OPINION: GANDOLLAR AND THE INFECTED 50 CHILDREN FROM KANO.

"Everyone is asked to stay home but they forget that not everybody has a home or roof over their heads".... Frederick Odorige.

"The bad news now is that, among the children deported from Kano to Kaduna state, FIFTY of them have tested positive to COVID-19!

"I watched when they were being sardined and transported in buses in  circulation of the deadly virus. They gave them funny masks made by local tailors who stitched elastic with needle and thread into local fabrics".



WHEN COVID-19 broke out in Nigeria, I posted here that the government must quickly build shelters for street children/almajiris and homeless adults.

Everyone is asked to stay home but they forget that not everybody has a home or roof over their heads.

Whenever I post sensitive issues on my timeline, I summarize them, post it on twitter and tag the person concerned for necessary action.

In that post, I tagged Ganduje the governor of Kano state and the Presidency. Like some northern states, Kano state government decided to dodge her responsibilities and began to deport street children to neighbouring states in the name of 'states of origin' just like the United States and the United Kingdom dumped freed slaves in Freetown in the 18th century.

In this modern world, I have not seen where children are deported within a country because a virus broke out. Instead of taking care of the people, they rejected and humiliated them after using them as under-aged voters and suicide bombers. Most of the children could not trace their families. Most of them were not really from the states to which they were deported. It was mere shuffling and reshuffling across northern states.

The bad news now is that, among the children deported from Kano to Kaduna state, FIFTY of them have tested positive to COVID-19!

I wish I could express my annoyance in words!

Our politicians are not only greedy, they are extremely wicked. 50 children...still counting!

I watched when they were being sardined and transported in buses in  circulation of the deadly virus. They gave them funny masks made by local tailors who stitched elastic with needle and thread into local fabrics.

Well, I will release some videos in Hausa language very soon. I will tell the people that for anyone that is killed by the virus in Kano state, they should hold their Governor Ganduje (a.k.a Gandollar) responsible.

He loves money more than human beings. When the virus was initially detected in Kano state, instead of taking serious precautionary measures, he took the vehicle of the State Fire Service, loaded it with water, pasted a huge banner of a company on it and started spraying clean water on the street. He was giving the impression that the company was disinfecting the streets against covid-19. Oh! men that dine with satan by day and by night!

Now that Gandollar has probably pocketed millions of naira from his devilish disinfection contract, his people are dying quickly while he is keeping his children safely. Now he continues to seek more government support. Here comes the business of money over death!

Gandollar dethroned Lamido Sanusi for boldly challenging northern leaders to build hospitals, schools and to provide welfare for their people.  The people of Kano were cajoled into silence when Sanusi as dethroned. I knew long time ago that whenever you are fighting for your people, you run the risk of being neglected and challenged by them whenever you get into a difficult situation. Moses thought that he was fighting for his people until one of his own asked him 'do you want to kill me the way you killed the Egyptian?". That was the singular question that sent Moses into exile far away from the luxuries of the beautiful palace. It took heavenly intervention through the power behind the burning bush, before Moses was divinely invited to lead the same people through iron gates and the Red Sea.

One of the Emirs this Gandollar enthroned to despise Sanusi recently died from coronavirus. When his corpse journeyed to the burial site, we saw people jostling to touch it.

Somebody might have lied to them that touching a dead king brings good luck. That was the same way they deceived them that when you die or kill for your religious beliefs, you shall be entitled to 12 virgins in heaven-hell. That is what illiteracy can do. To them social distancing is tales from moonlight! Now graves of Kano people dot their geographical landscape like mounds of planted yams in rainy season. The land is in mourning. There is somebody who knows somebody that died yesterday. Now tomorrow is no longer a promise in Kano. This is happening because a man desperately wanted to be governor; attracted by the odoferous lures of vanity in office.
Gandollar  claims to have a Ph.d in Public Administration but he is way behind in administration.

Just as Nigerians are now paying dearly for decades of long silence to bad governance, Kano indigenes are now paying for keeping silent when Gandollar was caught on camera collecting bribe in dollars. Their money! MBuhari said that he is still investigating the video till today. Those in office believe that we are as stupid as they wish us to be.

Kano indigenes are now paying dearly with their lives for not asking questions when Gandollar sprayed water on their dusty streets under the guise of fighting the deadly virus.

Clearly, his action is attempt to murder. He must have collected and written against the finance of the state, how many millions he spent on that 'project' of water spraying.

If you must support the people of Kano state in these difficult times, please do not send money to the state governor; send material items.

Hold Gandollar responsible for all the deaths in Kano and beyond. That man is currently one of the worst governor in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. APC reportedly rigged and did everything unlawful to forcefully put him into office. Is this the best APC could produce?
Here we are!
