in the United States, and even though people know Africa is rapidly developing, there is still a lot of ignorance about the reality of the continent. I love your videos, and hope I can visit Nigeria and other places in West Africa sometime in the future.
🤝
I hope you can, it'll change you profoundly, you may not want to return to the US.
Hit me up when you're visiting... Let me be ur tour guide 👍🏾
Africa welcome u always
Thank you cousin Jaime for sharing so generously. A trip to the cradle-land will definitely be worth it all.
Meanwhile, where in this vast US are you domiciled? I'm here in the Bay Area.
I am igbo and I love kano for his historic background
Mother in law meaning in Igbo
Hello from Denmark. I find it very interesting to see this well made video, Steven. Thanks to your camera man as well. And about Kano, I know its just a part of Kano, but is interesting anyway. I would be happy one day to visit
Pls if you're visiting kano contact me and i will be your tour for free. As i noticed alot of documentary about kano lacks so many things and with me as tour guide it will be more comprehensive and detailing then any.
No matter what you portray, Norther Nigeria is still what it is and not whst anybody thinks
The first man featured is Isah Bello Ja. One of kannywoods finest veteran actors. Good to see that he has aged so well☺️❤️
Correction; 1. Kaduna is the Capital of Nothern Nigeria. Kano is the commercial center of the North.
2. Up North: We aren’t Poor or Illiterates. Before the advent of western civilization in Africa, Northern Nigeria had their working ruling and educational system (Arabic and Islamic knowledge). Farming and trade had been in existence in Nothern Nigeria since Pre-colonial era. I’ll urge you to conduct more research Up North, there are a lot of things you don’t know.
There's poverty everywhere in Nigeria; there's a reason Nigeria was confirmed the world's poverty capital some years back.
Poverty is even worse in the north where beggars surprisingly form unions! I remember these beggars threatening to oust the Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, at some point. Today, the South is welcoming a truckload of beggars from Northern Nigeria. These are facts that nobody can hide.
The problem of Nigeria is that we are comfortable living in denial and we have accepted anomalies as norms. Those who question why the status quo remains unchanged are called haters or enemies of the state.
This doesn't in any way suggest that Nigeria's north has no positives, but we proudly carry the poverty badge, and we don't even elect the right leaders to help us change the lachrymal narrative.
We have a region called Kano, in Kisumu, Kenya. Again, in dholuo ( languge spoken by inhabitants of this region), dala means home.
We are all brothers and sisters in Africa, even though many refuse to recognise it.
@@oceejekwam6829 Actually we are not.
We have so much in common. I'm from kano. Daĺa could meant home in the language of the ancient ppl of kano. That was their home, their shelter and where they resided.
@@oceejekwam6829 you are quite right brother
Then we have some connections, though we brothers.
Kano is really a lovely place... I got stuck there during the covid lockdown and I grew to love the city... Can't wait to visit again this December.
I was born and bred in Kano, I my family migrated to tge South in 2012 when Boko harambee insurgency became so bad. I've always tried to convince people in the South that the North is not exactly what they think it is.. there is more beauty even amist all these Crises.. thank God for people like you that is helping the Southerns see that beautiful part.
Why did you migrate to the South then if there's more beauty in the North? Let's not sugar coat the realities in the North, things are spiraling out of control in the entire Country but especially in the North. Go to Southern Cities and see the number of Northern youth trooping in everyday looking for something to do because of the insecurity in Northern Villages, towns and Communities.
@@kyrianuwandu1162 Go to sabongari in kano you will see many southern, people's like you are the problem we have in Nigeria.
@@kyrianuwandu1162, there are millions of Southerners in the North so what are you saying? If it was that bad all the Southerners would’ve moved back home which is not the case…
@@kyrianuwandu1162 see who is talking when your people are in millions there...
you supposed go back to north na if it's not what people think it is 🤡
Wode Maya also did an interview in the North of Nigeria. It was good, he featured a female entrepreneur (farmer).
Honestly, you deserve an award for this video. You really did justice to it, Steve.
Thank you Dave
I'm a Corp Member Serving in Kano. Kano is really peaceful, cost of living too is cheap.
I know right
I have always been so intrigued by Northern Nigeria. if they could make Education their priority the NOrth will be the greatest region in Nigeria
YES my thought. But that might only happen in 200 years time when they stop fighting for God. Too much religion and hatred for western education is their problem.
I was born and brought up in Sabon-Gari, Kano State. It is always a place I call home.
Lovely but I just want to correct the opening statement that Kano is the capital of the North. It is the commercial capital of the North while Kaduna has always been the North's political capital before Abuja.
Please don't give Abuja to the core northerners, it belongs to us the Middle Belt people and it is our future political capital should anything happens to Nigeria unity.
Thanks
@@josephabah5707 insightful.
You are so correct.
@@josephabah5707 wic u the middle belt ??? We from north central are also proud northerners fool
@@josephabah5707o middle belt is out of north zone?....lol😂
The media is not lying, Northerners are probably the sweetest people in Nigeria, but you cant deny the banditry, the kidnapping and religious crises especially if you are not an indigene, so although it has rich history and heritage, it isn't all white roses as you are depicting and this is coming from someone who has travelled to a lot of places in Nigeria.
The Igbo owned media is a LIAR and MANIPULATOR. Must be abolished
7:36 four wives, yet has a big smile, says a lot. Impressive he can juggle all 4. Woa that is a lot of kids.
Steve... Do I have to be on my knees to get you to visit my State, Bauchi? You know Bauchi is unarguably Nigerias pearl of tourism. The Yankari & Sumo Games Reserves are the icing on the cake. Not to talk of the Tafawa Balewa Mousoleum, Nbula Hills in Dass, ancient Shira Rock paintings etc. Can't wait to have u in Bauchi.
