Only in Kano
Safana May 2024
Only in Kano you will find a reader who lacks knowledge. They will read all social networking sites without understanding them. They will read all types of writing, but in an unusual way. They do not understand, and they will never let themselves to. That's Kano, where a villager guides a city person. This is Kano, where ignorance trumps knowledge. In Kano, the darkness leads the light. In Kano, this is where the quiet brouhaha and clamour die down. In Kano, here is where evil triumphs over good. Barau Kallon Shege has never lived anywhere other than Kano. It is regarded as the place where Mai Tatsine created his Tatsine. Kano is where Shegantaka is bathed. Kano people believe that anything impossible will be broken. Only in Kano  you can find Dutsen Dala and Goron Dutse. Only Aminu Dantata lives in Kano. Aliko Dangote was born in Kano. Only in Kano was Abdussamadu Rabiu (BUA) born. Also in Kano, Malam Gabagadi was raised. And only in Kano was Emir Ado Bayero, the father of Kano's Emir Aminu Ado Bayero and the father of Bichi's Emir Nasiru Ado Bayero, born.
Story: no ones alone
Genre:historical fiction

Its 1862 and the Civil War is still going on, Johnny Colam was at his house watching his mother and his small brother and sisters since his father was in the war. Later that day up the drive they saw military men and they knew that they contained the letter saying that his father had died by friendly fire. His mother was especially sad but Johnny was very surprised that his father ,since he was such a good soldier, had died. The next week A general came to thier house and told his mother that Johnny was to be sent to war to replace his father. His mother ,trying to beg and beg to keep Johnny at home, had failed. Johnny had to go to war that day. He went day and night for five weeks and thought he was not going to survive."I need water I need food" he tried to say they had a limit of food and water since it they needed a lot to survive the war. It was very cold and many soldiers have fallen but been replaced by new recruits.

On the way Johnny and another soldier were sent to hide behind trees near where one of the enemy soldiers were going. But to their surprise the soldier turned and motioned more soldiers to come with. As they watched the soldiers they lost sight of them. "Where did they go" Johnny whispered. His partners response was just 1 shrug of his shoulders. All of a sudden Johnny and the other soldier were GRABBED. They were taken to the enemy's chamber and locked up. Johnny and his partner were thrown into the chamber. "I should of known this would happen" The other soldier said. "Luckily I snuck in and pretended to be my brother.
                
            "What do you mean"
              
             "Wait your a girl" Johnny was very surprised. "My name is Shana" the girl said. All of a sudden cling clang click screech they looked and saw a girl and boy at the cell door and they said "come with me and Kano"
Johnny and Shana nodded and followed. "My name is filiona" she said as they followed then they stopped. GUARDS EVERYWHERE! They were surrounded slowly they all rose up there hands but filiona did not. Instead of surrendering she just stood there. Finally when the guards came closer by 2 steps filiona kicked and punched and did the hardest move out of all the fighting moves,the thunder swirl, and she did it perfectly.

They watched as she kicked and punched and blocked the guards weapons. "Ok let's move". The three just stared with wide open eyes.
"Well are you coming". All three blinked twice and followed once again.
                
    "How did she do that" thought Johnny. He felt like he knew filiona from somewhere and at that moment he had a vision. A girl with black hair and tan skin was walking on a skinny pipe and fell off and must of drowned but the body was not discovered."It couldn't be it just couldn't" he said quietly to himself.

   The place they were taken to was a old cabin with many hand made weapons. They each chose one. Kano chose the staff, Filiona chose the chain and Shana chose the knife. "I i can't use a weapon I can shoot though." Th others just glared at Johnny and gave him a metal polet  

"Hey hey hey" Johnny jumped up from the sudden noise. "EN GARDE"Johnny yelled as his hand flew across the room like a clumsy sword.
           "OW" THUMP "SHANA!"

"Huh"  Jhonney finally  opens his eyes and saw a hard pole in his hand then looking down saw Shana with blood out her nose and mouth uncauncious lying on the floor.

While the whole group surrounds her Jhonney just standing like a brick wall. Finally shana wakes and then after making her go to sleep Jhonney tries to run but Kano is to fast for him. Kano then tackles him while the group follows. The group then beats him up and leaves him there luckily for him emergency helpers get him and Shana and take them for 15 years. When they finally awoke the were sent to a foster home, for all of there families had died. Kano,Filiona,Shana,and Jhonney were all sent to the foster home. While they were in high school Kano and Shana were populer also was to. They saw Jhonney scream at Shana for leaving him out so,as most would do, they tricked him to meeting them after school. When Jhonney came he saw the football player and just walked past them. The group then yelled and teased him so he ran.


The group had promising futures. Filiona was a AWSOME fighting trainer, Kano was a football player, Shana became a famous motivational speaker, And Jhonney, well he had many jobs. One was a part time  test dummy for the rich people since there government was a confederate,oligarchic  government the rich people tested the medicines on him but mostly Jhonney is a underwater and land explorer.

Jama'ar birni ku fito...
Makasau Dan Bakan Dabo Ya fito.

Makasau Sarkin Kano Ya fito
Dan Bakan Dabo, Sarki ya fito
Aminu Ado, sai da kayi ya fito
Saki a kano mai tumbe ya fito

Jikan Dabo me ado dan bakan Dabo
Makasau sarkin kano mai adon Dabo
Me kyautar nera da anini da da kwabo
A tarihi nasa an duba kaf babu tabo
Ya mike ya tafi al'uma suna ta Odabo

Tgwayen sarkin Bichi da kano
Fata nasa kowa ya ci a kwano
Talawansa su mori dandano
Na mulki nasa a ***** da Kano
Tare da **** a kyakkyawan kwano

Jikan Bayero sam baka da raini
A cikin dami da sanyi ko ko a rani
Jama'a na kaunar ka fanni fanni
Saboda kautar nera da anini
Da jin kai ga talakawan ka a birni

Kirkin ka ya zagawa birni da kauye
Ta ko ina alherin ka ya mamaye
Gwani, Idan kayi alheri baka waiwaye
Saboda a cikin alheri kake a zagaye
Hm! makiyan ka kullum za su karairaye

Mai hakuri dan mai hakuri, Makasau
Ka jure hawan Sallah har zuwa fanisau
Akan ingarman dikin ka kamar kosau
Wanda babu irin sa ko an je misau

Muhammadu Aminu dan Ado Bayero
Garnakaki namiji a kyuatar ka ba zero
Tsabar ilimin ka turawan sun baka biro
Cacnselo a calaba ka wuce a ce Pro
Sharrin makiyan k ba ya zuwa ko sun huro

In ka fito, kwalliyar ka kowa sai ya kalla
ana rububin alaka da kai sai an kulla
Amma su wancanan ka sai anyi talla
Kai! a kano kai kadai ne sarki zalla

Kai ka yi kama da Bakan Dabo Ado
Mai martaba marigayi sarkin ado
Tabbas wannan haka yake kayo gado
Tun da ka dare karagar mulkin ka na gado
hakika makiyan ka ko sun bi sai sun gudo

Ina me ja ya zo ga me tsinkawa
Wani ya taba ja mun kai **** takalmawa

Makasau ginshiki ne ga kano da kanawa

Makasau Uba ne ga kano ba sauyawa
Makasau ka gaji bakan dabo babu adawa
Makasau ne sarki daya a kani anyi yabawa
