KANO—THE Coalition of Northern Groups has launched a campaign to end perceived dominance of non-natives in the state workforce, claiming that over 70 percent of jobs in Kano are in the hands of non-natives.
Briefing reporters in Kano yesterday, Kano Coordinator of the groups, Sani Salihu, said: “All the available jobs in all federal parastatals and agencies, including some state-owned agencies, are dominated by non-indigenes at the expense of employable people of Kano.”

Saying the deliberate refusal to adhere to federal character provision would no longer be acceptable, he warned that “it must be reversed.”

Salihu said the “groups would initiate series of actions and campaigns, allowable by the law, to ensure that indigenes of Kano State enjoy, as of right, no less than 70 percent  job opportunities in all private businesses, financial institution and banks locatedin the state.”

He further assured that “we shall liaise with traditional rulers in the state and mobilise the Ulamah and the civil society for a vigorous campaign to achieve this.”

Salihu revealed that the groups would “sponsor a bill for the enforcement of observance of the federal character principles by all private businesses, financial institutions and banks located in the state.

Great. What is good in Anambra and Lagos is great in Kano.

Ambode's new law seems to be waking up the sense of self preservation among us.

They got to wake up

Almost dia

No state like LAGOS!

They should not start killing ooo,cos it is in their blood

Exercise in futility

He don dey employ Ibadan ppl

Nigeria is doomed abeg

Lol


No job anywhere

These people are just looking for a reason to deprive the not more than 1% of the kano state workforce who are non indigenes of their job.

Imagine them claiming more than 70% of their workforce are non indigenes. Bloody liars. In kano, you can't even enter Keke successfully if you are a non indigene and can't speak Hausa not to talk of entering workforce.

You can never force a bank into employment rules. Indigen or non- indigen

Mtcheeew

Who wants to work in Kano before?

We are d one doing our self was dere if dey can deliver. Diz same pple will be the one shouting xenophobic in South Africa or other countries. Pple self wen d indegene are self employed to begging. Shey outsiders go come dem ni.

I hope the campaign will not involve blood

nah there headache nah... make them go employ illiterates as civil servants

No tribe is as accommodating as the Yoruba's

Trying to force that on private businesses will not work!

Ki ni eleyi n so bayi

Osu people dominating

Later they'll be shouting marginalization


Go to any osu 'gomnet' office, the reverse is the case.

You can not even buy a piece of land there in peace. Yet, they are the 'deveropas' of EVERYWHERE

Guess you guy were still alive when Buhari was doing his own.Ndi ara.

I used to think so but now I know better

Nigeria is not a nation


That's just the sad truth


And I know say na mostly igbos be the non indigenes this Kano workforce go they talk about

Because so many igbos follow for Kano workforce


Igbos we seriously need to think home.. see as we just dey add to the development of Lagos, Kano etc and when time reach or maybe oil lose value now them go hand remind us say na their land we dey

Lagos no be no mans land
Kano no be no man's land

I pity igbos wey never learn. them go stupidly they shout Lagos is no man's land; if anything were to happen in future and Lagos get matter na that time una go know say Yoruba get Lagos; by the time their skull miners migrate from ile if, Ogun, oshun and all other South West na that time una go know wassup
This new bill by ambidextrous should let u know that Lagos belongs to Yoruba and due to their insecurities they want to run operation dominate Lagos and turn it from a cosmopolitan to a skull mining enclave

At this rate you should know that
Nigeria is not one

Invest in South East were your life and properties will be secured forever no matter what happens in future

This is Africa and Africans are savage and unstable ; god forbid if anything happens tomorrow; igbos will bear the brunt the more because we are the only true one Nigerians

A Hausa won't even have mind to invest in the east, same thing applies to Yoruba man they won't have the guts either but my people have investments scattered all over the North and West

Ndigbo we need to start thinking eastward
Start reducing ur investments elsewhere and try to invest in the east instead

East is big for all us
There is land everywhere waiting to be developed
Enugu alone is big enough to accommodate times 3 of Lagos population

Ndigbo wake up from your slumber

Kano belongs to the hausa
Lagos belongs to Yoruba and not everybody

Who wants to work in Kano before?

Tens of thousands. They are even xlaiming kano indigene

I hope Lagos will quickly add this too to the other bill to start with.

If Abia and Kano can do it, Lagos too can and then the rest of SW. It's actually a good thing, we all should be in control of our jobs.

All Yoruba leaving Kano have more than enough jobs at the custom alone, not to talk of the immigration.

This is a great opportunity and Yoruba leaders must jump at it with both hands.

Xenophobia in Nigeria.

If na south Africa na you people will be complaining now its happening inside Nigerian.

Divide this country una no gree

Lol. People are establishing ideas in your state, you are saying rubbish. What stop you from working eh. Abi land Don finish

Lazy people. If those people leave Kano, na una go suffer

I used to think so but now I know better

Thats who we are the most accomodating men & women in the world but don't mess with us.. we are like snakes when you step on our tail we bite you hard without notice

Yorubas started this tribalism in lagos now see what is happening

Lol

Another terrorist group breadthing their way out.just watch...very soon you'll hear non indigence most go with axe, guns and matchet.