Thanks for your reviews nevertheless, my daily UA-cam is never complete without a dose of Steve Nduka. Keep projecting our beautiful country
WOW great. He will one Day God bless you sir
I think this guy already did a video on Bauchi and Yankari Games Reserves. Perhaps you should check his other videos and you will find it.
Thank u fo making thz amazing documentary . . . Greetings from Zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼
Bravo! You're doing a great job educating Nigerians and the world. I will also love if you visit Kaduna state.
Thanks for watching
Me too I will also like this channel to visit Kaduna
Really like you to visit the golden city (Kaduna)
Kaduna is the capital of the north not Kano.i really enjoy your story telling
Kano is the most historic city in the North
@@ayan22_ I'm from the north sir,is Kano more historic than Sokoto? or Zaria? I doubt that maybe older but not historic and I live in mission road in Kano Sir
I served in Gabasawa LGA, Kano State as a corp member and I must say, I enjoyed everyday spent there. The people are friendly and very accomodating.❤
Is Kano more developed than Kaduna... I doubt just that kano gets more attention and its commerce as well.
Kano is like the lagos of south.
Visit and judge for yourself.
Kaduna is far developed and beautiful than Kano
Am a Ghanaian but was born in Kano at gaskiya clinic
Hello I'm a Nigerian girl from kano state based in abuja believe me when I tell you I love my home town....so beautiful different varieties of foods, if you're a foodie then trust me north is for you cuz if you go to kano...say no more 😂all the small chops the culture,the music, the people, the peace love hospitality from our people I'm so proud even though there is the rich side and the poor side( and that is the government's fault) but aside that come to north and you'll never regret 🥰🇳🇬
Amazing work man
Op did not show the other rich side and commerce side of Kano.He only showed the slum side of Kano.Its like in making a documentary of Lagos,you showed only Agege,mushin and leaving out VI and Banana island.
I love your videos
You are just excellent!
Nice one 👍
Great video again. This is very enlightening
Video quality 💯
This is nice!
I simply love this video. You're great Steve. I love this concept
This is a masterpiece good work bro
Can't wait for the next Video!!!
Great Job Steven!
Inspirational. Informative. Beautiful
Thank God you're beginning to get enlightened geographically.Before all these kidnapping/banditory stuff, the North is one of the best place to be,live and work,even school,talk of hospitality and other advantages...As someone who was born and bred in kaduna state,I couldn't be more grateful. I grew up in a highly diverse neighborhood/ environment were at an early age I got to learn about different tribes and cultures. As such I can tell d different tribes from their native conversations or names.wouldnt trade that experience for anything.plus kaduna was like the peak of the whole North way back then, the exposure is on another level...
Yes Gladys I like ppl like you.
Nice video man... keep up the good work 👏
Keep up the good work Steven 👍
We need more of these videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video! Keep it up
Northern Nigeria is an Economic threat to Nigeria... Despite their rich culture, , the sad reality is that it kept Nigeria backward.
How???
@@ireminder sad but true ..not the people ‘the leaders’
@@ireminder By marrying 4 wives and having 30 children there by giving birth to Almajiri, bandits and Boko Haram. North is a burden, a security threat and a thorn in the flesh to peace and progress of Nigeria.
@@okosundavid9386 all the currupt leaders in south are saints abi???

Brief and fairly unbiased presentation, thanks.
Love the video! Been to Kano myself, did my NYSC camping there. I really wish I could go back and explore properly.
I stay in kano!!!. Well-done Steve
Thank you for making this video in our city. 99% love this video😊🙏
Great job 👏🏾……for many southerners/westerners of Nigeria, this is very informative, being able to see parts of the north & the culture.
One aspect that alot of people who portrait either Kano or the north is that they don't consider the factors that always lead to the predicament s. Alot of people from all over Nigeria or even other African countries troops to Kano for greener posture and as the result of over population is bound to look as you see kano like this,more the level of poverty and illiteracy wasn't the way people put it, some people only think that western education is the only source of education but Kano people with the Islamic education reach the highest level of civilization even before the colonial masters, which the Kano people are proud of,till these days.
The music is very moving. So much depth.
I was born and grew up in kano. I love this video because it changes how you see (kano state) northern part. Love to watch this 😊
Hi Steve. I always look forward to your uploads, they're a breathe of fresh air as they are like no other. This too - who would've thought!
I saw a picture of Port Alfred in SA and it didn't do it justice. Ever thought of taking a trip there? Looking forward to it ☺☺
Very interesting content greetings from Cameroon 🇨🇲
I did my NYSC in Kano state. I enjoyed my stay there.
Haha noticed your Kenyan bracelet💯💯
If they could ship this stuff and sell it online....that would be cool. Love the patterns.
That FIGHT. it's just so UNECESSARY AND FOOLISH, Honeslty, Logically, and Realistically.
Great job steve, but you Should have shown other parts of kano too, the city of kano
What a great video as always Steven! Hope you will get a chance to go to the ancient city of Kano to show us those magnificent historic adobe/mud buildings!
Lovely to see gentle man Ibrahim.
Yes. Its exactly what I think!
Nice video. Though you just showed a quick summary, Kano is and has alot more to show.
Interesting to know
Great job you have tried I will wishing to visit kebbi state
Kano looks beautiful

You produce on productive ......youths down there in the north
I did my NYSC in the North more than 20 years ago, and it was so interesting until Gboko Haram said it’s no more a safe haven.
Yes Steven 👏 there's more to life than Lagos
Can we have part two please??
Kano city is beautiful. This kind of fight nawao.
I am a kano indigene thank you,thank you,thank you for putting up this.I wish we can be open minded about other people.thank you
